That was a good landing if you look closely you will see that the nose gear was not locked in the down position, it was a emergency landing and the CRF equipment was waiting . You can see that once the mains touched down the pilot kept the nose off the ground as long as possible to limit the amount of damage to the airplane. Good job Mr/Ms Pilot.
