He doesn't exactly land it smooth either...look at the puffs back there...oh well, any landing a passenger can walk away from is a good one, right???????

I have a very dear friend who is a commercial pilot, as is his new wife. He is with United, she is with American, both flying the 757/767. I being a private pilot, my friend sent me that video a few weeks ago with amazement, saying how big the balls must be...yada yada yada..... and he sent it to his wife. It turns out that his wife flew that trip regularly (somewhere in Guatamala I think?) and made that landing dozens of time as pilot in command. Gotta love a hot chick/hot pilot. BTW she flew Airforce tankers and he didn't!!!

That, my friend, was F'ing incredible!!! It almost looked like he flew it to the runway instead of approaching it. At the end it looks as if he actually pointed his nose down just to continue his steep glide slope.

That Honduras one is gnarley, they gotta clear the hillside then drop like a rock.
