Air Canada - Flight Deck / Cockpit Landing in GRU (Sao Paulo)

May 23, 2009, Air Canada Flight #090 YYZ-GRU
I was lucky enough to sit in the flight deck for the landing on this beautiful morning in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The guys were great and despite the (ahem) shaky video on touch down, my colleagues in the back said it was normal!

Sorry, since 911, only cabin crew and pilots are alowed in the flight deck, at my airline anyway. I suspect it is the same, if not even more strict at other airlines.
