USAF tanker coming in a little hot at the Paris Air Show

Wasn't really that wild of a landing at all.

He did come in too hot, too late on the turn on the approach.

Nah, he just transitioned from the C-130 is all.

That was an aggressive approach

also why no wingtips these KC-46s?

That was about as anticlimactic at it gets

Doesn't look all that wild to me. It's how you land if there's an a-hole running around with a Stinger missile down at that end of the airfield that the Apaches haven't been able to rescue from life yet.

It's a big plane, but it's still a plane designed to fly in warzones and flown by crew trained to fly in warzones. Sometimes that means short field takeoffs and landings or short approaches. Barrel rolls, however, are right the frick out. I have a guy I went to school with who's a tanker pilot and he refuses to do a barrel roll for me. Keeps babbling on about things like "UCMJ" and "court-martial".

ETA: The guy in that video COULD have lined it up better, though, if we're going to be honest. He was lined up right of the runway when he first rolled level.

Have a down vote for being a tard! You would be so lucky to have a landing like that when late to a saltlife meeting in bad weather. Can always tell when these KC drivers transition to the private sector and fly for major airlines...smooth in any weather!

Flying that fatass jet as if it were an AgCat.

He Could have Done What “Tex” did!

1955 test flight of Boeing 707 with Roll, Tex needed alterations to his underwear to hold those huge balls!
