True. Although, more commonly the mains are touching at or just before the 1000 foot markers. Rather that being in mid-flair there.
The expression used was ‘duck under’ (the glide path) on short final. The concept, and the expression were remarkably unpopular with the FAA due to the quite sensible requirement for a stabilsed approach. Ducking under was replaced with the more politically correct term of ‘adjusting the aim point’. Midway, Key West and Burbank are relevant examples.
