Amazing video, well worth watching to the end. I like the way he lowered the nose gear only very early so they captured all of the approach, all the flap extensions and finally the main gear extension. Nice plume of smoke when the nose wheen touches. The picture is very steady while taxiing, however a bit of speed on takeoff soon shows up all the vibrations along the fuselage.

Never knew that you could actually lower the nose gear by itself?

Cool video!

Thanks Rod - Brilliant

Grahame - loved the nose wheel touchdown smoke as well.

I like it... Could watch it many times over. Thanks Rod.

Agree Daniel, I know you can rig it so the nose gear comes down independent from the main, but I did not know it operated that way, I thought they would come down together.

I notice the anti collision light does not flash very frequently either.
