The following video (actually 3 episodes) is impossible to watch without flinching.
Before viewing I want to explain some facts:
1. This video was shot last week (29/04/2011).
2. This flight for this aircraft was the first after a decade of conservation.
3. Tupolev 154 is enough big plane: three-engine, upto 100,000 kg take-off weight, it carries upto 160-180 passengers.
P.S. Similar aircraft crashed at Smolensk North Airport on April 10, 2010, killing all on board, including the Polish President (Lech Kaczy?ski).
1. Takeoff:
2. Turn:
3. Landing:
I think the pilots are real heroes and men with nerves of steel!
