Hope You Don't Get Airsick!

[A340]

Being an airplane fanatic and pilot myself, there was a thread about the airport at Tegucigalpa, Honduras recently in another forum that I am a member of. Anyway, the approach to the airport is one of the more demanding approaches around, because of the terrain, the pilots have to do a downwind leg (which means fly parallel to the runway), turn 180 degrees to line up with the runway and fly down a slope to touchdown on the rather short runway.

So I just thought I'd share a couple of videos of this amazing approach ...

The only thing that freaks me on planes is lots of turbulence. Then things get freaky
