Narrative:

Captain was PF, I was PNF. Grossly unstable approach and landing, runway 12, flaps 3 degrees. Target/approach speed 133 KTS, touched down at 160-165 KTS at very end of touchdown zone. Hot brakes, maximum temperature I remember was 545 degrees C. Kept 250 KTS till past OM. Through our approach I kept telling captain he was fast, 'you need to put gear down' twice, kept my hand on gear handle to emphasize. Terrain warning and sink rate went off several times. Flaps 2 degrees and 3 degrees were over sped...at about 500 ft AGL I told captain to 'go around.' he said 'I got it' or something like that. I came so very close to taking control of the aircraft. I have more data if needed. I told captain what I thought of the approach.
