PARALLEL LANDING VIRGIN AMERICA & SOUTHWEST AIRLINES @ SFO

[RANDOMNESS873]

737 WINS

[flightfreak1000]

steady steady

[abdhoms]

Passengers must be really excited.

[spin1197]

@abdhoms Passengers...haha...the pilots were probably like WHOA this is cool...and having to focus on landing and not looking out the window...

[fuzzboi77]

I look at it this way: who can hide their ugliness better? *I'm referring the the gear doors that the 737 is lacking.

[daltons48]

Whatever the looks you big headed Americans ranted about what an amazing pilot Sully was after landing his airbus on the Hudson but glossed over what aircraft he was piloting!!

[CTFlyer7]

@daltons48 Don't assume that it's the Americans who love Boeings and Europeans who love Airbus. Quite the opposite in this case. America still makes cars that are 10 years behind the rest of the world but they sure can build an aeroplane.

[CTFlyer7]

People say airliners all look the same but side-by-side can you truly appreciate how ugly the Airbus is compared to the Boeing.

[IFlyShamu]

The 737 pays better.

[daltons48]

You can see that the Boeing lands at a much shallower angle as the landing gear is too short or the plane too long! It's am obsolete design from the 60s why do airlines buy it when they can have the safe modern airbus!,,

[AaronShenghao]

@daltons48

Not true, thus the 737 can preform short takeoff/ overloaded takeoff on shorter runways which A321 will get a tailstrike on the runway damage the plane. Plus 737 can use older boarding stairs which designed for prop airliners, A 321 is too tall for some of those boarding stairs.

[AaronShenghao]

@AaronShenghao

And shallower angle (less angle of attack) is safer during approatch and safer easier to derotate, make short runway landing easier and more room for error during bad weather. Airbus can do shallow angle landing too.

[nitbot]

@AaronShenghao The a321 is a bit bigger than most 737s tho. Its more in the same class as the 757 than the 737

[CTFlyer7]

@nitbot What?! No. The A321 can carry a maximum of 220 passengers in cram-as-many-people-as-possibl­e-in mode. The 737-900 carries 215. The 757 takes 234 but it takes them much further on a bigger aeroplane with higher takeoff weight and fuel than the 737/A320 family.

So the A321 is perhaps a tiny bit bigger than the 737-900. Obviously it's bigger than "most 737s" but then the 737-900 is bigger than "most A32Xs" too.

Saying the A321 is closer to the 757 than 737 is completely not true!

[hiimbrady]

@daltons48 Nothing you have written here is based on fact. It's actually kind of amazing.

[CTFlyer7]

@daltons48 Wtf? lol

[CTFlyer7]

@daltons48 Ok if I'd read this one I wouldn't have replied to your other one cos you clearly don't know anything about aeroplanes. At all. This particular comment of yours is almost embarassing to read.

[1angrycaptain]

A320... Clear Winner! Add Virgin = Absolute Winner!

[nitbot]

Awesome vid. The A320 kinda looks like a dildo tho

[aceridgey]

fantastic shot!!! They both have the same landing characteristics! Slight float for both

[jwbryaniv]

@aceridgey Actually the Airbus has demonstrated its floating ability...

[signmanbob2]

I'm partial to the 737, but they are both great looking aircraft.

[Merdenoms64]

go A320 !!

[RH772]

Great vid! Nice catch on the Boeing vs. Airbus action -- simultaneously!

[thefreedieyoung]

WOW!!!! Awsome take!!! Thanks!!

[larrybueno]

2 guys loves russian airplanes!

[MrCSClark]

If it's not a Boeing, we're NOT GOING!!!!



[syoung09g]

If it ain't Boeing it ain't going

[pipidores]

ahhhh... my 2 favourite airlines landing at the sameprecious time... ahh

[BosleyBeats]

That is pretty damn cool. Thanks for sharing this; stirred up old memories of watching trainer jets in dual formation, many summers ago.

[klipo25]

Pilots: I'll get the smoothest landing!

[mchlodonnell]

I dont know what everybody's so damn particular about im going to be a flight attendant and i dont really care what type of carrier im flying on airbus or boeing if it flys im happy

[CarlosXDFly98]

BOEING VS AIRBUS

[MrAman707]

AIRBUS AIRBUS AIRBUS AIRBUS AIRBUS!!

[avatarchris11]

I don't see why people think that Airbus is better than Boeing or Boeing is better than Airbus. I honestly think that they're both beautiful birds.

[TedMichaelMorgan]

@avatarchris11 I think so and each with virtues.

[CTFlyer7]

@avatarchris11 "Good" and "Beautiful" airplanes have absolutely nothing to do with each other! I think the jury is out on which one is the better aircraft, and will be for another 20 years. But I really can't see how anyone can call the A320 prettier than the 737. Not unless you have eyesight issues! The A320 is a remarkable piece of engineering and development, and a super efficient machine that deserves a lot of respect. It is also truly ugly.

[soybato]

i know that in the control tower love to play betting

[soybato]

Beautiful race!!

[wizzair1313]

airline wise...Virgin America is WAAAAYY better.

[MushroomMan57]

Whoa......

[JetPackJan]

Go Airbus go Airbus! :P



[MrKyvegas00]

Virgin America or Southwest?

[svscared]

Great Video! Very well done!

[sfgiantsPOSEY28]

[ohmyhushpups]

That's actually quite beautiful.

[loneaxolotl]

GO 737! ugly a320 - loser!

[kyCap222]

[utubeguy35]

Yay! Southwest Airlines rules.

[SlashTruck]

the one who touchesdown the airplane is the winner ...boeing 737 is the winner :D
