The passengers looking out of the windows must be thinking:

"Gosh! That is a wide runway!!"

How were the pilots able to land that plane which is the SUPER JUMBO SIZE A-380 !!

Not a very good landing. He floats for very long and then plonks it down with loads of crab. I know the big Airbuses can be landed like that, but it hurts a pilot’s heart to see a landing like that.


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

You are right. Also landing with that much misalignment makes the plane squirrelly on the ground until it overcomes the swings. Easy to get a runway excursion.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Quite a few change the underwear,



There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Man, the A 380's wings looked super thick, they are pretty thick but with all the garbage out it doubled them.

I wonder how many people were watching the tail fin cam on landing. eek
