Aero-Tips!
The Northwest DC-9 touched down at Indianapolis. Landing was
much smoother than I’ve grown accustomed to, and the pilot
did something I’ve not experienced frequently on commercial
carriers at all -- he/she held the nose up during the landing roll,
keeping the nosewheels off the ground until elevator effectiveness
waned, then deftly let the tires kiss the pavement. It was an
artful landing.
