Now is it left foot first or right foot first

Good approach!

Lets hope it's not a taildragger !

Is it a Grumman Duck or a Grumman Goose?

At our previous farm the house was right on the Bogan river. It was beautiful to see pelicans come in for a ski landing with hardly any wing flapping on the glassy water.

I can't see any see any snow all about, so it can't be a Muskovich. It's a Grumpy Mallard

That undercarriage looks like its designed for landing on water, what's he doing, lining up with a sealed runway?

He's an amphibian. You can't see it in the photo, but little wheels have popped out of those skis.

Living the life on a boat in Port Stephens.

 

I see up to a hundred perfect landings a day, all amphibious.

 

Pelicans are just awesome to watch land and gannets are awesome diving into the water to fish.

Ahhhhh - he's the Spruce Goose

[old man emu]

I can't see the canard wing.

A peculiar bird is the Pelican. His beak can hold more than his bellycan. Nev

Must've been trained by the same instructor that taught these pilots:

Let's have a looksee at what's wrong here...

1. ASI is off-scale-low
   
2. Both engines are shut down (low oil pressure lights on)
   
3. Flaps are at 0
   
4. Thrust levers are closed, so likely they don't meet the stable approach criteria.
   
5. Speedbrake is nor armed
   
6. Oh, and my personal favourite - the parking brake is on!

Looks perfectly valid for a short field landing
