It was 25 years ago, this crew had a nose wheel that decided it would rather stay in bed.  From the video excerpts, it's interesting that they had another B1 crew fly the landing in a simulator to see how it would stack up landing on the lake bed before actually getting the nod to do it.  The pilot did a fantastic job of holding the nose off the ground a long while, but not too long, just perfect.

Amazed the fuselage didn't snap in half.
