EVERYONE LOOK:

This was supposed to be a high speed taxi run. At 100kts, the co-pilot froze up and failed to cut the throttle. The pilot reached over with his left hand to close them, and the airplane rotated, the throttled we're then cut and the pilot immidiately pitched down, fearing a stall, and landed as best he could. You can also see the crosswind swept the plane way off centerline. I saw an interview in which the pilot explained this

he should have left of the small wheel stearing column and not of the main control column, if you ask me. Some aircraft stear with the rudder peddels, therefore allowing proper controll by a single pilot.

Check out the RAF V-bomber force: the Vickers Valiant (seen here), the Handley Page Victor and the Avro Vulcan. They were basically the British equivalents of the B52, albeit supersonic and highly manoueverable. The test pilot navigator for the Valiant was the first person to break the sound barrier facing backwards. The Vulcan was particularly well renowned, see watch?v=Yry2LnaNeXc

Wait-a-minute...see that landing? That's a very well built aircraft. I've never seen or even heard of this aircraft before today...I'm amazed at it. Who thought this up? Whoever did, he or she was ages ahead...amazing.

Why in the world were the flaps extended if it was only a high speed taxi run? It seems like flaps (more wing area) is the last thing you want during a high speed taxi...
