That is an experienced pilot...

Take off is optional, landing is compulsory!

Very experienced. Notice how he planted the main gear and the nose wheel touched only for a second during that procedure, then he unloaded the nose gear at the exact instant he applied right rudder. Had he not done that perfectly the side loading would have collapsed the nose gear.

Huge respect for that pilot, but can you imagine being a passenger on that one, especially sitting on the side of the plane looking straight down the runway for a few seconds. Betcha lots of anuses got scrunched up on that ride.

Hi Gang:
I would like to hear the pep talk the pilot gave the passengers before the approach!
