Just came across this

which has nothing to do with riding a motorcycle.

greetings from a cold and quiet north - good riding conditions though

Geez!!!   :o   What was the name of that airline, so I can be sure to avoid them for future booking?

Lufthansa, and the airport is Hamburg, Germany. The weather conditions were not good: Wind speeds above 30 m/s in the gusts and the wind coming from the side.

It was in the news tonight and the experts, whomever they are, say that the pilot probably made a couple of pilot errors. Lufthansa has no comments before the investigation of the near crash is finished!

greetings from a quiet and dark north

Those crosswinds are hairy. Probably fault of the tower as well not bringing him in nose in the wind. I liked that little twisting/ spin bounce. The camera man may have been seeing a lot of that stuff that day  [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
