It's amazing to think a big heavy A380 can be affected by wake turbulence. A pretty cool reminder of how powerful the forces which create lift are.

[JB_Hobbies]

So cool how fly-by-wire flutters control surfaces like feathers on a bird’s wings.

Great to hear the pilot explain to the passengers

1:10 I find it so fascinating to hear the Doppler effect whenever an object making sound passes by

[TroyMorePhotography]

Watching that A380 correct the turbulence was like seeing a piano being played. Beautiful.

I've said this before and I will say it again - A380 has the quietest engines ever. Such a marvel that machine!

[kenr]

I didn’t know Peterbilt made biplanes! And the snow landing was amazing! Good vid!

[enigmawyoming]

Most snow landing are performed ‘hard’ on purpose to avoid initial skidding. That was an amazing landing!

Those split ailerons are very fascinating. They appear to move totally independently of each other, but it really works like this.. Inner aileron moves same time as outer, but twice as far, and middle aileron follows half second later. Seeing the full span spoilerons coming up means the pilot (or autopilot) was making some very large inputs.

It's interesting that it's basically impossible to notice the engine thrust increase. A380s are so quiet, aside from the flap mechanisms!

[citibear]

Love the train horn on the Antonov! I always thought it would be cool to have a plane honking as it flew or taxied past 😂

[theaviationastronomychannel]

Anyone just love that A380 flap sound?GO AROUND!!

[dabincharlotte]

Stunning engine sound on the 757? It sounded like a baby to me!

[xraylife]

The A380's ability to pull up in an emergency is incredible - the power of those engines!

[RickyB]

Am I the only one who hates thrust reduction when flying?! Immediately puts a pit in my stomach.

Gentlemen, boys and girls, from the flight deck, this is the captain speaking Great to hear captain explain situation to passengers ...

Ryanair: Get that pilot an application!

[clqudy]

10/10 for that SW pilots landing! And the 757 is such a badass plane - love flying in them!

[UncleManuel]

Just when you thought you have seen everything there comes an Antonov An-2 flying - with a friggin TRAIN HORN! 😂😂😂

[alanmlkbanda]

gotta give ultimate credits and respect to the pilot at the very end transitioning from a very shaky approach to a perfectly smooth touchdown. Impressive
