Not sure quite why he didn't hit the TOGA button sooner, but although it came close he didn't quite smack the tail on the deck contrary to the BBC daytime style commentary.

Relatively new aircraft too...

Things seemed a little tense on the viewing balcony of whichever hotel that was filmed from.  The Thistle?

"Big Jet TV" is fairly well known in plane spotting circles. And we know to ignore most of it's "output", since much of it is bollix.

How about a deliberate wheels-up landing in a Super DC3: LINK (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNHGUyEy3dM) That's a good example of how to get things right.
