 |  Interesting airliner approach and landing
I'm not sure if this is crazy as it appears, it it almost looks like a movie stunt . There isn't much margin for error, notice the crosswind and the length of the runway. Hats off to the pilots that land here. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/620236...plane_landing/ Last edited by POWERPLAY; 06-03-2007 at 11:41 AM. |

 | Re: Interesting airliner approach and landing
I've flown in this airport a few times....it's a trip(as a passenger). Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The clifs look like they are right below the wing tips. My distributor was right at the end of the runway off the road located there. When a plane took off and I was in his store it was a total heart attack. Man crazy airport. Kind of shoe-horned in....

| Re: Interesting airliner approach and landing
I live here, and let me tell you, you never get used to it. It is really unbeliveable. Its a 360 degree approach, while youre loosing altitude. Youre never straight in, and its completely visual. No ILS, no nothing.
