BHX on Boxing Day (with ATC) by David Holman:

I also decided to post another of his videos from October as it includes unusually loud wake turbulence from a Ryanair plane (5:10 onwards):

flugsnug always comes up trumps

Some nice spray from a Qatar Dreamliner.

Flugsnug captures a poor chap falling off a bench in Sheldon Country Park. Maybe he could blame the wake turbulence.

Shouldn't laugh but . .........

 

[Ray Finkle]

More great stuff from flugsnug. A Thomson 763 from New Orleans landing in some choppy weather.

I can't remember if this clip has been posted before, even if it has it's still worth seeing again

 

[wolfheze]

Bit slow getting the gear up on the first one I thought ?

 

[BHXsupporter]

Wasn't she waiting for reasonably quiet air? Some while after going around there was quite a lot of wing vibration in the currents. They were probably concentrating on talking with the tower also rather than retracting the gear.

 

[Ray Finkle]

This is only repeating what I have been told, I'm not a pilot so I am happy to be corrected. Apparently if the go around is due to wind shear the aircraft configuration doesn't change until they are well clear.

 

[wolfheze]

Was just thinking you'd want the aircraft as 'clean' as possible when attempting a go around at such a critical phase ie flare when airspeed is at a premium. Like you I'm no pilot so am probably completely wrong !

Sheldon Country Park on a sunny day, you just can't beat it

 

[Matt995]

just a shame in that last video, that who ever edited it, had no idea about flight numbers, destinations and spellings!! At least they got the EK39/40 right! Easyjet flight from Tenerife ay? mmm don't think so!!

 

[jfy1999]

30 minutes worth of footage looking down RWY 33 featuring some noisy wake turbulence and a very fast and quiet CS100 takeoff.

 

[Brum X]

Dont know if this video has been posted before but it gives a great view from a Austrian Airways A320 as it leaves a wet/windy Runway 15.

EK40 had a really short takeoff in that video @jfy1999

Modern aircraft just don't seem to need the runway length however big they are.
I remember being in Sheldon Country Park in the 90's when the G8 summit was in Brum.
A USAF B707 (Air Force 2?) i think was carrying Hillary Clinton took off.
It is the only time i think i have involuntary ducked.

 

[Brum X]

SWISS CS100, although rather shaky.

That's the wonders of high bypass ratio engines.
