Good lord, where is that from? :runaway:

Birmingham, UK
Some landing and take-off highlights in awkward wind conditions at BHX this winter (a record winter for stormy conditions in the UK). Note the frequent flexing of the planes' wings in response to the turbulence.
Of the five "missed approaches" shown, three diverted to other airports, two were "go arounds" and landed successfully on second attempt.

AWESOME!!! :-) :hyper: That there is some DAMNED GOOD FLYING (just in case it wasn't obvious).

That is a perfect video to show a first time flier right before take off. :rofl:
I know it's a matter of camera angle and depth perception but some of those coming in for a landing look like a VTOL landing.

I wholeheartedly agree. It is absolutely a great video to show first timers. Most of it shows great landings and take-offs in heavy crosswind conditions, and it also shows some very good pilots who aren't to proud to execute a "go-around" rather than try to force a bad, unsafe situation. I'd personally feel comfortable flying back seat with any one of those pilots at the controls.

this airport in Honduras had a crazy approach. to stay on glideslope the pilot has to keep the plane a few feet above the descending terrain, then ends with a decent crosswind landing.

I've heard that the hill at the approach end has since been graded to give a safer approach.
Boeing made crosswind landings safer in the B-52 by allowing the main landing gear to crab 20 degrees left or right of the centerline.

It was strange sensation the first time I flew in a BUFF and the pilot tested the crosswing crab system on taxi out. Felt like some one had moved my seat to the side and I was looking out the side window to follow the forward direction of travel.

Not bad. I think I've been on a couple of flights like that. The weirdest was going into and out of John Wayne Airport in So. Cal. The "noise abatement" technique is ..........................interesting. :o

airline pilots call that departure the warp 9 climb.

Those are always entertaining.
You'll want to remember your brown pants that day.

Pilots do the best they can because they will be the first ones to the scene of the crash. :-)
