And THIS is why our pilots stress to NEVER try and make the (difficult and dangerous flare for a) three point with the mustang at our museum, go for the faster and safer two-point, and the brign the tail down.

Lucky.  Almost payed for showing off for the camera.

They did do a great job restoring 73079 though.

Yeah, he missed the opportunity to save it after the high flare.  Could have pulled power and committed to a three point vs trying to pin the mains.
