Title: Kansai Airport - Osaka Japan
Post by: Enduro on August 22, 2005, 09:27:20 AM

I'm trying to locate an .avi of a 747's rough landing into - what i believe was - Kansai airport in Osaka, Japan.  Thought I had the video on my hard drive; can't find it though.  And, would love to show it to a friend of mine.

Video showed a 747 on final approach and just before touchdown, the wind pushed it hard to one side.  The 747 still landed, but almost at a 30-degree angle.

If any of you collectors know the video, would appreciate it if you'd post it.  

Thanks!
