The crew certainly deserves credit for a job well done. That said, landing without flaps, while not routine for the Boeing 767, is something that any 767 pilot can do in an otherwise functioning aircraft, and they're trained to do it. Indeed, a no-flaps landing will be preferable under some circumstances (like where deployment could result in asymmetrical flaps and pose a threat to control of the aircraft).
