Neil Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Interesting selection of short aviation vids, all quite interesting from an unlikely source. Not really terrifying, just the usual candidates, ie Lukla, Courcheval and some others. One I had not seen was Tioman in Malaysia, really nice seaside short strip with an interesting approach. Includes Tegucigalpa, one of my all time favourites, where an American 757 absolutely nails a steep curved approach! Enjoy. />http://www.womansday.com/Articles/Life/Travel/10-Terrifying-Airport-Runways.html?cid=wd%3Aotb%3Alifestyle%3A10-Terrifying-Airport-Runways%3A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain_Mc Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 How close is that building to the starboard wingtip at about 0:52. Wow. And I like the Honduras one too, that field must surely be one-way-in, one-way-out regardless of wind. Can't imagine clearing that terrain on the departure.

Derek McAllan Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Yep, Woman's Day. One of my regular stops for cutting edge aviation news (Great vids though!) Cheers, Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Woman's Day is not one of my regular stops! Picked it up as a link with an article in the Business/Boeing section of the Seattle Times! Good articles on Boeing by correspondent Dominic Gates, if you are a Boeing fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sos Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Yeah ... thanks for the video ...I'm flying into Lukla in December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricky76 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I would have loved to be on the patio of the the house in Buhtan in the first video!!!. Lukla is a classic as well. But that one in Corchevele FR. takes the cake. I bet the GPWS was just screaming in the pit of that AA757 into Honduras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
