Pilot pulls off impressive one-wheel landing

An American pilot has pulled off an incredible one-wheel landing after his plane failed to deploy its landing gear.

The landing occurred at the Sonoma Air Attack Base in California on Monday.

Footage shared online showed the skilled pilot dealing with the situation like the MacGyver of aviation.

He managed to make contact with the ground with his right wheel before gently slowing the plane enough to balance the aircraft on its right and centre wheels.

Water bombing helicopters can be seen flying overhead expecting a fiery landing, but the pilot manages to bring the plane down in one piece.
