Company test flight at Edwards or Mojave IIRC, many years back.

The pitch angle never changes all the way down the approach. I wonder if it was an autopiloted approach. Not an autoland obviously but maybe the old airplane scenario of "Nothin' to worry about folks, but can anyone fly a plane?"

Thought it was an FAA certification flight during which the FAA assessor rather f*cked up the heavy landing part of the test. Company unsurprisingly not best pleased!

Bit of race tape, it'll do a trip.

Was that a landing or a crash? or maybe a crash landing? :confused:
