Amazing that short landing where he/she braked hard enough for the nose wheel to rise off the deck.

That is a 50+ year old C-130A that had been ridden rough and put away wet. There are mods to the wing box on older or hard ridden Hercs, this one had not been done and it was not doing aeros but tanking in very rough air...

I did that. And I wasn't above hauling plastic vomit on occasion.
