Dramatic Landings and Take-offs through Cross-Winds at Leeds Bradford Airport - 22nd June, 2008

[shmily947]

super hot vid, I love it

[stuartmoss]

@shmily947 Thanks, you may be interested to know that 14 seconds of this footage featured on Channel 5 this week on a program called 'World's Scariest Landings'.

[Swissman81]

2:28 look in to my eyes baby!! 2:32 ouh yeah i love you darling :) thats a love story there!!

[loneaxolotl]

Is it always that windy there? Pretty scary crosswind L&T-Os. Great vid by the way. =)

[stuartmoss]

@loneaxolotl It's not always that windy - sometimes it's just VERY foggy! and Thanks : )

[zhiheng2005]

@stuartmoss Perfect Side-slip before touchdown!

[HamburgAirport]

Bradfort Airport is the home airport from Jet2 isnt it?

Nice City and windy airport :)

[stuartmoss]

@HamburgAirport Yes LEEDS Bradford Airport is the home of Jet2.

[jonny96]

AHHHH my old base, I do miss those x winds! 230/28g40kts became a normal day on Runway 32. Don't get wind like that in the middle east!

[XxxFrX8xxX]

luv it when it takes off, its like drifting ..<3

damn lol

[XxxFrX8xxX]

when i first saw the plane i thought it was " Thoma's Cock " i was like WTFo.o

[210482fmj]

this is the sort of flying where the real skill comes into play. for all those people who think flying is just a glorified bus driver this proves these people wrong

[stuartmoss]

@210482fmj Agreed, even more skill was required of pilots flying into LBA yesterday - boy was that windy!

[khalidmalikbadass]

@stuartmoss it was windy in manningham too i had a vindaloo

[kwilson4961]

@210482fmj yeah id like to see those people fly a 737

[210482fmj]

@kwilson4961 Its important to remember the 737 is just the model number.

[kwilson4961]

@210482fmj yes i know that, but for all people who dont know thts why i said that.

[M0JRA]

great video,sure is rough here when its windy

[THERC4LIFE4444]

good landing u could teach a monkey how to fly its only the written and remembering signals which is hard

[XCougar85X]

Some very nice flying. Thank you for the video.

[crossbike]

Respect to all these pilots

[Mrlucazu]

Espectacular Despegue 2:00

Nice Take Off 2:00

[dskxalive]

You standing in a grave yard?

[stuartmoss]

@dskxalive Yes!

[jebbadiah]

@stuartmoss you standing on my grave?

[maestro66uk]

@dskxalive Yes - it's the "dead centre" of Yeadon!

[Cabocodera1]

Excelente video me gusto mucho y ademas tiene el sonido original y eso le da mucho mas contenido al video. !!Felicitaciones!!

[shakeemgreaves]

Air controller:Ok guys this look like the perfect evemimg for out drifting contest

Pilot:sure y not

so what planes can drift

[phutch77]

I've not seen this much crabbing since the great Crabbing Festival of 1956

[litster73]

Nice film.

I have been in LBA quite a bit. It can be rough, especially with the could base being low. A 65mph xwind would be too much tough. The limit for most aircraft is 30 to 35kts(e.g. KLM Cityhopper fokker 70 and 100). Which would mean 40mph maximum.

[stuartmoss]

@litster73 Thanks, I was basing the wind speed on what it said on the weather forecast, but I agree with what you say.

[stuartmoss]

@litster73 Thanks, I'm hoping to film the sequel in about 4 months time!!!

[ShutTFup]

GREAT & AMAZING VID.

WOW.

Crosswind takeoffs, and not many of which you can find here on YouTube.

Good vid quality, and many planes.

Notice how low on speed the last planes lands due to strong wind sheer.

[mrsiborg]

Just don't forget to say "aye up" when you get to the desk :)

[seilriss]

der friedhof neben dem flughafen sagt alles

[stuartmoss]

@seilriss Haha zer gut

[hunterTS4]

Title should be: Puckered up Pilots

[daniel747boeng]

where is that airport

[stuartmoss]

@daniel747boeng Leeds, West Yorkshire, England - Google it.

[oksana160282]

ты шооо!!!! в конце полосы кладбище ну эт ваще!!!

