Registration suggests the plane recently changed hands. Old and new both corps, no pilot info there.

What's that under the wing? Did the flap tear off, or'd he end up on top of something?

Dont know, but from the looks of the terrain ahead, he did a great job putting her down.

No fire thank god. Speedy recovery to the pilot.

I've flown in and out of Greenbrier Valley Airport (Lewisburg, WV) many times. The surroundig terrain unless you stay in the valley areas rises on all sides and though there are many fields and emergency landing sights, most off airport landings there in a Mooney will have negative effects on the airframe.

The airport has a wide and very long runway. Air Force One and military transports used that runway many times. It's where the congressional and senate bunker was for uh ears (nearby Greenbrier resort).

Glad the pilot is safe.
