AA landing in Tegucigalpa, prior to May 2009 984 ft extension increasing the length of the runway from 6112 ft to its current 7096 ft., combined with further blasting of hill on approach which somewhat decreases the risks and approach angle.

  • @Alexmur98 - Why do you think it's a fake? I didn't take the video, but I've stood there watching planes land. The video makes it appear that the runway is shorter than it actually is - but it is a very short runway & to land safely & successfully, pilots need to touch down at or very close to the "impact zone", which is the set of white lines. What makes this even more challenging are the surrounding mountains, requiring a somewhat steep approach, usually with a wide turn.

  • @Alexmur98 - Additionally, this video has been up for 4 years with 2 1/2 million views and hundreds of comments, many by persons who have landed here, including a number of pilots. You're the first one to suggest it is not real.

  • @roysf I totally agree with you that this is real, having landed at this airport in 2010 it was quite freaky and looked exactly like this video.

  • I remember driving in Tegucigalpa and freaking out everytime I saw a plane that close!

  • @Alexmur98 you're a dickhead, you can only say a video is fake if you actually think it is with proof, just because this is impressive doesn't mean its fake?? you're one of those buzz-kill guys that tries to find shitty things in everything, im so glad your getting abuse for this
