IAF An-32 One Wheel Landing!

Seen here for the first time in public, footage of a 2012 close call by the crew of an Indian Air Force An-32 transport aircraft that suffered a landing gear emergency. Forced to land with only one main wheel down, this video captures what it looked like from the ground. The feat won the aircraft’s pilot Flt Lt Gunadnya Kharche a Shaurya Chakra in August 2012. A first hand account of the incident is a chapter in India’s Most Fearless 2 by Livefist founder Shiv Aroor. It’s available here:
