Well I said it AGAIN last night.
Coming into KSAN in the dark flying a 747-400 with a heavy load (using Just Flight's 'Air Hauler'). I was ignoring ATC and landing against the pattern as the time limit on my cargo was soon to expire.  With traffic set for only 40% I thought I would be OK, but at about 2 miles from the runway I saw a plane taking off toward me.  To make a long story short, I did NOT go-around and managed to slam the plane to ground and get it stopped with the oncoming traffic successfully taking off.  The  oncoming plane was only at about 200ft agl  when it passed over.  Needless to say, Air Hauler reported my landing as being "quite positive".  But boy did those famous last words escape from my mouth on that landing! :)
