Iain Emms Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Well then chaps after many tries and failed attempts i might add i got her down but it took a good two hours of trying i might add a difficult one this but i was asked if i had landed the 767 here so had to give it a go bearly any throttle on the point of stalling i think Too fast this time keep going Emmsie. Turned around and tried again...............No chance. Not this time to far down the runway to stop .....off again. Finally after two hours or so just managed to hit the runway at the begaining and come to a stop right at the end of it I think i need new tyres and brakes now ........and oh yes some new under pants.

michael63 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Well done Iain. Love your story and the nice pictures along with it. Did not think it could be done with a 767 LOL....A 737 is another thing though and much lighter. Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikbenik Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Great admiration to your 2hours attemt to bring this big bird safe to the soil of Concrete, congratulations with the final successful landing, I suppose that every crewmember and possible passenger(s) have sweat-out a couple of pounds and now drinking a strong liquid at the local bar(s)... ) Waiting for a new challenging try on this or simular airstrip to airborn or land an unusual plane for it.
