Film is no longer available.

I have a feeling the video is the same video of me trying to land a Ta152, I streamline it very gingerly by removing the tail, gear, and prop before scraping to a stop.

No wonder that one guy got shot down in the '60s... Probably didn't wanna get killed landing that thing and took his chances with a SAM.  :O

LoL.  At the 2:17 mark one of the Z28 chase cars either looses it, or the guy E-Brakes it and whips a toejamty.

LOL.  Mix a long-winged jet-powered (no prop blast over the rudder) tail-dragger with a pilot trained in a tricycle gear jet and hang on. <G>

I was stationed at Osan AB, ROK in the early '80's...we would park at the end of the runway just to watch those birds land.  It was always an interesting show...though nothing like that film.  You would be amazed at how loud that jet is
