Wow outstanding land!

The only question remains..,

Was he a pilot for the Air-Force, Navy or Marines?

When flying commercial you can usually tell if your pilot was in the Air Force, Navy or Marines by the way they land the airplane.

If it’s a long slow decent, put down nicely, then it’s a former Air Force pilot.

If it’s a long slow decent put down hard, then it’s a former Navy pilot.

If you are just cruising along, and all of sudden the pilot dives the plane practically over the airport, lands hard.... Then you can best believe it’s a former Marine Pilot.

Looked like a pretty good job to me. Maybe a little long but he had a lot to deal with. He held it off a long time to line up.

Can you imagine the forces on the main when the final correction is made after touching the downwind wheel and then hitting the nose gear?
