Dec/Jan was particularly windy in the UK. These are short episodes recorded at Birmingham Airport.

You would not have wanted to be a passenger on some of these planes.

Those pilots are earning the money flying the hell out of those jets, most of the landings are a thing of beauty.
Must be fun after a long boring flight to work your ass off in the cockpit!

You have to wonder which is more unnerving for the pilot... landing under those conditions, or taking off. There comes a point where an abort is a non-issue in either case I suppose.. and praying you've made the right choice.

I'd like to hear the soundtrack of the passengers aboard sync'd up to the landing. Amazing they are flying in that weather, looks incredibly dangerous.
