That's a captain's only landing then I take it. I've been to some crazy strips but that takes the cake in that equipment. Cracking vid, thanks.

pretty short runway for a 757!

reminds me of Pantelleria where we go a lot (small Italian island in the Med off the Tunisian coast)

Not a big problem for us (in ATR) but is interesting to watch 757 and A321 operating there.

Pros need only apply, the others can only wish they were so proficient.

It's long enough. Looks short through a telefoto lens.

What's a good name for a Ppruner who posts a video link that has already been posted a half-dozen times?

Or am I being redundant again? :}
