Yes Chuck, I take your point, this is not how it is supposed to be. If you analyse this video carefully you will see a dreadful crosswind - look at the bushes in the foreground as the left wingtip touches the runway - for this pilot to get his airplane this close to landing is an absolute credit to his airmanship. I understand that this aircraft did another pass and was successfully landed safely. If I can disagree with your hypothesis a little, then being able to play as well as this pilot could fly - I would be well chuffed. Nice job from the aircraft designers and manufacturers for coming up with a machine that could absorb such loads - sort of like a marching band trumpet really.
