1. I have no idea how I got here.
2. and BTW the Korean 747 did align the Rwy 10 or 20ft too soon,you can see the aircraft gets blown away to the left side and the engine n° 1 cowling almost gets in contact with the Rwy.
3. Yes they can,it's a simple matter of aerodynamics. Aircrafts can crab or drift,crab is just rudder input with your feet to get the nose of the aircraft into the crosswind just to keep the correct heading. Drift is simple (hum) obtained by inversing the flight commands,to for ex. loose much airspeed (bad aerodynamics) without loosing altidude. Usually commercial planes do not drift. And IMO,I don't see in this vid aircrafts drifting,only crabbing,it's not the same.
4. LOL seaside airport is/was Kai Tak in Hong Kong,closed now because too dangerous. And that was NOT an airshow,just a regular commercial flight dude...! Useally 747's don't do airshow,very very rare,it's not a Piper Cub and the running costs are a bit higher... Ask John Travolta..!
5. I never knew planes could drift in the air :o
6. 2:01 The good ole days when you could run onto the airfield to film the landing.
7. fajny filmik;)))

16. the song is pretty brutal!
17. no just saying what i heard

19. INDEED! France would be such an amazingly lovely country if it weren't so full of frenchies. =D (and just for those retards who don't understand that what I said was a joke, go nuts. I don't care what you say)
20. Nice video, horrible horrible horrible music. This group should be ashamed of themselves if they ever put an album in the market with this song.
21. i heard a women was the pilot of the triple7 during the crosswind tests
22. I always wanted to know who did the test flights for the 767 and 777, specially the 777 crosswind tests. They are very very smooth, was it computer controlled approach?
23. watch A380 crosswind tests in iceland at keflavik they are pretty impressive
24. WEAPON WEAPON ^^

This is why you pay for the best pilots to be flying the public. Remember that when you complain about ticket prices.
