"Autumn Hicks, spokeswoman for the Commemorative Air Force, said the crew followed proper safety protocol, allowing the plane to land safely.

“Luckily the pilots were very well trained,” she said."

Luckily? I'm pretty sure that's not a word I'd EVER use in discussing an incident when it comes to the skill and training of the pilots.
