I`m not sure the laws of physics would allow whats going on in that clip to be genuine lol, its very well made though and funny...... The only other explanation i can come up with is a woman pilot.

It's speeded up, in normal speed it would just look like what it is.... a bad landing.

Its a model you pair of twonks

Look at the landcsape size in relation to the plane, the size of the plane looks accurate to the landscape. If it is a model plane its been very well put together, my first thought was a model plane as thats how they land half the time but the landcsape and plane looked natural in scale.

Its computer animated.

No plane could do that on landing, not even one flown by a woman

Well I find it difficult to say if it is a model or a real aircraft. If a model it is very well done, the timing of the wheels,front and rear, hitting the ground with the puffs of smoke and the sounds was spot on. At one stage the nosewheels while on the ground left what could have been spray from standing water. They don't have brakes on the nosewheels.

If a real aircraft, it is a pretty awful uncoordinated landing and must have taken a bit of fatigue life out of the aircraft!

The crosswind landing on the other link by the big aircraft was very nicely done. It looked to be a pretty big drift angle on the approach. The pilot appeared to do a good job of ruddering the aircraft straight just at touchdown. Not easy to do.

Nice that he mentions felching in the clip

Les, I would say there is no way its real, it bounces with no impression of weight or flex, it bounces too quickly, airliners don't do that, there isn't that much rebound from the suspension in the gear too bounce like that, that kind of force would probably break something or push the gear through the floor, this is a real hard landing,

Agreed. Why is it even being discussed??

You may well be right J4CKO, but it could still be a real landing, or "arrival" more like. The actual touchdown of the mainwheels is heavy I agree but not impossible. The uncoordination comes in the slamming of the nosewheel down amd the resultant bouncing fore and aft. It could well have been a large and heavy model though.

We used to stream the tailbrake chute on the "Triangle" just before touchdown since it took four seconds for the chute to bite after initial streaming. This was for an ultra short final landing during a display flight.

I once saw someone get the streaming and touchdown all wrong, he floated up before touchdown and the chute streamed while he was about 15 feet in the air! The aircraft just fell vertically with an incredibly heavy landing and the main oleos were completely compressed. I have never seen a Vulcan fuselage that close to the ground ever with the wheels down. It was a pretty short landing alright, and when he opened the crew exit door in dispersal, 135 rivets fell on the floor!

It must be a strong machine because they were able to repair it on the base and got it flying again.

My co-pilot once streamed the chute before I called for it because he had his fingers on the switch and we hit a bump in turbulence, but I saw him do it and I was able to jettison the chute before it deployed. We all learned a lesson there!
