Quite a lot of flights but not as many as some here I am sure so perhaps i should feel priveleged or alarmed having been through ten. Impression each time was no real drama. Although the AMS approachw as rough and I could clearly see the rwy lights from my window due to crab angle and the Bermuda one was very very rough-place to avoid in mid winter if you dont like scary turbulence all the way down the approach.

The 747s were amazing just that magic RB211 spool up growl and effortless soaring away from the ground real power. The MD 80s were cool too- amazing take off deck angle even normally and real rocket ships on a go around.

I rather liked all of them actually except the Atlanta ones but that was because I knew if we didnt land off the second approach I was stranded there for 24 hours


BA747-200 Nairobi-- No rwy in sight at decision height-oddly enough Icould see the ground pretty clearly sitting just in from of wing and maybe I supoose 30 ft below the pilots


BA747 200 LHR-- ac not vacating

BA 747 400 JFK-getting too close to guy in front on short finals


DL737 200 Fog at ATL-- 2 missed apps divert to Chatanooga


BA 777 Storm windhear warming at ATL divert to Charlotte


Eastern 727 kindley field Bermuda windshear on finals


KLM 737 -400? AMS Windshear finals


BA767-300 Rome Crosswind out of limits


SK MD80 Brussells -traffic seperation


SK - MD 80 Arlanda - low altitude fog
