Spectacular 777 landings @ BHX

Published on Dec 26, 2012 by flugsnug yo

Any 777 landing is impressive, but these are a bit special.

The last shot is the preceding one with the engines enlarged to highlight the vortices which spin up and over the wing from the little engine fins (strakes) at big wing tilts.

Birmingham Airport Runway Extension

Birmingham Airport's runway extension goes far beyond a few hundred metres of concrete. It will change the game for long-haul travel, create new jobs, open up trading opportunities and save thousands of miles in unnecessary surface journeys.

777 loud wake turbulence 'howl'

In the first of these two Emirates 777 landings, the weird 'howl' (can't think of a good word to describe it) from the wake turbulence peaks at around 50 seconds in the video - about 34 seconds after the plane has gone by. My experience is that 777's don't usually make much wake noise, but this is probably the loudest I have ever heard from any plane.

In the second landing, the wake is much less audible but its turbulence is very visible.

Testing out a new camera handheld.

This Russian 747 had diverted to Birmingham because of fog at Bruntingthorpe where it was headed to be scrapped. It left BHX Monday 3rd December 2012 on its final short hop - there is a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-wEDG623QE of its arrival a few minutes later at Bruntingthorpe.

Had to smile a bit at the convoy of vehicles which scoured the BHX runway immediately after departure.
