LOL @ another day dsa and another jumbo!!!

like its something you see every few minutes!!

you will be pleased when the link road is built, then you might see a few more aircraft, if not, you will be heading the same way as Duram tees valley ...

[houshidar558]

wow he almost scraped the pod very nice job and reaction with those yoke sticks :)

[airbusisawesome]

The pilot got a text from his girlfriend saying that they'd broken up just as he landed. No wonder he was trying to crash the plane.

[tim60s321]

a normal smooth landing

[12Jetdiver55]

Almost...... they almost got a pod on that one......

[luvstightjeans]

"Man, we need to slow down, deploy the 'engines hit the ground' "

[lufthansa330pilot]

holy crap what happened !? flat tire?

[charlieiscool1000]

it was so damn windy that the plane slide side ways and up again even after touchdown

[carrie1223]

my father used to fly for Connie after he retired from Pan Am. I guess he needed some excitement in his life. living on the edge in aircraft that saw maintenance, uh, NEVER.

[jordyat14]

all i can say is that he recovered from the unexpected and also from the strong crosswinds.

[Andres3031]

este avion antes era de avianca colombia!!!

[an147]

0:40 The engines almost touch the runway. Wow!

[woodshuck]

look at 0:38 , tire popped

[fasterthanyou2]

mind the engine!

[RUBBERMOOG]

I wouldnt get in a Kalitta 747 even if you gave me a thousand dollars. Looks like deathtrap.

[hadabenz]

Kalitta is a cargo company, and this 200 series they are operating is carrying freights. you will never get a chance to take a ride in it.

[xterrasesc]

yah no kidding! A boeing 747-100 is scary old. Image how weak and fatigued the airframe would be.

[TonyFirelli]

@RUBBERMOOG I would fly in a kallita 747 even if i paid! the only reason would be cause there arent many classic 747's flying anymore

[RUBBERMOOG]

@TonyFirelli I wish I could do that, I'm petrified of flying, yet I love aircraft. Weird I know. Its nice to see Kalita and other cargos flying the first wave of 747. I dare say that this is even less now since this footage was shot. Great stuff though!

[10pinbowling]

Nothing wrong with the landing..i would blame cross-winds for lifting the wing and then dropping it......

[Maverick747uk]

i spoke to the pilot a week after this, his report

showed a blown tyre on the near side, he did an amazing job

[caonoak]

looks like the left engine almost hit the runway , why was the plane learching to left side after landing it came in very smoothly before touch down

[shaquo890]

i think that the cause of that was both wind and pilot error..he lowered the nose instantly after landing,he was going too fast so the plane didnt have stability

[shaquo890]

holly SHIT! a couple more feet down and those wings would have cause a crash!

[fernousdu972]

impressive video !!!

[princeathrun9]

just few more and other crash happend happend and catch on camera

[Manu2455]

What happend to the plane in the 0:41 Second?.

[DYLAV8R]

lol. its on my birthday

Today a boeing 747 of Kalitta crashed at Brussels national Airport here in belgium (the boeing split in 2 parts).... I think there are some clips of it on youtube.

[WoWBadBunnyWoW]

I know, a 1980 Model. Kalitta have some 1970 ones though, I hope they keep them

[starmonarA380]

Jesus Christ! When it first touched down I thought 'well that wasn't so exciting, what was all the fuss about', then it leant right over and I was like S**T! Great filming, very smooth considering the wind. Thanks for sharing, Tom Hughes from MAN : )

[SpeedbirdDSA]

Thanks Tom, appreciate the comments - love your work at FL350 :).

[cjracer1000]

man

that thing was rolling side 2 side way after td

[moonboots69]

i saw this too.. from Potteric Carr nature reserve, as it left Doncaster in the afternoon. Managed to get reasonable photos of it from there with my long lens camera.

[hissinsid1]

Excellent footage, No1 & 2 engine nearly on the ground!! Windy as a very windy thing. Superb American 747-200 action at RHDSA!

[aReyoUIn86]

very strong wind

[miar2006]

excellent SpeedbirdDSA, mist it @ work again, just saw it as i was leaving work @ 2.00pm (Ikea) came over us.
