I wouldn't do that on anything but a paved runway.

I would classify this video as " Do Not Try This At Home".

Looks like one of Hennings landings.

They are really loud, except when they are broken, which is often.

With landings like that its no wonder!

The deHavilland Buffalo will do the same thing. Those airplanes had so much flap that with enough speed they'll climb nose-down.

But anyone trying that is risking a wheelbarrowing accident. It's a nasty groundloop. The guys in the video know what they're doing.

I'd log that as a landing.

At London's Heathrow airport, it was fairly common in the 1950's to see Constellations landing nose wheel first after a transatlantic flight.

Connies? Interesting. I've heard the B-377s routinely landed nose-wheel first, but hadn't heard about Connies.
