In another life we did touchdowns in the Chinook....with little or no ground roll....but that was after doing 1100-1200 hours in them in one year. Standard procedure called for some ground roll....and lots of brakes!

Rate of descent in a spiraling descent with a steep angle of bank and out of trim provided a sensation of being a set of streamlined car keys....when combined with a real nose low attitude.....more like a low drag anvil.
