That's fantastic to hear. Fond memories of seeing this fly into Hawarden in the late 70s/early 80s when I was in primary school. Tha aircraft it's based on is an awesome piece of engineering on it's own.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
If that was RyanAir, I bet the passengers would have been charged extra for the "Rollercoster" landing experience. That'll be £10 please, thank-you. Next - £10 please, thank-you...next...£10 please, thank-you....etc
That's good piloting skills to nail it and get it back in the air....no doubt they train for hours to do that to make it look easy.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
You've only seen strong winds when you see a 747 flighing almost sideways on final approach.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
I think I've been in a plane with this pilot 
Or was it just turbulence?

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
Just had 4 helicopters (single followed by two more about 500 meters behind and then followed by another one again about 500 meters behind) go overhead.. Must be going to Helitech at Duxford..
Through the bins one had an orange rear engine cover on it.. So quite identifiable
