Video of an AA md80 landing in LAS on Sunday. I don't know if anybody else posted this; I did a search and didn't find anything. It takes a 20 secs or so to load...enjoy

That guy's shirt is horrid!

Hard, hard landing my fanny. It actually was a pretty smooth landing (with the landing gear). The tail did not strike. 8 degrees wing down will hit the gound, learn it, love it, live it!

who was flying that thing-- the FA? or maybe the cap should just let the FO make a few landings once in a while

Whatever happened to "What goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas...."

An open note to all nAAtive pilots:

I would AApreciate it if you could please AAtempt to be a little more gentle on all OUR old MD80's. 'TWAS three years ago that you elected to scrape all the paint off them, and buff them to the shiney AA livery....must you insist on shaving off the wing tips too?

LMAO!!! They were too busy trying to figure out the FMS on the 83G and will somebody please stop that freaking ACARS from constantly dinging!!!

No, I think this must be all the FB's and FC's that got displaced back to the 80 and now actually have to land the plane instead of the sim.

The CA was probably that that guy I flew with once that wanted to retract the upwind landing light "to give us more clearance" .
