I have to say, the lions didn't look very scared. More like the one walking around said, "That's unpleasant. I'll just wait over here then." The other didn't even get up.

[mariocandela]

Title is garbage....should say, "pilot lands during crosswind landing just like normal."

[tonyf]

Wait...who the F is filming the lions 😂

[aaronlopez]

Lions; 1:55 "the food delivery is here".

[gusjones]

Aw, poor kitties. They just wanted to greet the tourists.

[adamclark]

Lion: "Uurrgghh...I hate tinned food"

[thebobloblawshow]

That lion was looking at the plane thinking, “there’s treats inside that”

[MrSidestick]

Last clip is an engine "run up" usually around 50% of N1 for few seconds in order to remove ice accretion on the engine fan blades, after which is safe to pull full thrust.

That Iberia Airbus is doing its best Aerosucre impersonation on that landing. Good try, but you were still waaay too high.

[joeythelemur]

That was the craziest "refusal to go around" I've ever seen.

[luhaarunk]

Lions: yeah, come. We will show you safari

[bobcuriston]

Likewise . I never heard a refusal to “go-around”. I just saw a very skillful landing in turbulence.

[wasabiu]

Lion: They can't stay in the plane forever. I can wait.

[flyingmyles]

Everyone loves a bit of wind! Lovely to see some Gatwick action too

[hutfrd]

Those lions could have not cared less about that little flying lunchbox

[MidwestMotor]

LOL - that pilot didn't scare off those lions - the one was just still laying there saying thanks for the fan, it's hot out here! 🤣🤣

[brightymcbrightface]

where's the "pilot refuses to go around" bit?

[agennt]

yeah that lion was really really scared

[theaviationastronomychannel]

1:35 that would be one awesome but scary St.Maarten moment!

Thank you for including IranAir's landing in the clip. 
The aircraft had a small hydraulic issue during the approach but pilots, as always, buttered the landing. 
They tried to fix the issue at gate but unsuccessful and because UK does not provide ANY assistance to IranAir planes, they cancelled the return flight that evening.
A replacement part was sent to UK the next day. The aircraft was fixed and returned to Tehran with its next scheduled flight again to London and this time no issues :)
