Do you think the passengers felt it? :)

Ha ha ha, I believe that it is dancing on the runway? Great picture!

A visitor from Belgium posted Fri August 8, 2008:
This is what they call swiss precision ;)

A visitor from Netherlands posted Mon July 21, 2008:
I sure hope this is not how they usually do it, cause next saturday i will be on board of a A320 from Swiss to ZRH. Great shot, absolutely 5 stars.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri May 23, 2008:
Almost makes me want to book a trip to ZRH if the landings are like this! On a serious note, awesome photo!

A visitor from France posted Fri May 16, 2008:
Wow !!! Was it a crosswind landing ??
5 stars

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue March 18, 2008:
Very nice shot

A visitor from - posted Tue March 11, 2008:
Airbuses tend to do this a lot, don't they ;)

A visitor from United States posted Sat March 8, 2008:
Now we know who Lufthansa was immitating. lol

A visitor from United States posted Wed January 23, 2008:
Tip toeing onto the runway. Nice pic. I wonder what the pax were think onboard this flight

Nice dancing airplane

A visitor from Finland posted Sat December 15, 2007:
The right wingtip is not even visible in this picture. Great photo though.

A visitor from Portugal posted Fri November 16, 2007:
Great shot! Cheers KLM-fan

A visitor from Thailand posted Tue August 7, 2007:
Oops! never see landing like this!

A visitor from Morocco posted Fri July 27, 2007:
Ouuuups, poor passengers.. nice picture anyway.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri June 29, 2007:
Great photo but not a good landing at all! As has been said this is not how you land an airliner in a crosswind! Excessive use of aileron with wing mounted engines is dangerous.

A visitor from Germany posted Tue June 5, 2007:
I fly an A320 myself and this is definetly NOT x-wind standard procedure!

A visitor from Austria posted Tue June 5, 2007:
To the visitor from "nowhere": In light GA aircrafts, this is a standard procedure; but Airliners usually compensate the drift with the rudder and some correction angle.

A visitor from United States posted Mon June 4, 2007:
Wow! How close is the right wingtip to the ground??
You don't capture something like this every day.

A visitor from - posted Mon June 4, 2007:
Cross wind standard procedure

A visitor from Canada posted Mon June 4, 2007:
That right wingtip is almost touching the ground!

A visitor from Spain posted Mon June 4, 2007:
Amazing! I wouldnt like to be on that plane!!

A visitor from Belgium posted Mon June 4, 2007:
Wow .... that is some landing ... what are the pilots thinking at this instant of time :-)

A visitor from Luxembourg posted Mon June 4, 2007:
Wow! Hats off to the Capt/ F/O for not totalling the plane!

A visitor from Singapore posted Mon June 4, 2007:
Wow! thats a crazy touchdown... A+++

A visitor from Hungary posted Mon June 4, 2007:
It must have been a cool landing memory for the passengers:) I wish I would have been on board:) But it's 5 stars, of course!

A visitor from United States posted Mon June 4, 2007:
I wouldn't wanna be on that plane...

A visitor from Portugal posted Mon June 4, 2007:
Great pic!!!!!!!

A visitor from United States posted Mon June 4, 2007:
"Ding" - Eehh, excuse me, miss. Could you please bring me some paper towels?

A visitor from France posted Mon June 4, 2007:
Very impressive picture

A visitor from Mexico posted Mon June 4, 2007:
Taken in the right time. T.B.

A visitor from Netherlands posted Mon June 4, 2007:
I'm wondering what the X-wind was on that moment? It is a normal procedure to have a little bank when de-crapping the plane before touchdown, but this looks like a little too much. Nicely captured!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon June 4, 2007:
Only in Switzerland. lol

A visitor from Netherlands posted Mon June 4, 2007:
Awsome Shot! 5 Stars!

A visitor from Hong Kong posted Mon June 4, 2007:
What the hell! The pilots should go-around! Nice shot!
