Another good reason to use 25f on windy days. (757-200)

Came into our hub the other day w very strong winds and my FO flying at vref +20, we were about 5 kts fast and very flat.

I knew the nosewheel was clear, but not by much.

Checking the pitch readout after shutdown, ( our company prints this out for t/o and landing readings)

It showed a touchdown pitch of .4 DEGREES !

Perhaps we are too concerned about tail clearance...
