Saw that from a different angle before but THAT really does show how bad it could have been.
A lot of passengers found out adreneline is brown and stinks on that flight.

any idea what the cross winds were? - surprised he wasn't diverted - unless of course the weather was bad over a huge area!!!

Nice footage.........I was worried the prop was going to stop at any moment. I presume its jus an effect of the video camera not being able to show its real speed?

Prop speed seems to be an issue with digital video cameras........

Just came across this - pretty unique - a Zero with a working Mitsubishi Sakae 14-cylinder, Model 31 "Prosperity" :ymapplause:



And from the sublime to the ridiculous ...I could see the CAA not being very keen on this if it were in the UK - especially the last pass :-o :-o
