Hi,I've been a forum lurker here for a long time and hav got answers to all my questions without even asking. That says something on the quality of this forum !I just wanted to share this little video with you all. A C-47 lands and come to a complete stop in 300 m (650 ft)

Best regards,Hakan

Cool, and not for the feint of heart (note the rotation towards nose over). :(

When I flew the EC-47 in Vietnam the technique of keeping the tail flying after touchdown was taught by all our instructors as a method of maintaining direction control during roll out. Additionally, the 'tail in the air' maneuver focuses all the aircraft weight on the main gear allowing more efficient braking.
