That really was not all that great. Very hard touchdown, although the 767's unforgiving landing gear design made it a lot worse than it should have been.



Tough conditions but that pilot was making it worse with significant PIO.
Wonder if those huge winglets are a help or hindrance in those winds.

All you armchair pilots truly amuse me. You really think so highly of yourselves don't you!

An even more impressive DC9 cracking happened with passengers in Granada.
I know someone who ended up unexpectedly sitting in his seat on the grass.
