There are other ones available from that airport in Spain, apparently it and Wellington get pretty bad crosswinds. The folks in that plane had to be queasy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_LaAkAyoz0 Wellington Oh, and this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rMageU9lng Pilot Induced Oscilation, yes, it's real -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

QUOTE (Trespass @ Oct 25 2006, 01:40 PM) That's actually a pretty textbook landing had the pilot not bounced in on one set of wheels. Had the pilot in the Portuguese video done that he would have probably been able to put it down on the first try. It looks like he had a microburst right at the end and that's why he had to go around. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

If anyone wants to see this and is in the DFW area, head down to the south observation area at DFW airport. I stopped in this morning on my way to work and they are getting about 35mph winds with gusts up to 45mph and they are coming out of the north/northwest. Things won't be as bad as these videos but you'll definitely see the jet hover almost directly above you at the observation post. With their ground speed being about 110-120mph they are being pushed by the winds to about 80 or so. It's pretty neat to see.
