    Far out!!! Freaky!!! Glad they got airborne again - and really hope they landed ok the next time around.

    Guess there won't be anything like that excitement any time soon at the Hamilton Airshow

    Jeez those are some impressive videos, things must have been desperate for them to attempt landing in conditions like that.

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    LOL..... yup... I quite like any landing where I can easily see the runway out the side window.

    As my Mum always said... "The pilot wants to go home too y'know".

    The second one is a cargo plane landing at Kai Tak - that airport is no longer used

    Recent crash in Denmark - a Dash-8 had a catastrophic failure on the starboard landing gear during a landing. Amazingly no-one was badly hurt or killed: And you'll get to hear some danish as well in the background - a dialect from northern Jutland.

    Not so good if you see the runway stretching out a 45° compared to the direction of the aircraft
