SayethWhaaaa 245 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Oh yeah, I saw this several years ago. It's incredible. I'm interested to see how they would have gotten the plane out of there too. Apparently it was quite a small runway...It's like watching an airliner carrier landing. Edited March 8, 2014 by SayWhatt 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nesher 629 Posted March 8, 2014 after landing a C-130 on an aircraft carrier, why not an airliner? great landing! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macelena 1,070 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) If Iceland had normal names, there was an airstrip in SF2NA whose real life landing videos are beyond awesome Edit: like this Edited March 8, 2014 by macelena 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+pcpilot 181 Posted March 8, 2014 Yeah, woulda loved to see a takeoff too, lol. Incredibly short and steep approach. Tripped me out watching him skim over those bushes and trees, then he had a bit of a crosswind too. Who says there isn't seat of the pants flying anymore, lol. I know my butt cheeks woulda been clenching the seat cushions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyviper 1,101 Posted March 8, 2014 Its still incredible to see every time. here's another one. I remember reading a book way back when and seeing a picture of a 747 making its approach on a runway surrounded by building. Like the runway was in the middle of a town on both sides there was buildings. http://youtu.be/RIvbm2ZlsnQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
