Austrian Airlines MD81-Landing in Rhodes, Greece (1997)

[Mollylein2009]

Ich war im Oktober 1997 auf Rhodos und begeistert.

Am letzten Tag , es war wohl der 23.10.1997 , regnete es in Strömen . so etwas habe ich noch nie zuvor erlebt.

Trotzdem war es herrlich-n ie vergesse ich die lauen Nächte - Grillengezirpe..einfach romantisch..dieses Video erinnert mich an die Ankunft.

Vielleicht komme ich irgendwann einmal wieder auf diese Sonneninsel.

People used to clap all the time upon landing in the United States.  I haven't heard it in ten years though. I think it's too bad, it is a nice gesture to the flight crew, especially if they did a good job.

I was there last year with this cool 180 deg left turn on approach on Boeing 757. Rhodes is a wonderful island but I prefer KOS. KOS is my beautiful Greek Island Forever !!!

[filipsebo]

in austria it's a normal thing that you are clapping on a landing.

a sign of respect ;)

[frecciarossa91]

before 2002, also in italy was a normal thing..now no..

[dekreins]

Ich war dort vor zwei Wochen... wirklich eine schöne Insel. Super Film. Interessante Sicht beim Anflug!

[acdcguyforever]

War dort im Jahr 2005...sehr schöner Urlaub gewesen, jederzeit wieder!

[orcaneopren]

ich war 2004 dort, und bin dort verrückt geworden :-(

[Giftschrank]

Warum?

[orcaneopren]

psychisch gekippt, warum weiß keiner. war ja ein schöner urlaub dort. aber eine psychose sucht sich halt den zeitpunkt nicht aus...

[manthegreek]

hey everybody...nice landing but for me its very usual because i study here in rhodes and i see this airport very often :)

its very nice island but for me crete island is the best!

[pjk777]

This brings back memories of my first flight, i was 10 and flew gatwick to rhodes. Btw, i don't understand clapping on landing either. Maybe its cos i'm a brit, i've noticed its common in other countries - portugal, spain, italy etc

[AB5309]

the only time i clap on landing is when i am getting away from this country for 2 weeks.

[fs9dude]

its normally after a bad flight the people clap cuz their alive

[Huguinhuw]

LMAO

[mani1234567898520]

no it means that he did a good landing

[fs9dude]

i guess but ppl always clap after shit landings 2

[ShadowsWithinDarknes]

clapping is very common in the uk as well now. I guess its a way of thanking and congratulating the pilots for a good flight and good landing.

[MrWestmc]

@ShadowsWithinDarknes

clapping is worth do you clap for a taxi driver when he bring you to the train station??? this is the fucking job of the pilot to fly us

[ShadowsWithinDarknes]

@MrWestmc

well no cus thats more simple pilots have to train for years to do there job as for a taxi driver anyone can do that.

[sam068623875]

clapping on a landing is a common way of showing respect to the pilot for bringing you down safely. I'm a pilot so i know :)

[samson0190]

once somebody told his point of view concerning the clapping: "It's the pilot's job to bring you down, so you if you clap if you're down again, you also would have to clap if you go by bus and the driver stops at the bus-stop without an accident^^

[Vogelgucker]

Hehe, den Busfahrerspruch kenn ich doch wo...

[tinkandtory]

@sam068623875 Why do people on you tube think we lie about being pilots?

[traunstein9]

i also were in rhodes but in 2006

[kagethetraveller]

i where also there ´97 and now ten years later

[d1kobraz]

Mmmmm, Rhodes, I can't wait to get back there...

[szilvunci]

It's ok. It was a perfect video of landing in Rhodes.

I Love Rhodes!

[CardCaptorSandy10]

Yehuu

[jboond]

well personally i claped once because we had a 19 hour delay at rhodes the second time i went and we had to land in venice and when u land bak at manchester its such a relife

lol:)

[keano6661]

i have jst come back from rhodes

[hoofhearted16]

clapping is nice,it can say good or thanks or even nice landing

[kosovar4life]

nicely put into words i agree 100%

[mikek74]

very good!!! Rhodes for ever!!!

[5telios]

nice flap / spoiler action - good vid!

[AlexKid8]

What always bugs me though is why on earth do people clap after landing? The weather looked wonderful, visibility was good, winds were calm. Sometimes I wonder if people have any faith in pilots at all.

[paccilkasoona]

What's wrong with saying thanks?

[lipmc]
