This is not exactly the post for those of you afraid of flying. I’ve had this links and videos sitting in a text file on my computer since February when I found them. I was supposed to blog about them a long time ago, but I never could seem to find the time. Today, I made that time.
It all started when I saw this photo:
Then I started searching around for crazy places to land and found the following.
Low Landings
This is a series of YouTube videos of various low landing approaches in St. Maarten.
Next up is anding at Culebra Airport in San Juan.
This last one is a link because YouTube won’t allow me to embed it:
Hong Kong
This is a representative clip I found of the landings at the now retired Kai-Tak Airport in Hong Kong.
Finally, I leave you with a link to a story about the most dangerous places to land. Enjoy!

awesome! There’s supposedly some air strips in the himalayas that are at a 10% grade, and you land going “up hill” and then take off zooming down hill then off the cliff.

I’ve been on large airliners that have aborted landings. That was crazy enough. I can’t imagine what the guy on the moped thinks!
Whoa!
