I wanna be a pilot so bad!

Landing of plane at DXB runway 12L, clear day, from the Northern side (i.e. Arabian Gulf). Beautiful.

I was hoping if you still have that blog and if ever you can email me your views about the rotating towers in Dubai. My side is against the rotating towers and I really can't find much sources that argues against the said project. I will of course cite you as the source. thanks.

There's no other feeling like that of actually landing in the UAE. Emotional overdrive / ecstasy. Thanks for the video.; 23 August 2009 at 17:01
BuJ said...: hala Mr Rosh :) I knew you'd like this clip.. it's so clear.. i love it :)

plus it's great how they call out the remaining vertical distance in feet down to 50, 40, 30, 20, then they flare (i.e. pull the nose up slightly).

Notice these guys are proper pilots, in that they are actually controlling the landing as opposed to using ILS. Additionally, one last point is that the co-pilot has command on this flight :); 23 August 2009 at 22:02
