Airplane Landing Video Thread

A person doing this, for the take off jet wash, was blasted onto the adjacent rocks and died. This is on orient beach in St. Maarten. Since then, the authorities have clamped down on this nonsense.
Just a minor nitpick… not Orient Beach; that’s over on the French side of the island and the beach goers there have decidedly less clothing.

I stand corrected. I will now go Google the photos; ya know, to become educated 😉
I’m sure there are some photos but those are few (actually from Orient Beach) because they are very strict about no camera/phone picture taking. And honestly, only 5-10% are picture worthy anyway.
 
Looks like a near collision in Austin

That's computer animated off Microsoft Flight Simulator.
 
That explains why you don’t hear an air traffic controller screaming for both of them to abort. Too bad for Noleclone2. He’s flying while thinking about this video.

Assuming the ATC chatter is real than most likely something similar happened but it wasn't nearly that close.

I mean if you think about it the pilot of the landing aircraft should be able to see the other aircraft pulling out onto his runway a long time before he actually takes any action to abort his landing.

DEI pilot has her own YT channel (is it DEI when the pilot is a non-white male in an evolved first world country?)

Video is a nice aerial tour of Amsterdam. Pilot lady adds many visual details of what they are doing throughout the landing process.

Awesome doc on a guy that landed a plane after his pilot friend died while in the air. I remember the first time I watched this and thinking I'd probably only watch the first few mins, but ended up watching the whole damn thing lol.

I landed like this in sweltering hot weather in Minneapolis. It was like 102 and the weather pattern was creating a ton of thermals and cross winds. I looked out the window to see we were coming in diagonal, at about 30-45 degrees off center. We hit hard when the pilot dipped the wing at the last minute. People made a comment that it was a terrible landing. We had a ride along pilot who said it was textbook perfect. He said a crosswind/thermal could grab the right wing and basically flip the plan so you have to lower the wing and bring us in hot. The turbulence on the way down was so bad you could look down the body of the plane from way in the back, to see the whole fuselage flexing and wobbling.
 
Apparently, pilots dying in air is relatively common. This is a guy with some minimal basic flying with a Cessna has to land a king air where his friend the pilot died and his family is in the back. Has all the ATC traffic. It's crazy to see them manage other air traffic. They also have interviews interjected from the pilot on what he was thinking at the time.
