Quite a hairy arrival for this aircraft during a field tour of Rockford Airport. This ACT 747 opted for a crosswind arrival on RWY25 with 20G40 winds out of the south. After the near engine strike pictured here, the crew used the nose gear to correct their path during rollout, resulting in significant nose tire damage and a hefty delay before returning to Liege. It's not often you see both winglets on a 747 from the ground!
