"Might just be me seeing what i want to see or the changing camera angle, though it appears just before ground impact a little right rudder went in ?"

I see that. Also visible is an emphatic yaw response, right. That even though the left wings are dragging. There is no (applied) Rudder visible at 20 feet AGL.

NO Flaps. The airplane is not going to impress the audience with speed. Or slippery airframe. The max angle take off pays off at two body lengths?

This aircraft in an air show, (given its size), could impress the crowd with a forward slip to a short landing. It has no problems shedding airspeed, and the attitude of a large a/c in an aggressive slip is something to see. Getting down and stopped quickly would be a finale to be be enjoyed... Is the aircraft placarded no flaps in slip?

The actual maneuver leaves one mystified. What could have been the pilot's plan?
