Superb video quality, excellent sound - very impressive! Hoping to return to Las Vegas in May 2011, and of course I fly Continental, just like you did; I just wish we didn't always land on runway 25R (coming from Houston).

@ChrisK529 usually it's a 25L landing, but I know what you mean. I actually just got back from Vegas a few days ago!

[ArmyRescue2]

what camera did you use?

[Alddahh]

@TonyMcGriffles if they dont bounce around they'll probably break

[brownbrownson]

at first i thought you used an iPhone 4 to record this. great quality!

[PilotUTA]

@brownbrownson Im with Verizon so Im hoping the iphone comes to us soon! Does it have a good video camera built it?

[PilotUTA]

@TonyMcGriffles yes sir. I mean imagine a plane landing with wings that were completely stiff (it wouldn't be able to get off the ground int eh first place but we're being hypothetical here) and it comes in to land, at touch down the wing would snap in half. It is because a wing can flex that it can function. I just watched a great example of an Air France 747's wing flexing during turbulence.

[PilotUTA]

@TonyMcGriffles Search on youtube "Boeing 777 Wing flex" For great examples of a wing flexing.

[PilotUTA]

@TonyMcGriffles I encourage you to search on youtube "Boeing, wing flex test". When I did this, a great example was of the B787 being tested at to its extreme. Wings must flex in order to produce and maintain lift.

[PilotUTA]

@TonyMcGriffles *wing It is because the wing is "floping around that it does not snap. imagine if it were completely stiff, even the smallest bit of turbulenbce would destroy the wing. An aricraft wing functions just like a bird's. When a bird is takes flight the wings are at their most flexed position. When an aircraft takes off the enormous amounts of lift that are produced cause the wing to flex. Some of the best examples of this can be seen on youtube.

@TonyMcGriffles Through out taxiing, takeoff, landing, turbulence and cruise altitudes, an aircraft can be put under a variety of conditions. One of the easiest ways to see the importance of a wing's flexibilty is during taxi at an airport. whenever we go over a change in pavement, or a crack of some sort, the aricraft bounces if you will, much as a car would going over a similar condition. Imagine if the wing did not have any give (flexibility), the ing would crack at even the smallest
