I've seen that a few times. I am sure that initial bounce did the damage.

Yeah me too.... We all thought the display was over iwith that stuck on the runway... Great fun to watch some Hawks sideslip round it to land :-)

Lol ! I couldn't believe it at the time ... Ruined the display though :-( Some genuinely funny comments on the video..... I've left most of them ... One thing I did learn that day .... Don't spend all day videoing in shorts ... I had the worst sunburn on my legs ever ....

I think my favourite bit of the video is the guy putting his arms around the pilot as if to say never mind mate :-D

Cant believe I say 'Oh dear' when the nose wheel collapses .... What a lame thing to say !!!!

That's dramatic.

I can imagine the old 737-200 waiting on the side saying "Those show off youngsters".

A facebook 'suggested post' I actually liked!

Having chatted to the pilots in the 732, they were praying the 733 stayed straight!

That crossed my mind too. I'm sure directional control would have been a bit iffy once on the ground.

I managed one rotation and was nearly sick, I just don't do spinny things.
