Kind of glad I saw this AFTER I landed on Saturday. Weather was pretty similar and we came in crossed up as well, but luckily got down first time. Im not a nervous flyer, but if I was on THAT flight, id probably be carrying excess baggage in my pants!

Saw that on the news, lucky!

First time I went on a plane was Heron flight from Yeovilton to Prestwick in a little twin engined turboprop thing. Was fine until I noticed on approach I had to look out the side window to see the runway, the crosswind was that bad lol

I flew on a fokker 27 seater from Dublin to B'ham on Aer Lingus. We were on the back row. All was well until the pre-flight drill finished, then the stewardess got out her crucifix & rosary beads, & said a few 'hail Mary's & our Fathers', she then crossed herself & sat down next to us.............

Apparently fokker 27 seaters have a quirk, the left wheel sometimes falls off at takeoff. The flight crew usually finds out when the airport radios them with the good news!!!!! they have to land them on the grass having circled for 2 hrs to burn up the fuel

Funk that! I'd have to be smacked off my tits to take a ride like that.

I used to fly well as a kid but dont like it the older I've got.

I was sat over the left hand wing, and often look at it as we land as I enjoy watching the spoilers and flaps etc lol. If I was on that flight, all id have seen is the tip of the wing kiss the tarmac.

I would definately have pooed myself.
