If you have to bring your ghetto-blaster with CĂ©line full blast to land like that , let me know so I can sleep in.;)

No questions, this pilot is phenomenal.
I would believe:
the only way he could control this plane like this is with a trust vectoring setup.
What it means is the mouth of the engines is moving up and down left and right in coordination with the elevator and rudder.
It is a jet and there is no air from the propeller going into the control surface at zero air speed.

Correct me if I am wrong: I find hard to believe he could do this without trust vectoring.

This doesn't remove anything from his skills. What he does is just amazing and impressively smooth.

The real plane has thrust vectoring and if I remember it right, canards....
There was a video posted here of a demo flight...
