wouldn't want to be on the first one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4OxGkmvPng You may have seen the pics of how close plane's land near this beach but look at the vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvh7KrW8jV0&feature=related Stu
Good skills in the cross wind in the 1st vid, had that during a flying lesson in mid wales but we managed to touch down safely, we could see the wind sock showing the cross wind which we had to turn into. That 2nd one reminds me of the isle of man which has traffic lights along the straight road that is in between the end of the runway & the sea.
Been on a plane that`s gone sideways before (not as extreme as that though!). It`s a bit odd to all of a sudden be looking out of your window down the runway! 2nd one is the plane spotter`s wet dream. A beach on St. Maartens in the Caribbean IIRC.
