I would love to know if that was a pilot tease or dare
Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2014 10:09 amCheck out some videos of these things landing. It's perfectly acceptable to land on the nosewheels first!

Along the same lines, I know that Tupolev authorized the Tu-154M to perform three-point landings (nose and mains down at the same time) without issue as well, though I've never seen it done.
I'm hoping that we'll see a nice FSX version (with a VC) sometime in the future, but I don't know of any in development currently.

There was a great looking model in the works going seven years back but the group closed down, pity the source files for all that work was not released to a caring person to continue the task.

Judging by the appalling rate of climb I would suggest a very, very heavy aircraft.

Seem to be a common thing watching Lockheed C-141 Starlifters flying south out off Christchurch, a very Very shallow climb out.
