    Interesting landings at Wellington Airport

    This is a clip (from a while back by the looks of the Livery on the aircraft) from Airsidetv.com - I did a quick search to see if its been posted here before, came up blank (so apologies if its already here somewhere)

    The guys/gals who do fly into Wellington on a shitty Nor-West day deserve bling... I have lost count of how many times I have been sitting on one of these roller-coasters!

    Oh yeah, I was almost screaming just watching. I'm a nervous passenger at the best of times, but Wellington is a shocker! I'm sure I've left fingernail cuts in the arm rests of many seats on the planes that come into Welly airport sideways!

    Pahh! Pussies and Aucklanders are the only people who complain about landings at Wellington's airport. Harden up. What's the point of air travel if you don't get reminded that you're flying?

    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!
