[chikaidze]

[stonecoldpes6]

[Thesnowdead1]

A380 VS B737. its logic, no?

[cjant101]

[yoDog421]

@cjant101 funny

[AddytheEagle]

it nearly blew the other plane away

[90agustb]

wind 35-40 knots

[CraHeX]

This sounds like Frysk, the Second official language of Holland. The pronucation is almost the same, but i know it's icelandic.

[PaulMcCue]

[pezkall]

@Box0rz iceland has the largest airport in europe :)

[Box0rz]

@pezkall well... I guess they have lot's of space there.

[pezkall]

@Box0rz ye thats true, actually its the Longest airport not the largest

[Box0rz]

hell monstrum

[annazt11]

helvete!

[jonathan89765]

the tires on those planes can only take a few take offs and landings then they need to be replaced. It is a considerable amount of weight and force that is applied each landing. That plane looks a little too big for my liking.

[SDFlight]

Sorry that is wrong, the weight per wheel is 10% less than that of the boeing 747.

[Golvklut]

Aaaaagh! It is not anyone in the world I love more than the pilotes of my plane when we have landed safely.. Good that icelandic pilotes are known as very skilled!

[catobear1704]

Yikes.

[ace00007]

no the airplane is really going sideways.. They keep the airplane in a crab where he nose of the airplane flies in to the wind and the flight path follows the runway. Right before touch down they crank in rudder and aileron correction to line the wheels up with the runway. It takes good timing but is quite common. Still cool to see such a monster plane doing it.

[jimmym1a1]

Man, that's a camera trick, watch the landscape, the camera is panning to make it look like ther airplane is moving horzontally

[jackstem]

These pilots are unbelievable!!

[buggable]

Must be very hard on the landing gear and the tires! Around 600 tonnes coming down sideways... truely amazing
