American 777 insane landing at London Heathrow!
Caught during our livestream at

BOSH! A350 HARD LANDING 😮
CX239 from Hong Kong smokes the mains on Rwy 27L during crosswinds at London Heathrow. Watch as the opposite inertia kicks the 230 tonne flying machine all over the place. A real battle between pilot and machine to get that thing straightened up with
If you Tweeted, DM'd or Emailed me I will get to you! I'm doing my best working through everyone as well as producing the show and keeping an eye on the tech. Even my octopus arms are struggling today! 😱- Gilly
A321 TOGA and Tail Strike!
A full-on Touch and go, with a tail strike! Watch for the paint dust after contact and watch the empennage shaking as it drags. The pilot deserves a medal! BA training could use this in a scenario - happy to send the footage chaps 😉

A380 Wing at work! Check-out the split Ailerons at the end of the wing and those huge flaps and spoilers. The A380’s wing span is 80M with a surface area of over 840M2, meaning it can land 20kts slower than a 747. Listen as the gear doors ‘slam’ shut!
@British_Airways
Winds of 70mph left planes swaying in the skies above London as pilots attempted to land during Storm Noa.
Cult YouTube aviation channel Big Jet TV was there to capture all the spills and skills necessary to land passenger jets in the howling crosswinds

Hi

1/5 We'd like to address some of the things you have written in this article. Firstly, we don't have 'rivals', we support anyone who shares our passion. Secondly, what you have written is completely untrue.

The heart says it all for aviation fans and supporters of this majestic aircraft around the world. And most of all, our heart felt support for the poor folks getting wrapped-up in this whole mess 😕
The biggest plane in the world "Mriya" (The Dream) was destroyed by Russian occupants on an airfield near Kyiv. We will rebuild the plane. We will fulfill our dream of a strong, free, and democratic Ukraine.
It was a beautiful day to bid farewell to

Springboard landing!
Was this an over, or late flare? Doesn’t seem to be a particularly heavy landing 🤔 I seriously thought they were going-around for a second, but the pilot just ‘drops it’. Could also be a sudden gust caught them as they touched down. Your thoughts…
