This Qantas 767-300 landing hard due to a gear-tilt malfunction after a 9 hr flight from Sydeny.
All was good here but there was quite a fair bit of smoke after touchdown and the fire trucks were standby.

The one day there is fog, is the day my #2 favorite 757 livery flies in from Tashkent and ends up doing 3 go-arounds before landing :sob:. I snapped this photo on the 3rd one about 10 seconds before the plane disapeared into the cloud :cloud_with_rain:

I’m amazed that you still haven’t included the Battleship Grey 777. Your restraint is astounding.
