Fly like an eagle and land like a crow

Tadeusz Wrona is the pilot of Polish Airlines (Polskie Linie Lotnicze LOT S.A.) Flight LO 016 who yesterday performed an emergency gear-up landing in Warsaw. It appears he did the landing perfectly (video). Wrona is a Polish word for crow. The complementary pun now in vogue among aviation fans is "Fly like an eagle and land like a crow."
