I shot the Paro go-around videos. What a day that was at Paro! 😄
There was 1 more touch and go earlier that I was only able to capture pics from. Had seen a lot from Paro, but this was something special. Very lucky to have seen these go-arounds that day!
Also, it's an honour to be featured here, thank you! ❤

The Bhutan Airlines pilot has his head screwed on properly. That kind of curved approach with poor sightlines to the runway is a tough challenge and it's evidently a short runway too hence his focus on nailing the touchdown point. Good decision making and nice flying. More like back-country strip flying: easy in a Super Cub but an A319 is a different game

Ryan Air probably charged the passengers extra for that rejected takeoff 😂

Well done Bhutan pilot!! I am proud of you. Never push a bad position. It does not hurt to go around. Perfect risk assessment. I hope all my pilots are so safety conscious

Tough bird the A340. That was a good 250 tons smacking down. At 2.8g we're talking about 700 tons of force

[RandGTFan]

That approach at 0:45 looks challenging!

[robertchoutka]

00:30 It's amazing that the landing gear didn't collapse ! Very well built !

[MichaelFlatman]

The A319 landing looked impressive. Fantastic flying there.

A go-around is always your first option. IF everything looks good, you land. Bhutan pilot may have had a little extra speed and definitely didn’t reduce the thrust to idle when it was needed. No float allowed on that short runway so great call to GA.

Career, USAF retired here & I love watching these videos. Thank you. 👍

Missing 9 seconds! Will we get them back in the next video? 😅🤣

That third attempt by Bhutan airlines was simply... Beautiful.

[jpfreitas]

That A319 Bhutan Pilot is the GOAT. Massive respect

[fmascia]

I'm impressed by the f15 pilot's reaction time to counteract yaw when the engine stalled.

[justsayin]

you can actually see the fuselage bend significantly at the tail end when it hits

[YBZGSpots]

Very nice compilation as usual. Just a heads up for the last clip, Paphos is a city in Cyprus and not Greece :)

[ronaldcharan]

Seeing a beautiful A340-600 suffer a landing like that was hard to watch.

[cpaps]

Just an FYI that Paphos is in Cyprus (not Greece!). And, more importantly, its a beautiful place :)

Hi Art…just me enjoying your labor of love

[sshah]

Mannnn that A340 landing is something else!!
