Southwest Airlines - Landing at Burbank

Southwest Airlines Flight 2484, originating from Sacramento International (KSMF), lands at the convenient garbage heap known as Burbank (KBUR). Relatively clear skies and, miraculously, not much smog to speak of.

The landing was interesting - pilot overshot the TDZ markings (not at all unusual) and finally just plopped the plane onto the runway on all gears, so it was quite bumpy.

Filmed in March of 2008.

You've obviously misplaced your sarcasm detector. They're conveniently available at WalMart for the low, low price of $299.99.

Yeah, Burbank is too small to use jetways, so you get to board the plane old-school using the stairs. Definitely neat! :) That's also one of the reasons I like landing there because having stairs means you also get to exit at the rear of the plane.

BUR is a decent airport overall. Then again I've never been to an airport I didn't like so maybe someone else can answer that!

As for your other post, aside from my fangirl opinion Southwest has nice, clean interiors and AWESOME quality. Enjoy!

Hey, my home airport is NOT a "convenient garbage heap"! I'd kill to work there, especially for Southwest!

@SYLMARFB12 Bob Hope Airport is a garbage heap. And so is LAX.

Some quick history: Burbank, like many of the smaller feeder airports SWA uses, were built in the early-mid 20th century, usually as off-shoots of being army air fields in WW1/2 or plane production/testing facilities as the burbank field was for Hughes Aircraft. Ive flown into both BUR and Long Beach, which has a similar setup, and find these "off/on"boarding a refreshing change from the "jet bridge" you see at most airports these days..

Love everything about landing on 8 at BUR. First time was back in 2001, Maddog slammed the brakes! Loved it!!!

@dylanhelmer Actually, pilots always use their spoilers, that's if the plane they're flying has spoilers. However, the only time they don't need reverse thrust is if the runway's long enough where they can slow down quick enough without it, but they still always have to use their spoilers.
