Can't decide if it's more or less impressive that he managed to hit so many lights in a row. Certainly had a steady hand!

[Thankzsharing]

Never mind a few runway lights. You should see what a B-52 can mess up when it does what it was designed to do in the first place.

[andymanaus]

Despite the destruction, those edge lights would cost less to repair and replace than keeping the B-52 in the air for an hour.

[typhoon]

A380 that "nearly missed the runway" actually touched down on the centreline.

[skydiverclassc]

It never fails to amaze me when I see the size of the flaps on a B-52.

[zapfanzapfan]

Taxing sideways makes it look like a power slide, what an awesome maneuver!

"Hello, we have seafood menu specials on this flight. The cockpit crew is having crab."

[RonPiggott]

Thanks for putting this video together.

That runway light business made me laff hard! Hilarious! If you could only rename your page "3 Minutes of Amusing Aviation".

[ItsLesurex]

perfect 3 minutes of aviation good work

[johnandrews]

It's almost like that B-52 pilot was hitting those lights intentionally.

[garycarter]

I am glad I was not on that A380.

The landing would have been fine if the pilot had not 'kicked' the rudder the wrong way on touchdown at 00:31.

B-52 "Well sorry but destroying shit is just what I do, man!"

[monkeyboy]

Oh Nigel, what are you doing boy - good job you have friends at the CAA.

[lilacfrogs]

Yo man everyone in the discord server goes mad every time you release a new vid they all love you there you’re like a celebrity you should really join

[sebastianfoster]

I was at RIAT 2023 and saw the B-52 on the Sunday as it didn’t take off in the Saturday but I wonder if they will have any more videos from there. I have a few myself but it would be could to see a few more.

[rcnfo]

How did the B52 crew not know the impact of their demo? No pre-flight planning? Wasn't Tower watching? It's funny to see, until we (taxpayers) get the bill.

[stackya]

i am amazed that a cross wind can have that kind of influence on a giant plane such as the A380

[michaelocyoung]

That B52 sequence reminds me of a snake eating fireflies.

#2 Am I seeing correctly that only slats but no flaps extended for the tak-off? Not sure if this is how it's supposed to be.
