Deep...Really??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUIgzf6qLfw

then, you got to worry about those deckhands too? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WffKf...eature=related

Hayyyy... We get bird issues too. You ever had a pelican crap on your samwich?

Yeah I suppose deck hands could "shine" up the wheels as well as manatees but if they do I hope they at least leave their plier holster back on board. Damn dings are tough on nibral..

And they are going over 100knts when they touch down

I "think" the approach speed for a 747 is about 150 kts.....

I had the "pleasure" of landing at O'hare in a 50+MHP wind... I couldn't help but think during the final approach that it felt like we were flying sideways... Flying is not new to me, but that was the 1st time I have had that sensation. When I picked up my rental car at the end of the runway, I found out why... looked similar to that video... I've never seen a plane that big coming in at that type of angle...

[ejstenger]

The definition of flying is---Hours and hours of boredom interupted by seconds of sheer terror. Hey, those guys practice that daily.

There were some folks standing pretty close to the runway and that plane is coming in sideway?? Man...I'm headed for the hills!!

I think I'll just take a boat from Sydney...

[trollman]

looks like what you see from a lawn chair on any summer day at Nantucket Airport - never stops blowing.
