    great footage, but wow, that thing seems to drop like a rick when it lands, huh?!
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    I love crosswind videos. That was the first time I was ever actually impressed by that plane. The crosswind takeoff was pretty cool, too.

    Speaking with a Qantas Airbus captain about it, the airbus is designed to thud down when landing. It appears to be a hard landing, but onboard it's quite smooth. The same captain had migrated from 747's. When he tried to baby it down (as he would the 747), the Airbus would fall onto the runway and the landing would feel bad.

    The A380 video is cool, but this still stands as one of the best aviation videos of all time. Music and all.
