Hats off!
Piece of cake.
Not even a spark (and I'm sure little damage to the Rwy)
Bravo!

Quite.

Another aeroplane "nearly" crashed but didn't.

Nothing to see here, move along now!

Dis-oriented

Whenever we get one of these mobile phone videos posted online, irrespective of the content, why does it never occur to the people who take them to rotate the phone so that we get a landscape format image? Even when the additional content wouldn't reveal much it would still be a lot more informative than the blank strips which border the video when it's in the display mode.

Yes I wish people would learn to use their cellphone videos correctly

Looks like a Super 27.

The noise coming through the floor would really grate on me after a while...

Don't you luddites know anything? It is NOT COOL to hold your rotten apple sideways when videoing!
