Nice flying skills there


Here's a Boeing 757 landing in extreme cross-wind conditions at Bristol Airport in England last October.





Kudos to the pilot.  He put the plane down very neatly, under very difficult conditions indeed.

Sticking the landing is something I reserve for gymnists. I don't want to be a feature in some pilot's wish book of dream landings in adverse conditions. Let him crash and burn on his own.

He'd done that before... LOL

I'm thinking that airliners should be equipped with the B-52's all-steering landing gear.

It does explain why airlines request passenger close their win dow shades during landing.

I've just been flying within the U.K. and internationally for the last 89 weeks and all the airlines require the window shades to be fully raised, not closed, when landing.

I meant to say ' 8 or 9 weeks, not 89.
