Having flown many a C-150’s they are so light ( look up wing-in-ground effect ) that every landing is basically done power off.

Agreed, but for a student solo pilot.....nerve wracking.

Sure it was easy, but he was trained to be cool.

The best take away: “ I am going to set her down in a corn field” which he over shot by a few hundred yards into a pasture.
