Emirates 777 spray and dust storms!
Three landings at Birmingham Airport/BHX/EGBB in summer 2013.
The first one is the most spectacular water spray performance I've seen to date. The plane approaches through a heavy shower which is just starting to leave the airfield, emerging from it into the brightness with reverse-thrust full on, looking like a dog shaking itself after a bath!
The third one must make the Emirates plane feel at home as its wake kicks up clouds of dust from the desert-like runway extension site (please note that the WIND direction is left to right).

757 close-up wing condensation and vortex show

Two Thomson 757's display lovely water effects on the wings on landing and takeoff, also some nice spray from the wheels. On a very wet day at Birmingham Airport (BHX) (the same day as the 777 water show http://youtu.be/gJcYDBIcC64 ) the saturated air allows water to condense into visible clouds and vortices where the pressure drops enough on and around the wings.

Pakistan International Airlines 777-200 landing BHX
Finally on 28th May 2013 in pouring rain I got to see my first PIA 777. In a year of filming at Birmingham Airport the inconvenient (for me) arrival time of the PIA flight PK791 meant I only ever got to see the Emirates 777, so it was a special moment to film "the other" 777 - and a super-smooth landing to celebrate!.
