Here it is on You-Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUei3kAcl9s&feature=related

Latest word is that the pilot landed long (like halfway down the runway). I can’t confirm that, but here’s 2 things that I saw: 1. No speed brakes deployed. 2. Pilot didn’t use full aft stick on rollout. This guy was having a bad day.

The runway the pilot landed on (36L) is 8002’ long. It appeared to be a dry surface, so that’s plenty of concrete to stop on. It looks like he/she landed long. I’m surprised the USAF did not install an aircraft arresting system at the airport. They usually do this for airshows at airfields that don’t have them. Would have saved the day if one was installed.
