Gotta love the landing and then the jet blast when getting ready to take off:

That place has some great takeoff/landing videos.

However, my fave landing has to be this one:



Edit - changed to a video that allows embedding.

A snippet from the book 'Sled Driver' by Brian Schul. I am sure some of you will have come across this on your internet travels, but I think it is awesome.

Do you have that book Dylan? I'd like to read it [pictures are also meant to be superb] but I think it's out of print and second hand copies are a few hundred quid over here.

*DID YOU KNOW.....

That when the Spitfire was first introduced, the engine had a fatal flaw. When performing negative G maneuvers, the engine would cut out (you can actually see this happen in the Battle of Britain movies opening sequence (you can hear the engine cut out, then see black smoke belch from the plane, indicating the chamber has excess fuel). It was eventually fixed, making it the match of it's German counterpart.

NERD ALERT*****NERD ALERT******

An excellent video covering this flaw and how it was initially fixed is here:

And the device that Schilling invented was known by RAF pilots as 'Miss Shilling's orifice'. True!

I spent years flying every fortnight to and from the USA, on 747's, Concorde and then on a Gulfstream. I have clocked up more air miles than I would like to remember on 747's and Airbus's going around the world and would be very happy to never see the inside of a major airport terminal ever again. I loved the speed of the Concorde (but not the noise or the cramped seats), the first class cabins on Singapore Airlines but for pure ease of flight (car to the steps of the plane and takeoff when you are ready) the Gulfstream won hands down..........

I appreciate the technology and design of big airliners, but I am still scared of flying, particularly on long-haul flights, once the thick cushion of alcohol between me and reality dissipates.

However, I always keep this quote in mind when on a flight: Trying to get rich by playing mega-lottery is like trying to die by flying commercially.

I'm certainly not an airliner buff, but this Soviet AN-225 is such a cool design.

Crazy!! I can only assume they don't land at night. While I'd like to visit Honduras, I'll be hiking the over-land route.

Not sat in the Dreamliner yet. Did you like it? Amazing technology, but I like the sort that's more analog (to a point) with more sticks and buttons, and have an inappropriate affection for the SAAB 2000.

especially in Swiss Air livery
