Mythbusters, I have been on several landings (freighters) where the PF has banked to or near 45 deg to make a last minute "clear to land" landing.. In the dreaded MD-11... Stupid, but I am here to tell.
There is nothing like that view of the ground with that big L3 window of a Md-11. Shut up and tighten the harness is all I could do.
