Scary landing vid - I have landed at this airport....

It was nothing like this though.

Remember the first on is meant to be landing - I would have shat myself....

I have had some pretty scary flights - but thankfully never an aborted landing.

Scaryyyyyyyyy

Wow, that first one was insane !! :helpme

Got to have some skill for that

You broke the BBC.

That's not complicated at all for any pilot. Just a little rudder input and you're good to go.

It's a technique that you train for. Crabbing. It's how you deal with crosswinds.

Scary yes. I've had a couple of landings over the years where I polished the wingtips a bit.

I remember a scary landing at Lima, Peru -- or it may have been Santiago, Chile(long time ago) -- but the plane felt like it was going to rip apart. Hot stewardesses on that LAN airline.

You cant remember the airport you had this near death experience at but I bet you can describe those stewardesses in detail...

Yeah, that first one woulda put your heart thru it's paces! :1orglaugh

Look like the quality of landing I manage in flight simulator on a clear dry day with no wind :Oh crap

I was thinking about doing a few hours on a real flight simulator - They have it on Groupon at the moment - They do a view of what it would have looked like from the outside for you to take home - I am guessing there will be a lot of blood and guts.

Have you seen the film 'Alive'?

South American babes with blonde hair and blue eyes.

I expected to see worse...

I don't think I have but I know the story.

Doubt it would be so realistic that you'd have to eat bits of the simulator instructor before they let you go home.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

That first one was rather insane.

I wonder if they let you use the restroom when they bring the plane back around again.

That would be far too late...

yeah, I'm, never going there by plane, ever.

I've had a few landings like those and you do have a moment where you wonder if you're gonna make it...

Damn, that would make anyone shit their pants!
