Wonder what the cargo is thinking at the moment :) | |
Fast and Furius: Hong Kong Drift....... Awww that cracked me up!!!!! :D | |
Sphincter check! Pucker Factor is very close to infinite, at this point. PF is directly proportional to crosswind component, and (difficult approach + proximity of water) squared. | |
LEFT RUDDER! is what I think they are thinking! | |
Why is everyone talking about what the pax might be thinking when the its a cargo plane??? | |
I can just imagine the passengers - Wondering why they are able to see the runway from their window! | |
They landed safely .great skill ,good job! End of story. | |
The passengers (cargo containers etc.) would not be ABLE to think anything at that moment I suppose :) | |
Fast and Furius: Hong Kong Drift. | |
I'm wondering what the passengers were thinking at this point!! | |
They aint the spoilers, thats him trying to bank it right!!! | |
"I can't even image what the crew are thinking at this point." Flight Crews's thoughts: "Horry sh!t!" | |
The spoilers are just going up! Wow, did they still manage to turn the plane into position? Great shot! | |
That guy is probably going to go off-airport and end up in the water. | |
That airplane should have done a go-around. Now it looks as if he'll end up off-airport, possibly going into the water. Such an awesome photo of a spectacular (and scary) crosswind landing. | |
Japanesse drift masters | |
Hope the pilot doesn't take it too hard-I land this way a lot on Flight Simulator. | |
I kmow what the crew was thinking. Holy s*@t!! | |
Maybe a go around would have been better in the fist place, but in that situation full reverse and rudder please!!!!!! | |
F/O: Wow, look how short this runway is! Captain: Uhhh yeah, look how wide it is... | |
Well, the pictures are great, because they proof: 747s are tough, and sometimes even idiots get away.. Kai Tak is NOT hard to land on, it only requires some attention and you need to knwo what you are doing. These Guys didnt!! | |
Amazing | |
Hope they dont travel in the US?... wow!! not surprised to see that... i am sure that lots of pople would have been glad to see those 3 (i dont believe they were 4...) aircrafts on sept 11th land... even as the one in the picture.... and as long as i remember.... that did not happen in HK or with HK crew.... please bear in mind the crosswinds in that airport in HK... | |
This goes to show that the manufacturers are able to produce a product that is stupid pilot proof! I hope these guys don't fly in the US! | |
Great shot | |
This photo in itself is a testomonial to Boeing about how tough their product is. I don't think an A-380 would fair as well, although no large airliner was meant for an approach and landing as this one. It definately show's a B-747 doing one. | |
All credit must go the the skill of those polits for managing to avoid what could have been a certain crash at that angle it really captures the moment amazing and terrifying at same time | |
Kai tak: the worlds most difficult airport to land at | |
That must have been one heavy crosswind. | |
Wow that's amazing what on earth was going through their minds at the time? | |
