Shuttle Landing from the HUD (WMV) by Decius at 11:30 am EST, Nov 28, 2007
This lo-res 8.5MB (6min 45sec) video looks through the HUD (Heads Up Display) on the flight deck. You hear the flight deck audio of the three astronauts interacting. The video starts at about FL830 (83,000 ft), 260 Kts, Mach 2.5 velocity and 1.1 Gs. You'll hear the term HAC (Heading Alignment Cylinder) used a lot. It is the shuttle's version of a traffic pattern to line up with the runway centerline. It is a circular instead of rectangular pattern.

The linked video was similar but less edited and the landing was during the day. Your video is also quite cool though...
