Flying is easy. Landing is hard.

 /QUOTE]Maybe that was the problem? Having your feet ON the pedals would've been better, yes?

I dunno, that landing didn't look all that dramatic to me, even if the pilot was hamfisting it a bit. But a view from the front or back would have been more indicative of the difficulty of that landing as you can't tell how much the plane was meandering from the runway left or right.

 Lucky he got her down in one piece. Nice flyin.  I think he was feverishly hunting for the air brakes.

Not sure if Tchocky would agree but unless I'm wrong I believe Schiphol is well know for its occasional tricky wind conditions. I flew in and out of there on a fortnightly basis for over two years and many is the time things would get a little uppity during takeoff and or landing.
I put it down to the lack of mountains in the area that would help shield from the winds coming over the Russian steppes....least that is what I had the wife believe

The end result was an aircraft on the ground in one piece. Well done to the flight crew.
I bet that landing gear was carefully checked though.

Although I'd take a bumpy landing over the long taxi back from 18R any day. Problem these last few days have been Dusseldorf arrivals from the west, clipping along at close to 600 knots groundspeed, have to start them down almost at the English coast
