Heh, nope. That was probably a paid, professional pilot.
I saw a much more interesting flight yesterday. A Cessna twin couldn't get its nose gear down. The pilot brought it in perfectly, held the nose up with elevator control and then feathered the props a split second before the airplane nosed over. It was pretty dramatic stuff but the pilot was obviously very good. No one was hurt though things could easily have gone much worse. It even appeared that the airplane would be salvagable.
There's an old saying that any landing you walk away from is a good landing. This one was one of the all-time best.
