Dramatic E-3 AWACS fighter style run and break and landing

One from the archives from RIAT 2012 that I recently re-found. This NATO E-3 pilot demonstrated some truly amazing flying skills. A fighter style initial and break to land followed by an early base leg turn and a dramatic landing. The jet must be at 60˚ of bank on the initial turn and pulling so hard that vapour was forming on the top of the wings. Definitely a landing to remember!
