Godchaser,

I'll be interested in your comments after you start your flying lessons a bit down the track - I'd be particularly interested to see how your viewpoint may change as you gain some further insights. I've been watching and teaching maintenance engineers about these types of occurences and aircraft systems operations demonstrated here for nearly 4 decades - I can tell you that this situation is much more normal than you might think. It wasn't the landing gear that the aircraft rotated about, but the pilot providing rudder input - watch the trailing edge of the vertical fin as that 'rotation' occurs.
