Wow. That touch and go really emphasizes the "touch" part. Normally you put the nose wheel down then pull back up.

That is a little different than a normal touch & go. Really just a bounce with the nose gear never touching the runway.

dude i'm c-17 aircrew, hickam afb where these two c-17s are based at is where i was stationed, i have flown on these two jets shown, a touch and go is where all three wheels are on the ground after landing and they take off again, what they are doing is called a GOAT (GO AROUND AFTER TOUCHDOWN). i have done enough training loacals that the base they are showing to know and this is at Kaneohe MCBH.

doesn't have to have all wheels touch down

actually that was a goat not a touch and go, touch and go is when all the wheels are on the ground and they take off again.
yes. the hardest part of landing is getting the plane on the right path and speed before you land. once you hit the ground, it's easy - just hit the brakes. for training they land, assume you can hit the brakes, then just hit the gas and take off again so they can try it again.
