Remark

Photographer

After a "non parallel" downwind leg (45°), the Captain starts a SINGLE turn at 600 feet (600 !!!). While turning and descending, we remain at the perfect level ("2 white - 2 red level" at the papi lights, left side) and, here, almost on the rwy we still have a serious and unusual bank angle. WOW, great skills, Captain.

A visitor from Algeria posted Thu November 18, 2010: Downwind??? Where do you people get this stuff?? Very cool shot of an unusual approach for a heavy.
A visitor from Germany posted Mon December 28, 2009: The airline could propably be Condor, still operating 763 on their seasonal route to PUJ ex FRA.
A visitor from Belgium posted Mon July 2, 2007: Why do you think he is landing with tailwind? The windsock on the left clearly indicates a headwind coming slightly from the right... Nice pic!
A visitor from Russian Federation posted Sat November 18, 2006: Good skills, indeed! Very sharp photo. Though, I wish we had more info on the operator of that flight.
