Classic British Flight Sim

Hi Guy's

Dunno if any of you have seen this bit of footage before (Henk probably has!!) but it worth the couple of minutes viewing. SA 747SP landing on a very small runway :shock:

Cheers Dave

I'd not seen that one :shock:


That's one of those rare occasions when flying is almost as real as FS :think: :roll:

Must have been fun for the crew....one landing they'll never forget.

Looked like they had a fair ol' crosswind thrown in for extra fun value You have to hand it to them, those SAA heavy (747 & A340) pilots are just the right side of the genius/insane boundary

Thanks for that, Dave. I saw a similar one a while ago concerning a QANTAS 747 landing in similar circumstances. That was interesting as well.

It's a small place, check here

Thanks for that.

Great bit of Mercury music too.

Heh, that looked fun Id like to see a full size 747 try and get in there though!

I remember a little over 12 years ago, stepping off a late evening Air UK Leisure flight from LGW to SZG, being surprised to see an Air China 747 parked next to us on the apron. It was there for a high-level diplomatic meeting. How they got that into Salzburg I'd like to know, the runway isnt all that long (or wide!)

Hi

Just payed a visit to POSKY and seemingly they are planning a 747sp in the near future....might be a possibility to try it your self ;-)

Mike Stone's had one for longer than I can remember:
