Remarks: One of the best landings I have ever seen, the pilot held it up for ages, getting quite low at the back, using the air to slow down, he/she eventually put her down.

You're right about leaving it low and late... Excellent shot, by the way - your perspective makes the good old 744 look like she's a heavy bird indeed. By the way, most people arriving at YSSY by air actually won't see the billboard (which is probably a good thing...)

LOL @ "White Lady Funerals" Great shot, what a majestic bird she is.

I'm interested to know why the pilot would do that on runway 25, considering heavies have enough difficulty slowing it down without losing runway space in the air. I would think that reversers and air brakes would slow the a/c down faster than 'sinking' onto the runway
