All I can say is WOW! These new "AIR" brakes on the 747-400 are sooooooo effective, that they leave skid marks in the air! ! !  AND EVEN BEFORE YOU GET THERE ! ! !   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

(and no, these are not edited...it just happened that way when I did the replay!) :)

Now I know from a badly cocked-up landing that you can only get those when you bounce off the runway :o
What speed were you doing? :o :o :o

Hehe1 #3 looks WAY to low. A couple feet lower, those skids would have been on the ground! :o
