If I get all the characters in the right place, I hope this comes up.
Also other good videos there.

I used to fly into Wellington on a weekly basis for work for about 6 months - some of those landings are quite tame compared to some I have been on into there.......what you dont see on the videos is the approach - this part is even WORSE.....coming over the heads to the harbour makes even a seasoned traveller think twice about getting on another commercial flight ever again!!!!

Do a search on Youtube for A380 Hard Landing at Oshkosh. I think that was from last year and really bounced the wings! Kind of makes me hungry for crab!
Type at you later,

Go to You Tube and search on "Hong Kong" and "crosswind". Apparently the old airport in Hong Kong was terrible for crosswind, and has this really nasty approach. There's some impressive videos there if you can avoid all the flight sim movies.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Better get your computor fixed.
LL~I ran this link several times after I got the right carachters in place. Even after I poste I ran it again to make sure. If it didn't work it was going to get deleted. Some scary landings with big planes like that. Watch a little Cessna or Piper making cross wind landings. Especially when I thought they were going to drag a wing tip. I guess good pilots know how to side slip.
