Anybody else think the ground is too soft?

I clearly remember this (I was close where the vid is filmed, and the vid clearly shows what I'm saying) 'he touched down before' because... the plane approaching the runway suffered a spark misfire or something like that...anyway some power loss because of which the plane sinked on the ground and then bounced into the air ( the vid shows a puff of smoke and then u can hear the engine sound not properly harmonic!-I think the pilot gave some throttle but the engine simply flops!)
...wow the worst english I ever wrote...!!! sorry

anyway..coming back to the thread.. Il2 series have always forgiven such situations!

Misfiring is clearly audible from the video. It also show how tough landing gears Mustang have!

Yep, he's probably most experienced 109 pilot nowadays? I've read somewhere that his "109 instructor" was Erich Hartmann himself, don't know if it's true?

I think it's him and Steve Hinton, and probably Charlie Brown.

Apparently he met Hartmann before his first flight on the 109, and Bubi gave him some hints on how to tame the beast. Gosh I would have paid to sit there with them..