[ski2exs]

3:40. . . BOS !! . . . Mine aren't that hardened, I'd of gone around for another try.

[Zackary747]

They dont stay straight for a reason. When they get close to the runway they staighten out.

[px002]

makes me wonder why that runway has a steep slope? and is not flat. woot im 279,999 viewer !

[burtonboy67]

excellent..

[SwazSXI]

The only time us Leeds lot need to pass in to neighbouring shithole bradford is when we are driving through it somewhere else. The most depressing city there is, Always find a different route if possible so not to be around such low life. Bradford scum.

[lap116]

it is hard landing/take of but i don't think dramatic tough it is a nice vid

[ac7725]

Thumbs up to this pilots.

[Ms11565]

seems that what these pilots are doing is what fighter pilots did as a evasive maneuver in World War II. They called it a skid. The technique was either right rudder left aileron or left rudder right aileron. that made the plane go sideways. i remember being on a plane who did like these was an Eastern Airlines Constellation. The pilot was a friend of my parents. He flew a P-51D in the war, and that's where i remember about a skid.

[liewchengyeh]

it lloks like they are flying sideways....damn that's dangerous

[aizad3755]

Good landings! Seems like it was gusting close to 30 knots.

[flchange]

4:18 Ugly paintjob eeww..

[juanrendon8415]

hooo my god



[robertmintmusic]

I actually thought this was being filmed from the left side of the track... Then I saw the track :-)

[bridlingtonengland75]

That's not a bad landing at all in the cross wind.

[GRANDCENTRAL43067]

Well Done Jet2 Pilots

[hatcher14100]

Wow cool video, but it must have been scary for the passengers as they could see the runway lol :)

[mpzflightvideo]

Great vid - love it...

[brownbrador45]

re leeds v bradford blah blah you wantv to try certain parts of glasgow for comparison . buggerr wrong with yorkshire anyroad

[michelvhons]

great pilot!!!!

[jonny2k100]

Good to have a British Video. Normally it's Americans repeating the photos over hoping we won't notice. Then to top it off they have crappy music or you can't hear it because of them going "Wow look at that". Great Video By the way.

[deekie13]

Great Video!!!

[jezom5]

where's this dramatic landings ?

[davlber221]

All in all some pretty darn good pilots!

[ianmansfieldtv]

i went to thomascook(dot)com haha, its just a european travel sight.

[Shortyguy94]

planes with so many names i've never seen in my life....

[sa227fly]

I was thinking, "shit, that's nothing in a Metro." Second clip...a Metro. Ha.

[alienorz]

after TO a little insight of the surroundings is kinda scary ! THE GRAVEYARD ...

[hitsugaya9042]

where's the drama?

[ultimatezero12345]

The runway looks like a down slope

[swedshebeh]

what the fuck is problem with a pilot

[omarkole]

19 people were on those planes

[Fritzoune]

Nice vid and landing, but nothing dramatic.

[sternumagnum]

@Fritzoune 05:29 ?

[Mickolboy1]

Just packed my sarnies & flask, where's the nearest train station?

[stuartmoss]

@Mickolboy1 Sorry, only just saw this, the nearest station is Horsforth, it's around a £7 taxi ride from there to Yeadon Cemetery, I use Arrow Taxis 0113 2585888.

[CaptFlying]

Who lands at 6:15 is a real professionist!

[samborlon]

What's so dramatic about them?

[lrjt60]

Kudos to all those pilots - GREAT JOB !!!

[stuartmoss]

@chupaisto1 Yes!

[alienorz]

@stuartmoss

lol

[ReDDrg]

Really nice vid.

[nyxfirefly]

Hmm might not be smart to play a game of chicken with any of those pilots....

[irelandbloke]

Great pilots !

[shanondor]

hats off to them

[woodymmbbrr]

It can get windy up there, especially in a CTSW ;)

[Griffonlz]

I said WTF at 6:00 ^^

[200beats]

you should see Belfast City ;)

[robertjdm]

And this is why pilots get the big bucks! Great video!

[IBE0731Jhonny]

What plane is after Thomas Cook???

[Richard8485]

i like going to leeds bradford airport, you can get so close to the runway.....

[spicymchaggis666]

It's headed right for us! Oh wait, no it's not. WOW!

[thelopespilot]

jesus at pilot pulling Gs at min 1:55?

