AMAZING LANDINGS
Airport : Iquitos, Amazon basin Peru
Flight : Lima / Iquitos
Airline : LAN PERU
Plane : Airbus A-319

Every time I fly pay special attention to flight details and plane behavior during every second of the trip. My favorite parts of the flights are the take-offs, turbulence and especially the landings.

It might sound strange that I like turbulence, but for an aircraft enthusiast like me, turbulence allows me to appreciate the real dynamics of an airplane as it goes through adverse weather or crosswinds.

These is a video of the amazing landing from one of my most recent destinations, Iquitos Peru (in the Amazon Jungle), where clearly you can see the winding Amazon river near the airport runway.

Enjoy it and fasten your seat belts…
