    How do you pull this off with this type of Aircraft?!?!?!?!

  • I’d bet large amounts of money that the pilot was a former Naval Aviator.

    I still the AF pilots are better, but it takes someone who can land on a carrier to make moves like that…

    That’s pretty good.  I’m sure he played the wind into effect on that one.  Almost assuredly, if not doctored, a naval pilot.


  • He did what is called a slide or a skid.

    I used to have to do it all the time when I was landing gliders. I would be coming in too high and not have the runway to overshoot by much. I’d put my air breaks on (which that huge plane doesn’t have), toss my wings one way and my tail rudder the other way.

    My mother was watching the first time I did it and thought that her 14 year old son was crashing.

    But to do it with a friggin Jet? Of that size? Hats off.
