Is that bad? If that was a MD-11, it would be scattered like a Lego airplane. And they say the Bus is a French pos!!

Great job, but normally shouldn't they have been landing along the length of the runway instead of across it? Things have certainly changed since I stopped flying.

Fake. Fake. Fake. (extra 2 fakes for minimum post requirements.)

Real. Real. Real.

Nice or dumb?

What was the mission here?

Nastiest winds I have ever seen.

Yes, you are right. I remember breaking out and the Pilot looking up asking where the runway was, I stuck my arm in front of his face and pointed out his side window! The "Mighty Orion" would always make it in first try, but the heavies would take a couple times!
