Flight Global’s Jon Ostrower posted videos of three different kinds of airplane approaches and landings. The first one is the most spectacular, as a Airbus A320 approaches Bhutan’s airport zooming, close to 12,000-foot mountains. Fast forward to 5:39.

They plane warns “1,000 feet” but they still can’t see the damn airport strip. It’s like Top Gun’s canyon run but with a 111-foot-wide airplane that weights about 129,000 pounds (58,500 kilograms) and carries 120 passengers. No pressure! [FlightBlogger]
