  • and 'backwards' meaning not coming in over the hill.

  • islanders and trislanders are great planes! trislanders fly to the channel islands and mainland England!

  • @MrOzwinner Do you not understand quotation marks.....DOUCHE

  • this is not landing backwards you fukn douche!

  • The pilot did not change his mind. The approach was to RWY 28 from the outset. And stop the zooming in. Learn how to use a camera.

  • @legoman05 do thay stell make them

  • @legoman05 oh right! yea.

  • @Immaculite Thats a BN-2 Islander...

  • the pilot is amazing..I have landed many times at st barts and it is ALWAYS a hair raier..even when landing in the normal up and over the hill and road manner

  • This was NOT landing backwards. Landing backwards is Throttle on to make the halfway point on the runway, then going to idle and having a strong enough headwind to push you backwards aloft, reverse controls, and touching down. I've only seen it once and it was in either a Cessna or Piper. Can't remember. Sadly havn't seen it done since and can't find a video of anyone else doing it!
