I remember seeing this done (stream 'chute before landing) by a RAF F-4 landing at Abingdon.
I think that it was probably during the 80s, not sure of the exact year, but for some reason the show was being recorded for TV. I suspect that it was in connection with the BoB commemorations every September. There was a Puma hovering high overhead the airfield with a TV camera and crew on-board - so they were probably briefed on what was planned - and the F-4 landed from the west on the short runway. The 'chute deployed and inflated at 'just the right moment' and the aircraft slowed rapidly and did a fairly aggressive touch-down, and then stopped quickly.
Oddly enough, never seen the footage on TV again, even tried looking on YouTube.
