Hats off the the engineers who built the landing gear on the 380 wow !

Imagine looking out your window to see the center line of the runway.

Absolutely amazing: "I can land a flying office block - sideways!"

Lots of amazing landings and recoveries recently: thank you very much!

that A380 landing was a *monumental* sight. I am a huge diehard B747 fan but my hat is *officially* off to Airbus -- and that PIC.

That A380 landing reminded me of what happened when a couple of Irish pilots were coming in to Prestwick Airport in Scotland. One said to the other "They haven't left us much distance to land on", and the other replied, "yes, but look at the width of the runway!".

I guess having an aircraft the size of the A380 is a big advantage in those conditions.

There's something very satisfying about watching those gear extension/retraction tests, like the Boeing 767 at 2:25. I'd love to see that for real.

[Angel]

Fantastic!! I always thank my pilot and their crew each and every time we land safely at our destination. Those were definitely experienced pilots. So many lives to be responsible for. I give these landings a standing ovation.

That USAF C-4 Brakes are literally fire🔥🔥🔥

[Itsfalcon]

Naw that cross wind landing would’ve scared the living shit out of me if I was a passenger

[marvin]

Watching pilots maneuvering and adjusting in crosswind landings is very impressive!

[rosehiver]

Passenger on 38F : Miss ! Why am I seeing the runway through my window ? 😂

[James-ooyq]

If the camera viewpoint was down the centre line, it would look even more spectacular

[scottcates]

This is the best 3MOA to date -- the A380 crosswind landing supremacy; C5A overheated brakes and the B737 hard landing bounce commemerate and validate *both* the dedication and skill of our pilots *and* the excellent aircraft they fly. Color me impressed!

[ericinzesky]

wow this crab landing is awesome ! I can't imagine the colour of the faces of the passengers... Thanks again for all these yummy videos ! 🙂

That A380 was unreal Those engines are incredible.

[colmanbaldwinson]

I rewatched that landing probably 10 times, incredible

[thebobloblawshow]

That A 380 was an extraordinary performance by the crew. 👍👍 Really incredible.

Many years ago, I flew into Gatwick on a WardAir 747. Sitting in seat 1A, it looked like I was about 50’ into the grass when the main gear touched down. Very weird feeling indeed!

[ezerffgcvvv]

AMAZING skills !
Pilot deserves a bonus for this landing 👋👋👋👋👋

Imagine sitting on the right side of the A380 and seeing a cockpit type view of the runway ahead out of your passenger window! Would like to see a video of that view!
