Hi all, please if this has been already posted just delete.
I was doing zapping and found this HD Video of several wide bodies landing in Zurich, where you can see the undercarriage working hard to absorb the energy and brake, some of this are in slow motion and that allows a much more clear appreciation. Also the wing flex and rudder/tail working can be seen clearly.
If this is new for someone in the community, I think you will enjoy watching it...

Great find Gonzalo!
Gave me shivers at the very beginning of the first video already, this stunning touchdown in the darkness. The first video showed the pleasure working at the airport and the friendly environment of working in an area where somehow everyone knows everybody.
The second one is a mix of the joy of flying, the beauty of aircraft in their natural environment and the roughness of working those machines.
Made me recall how much i love working in the aviation industry.

I just know now, why i love flying so much. It just bought out how i see aircrafts, and showed me what my eyes wanted to see. The Video is unimaginable! Amazing!
Thank You for posting this
Always a pleasure to share beautiful things like this. The work of the people who made this is just spectacular. My sister in law landed yesterday in Zûrich and watching this videos give me a rush of pure envy

Apologies in advance, for a possibly dumb question here. What is happening at 5:20 in the first video?
The A380 couldn't be doing a powerback could it ? Is the video reversed?
The best time to plant a tree is 40 years ago. The second best time is today.

Was it the standing water on the runway that is causing the left main on the Delta 767 to porpoise between the two axles? Can't say I have ever seen that happen in a video.

The A380, so ungainly-looking in still photos, is poetry in motion when it takes off. Those wings are just gorgeous.
Most gorgeous aircraft: Tu-204-300, 757-200, A330-200, 777-200LR, 787-8

Quoting Tomskii (Reply 19): Funny how on when I posted these videos last year nobody seemed to care. And suddenly somebody discovers it and people notice lol.
Sorry for that ... I guess I kidnapped your success
What was the name of the thread you started last year?? Sometimes the title of the thread makes a big difference in the attention it gathers from the fellow members...
Anyway, neither you or me deserve any credit for this spectacular videos, I think is Mr. Ruesch who really deserves a long applause by all of us who loves aviation. Bravo !!
25 boeingorbust: Great video! If only more Boeings haha! Oh well nobody's perfect!
26 okie: I usually pass up most videos or lose interest pretty quick, poor quality or of little interest. I have to say these videos are beyond excellent. I p
27 NoUFO: I think I had seen the 1st video before and somehow forgot about it. So thanks for bringing it up again, it was a real pleasure to watch it.
28 TrnsWrld: Im wondering if the videographer does not like Beong aircraft? lol Not a single 777 or 747 in any of the videos posted on this thread which I found ki
29 Gonzalo: Beong ? Ok, we all know what you mean... And, personally, No, I don't think Mr. Ruesch can have something against Boeing planes... Nope... there is a
31 seabosdca: Keep in mind that ZRH is the major hub of an all-Airbus airline. I'd say half the aircraft in those videos are LX aircraft.
32 flightsimer: I agree. I've come to the conclusion that in any photo or video of it shot from side to side, going around the tail, it looks beautiful. However, loo
