Birmingham: Airport - Video Thread

[jfy1999]

Here we have a video on board a United 757 where you can not only enjoy the sight of it taxiing past everything parked on the International Pier but also the sound of those RB211s!!

I've just found time to watch this video in HD.
I'm seriously impressed - what a great video, Hassaan!
The images are 'pin sharp' (when the heat haze doesn't interfere) and (as I commented on your previous video), the sound is excellent.
Great to hear the little kids in the background - tomorrow's aviation/BHX enthusiasts?
Hope you had a great day and I'll certainly be looking forward to your next video.

Regards

Kevin

Sorry for the late reply - glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, it was a pretty warm day (although quite gusty as you can hear in the video), so the park was very busy.

Flugsnug was there to see the Flybe plane landing with a burst tyre...

Bet that was the finest landing the pilots ever made

For those who have the patience here is a full inflight video on board Aer Lingus A320 EI-DEO. Continuous real-time footage from the terminal at BHX to DUB (excluding security of course).

I've just booked a weekend in Dublin for January so I will watch that later.

We're flying Ryanair though.

Another crosswind landing video which has been plastered all over the tabloid papers

Those noise bunds can't help with the runway not being alligned with the prevailing winds.

The Tabloid newspapers just love BHX windy landings, they do however kinda go over the top about it though.

They go over the top with just about everything.

Excellent! Were the shots taken from Sheldon Country Park? I've never been there but have read the name many times in these pages.

Also, which is the church steeple in the background?

The Church of England Parish Church of Saint Peter is Norman and was built in 1140.

The Parish covers the village of Bickenhill itself and the town of Marston Green. Also in the Parish are Birmingham International Airport, the National Exhibition Centre, and the National Motorcycle Museum.

The Parish is crossed by two major roads: the M42 and the A45. The A45 is referred to locally as the Coventry Road

Many thanks, BrumX.

If I am not mistaken,that TCX video was taken from the A45 end as it was landing on 33.
You can see the fire station on the right hand side towards the end of the video.
Therefore it cannot be Bickenhill Parish church as you can see that from Sheldon country park looking back down the runway from the 15 end.
I can only guess that it is Yardley church.

But that is exactly where haassan took the video, from Sheldon Country Park looking back down Runway 15 ???? I dont understand what you are saying.

I stand corrected BrumX.I was looking at the wrong video!!

No worries mate, i was just trying to understand what you was saying.

Regarding the church steeple, it looks quite a long way from the runway centre line when filmed from the country park when in actual fact it's only a 4 minute walk from the 33 approach hence the red lights at night. Don't know why it never occurred to us to hop off the bus at 'The Clock' and spot from the 33 approach, would have loved to have seen something big, noisy and dirty from there (707, DC8 etc)
