That's actually kind of scary.

I've only ever witnessed a BN Islander do this trick (it actually flew backwards along the runway). Impressive,if a bit crazy, to see a couple of hundred tons of airliner doing it!:icon_lol:

Man, a sudden drop in wind speed and that hover would have turned into a crash very quickly. Not a maneuver I would do in a plane that weighs almost as much as my mother-in-law.
