My flight from Los Angeles Int'l to Houston: Bush Int'l on a Continental Boeing 757-300.

I was surprised they offered free meals and drinks! Way to go! Thanks for not charging "extra" for that!!

The captain (or FO) touched-down at about 3,300ft from the runway threshold and used some heavy wheel braking (you can sorta hear me moan a bit) as I tried to keep my camera steady. Runway length is about 9,900ft, which means touch-down at 1/3 into the runway!

My chosen seat was the window, but I offered it to the little girl who sat in the middle and couldn't see the window or the TV. That is why my video is a bit broken with some unstable camera angles.

This video is dedicated to my fellow passanger, 7-yo girl named "Madie" who had to sit by me by herself while her parents sat in a different row. She was well behaved and polite! May God watch over you for the rest of your life!

  • lol, the things that came out of the back of wings, are flaps, and they cause the plane to slow down, b/c of drag, the pitching is done by the elevators, which are located on the tail.

  • Try explaining that to a child and not an adult like me...

  • lol, I have my little brother, and he is 4.

  • Family is one thing, I bet you even wrestle the little man! Try a stranger who happens to be 7...

  • this girl that sat next to u sounds cute!! and in the end she was like "and in school, im learning soccer" lol cool !!

  • The sad part was the end. She was well aware she will most likely never see her again.

    She was very talkative! Told me about her grandmother's farm, about her vacation in LA with visits to Disneyland and Universal Studios, her Halloween costume, friends at school, and showed me her Prince Aladin and Princess Jasmine dolls she got. Very adorable!

see all
