Would have been stylish if he hadn't of gotten too slow and ham-fisted the rollout causing the sink rate and bounce.

We practice a continuous turn to short final/roundout/flare for flameout approaches, but that's an emergency procedure.  We do it enough to get good at it but the vast majority of our landings are lower risk approaches with a roll-out on final around 1/2 mile or more from the touch down point.  Airspeed control is critical.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

Because there haven't been any prop aircraft in the fighter role since Korea?

I thought there was in counter-drug-smuggling ops in South America.

I immediately thought of the guy who pretended to drunkenly hijack a biplane that was linked here before.

This is the Captain.  We have a lil' problem with our entry sequence so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Latest air to air kill video I saw was a turboprop chasing down a drug smuggler in S. America just over treetop height.  Short bursts of .50 and the druggie finally spun into the trees.

But there are other jets, and other fighters...

If you do a google image seach for "fighter" most results will not be jet fighters, but something like this:

No gods or kings. Only Predator.

The Russian pilot should give lessons to this F-16 pilot.
