Landing Convair 580 Gets Caught Up In Departing 747's Thrust

The controller would have been remiss if he didn't call "caution wake turbulence". Just guessing but wake turbulence would have caused roll problems, not yaw issues. But again, I can't say. Great video

Doubtful that was wake turbulence because the Convair touched down way before the 747's rotation point....maybe just a gusty day.

That's not the 747's thrust that caused the Convair to act like that. It's the wake turbulence.

Loving these videos!

Wow! Looks like an old Evergreen pax configured 747. I'm guessing it could have been on an AMC rotator, back in the day: KSTL-KLAX-PANC-RKTY-RODN. BTW, those Convairs are tanks.

Very nice, I hear a Tristar 1/100 in the background applying power at the 1.09 mark and at near the end applying full power for takeoff. Nice!

Thanks for all the good airplane videos. I am watching even if I don't comment on all the videos.
