Namibia, Windhoek airport

[austrian19421]

its definetely an a340... the shadow looks weird bc the sun comes from behind so the winglet lets the wing look like a tail from a 707, but at touchdown you can also notice the 2(!) bumps, first 2 wheels touching down at 00:31 and the other 2 at 00:34 and the nose at 00:43

zing!

Most airlines will let you use camcorders and digital cameras during landing since they have no radio transmitters and are low power devices

I HAVE POSTED QUITE A FEW PHOTOS/CLIPS ON WEBSHOTS. YOU CAN VIEW THEM IF YOU DO A SEARCH ON "coopec100"

It's even better in the rain. You can almost see the baboons on the side of the runway running between the drops.

This bought back memories of my stay about 18 months ago. The airport is miles and miles from Windhoek - 40 minute drive? My happiest memories are of the beautiful animals at Etosha Pan and countryside through to Windhoek. However I was not impressed with the number of AK47s, barbed wire, high fences and rottweiler dogs in South Africa (Johannesburg) and Namibia. Windhoek is a charming "Western" style city. I have posted a number of film clips showing people going about their everyday lives.

My god! The beautiful landscape of Namibia while landing at Windhoek makes it look like as if we're landing in the middle of nowhere!

FFS you are supposed to switch of electronic devices during landing!!!! Yes, a digital camera is an electronic device! I hope you will never have an accident...

[fluglehrer]

was a super 8 cam, of course, remember, the old ones, no harm done to any electrocnics; so no need to worry.

[spubb]

Don't try to fool me, Super 8 cassettes with audio track are more difficult to find than the blue mauritius stamp.

[fluglehrer]

ain't fooling you !

Why does the wing shape look like it's landing backwards, that can't be an A340...

I lived in Namibia 4 years and I still remember the day I landed in this place, I thought woao this is dry... It ended up the best 4 years of my life. What an amazing place, people, culture everything Namibia has to offer. For me is like my second home I cant wait to go back again. I miss you Namibia

[serbianarmy07]

Well at least you can say it has the 9th longest runway in the world at 4,673 M.
