dombanks Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 cool, best landings are the ones with a bit of bounce Quote
Tigger Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 I can't believe how sideways some of them get just before touchdown, must put one hell of strain on the landing gear. Nice one buzz Quote
Mikey91 Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Bl**dy heroes those pilots, bad enough being a passenger in a car but any one of those I would have cra**ed myself severel times over Quote
Blatman Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Lots of those look to be the crosswind landing tests carried out by the airlines. There's a particular place they do this somewhere in South America, IIRC... Quote
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 I can't believe how sideways some of them get just before touchdown, must put one hell of strain on the landing gear. Nice one buzz They could learn a thing or two from Tesco's trolleys. They would cope with that amount of sideways without swivelling a castor! Quote
DickieB Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 These must be the one landing a month the pilots have to do, rather than the much smoother and better autopilot landings. Quote
Richgm Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Lots of those look to be the crosswind landing tests carried out by the airlines. The Aircraft with the 4 stripes along the body are Boeing's own test pilots. Quote
DerekJ Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 HA! You would not beleve the amount of times I've crashed in my flight simulator! I'm MUCH better at crap landings that these guys! DJ Quote
