[phillintheuk1]

Ya canny just come in off the street and do that shit ya know, It taks lottsa practice.



[cannonball9700]

What?

[Elitecamp27]

I have never landed in TGU, always San Pedro. If i recall correctly,TGU is not even ranked in the top 10 scary places to land. LOL

[8bobthebuilder]

Looks dangerous..

[BabyBBB01]

wow is this a real ....AIRPLANE LANDING?

GUESS THIS IS A FAKE AIRPLANE LADING

[lisavetskiykolodkin]

i started to hate boings cause mostly its cold)

i love when its not cold but still my fave plane in swiss air(they give free stuff)

airbus 320)

unforchinatly i had to fly from moscow to amsterdam with women pilot on old boing)

but last time with boing 737-400 i had a great flight to nice from brussels and back on airbus 321) boing was better) btw i wasnt cold and its 20 min faster

[docrw]

@lisavetskiykolodkin  You really need to learn how to spell and write! Boeing NOT "boing" are the best plane manufacturers in the world and always will be.

[jhet757]

@docrw absolutely right, BOEING, not boing... they built & still building the most advanced airliner.

[portinaribe]

@docrw Dude, he's a foreigner and as well as anyone else, he's entitled to express his opinion and experience about "BOINGS". thx

[andrewlondon007]

that's a good landing. i'm an airbus fan, though! i wish we could have A380's park at terminal C in BOS

[valdi9165]

A chuck norris landing.

[UnitedAirlines777]

@valdi9165 Chuck Norris would be able to land a B752 like a helicopter

[jhet757]

I love boeing 757

[nabuhodenozor1]

Now i'am not sure...

...or pilots are crazy or heroes...?

[MandalorianKnight]

That pilot has balls of steel

[captaina]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

[SexyNazi133]

just to let you know.. its a boeing 757

[MrTommy001]

Do they only let former carrier pilots fly into this place? That airport is reason enough to never go there...

[richardfld]

That runway looks a bit short

[pmgruhn]

@richardfld Telephoto compression.

[MrXxppa]

this aiport is very bad for the landing aircraft

[Jack51971]

I meant to say it can be extended still another 2,000 feet as it has been extended by 1,000 after the TACA crash!

[Jack51971]

This runway has been extended since A TACA plane crash here that killed the pilot and a passenger. (A US military plane as well about 15 years ago or so too!) That hill from where this video was shot needs to be removed. The Hondurans should have done it years ago. This is why you pay airport taxes. There is no reason thios runway could be extended from some 7,000 to 10,000 feet but the Hondurans fail to move earth and buy out homeowners and move roads.

[quattrosk]

This is a great crosswind landing, with an even more difficult approach! Bravo to the pilot, but I feel sorry for the people with the shacks getting blasted by jet exhaust haha!

[sdiablos]

I guess he was approaching the runway too fast

[CurtisSalopek]

Can someone with some knowledge in aviation explain this to me? Where is this? I'm shocked they would even let airliners land at this runway. Especially a large AA airliner.

[jordyboy321]

amazing pilot

[4everdude012]

that wasnt scary

[rewindablender]

how is it scary??

[soco75]

looks like a routine for pilot :)

[bucki58]

I was a passenger on that plane and nearly pooped my pants.

Praise Jesus I am still alive.

[wwgt]

" dont be afraid " ....that says it all

I so wanna fly there

[ciao614]

sick.

[clarinetman1664]

tegucipalpa, toncontin airport, honduras

[abdul456]

No Actually its Japan's old airport.

[clarinetman1664]

Sorry but you're wrong. This IS Tegucipalpa,Honduras. Not Kai Tak.

[clarinetman1664]

which was BTW in China (Hong Kong).

[oonchee]

this is by farthe scariest airport in the world to land at.i understand that some flight attendants give up this route to other flight crew to avoid landing at this airport.american airlines in fact was supposed to pull out of here for the same reason.try approaching this baby at night.

[Deutsche22]

Please, what airport/city is this? Thank you!

[makreis]

I can only imagine the many different pilot warnings blaring in that cockpit while on approach.....

[7E0N]

lmao

[omgroy1587]

dam thats crazy, hopw no 1 was flying a kite down there XD

[sisophous]

May 30, 2008 a plane overshot this runway and ended up in the street. 4 died and at least 65 were injured. Is anyone surprised? I'm not sure if that crash is even the most recent one at that airport.

[sisophous]

I could sit there for hours and watch takeoffs and landings. Looks like they built the runway at the bottom of a valley.

[jonathan1stewart]

Looks like Tegulcigalpa, Honduras. No autopilot landings there.

[DoctorofEducation]

Thanks for posting

[viperz990]

wow... did it stop or overshot??? :D

[MiamiExtreme]

OMG i'd be shitting bricks!!!

that takes professional manuvering!!!!

on such a small runway...

[rockonmario]

this is Tegucigalpa,Las Honduras

[Roserade]

wtf short runway

[HPFreak4Life1708]

wow

[BlindShorty11]

this is 767 right?

[LOTPolskie767]

nope, 757

[sjneft]

this plane was landing sideways! i would pee on myself if i'd be on the board... i'm sorry...

[TheChickenPlucker]

Godd job!

[johncub61]

oh my good god aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

[FrostbiteUK]

Wow! Fantastic approach & landing. Kudos to the pilot of that one.

[PMDGpilot737]

what is this airport called

[burtonboy67]

heheh.dont forget about draggin the odd donkey before hittin down,...heheh

[billyguns2]

Is this Guam?

[mad434]

what a sight!

[captainjones92]

thats a regular approach pattern into toncontin airport in tegucigalpa

[docrw]

Have you flown into it? I've never flown into anything like this...

[SoManyNoTime]

Thats actually an amazing landing by a very skilled and professional pilot.

To the poster, the tags are all kinds of screwed up. Boeing and Airbus for the same aircraft?!? No.

This is a Boeing 757. Never to be confused with an airbus

[docrw]

tags are to help people find things of interest, Boeing, and Airbus are the same genre hence the tags.

[firesoftheempyrean]

I'm in awe of pilots who can do things like this.

[duckplane]

was it an emergency landing

[docrw]

I was wondering why they never smoothed out the hill side. It wouldn't be that hard and make a little safer approach.

[steveboston11]

Wow! that has got to look frightening from the cockpit. They must have to hope the main gear doesn't rip out the odd bush (or person) and carry it along.
