interesting approach
Oops, somebody send me this you tube link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laXMD6gaT-k

Nice flying (AA) 757 guys ! ( landed before the threshold though )


Bet the groundproximity warning cb's were pulled !


But does anybody know where this video was shot ?




By the way, another "nice approach" this time in St Barths here :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqOo0Qol89o

This video has been around and in PPRuNe for quite some times.

That is the standard approach into Tegucigalpa, Honduras (hope I spelled that right). I have landed there a few times in a 727. It's really not as bad as it looks.

Not to worry, I'm sure there are some folks here that have not seen it before either.

I still think the old approach into Hong Kong (Kai Tak) took the biscuit - never been so frightened in my life! Any links to that?

Ah yes, good old Kai Tak. It was always fun looking into the appartments and seeing what the inhabitants were having for dinner!
