Hi All,

The pics on the SAA museum website are also very impressive. They show a front view of the 74 landing and really illustrates how important it was to land on centerline. Unfortunately due to Hurricane Charley I don't have a hi speed internet connection so maybe somebody else on this forum could download and post it.

Thanks

WOW! Really puts the achievement of flying the big bird into Rand in perspective.

That's one brave photographer or a big lense....
