Great Vid Tom thx for sharing ;)
Chas and me where there a while ago and it was not that windy like on the vid but also had some nice landings to watch. Emirates 777 was also landing that day ;)

cheers Mike

Great Video Tom!

Hope you know that is were CFC Airlines was established..
Chas made the CIRCUS come alive and famous there..
As you can see them high wire dismounts are a thing to see..

Chas may have completed at least 2,000 flights between EDDL and KPIA as I remember.. A trill every time..

Thanks

Remember the thread 'Weather Recommendations' here? It was before the storm!  ;)


I had the same idea like those guys, but I was thinking about Frankfurt. Next time I will do it, but my optical zoom is with 10x to weak to take the landings from the opposite direction!    :(

Taking pictures from behind should be similarly impressive...
