yikes...methinks I'd have landed in Vancouver, not Calgary
I think it is one hell of a note when you look at the skill of a pilot in this video making such a kick ass landing and more than half the posts on here are talking about destinations. You all ought to try it and then see what you want to talk about!!!!!!!!!!!!
Granted, the crew shows great skills. But it's not rare to have strong winds during landing or take-off, and it's still what they are trained (and payed) to do.
It's a great video and a great landing by a good pilot. Seen many other similar videos. I only started to talk about destinations because someone was surprised that something was landing in Calgary.
I live only 2 hrs from YVR and fly a lot to and from Europe. I prefer YXX-YYC-AMS over YVR-AMS direct for many reasons. YYC is one of the better airports!
It really shows how much training these pilots go thru when they have step up to the plate and deal with 150kms winds,just unreal the size of this jet bein manouvered to a amazing safe landing.Thumbs up to these pilots with all the lives at stake.ps.Calgary,Edmonton and Vancouver are all international stops as well.Canada does not revolve around Toronto.
