holy monkey

that is low
pause it when its over the road, it LOOKS like it nearly hits someone

Stavros

Dont think its half as low as it looks, the engines dont even make an effect on the water.

Christian and Beccy

You blind?

It's gotta be less than 50 feet when it goes over the road which is fucking insane IMO.

Christian and Beccy

iTrader: (14)

Not only that, it's barely over the perimeter fence before you see the first tyre touch the tarmac.

Could the engines not be in reverse thrust by the time it is that close to the water, considering that it is probably a short runway and needs to slow down fairly urgently?

Fiddy

Seen a few from that airport, they do get seriously low. here's a few more low flying vids

i bet the vids at same height, not half as low as it looks (it looks almost head height), not considering no wake in the water, and how long after it got over the runway that the wheels hit the tarmac.

As said, Its called The Airports called St. Maarten - Netherlands Antilles



Been trying to get onto photobucket to upload some pictures but can't

I would LOVE to see that. SOOOOO impressive.

There is another runway in Australia apparently which is similar, though the runway is beside the beach, but almost as close.

Pics to follow.....

you must have seen some big heads in your time dude

Fiddy

vid from the same airport, plane has to abort landing as there is a plane already on the runway taking off, could have been nasty

Stavros

err, either you stupid or deliberatly mis-quoting me.

i said in the thread it (pic and vid) is nowhere near head height like people were making out from the vid.

Christian and Beccy

iTrader: (14)

Either way Stav, I bet you would have said 'Holy Fuck' if you had been standing there.

These things look awesome at 500 feet, so 50 feet must be outrageous.

BM08

Any of these pics are low as hell to me, ive never seen one go that low in the flesh anyway

o n i o n

They are great photo's,

But would the thrust from the engines not throw the cars and the people over??

Like on the end of pushing tin when the two guys stand on the runway as a jet lands.

Or like off top gear, when they attempted to drive a 2CV behind a plane with it's engines running?

Steve, if the low landing wouldn't scare you, how about this if you were on it with a window-seat??

T: "How you gonna land it:"

P: "Put it down real low"

T: "is that not too risky?"

P:"No, putting it down low is something you have to do to land it"
