    Amazing Takeoffs and Landings

    If anyones been to the Caribbean, especially this island, they have heard about this airport. The airport is only yards away from the beach, which makes it every difficult for airlines to land. Moreover, whenever the planes exert thrust when taking off, it pushes the tourists alongside the sand. Check it out for yourself.

    Enjoy,

    if you go to the full reply box (vice the quick reply box) you can use the media tags (the big blue M) to actually put the clip in the thread (as I did in the above post)

    All you need is the URL.

    I find that it doesn't work with break.com or myspace video clips, but it works like a charm with YouTube.

    Let me try again. This clip is of the old airport in Hong Kong. These types of landings were not unusual at this airport.

    this is another one proving it. Talk about extreme crosswinds