[mrmups]

A video testament to the skill of great pilots!

[marshalllucky]

how come these plain do not avoide these wind, the pilote they should fly around these hurrcanes

[daveslow84]

@marshalllucky

lol... leeds international is in northern england...the uk´s a windy place ;)

[marshalllucky]

@daveslow84 I heve beene to leeds in 1976 we did go to study the transpot river that run all the way to liver pool it was like a canal i think.

[walkingnick]

Is that the ice cream van I can hear ticking over in the background??

[stuartmoss]

@walkingnick Ha ha yes it certainly is the ice cream van.

[julesa001]

@walkingnick yea matea es lo mas beri gud y bery nice desdee la plataforma de guindous no via visto algo aci

[jonny2k100]

@walkingnick . yeh probably a nackered ford transit.

[BLuELiiZzArD]

These planes fly over my school every day my school is real close to leeds bradfrod airport ;)

[dumpty91]

OOOOhhhh, can I have another sick bag, please? ;0)

[appleglory]

wonder how the people in the back felt when the capt or first officer kicked in the right rudder

[saintozz]

Wonder how the people in rows 13-18 felt coming in on the center line? lol

[LovITSWE]

Is that a new sport...

Drifting with planes ,-d

[solarisautobusy]

It is little bit hard for smaller planes

[747johnz]

GREAT VID MAN

[stuartmoss]

@747johnz Thank you : )

[ultimatezero12345]

strange, the runway look very short.

[Mr7165]

5:27 lol ein Flughafen mit Blick in die Zukunft

[ultimatezero12345]

noticed rainbow at 1:36?

[papaalfadsd]

Great pilots and great job every crew.

[sashman3988]

the bombardier take off was the scariest

[sid77777]

i ignored the advert

[stuartmoss]

@willbaguley9000 At the time this was a Canon Legria that is no longer available, the zoom was digital to x125 magnification. I'm now using a newer model Canon Legria with a x200 zoom and it's even better. I'd recommend Canon camcorders, they seem to be consistently good quality.

[ridingTheRail]

5:25 omg a burial ground right next the runway???^^

[Freakman33333]

65 mph!! Thats really a lot!

[stuartmoss]

@mrfledi777 This is Leeds Bradford Airport.

[expoboy52]

Thomas Cook.com and Yorkshire Jet 2? Are these charter carriers? I've never heard of them.

[stuartmoss]

@expoboy52 Thomas Cook is a tour operator who own their own jets, and Jet2 are a budget regional airline, based in Leeds, hence the 'Yorkshire' on the plane. Have a read about them on Wikipedia.

[youngfart40]

@expoboy52 yup

[sam04019491]

@expoboy52 Do people not realise they're on the internet? You have a worold of information at your fingertips. It takes seconds to look something like this up.

[DamonsSon]

2.13 I would agree !!!

[wilki31]

I know lets develop this airport, one of the highest in England with the main runway at almost 90 degrees to the prevailing wind, just the other side of Otley Chevin to cause maximum wind shear on the approach! Oh yes, there's also a cemetary at one end in case it all goes pear shaped!

Great entertainment for the punters on a windy day!

[guzguz21]

Great, next time take a tripod ;)

[Tviki007]

Soo fu@k$*g craaazyy!!!

[Pvjinflight]

Amazing vid!

[SpeedinHawk]

i almost did something interesting in my pants wen i saw this O.O

[HamburgAirport]

Is this normal in Bradford!?

[stuartmoss]

@HamburgAirport It isn't very common, by the way the airport is in Leeds.

[davymgaunt]

@HamburgAirport The airport is in a Leeds suburb. The only reason that the word "Bradford" is in the title is because we feel sorry for our poor, disgusting, depressing neighbouring city. Don't ever go....it's horrible.

[nahim55]

@davymgaunt leeds is a shithole as well.

[davymgaunt]

@nahim55 No disrespect Nahim, but the drive into Bradford city centre from any angle is one of the most soul destroying journeys ever. Cos on arrival....there's NOTHING....that wasteland where the shopping centre should be is so depressing! Bradford city centre is just a collection of boarded up shops and thrift stores. Us Leeds folk really have no need EVER to visit Bradford...it's as if it doesn't exist! Leeds has life, vitality, wealth and SHOPS! Bradford is the UK's answer to Detroit!

