How could a 737 possibly land this way?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlAN0FHpDNA&feature=related
It appears to be a European beer commercial, but looks pretty real;
funny as hell anyway.
Question from non-pilot: I live in the Atlanta metro area, and
see all kinds of aircraft flying over all the time...helicopters,
small private planes, corp jets, pipeline inspection planes,
military aircraft (air base pretty nearby), and airliners higher
up, leaving and coming into Hartsfield. I know there
are restricted areas where leisure fliers and such can't
fly over, but can g.a. pilots fly pretty much where they
want to? Fly around as you please with just keeping
an eye out for other craft? Seems like there'd be more
near-misses and collisions if that's the case.

Yeah, Heineken, i think. Doesn't look too real and I've never seen an
airplane do anything like that, but one of ous 757s had a porpoising
incident and I have seen the reconstruction from the recorder and it
looked remarkably similar.

GA pilots can't fly in controlled airspace ithout the same clearance as
anyone else, but they can fly unrestricted in quite a lot of low level
airspace. There are "rules of the road" and procedures which keep it
pretty safe, as well as just plain looking out the window, which works
better than you think.

it is just a big model aircraft.
good enough to suck the noddies in.
why does it seem like there would be near misses? the sky is large and
aeroplanes small.
you have no worries about opposing road traffic that whizzes past in
the other direction separated by a 6 inch wide paint line.
btw you have no idea about where light aircraft can fly. we can fly
into all the largest airports if we fit in with the process of control
they use.
think of an aeroplane as a speedboat in a different fluid.

Yes, I find driving on two lane highways at highway speed much more
worrisome than flying. Head on collisions are frightening:

If you thought about it hard enough, you would leave yours.

The clip has been obviously edited, and poorly. I saw on some site,
probably YouTube, what was purported to be the original footage, which
was astounding enough without manipulation.
