thats all fantastic gents , i highly enjoy the reading from all this highly experienced veterans being here.

[If you want to see my retirement flight in 2003 go to Flightlevel350.com: Free Aviation Videos, Airplane Videos and Cockpit Videos and search MHTG. I am the 7th video down. We couldn't return with an engine failure because flaps 15 wouldn't give us enough runway. It had 5400 ft useable. We had to use a military base 30 miles away if necessary.
superb landing, good job ! i looked hard to see you, but damn, i saw only a plane landing and filmed by a spotter like thousands filmed every day.

nevertheless- may i also share my flapless landings with you ?
visit YouTube

search "sts128"

i,m the 7th video below, like you was in your link.

see- no tailstrike , no nosewheel , no floating, no engines spool up. but we also were limited in our go around performance.

cheers gents !
