757-200 landing in Toncontin...

[tzup85]

well according to my 49 years of commercial flying this landing.......................­........to be continue

[YagoRj357]

I can see thousand of people making flight plan to this airport on Flight Simulator...

[plasticspastic201]

this busts the myth of the difficult landing. the famous video from the other side makes the approach look difficult. alas, this video shows the lack of skill required. so the idiots praising the glorified taxi drivers are doing so needlessly, it is no more difficult than a regular approach and landing.

[crumcon]

im pretty sure they dont send random pilot to fly there

[505stealth]

Well to begin with a 757 is not a large aircraft...its the same aircraft ( fuselage) as a 737...but with a big fat wing (for fuel storage),different nose....and too much engine for its purpose. A newer 737- 800 ER or its varients is the way to go.

[PhantomBadass]

@505stealth Actually your wrong, the fuselage of the 757-200 is 155 ft 3 inches long and the fuselage length for the 737-800 is 129 ft 6 inches, they are the same in width but they are NOT the same fuselage they are different, the 757-200 has larger wings not just for fuel but to produce more lift because the aircraft is heavier than the 737 becuase it is longer and has seating for up to 228 poeple + crew.

[dreyes78]

@PhantomBadass I don't think he meant to say it was EXACTLY the same fuselage(length and everything). He was just trying to show how the 757 is a narrowbody like the 737 because they DO share the SAME fuselage structure. Just, like you stated, the 757 has more length, and a different nose, tail, wings, etc...

[PhantomBadass]

@dreyes78 The fact that they are both narrowbody is where the similarities end they are two very different types of aircraft, that's the point of them, different aircraft for different roles.

[masterhidsert1043]

the airport got extended 100 mts. and renewed the runway.

[grove005]

this airport is pretty much like KAI TAK

[MonsterRage]

A-MA-ZING! I don't wanna be the pilot in this aircraft!

[dreyes78]

@MonsterRage A-MA-ZING! I DO!!

[dreyes78]

It really annoyed me how this author stole all my TGU videos from another aviation video website and posted them here on youtube back in 2006. I will be posting these videos here on youtube finally but at a higher resolution since I have the original Digital8 8mm tapes I used to film these.

[plasticspastic201]

@dreyes78 yeh yeh tell someone who gives a crap

[iltex74]

Damn ! ...Guess only ex-NAVY pilots do it right on the numbers !!!

[sacpilot]

cameraman, at 0:38 a voice tells you to "zoom in!" Why didn't you?

[gjdgjdgjd]

holy shaky camera batman !

[enigma800]

@gjdgjdgjd Yeah, she was the camera person for the Blair Witch Project.

[tzschyckynju]

I've been there once, the aircraft shakes a lot, it really scary.

[Ascend3r]

wow he only finally exits the turn at like 0:33 that's one hell of a tricky spot to land! Good pilots required for this one o0

[cod4thegame]

lolz to close man

[FLIGHTCOMPANY]

Its like the AA 757 is part of the road traffic

[mkutluoglu]

it's a nightmare..

[alberto211393]

tegucigalpa honduras, one of the shortest airports in the world sorrounded by mountains and with no free space between streeet and the landing area (as you can see) surprisely there have only been 3 mayor accidents in 10 years (in 1 of them an airplane of "taca"class C crashed in the street, but only the pilot died in the accident + a man who died some hrs after)

it is scarry to land there the first time, but it becomes normal after the 3rd time. I still clap everytime the airplane lands there

[AustraliaTwo]

Only 3 accidents in 10 years - that's not good. LOL - I bet you clap when you land.

[littlenickyscarfo]

what city is this in

[alberto211393]

tegucigalpa in honduras, (located in central america north-west of nicaragua)

[fernousdu972]

wow ! crazy airport !

[lisdoddestraat]

hmm.. with this airort i think the are no soft landing`s... the runway is to short for that XD greatings Dutchguy

[jtk49]

much respect for the pilots that land there!

[1053857]

Amazing

[KevinR3i]

For me this is the dangerous airport..

very hard to land there even i using the easy flight simulator from google earth..

wicked airport.

[CTina70]

This is by far the scariest airport I have ever visited. I thought the pilot was trying to stand the plane on it's nose, but no, he was just trying to stop the plane before we ran out of runway.

[astronoman11]

lol someone give that pilot a speeding ticket! He was in traffic!

[TheREALHIPNOTIC]

he sure was lolz

[jgonzalezj]

Que porquería de pista, un piloto debe ser muy muy experimentado para no estrellarse ahí

[HectorJW2007]

Alguien de Tegucigalpa que se vaya a grabar muchos aterrizajes en Toncontin con esos aviones grandes antes de que los trasladen al otro aeropuerto, quedan como 50 dias

[Bunchu]

apoyo lo que dice hector, estos videos son maravillosos :)

[elaviadorsv]

Con razon este gran accidente, la pista es bien corta. mi mas sentido pesame para los familiares de los fallecidos

[stxer]

camera is so wiggly - hold it still!

