WOW! I'm guessing they don't let the rookie pilots try landing there.

LMAOOO Man he set that thing down JUST at the end of the warning tracks ! :eek: Iron nads :D
I have a buddy who fly's into a strip somewhere in the Phillipines. He said they have drug their tail several times taking off. :eek: He laughs and says the company just repaint's the tail everytime they get home. He also said that if it were not for the headwinds they would never make it off the ground. :eek:
I love to fly but not like that ! :D

beers love to stand behind DC-10's or 747's when
they start to take off, the jet engine thrust pushes most
of them and whatever is on the beach back into the ocean." <<=AteUp

I think the pilot did a barrel roll when we flew into Montego Bay. I've never been on such a corkscrew landing in my life. I thought for sure he was going to pitch it in the ocean.
