It looks to me like they were coming in hot and the pilot wanted to put the plane down. Rather than holding the nose up and letting the airspeed bleed off he pushed the stick forward to get the plane down once the back wheels were down.

The front landing gear bounced up and the aoa of the wings created the lift to raise the nose up higher. The pilot pushed the stick forward and the oscilliation got worse.

You can do this in a small plane like a 172 if you push the stick forward instead of flareing. Some planes like the Cessna Cardinal are more prone to do it than others.

It was only the brakes and reverse thurst that slowed the jet down quick enough to stop the front gear from collapsing under the load.

I was talking to a 747 pilot on Saturday and he said they have the spoilers armed so that when the wheels touch down they deploy automatically, that and reverse thrust and eventually brakes can stop the jet in very shot time despite the weight.

Looks fake, as if the nose didn't have the mass it's supposed to have.

Yeah not like fake but more like a big RC model... The shock suspensors seem not to be reacting to the mass... etc.. but it is a hell of a view anyway...

No way the nose gear would have held that kind of impact AND bounced the nose back up.

I'll ask some mechanics but that looks doctored to me.

Fake

The third bounce should have colapsed the nose gear.

I don't even think a B17 is that tough, hell on  the third bounce it looked like the main gear almost left the ground :eek:

if so, I'd want a refund ;)

OK found the background story. It is not a 'fake' per-se. It is a real footage of landing of a really large scale RC controlled model of a jetliner.

Cheers...

Here's a real one.  IIRC it was a 60 mph (100 km/h) wind gust.

Well the "really large scale rc" video has been digitally modfied big time.  From the tire smoke to the landscape.