[Elvin1202]

I think that this airport its very dangerous to land because has little mountain before the runway, so is a little be hard to land there, thats my opinion I never been there, I'M from puerto rico.

[aloisiocoutinho]

too low terrain!!!!!!!!!!!

[polako2]

you are very correct!!

[cokebear1984]

jajajaj que cara maje mas feo que sos jajajajja si da pena el aeropuerto pero asi pasa lleno todos los dias heheheh cual es tu dolor??

[Playacjm5GamerTag]

[firstchino]

bueno y a vos culero que putas andas haciendo aqui,a tirar pulgas a otro lado,

[firstchino]

some people say this is one the most dangeros airport in the world to land?,is that true?

[qaligula]

it could be, i mean that's what it always been said, but intreresting fact though, only 3 or soo accidents since it open back in the 40's, one of them being minor just few weeks ago.

[firstchino]

[andym551]

[xxtalitha]

volar y bajar en un valle toma 30 minutos

Verlo aterrizar un en video incomparable. jajaja

[andreasilve]

NICE LANDING.

[ifdg2008]

ya vieron la aproximacion a cusco ... no es tan dificil pero no entra en ese aeropuerto mas que un a320... vean los videos.

[violinogirl]

Bueno... claro que ha pasado, no se puede evitar... aún así, mi papá que ha aterrizado muchas veces ahí sigue vivito y coleando.

[seba2050]

che... es un peligro este aeropuerto.... se van a hacer mierda una de estas-...

[pedrinhopavon]

come mucha mierda argentino de shit!!!! no has visto la mierda que tienen en buenos aires!!

[MarioMiguelRodriguez]

hey, q la cola del avion topa con algo o que, pero veo q se mueve un poco. No es por nada, pero preferiria aterrizan en San Pedro Sula que en Tegucigalpa!

[cuttingwoodnow]

What aircrafts are parked in outside the runway?

[edg19]

mae q peligroso, xq no hacen otro aeropuerto

[rmcdedms]

no es peligroso en este aeropuerto lleva casi un siglo ahi y no ha pasado nd..yo he attersiado casi 10 veces aki y no da nd d miedo. es bn interesante

[dalorenzana]

huyy que miedo,anda come merengue

[ChasenSFO]

I've gotta visit there one day. I'm surprised photos from there haven't really poured into the internet. I guess its not as disirible a destination as TNCM. ;)

[cjracer1000]

it is like the mix of kai tak and princess juliana intl

and crazy short rwy

[jreyesv07]

WTF...?

[zabag]

no, star this is way more dangerous than kai tak

[rmcdedms]

no kai tak it was more dangerous

[cjracer1000]

i have to argue they are both dangerous in their ways but i must say that totocon is more dangerous becsue the land is right with the glideslope

[mobius1aic]

Yup. I agree. Kai Tak was just kinda risky with a turn and all, but this one is insane, with the screwed up approach having to be so steep. According to a Wiki article, the runway is only 6000 ft long!

[cjracer1000]

wow thats crazy

[blancogomez]

viva honduras

[neper1982]

who needs saint maarten

[latinocaliente19]

u never see taca cuz taca laways land on el salvador's airport lol

[anz0912]

wow do they get alout of american and continentals flight thier...?but i never see taca ?

[jreyesv07]

ooohhh yeah... so dangerous! how come i've traveled thousands of times and landed in this airport and have a smile when i do so... cause it's not that dangerous huh? my planes always perfectly land on this "small" runway... i've never suffered an accident... shhhh.

[zabag]

Wow, that place (infrasctructurally speaking) is Africanesque!

[jreyesv07]

Whatever! you really think u guys rock and Africa sucks? then go Suck yourself... Honduras is way more better than your horrible country, cause your country might be rich economically, but culturally, I am so very proud to be Honduran!!! and to land in that airport, cause it roooocks!!!

[salvadoreanforever]

hay q tener huevos para estar dentro de ese plane.

[jreyesv07]

tenes razon, huevos como los mios.... o sea, no es para gays ni fags o maricones, sino para gente con panatlones! asi q en pocas palabras, no vengas aki, q nadie te ha invitado.

[melissamotino]

great video nice landing in one of the most dangerous airports in the world!!

[area703]

UHHH YEAAAAAA

[n0qlt]

Landing in Teguc is always such fun... Nice to see it from outside the passenger cabin.

[Aerolineas747]

i know thats what i thoght when I saw this

[juansuk]

the KAI TAK resurrection jeje

[Jerrycobra]

[toapanta777]

un aterrizaje unico en el mundo

[coolotisdog]

gotta love honduras

[kukovrein]

[ENZOYFLOR]

realmente este video me parece increible.... dada la proximidad del 757 con la carretera , gente, soy fan de los videos take off y landing.

[atinywindow]

scary! for a second i thought it was going to hit the traffic light!

[captaindk]

Nice shot
