I tell you what you don't want you hand near that spoiler on the 88 when it gets confused and extends and then slams back down. That thing is violent.
I do hate when good landings are ruined by spoilers though. I don't know if the 738 is like that but I remember 737 guys at CAL talking about Captains trying to grab the spoilers before it ruined the FOs nice touch.
Now imagine how giddy that plane spotter was to grab that shot.
