Anyone one know if this is for real?

...... B727 nose wheel braking
That's why I said modern aircraft
...... Concorde et others
They are nose wheel snubbers, operational only after take off on nose wheel retraction to stop the wheels spinning too fast in the wheel well, so totally irrelevant here.
.... smoke from sudden nose wheel ground conact .....
With all wheels on the ground in this video, you later on see a violent nose down pitch associated with smoke from the tyres. To me this would indicate nose wheel braking, which the A320 family does not have.
Clyde Basher, if you can't see the wood for the trees, then I am sorry, I can do no more.
To all SLF out there, I apologise to you on behalf of all the other professional pilots, there are always one or two who will swear black is white.

Care to point out where I said this was for real?
I asked if anyone knew if it was.

Oh yes, and any Parthian shots you care to toss in my direction will be cheerfully unread.

Strewth, some people will believe anything is possible. Even well produced, fairly realistic hoaxes, but not ultimately believable.
So please can we lay this garbage to rest, or better still, exterminate it altogether?

It was an advert for Heineken. The 'pilot' apologises for the hard landing then wishes the austrian football team lots of luck against the dutch football team. All said in a thick dutch accent.
Is everybody happy now?

A320 family - agreed - as in my post a few before yours
Concordes braking was on retraction to stop rotation, not for runway performance - again as I said before

Concorde had a nosewheel disc brake though, not a snubber...
Concorde also had a system whereby you couldn't apply the brakes until the nosewheel had spun up, even if you touched down with full pressure on the footbrakes.
Shame Airbus didn't think of that.... (referring to the thread about A320 landing with park brake on...)
On second thought I don't have the technical knowledge to get into a discussion like this. I'll just put it on the table and run...
sound of footsteps fading into distance...
