Nice video of landing in Queenstown NZ.

2:45 - 3:25 takes some faith in your kit, and the airport's!

Only thing that spoilt it for me was the music by Britain's biggest bland. :03:

Very cool and going through that low cloud cover just shows how much faith you put in your instruments and the control tower.

I'm glad they knew exactly where they were. When they descended into the soup I was thinking "Wait a minute! There are mountains all around! I wouldn't go down into that!" Then they came out exactly where they wanted to be with more than enough ceiling, and I stopped holding my breath.

That was beautiful. I was only disappointed by finding out it was sped up from normal time for effect.

:yep: It took me about 30 seconds to finally click on the 'Mute' button.

Fantastic scenery. And any landing that you walk away from is a good one.:ping:

Great video, thanks for sharing.

I remember one particularly foggy winter in DFW we had a stretch of several days in a row of doing these on every single flight it seemed.

One day was so low we were taxiing all over DFW international via radar guidance lol

I think I clicked it after the first two bars. ;)

Another good video GR. I remember a flight into Melbourne a few years ago in similar conditions. You couldn't see the ground until you got to about 50ft. Very scary flying.

Would have been better with some King Behemoth.:)

Jimbuna 12-13-13 04:57 PM

Images like these make me feel free.
While enjoying how they took to the sky in such an elegant manner, I kept thinking these are fighter jets, machines built for the sole purpose of killing and destroying.
With so many beautiful things in the world to do (flight being one of them), will we ever stop fighting each other?
