Take a look at this 737 belly landing video clips.
http://radioscanning.wox.org/Scanner...o/737gear.mpeg

On a first sequence it appears the pilot is trying to get the gear

unjammed
by bouncing the aircraft on the good landing gear. The second sequence
shows the actual landing. But I am little puzzled by the fact that when

he
touches down the aircraft attitude is quite flat like in the normal
touchdown. Isn't it better to touch down at minimum flying speed with

nose
up and about to stall?

Emilio.



Having only dialup I did not look at the clip but was it a military 737?
