    Windy plane...

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17863501

    Do you think the middle pilot was after overtime??

    Not sure I'd want to be a passenger on any of these...
    I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

    Abort, abort, abort! Bet the pilot's adrenal glands were pumped after that landing.

      Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing, although I'd imagine a few passengers walked off the first plane like John Wayne.

      The last landing was on the button - I've been in worse than that.

        Agreed, generally with Ryan Air when my previous client wouldnt pay real flight prices.

          Tell me captain - did we land or were we shot down? (TM someone on the internet)

            Ryan Air have a pretty good safety record.

              Birmingham perchance? Still - some good skills from the pilots and a handsome profit for Knickerbox.

                Yeah .... but for an airline I go for 'Exceptional' as the baseline.

                I flew on BMI and experienced what is know as a 'no flaps' landing. (phnar) That was a little bit .

                  Had a landing like that in plymouth on a little prop driven plane (think it was with air southwest)

                  many people looked very shaken when we got off!
