I know I've seen a snippet of that landing clip before somewhere, maybe here, although this clip was more informative.

Cheers Garry.

Now thats Impressive!!

Kind of reminds me of some of the flights that you might do in flightsim thinking (This is one of those things that you couldn't do in real life...). But they did!

Skilled flying, thanks for the link.

Been done in the UK with Comets and Vulcans at Halton and Strathallan. Shame about the lack of video evidence! :lol:

But made it tough taxiing to the gate :)

Charlie -- Just a thought - do you think he was trying to use aerodynamic braking or just lost it on the pitch up??
