Cleared for landing 18R

By rotating the image 15 degrees clockwise it appears the landing was a problem. In real life it was a perfect approach and landing spot on the landing zone of the runway.

This is a dramatized impression of landing on runway 18R (Polderbaan) at Schiphol airport. After a successful check flight last Sunday with a F100 over Norfolk and made several normal landings at Norwich airport we went back to Schiphol and during the landing I took this dramatized image. Flying is fun!

Funny thing after landing taxiing to the platform we (crew in cockpit) observed enthusiastic kids watching the aircraft. The F/O opened the cockpit window and waved back....wish I had take the picture of those kids....cheering and waving to the crew. It was a free commercial for my company :-)

NB: I'm not the pilot here, I'm the (technical) observer, the pilot flying had his hands fixed on the controls, so I had my hands free to make pictures. I know the priorities in the cockpit :-) Flying safe is always number 1

In the WS you'll find the original image....

Keep on flying folks!

The original image, as you can see the approach is spot on!
