Yep! Last time I flew into Midway the landing was like that... pilot hit the brakes HARD as soon as we touched and if you didn't have your seat belt fasted right you would be splattered on the seat in front of you! LOL

I live about 9 miles away but directly under the landing path. When we built the house 55 years ago, Midway was mostly used by small, private planes - almost all propellers - and the noise was barely noticeable. Now with the big jets, I can't have a conversation outside when planes are flying overhead. Around the airport - I frequently do business there - the noise outside is of course, very loud. But it's brief and I suppose it's easy to get used to.

@IIOctaneII3 жыл бұрын
@@rnman99 Jets are quieter then they were back then. Plus it’s not like the airport uses just one runway for landings. On some days they don’t even use 31C or 4R for landing because the wind doesn’t blow in that direction for a week/few days, giving people under the approach a break from the noise.

@captainkent84703 жыл бұрын
I’m actually not sure what you’re asking here. We were not holding short of anything on landing. Perhaps it seems that way because this aircraft has very powerful reverse thrust and stops pretty quickly compared to some other aircraft. We were simply stopping normally and making the first turn off we could safely make. But, thanks for your comments!

You will run into tens of millions of people on social media who have spent their entire lives in their mother’s basement in front of a flatscreen, and are thus unable to distinguish the difference between real life and simulations.

Most of these videos will have actual imagery spliced together with simulations, and even though it’s blatantly obvious which is which, you will find battles raging in the comment section between one group of people who think it’s all fake because “lookee here, lookee there” and another group of people that think it’s all real. 🤨🤨🤨 #SomeCrazyShitGoingOn!
