Haven't flown the -8, but the classic and the /400 yes. For sake of ease on thread, Intruder and Md11 Engineer capsulize well.
Both variants were easy landings...as long as the radar altimeter is singing it's
Landing song.
A 3 g landing in any wide body sounds like chopping power
and flaring too high. Would love to hear from a 748 driver
to delineate further.
Safe journeys...Sushi
