    It's an A318 but it's a 7:37 long video!

    Whoever landed that is a boss. Nice landing for the steep approach. Turning that thing around on the runway looks tight!

    It is sexy how pilots landing at this airport always still have a lot of runway to spare despite a 4,900 foot long runway and that they are using turbojet airliners

      MegaAirplanelover I know, I watched one with an avrojet Rj 85, and according to google earth, he only used 1800 feet. The amazing thing is, that at a “normal” airport, that’s usually your touchdown point, not full stop point. A couple in the US that have short runways are key west, and Orange County.

    Here you can see spoilers 3 and 4 retract to 8 degrees from 30 degrees 3:52 at 85 feet AGL. Amazing steep approach.

    Superb video.. lovely shots!! But that announcing air hostess/ stewardess in the end kind of spoilt the high that I was getting watching the video ......with her ... sorry to say ..really badly made good bye announcement...... someone commented that she seemed tired ( not professional BA.. please note..).. my personal opinion ( and others may disagree.. that's fine)..she sounded like she had been helping herself to the liquor on board during the duration of the flight.. almost slurring..long gaps between words.. BA needs to note this and take action... anyways.. thanks for sharing!!!!!
