Spirit trying to land in a Hurricane #Hurricane #aviation #pilot #airlines #plane #planespotting

No shame in a go-around, even for a A-321 during a freakin hurricane!We’ve had a couple of local GA accidents lately from guys not being proficient doing go-arounds. Sad IMO, especially when the wx was nothing like the captain of this Airbus is experiencing. 🤙🏼

[aromrell]

That looks like a huge tail wind there too. Good decision.

[addrockk]

You'd think they would have diverted long before this point, wouldn't ya? Oh, wait, it's Spirit... Nevermind, Full send.

[RCFlyBy]

Damn, , No deviating around that ! Serious wind conditions for a final

[GaryNumeroUno]

What the hell was he thinking even contemplating a landing in that shit!

Should have diverted to the alternate an hour prior to top of descent. 😮

[richienotsorich]

Why did Spirit even attempt to go to a dangerous storm? It's not like nobody knew the weather conditions before they took off. 🙄

[RandyHodder-zk]

Serious bus driving....! ...them engines gotta have great ignitions and flame holding stability.. WOW..!!.. Be safe Capt JOE...

[thomasurban]

Safety is always preached before they leave the ground . Why the hell wasn't that plane diverded?? Profits over safety I'll never fly spirit ever

[bryanjones]

That was definitely a wind sheer go around

[hymlog]

...I saw a plane do that one time long ago.

[robertprice]

Wouldn't it be better to land going the opposite direction so the wind is a headwind?

[linda]

I would be petrified!! Is this a thing? I assumed flights would be grounded in a hurricane??

[Nouta-jd]

Big man came in well to high 😅 that would be scary af

[FullSendPrecision]

Spotters having the time of their life

[KTWardlaw]

Shouldn’t have been anywhere near there….

[Timemachine]

What is that captain doing smh keep that bird on the ground

[jeffreychandler]

Did he make the landing on the next attempt?
