On an Aer Arann flight from Cork to Dublin. Landing in Dublin I was looking right down the runway from my seat! Like in the clips the aircraft only straightened up just before it touched down. Even then that was a load of fun because the yaw on the plane as it was slowing down was incredible! That 747 landing at Kai Tak is absolutely awesome :) Hi Dave,
