[mrsgriffind]

This video is instantly awesome because it takes place on a Southwest Airplane =).  I luv Southwest!

OMG what a great video!!!! Which direction did you land?? This was crazy! just when I thought you were lined up to land, you make yet another turn! zig zagging like crazy! Bumpy too!!!

Excellent work. I have been to Denver on several ocassions through my life and can tel you some horror stories about landings and takeoffs in weather conditions, the last of which was a snowstorm on Dec 30, 2010. That was quite an experience on the takeoff.

cool video! but, arent you not supposed to have like.. electric devices on while landing? o_o

[SenorSpode]

@FloridaSeverWeather Actually, Southwest is an electronics-tolerant airline. Etiquette dictates that you ask an attendant or pilot for permission first. They will ask if your device sends or receives signals; be honest, tell them yes or no accordingly and they will usually give you permission. United is a camera-hostile airline; don't even bother asking them, their policy is no filming at any time aboard the plane. Even the United pilots don't like that policy.

@SenorSpode oh that's cool to know :) thanks.

Wow!

What seat number?

[tanmyman777]

@fsx767 Sorry I do not remember, there is no way I could find out because this is southwest and they have you choose your seats, no assigned seat. I rode on a delta 737 yesterday and the view like this was right behind first class so my guess is about row 8-14 range?

[tanmyman777]

@XES101watchclub which part are you referring to?

[ryanfromsaneli]

@2;48, looks like those were mammatus (Mammatocumulus)

[congaleader2000]

I know it's hard to tell by watching the video but was it really bumpy while you were flying underneath the storm?

[tanmyman777]

@congaleader2000 It was kind of bumpy but when we were coming in further into the approach, the closer we got to the ground, I bet there were gusts so the plane would constantly lose lots of lift, kind of that feeling you get going down a rollercoaster. It was a cool landing though.