[nahim55]

@davymgaunt dont know about bradford but apart from leeds

city centre the rest of the city is full of red bricked council looking houses and industrial estates

my mates lived their so iv seen the place its nothing to brag about.

[davymgaunt]

@nahim55 You obviously haven't visited Leeds! Which rat infested shithole do you live in so I can make a comparison?

[couniamanmanw]

@HamburgAirport it's the windyest airport in the world or what , I don't whish to be a passenger on this kind of day. Look, ever after landing planes don't go straight daaaamn !!!! Sorry for mistakes I'm french

[algeriasky78]

amazing video thank you!

[TurkHavaYollari1]

Nice landing"s

[blink182315792]

wind shear !!!!!

[1malshanp]

there's a rainbow,there filming it from a grave yard

[1malshanp]

there's a rainbow

[yorky1979]

not sure if the last jet2 plane was the one from paphos cos i was on it, and it was one hell of a ride, still got the wife's finger marks on my arm 2 years on! :-)

[s3fredo]

Shitty Airport for pilots !

[sxmadrid]

Welcome to (the bleakest spot in) England. Local weather is shite. Is LB runway like a big dipper?

[sasumiki]

oooh shit xD

but ur vid is great!

[sasumiki]

oooh shit xD

[greengoblin200]

holy shit.. that dash 8!!! :O...

[mmalhcs]

Nothing like being in the cat-bird's seat for a very well produced video!

Excellent documentation of some fine flying skills in far from ideal conditions

[stuartmoss]

@mmalhcs Thanks mate!

[beatchildproductions]

must be a trip for the passengers to able to SEE the runway on final!

[ponkor]

Why did they build an airport on top of the moors??? I`ve flown from here several times and its always been terrifying

[wannabgud]

i so should not be watching this i fly in like 2 weeks lol

[TheElephant79]

Great Job Buddy !

[PhantomMark]

Good shootin tex :)

[SeanBreen]

Brillo !

[civilairpatrol24]

i want to see a boeing 747 do this hahaha

[MyEmpire91]

wow nice video!

[stuartmoss]

@MyEmpire91 Cheers!

[Funfisique]

Thomas Cook´s Airbus A320:

9 points.

Air Southwest Bombardier Dash 8:

10 points.

Jet-2 Boeing 737:

7 points.

Givememore!

; )

[JACK195647]

them take offs made my stomach turn just looking at them, i would be shtting it if i was on the plane itself

[legovogel1]

what happends as a plane crashes then it begins to be a graveyard

[sartozzi78]

Wow!! what a wind. I love also the english weather, beautiful colors, beautiful air to breathe...

[saipann]

this video is in my favorites thx great video

[pilotdynan]

6.08 that is a perfect crosswind landing

[miamad]

If it ain't Boeing, I'm not going.

[wottie110]

@miamad How short sighted and pathetic. Concorde was not built by Boeing. Bet you would have gone on that......

[Snowbirds123]

You're lucky to have noticed takeoffs in this type of wind which is quite rare in crosswinds...

[Aviationnation10]

is that jet magic at 2:14

[oreo10111]

im a commercial pilot of 24 years and at 27 seconds was a partial landing fail and the second plane the metroliner barley slipped ( airplane talk for having the nose turned to the direction of the wind)

[whisperingdeath308]

Is that graveyard next to the runway? Talk about fast service if you crash!

[CurlyBlakey]

i've seen mountainsides less steep than that runway

[maestrojeremy]

That Dash-8 landing was scary. Well done, but still scary.

[abhiginimav]

what plane is that Jet2 one? i should be good at this but i cant put my finger on it...from the ground, it appears that the engines are a bit triangular like a 73, but when it gets in the air, it looks too chunky?

[stuartmoss]

@abhiginimav It's a 737

[tonightwefly]

@abhiginimav  its a 73-500, check out the landing gear, the 737 only has 2 tires per set of landing gear where as the 757 has 4

[abhiginimav]

@tonightwefly ah ok thanks. i think the image was just stretched on my screen lol

[danbroad9]

@abhiginimav 737 300

[flightfred]

@abhiginimav I work for Jet2 it s a 737-300 series

[Agent007202]

how long is that runway?
