Great touchdown, the nose over wasn’t too bad either

That's a beautiful photo, seems kinda staged, but instagram-ready. It's gonna rack up a lot of hits on social media.

Trevor, is that you?

The photo is more than instagram-ready, it's actually a frame-grab from the instagram video which I downloaded. I picked a frame that seemed particularly nice.

To me it seemed like a fine landing, and the pilot did a great job of keeping the nose wheel up as long as possible before it unavoidably dug into the sand.

About 120 miles.
