Amazing (sped up) footage of the Moon's shadow during the recent solar eclipse (March 20th, 2015), as seen in flight at 46,000ft (14km).





Apocalyptic!

Every Commercial Flight Ever

Hilarious video (trust me!) by Indian comedy group AIB (All India Bakchod).

I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply just to Indian flights.


Remember to click CC for captions!

(Caution! Some NSFW language)





The air stewardess is simply a joy to watch.

Airplanes Landing In Strong Crosswind Conditions

A Thomson Airways Boeing 767 encounters a 35-knot (~65km/h) crosswind during landing at Birmingham airport (BHX).

The pilots (and the landing gear) handle it pretty nicely.





It would be interesting to know how it felt for the passengers.

Here's a few more from user Flugsnug's Youtube channel:





And also a go-around performed by an Emirates Boeing 777.
I admit I had heard of this procedure, but hadn't really ever seen one.




In the end, after two failed attempts at landing in Birmingham, they decided to head to Gatwick.

Airplanes Landing Under Severe Wind

According to the video description, this is footage from an airport in northern Spain.

Of course, for the airport to be open, it means that these conditions are considered acceptable for a safe landing. Still... I would definitely not like to be a passenger in one of these planes...

Black Friday San Diego Airport Landings

So many Southwest Airlines planes!
(or could it be a false impression due to their characteristically weird colour scheme?)
