Awesome, I see the aircraft has landed with flaps up so some sort of issue perhaps.
In that case the pilot would typically land a bit faster and have seen aircraft land a bit hotter during test flights while the pilot works out what the individual aeroplane wants due to weight etc, nothing worse than seeing a fighter on final approach that is flying too slow.

Great to see that aeroplane finally fly.
