Blimey, the photographers got more than they bargained for

I take it the runway was short and he was attempting to use the full length, and that he did...

Unglaublich.
A fixation for landing on the numbers maybe?
0/10 but 5.8 for artistic impression.

Gunship?

Shame, would have liked to have seen Europe convert one into a gunship, like Puff the Magic Dragon...

Boss of a Sqn at Marham did it many years ago when we were using the short runway at night. He didn't believe us until the SATCO drove him out to show his tracks, in the grass a good distance before the t'hold !
