If like me stuck you are at home a little bored, this might entertain you for a few minutes

Some crazy landing and go arounds.

Touch and go just now. Mental, utterly mental. Kudos to the pilots.

Crikey..... supersonic!

Not sure on the physics but it wasn’t supersonic something to do with airspeed as opposed to ground speed :confused:

Correct, airspeed was subsonic, ground speed was supersonic.

Explainable in basic terms or is in depth?

As a frequent transatlantic flyer i'd still prefer the scheduled flight time. You can't get any decent sleep on a 4 hour 56 min flight once all the meals and such are taken into account.

Spot the business class flyer

Some crazy landings in that video, does anyone have a timestamp for the touch and go incident?

It was his first one ever captured so I’m sure it will be on his channel as some point.

I’m in surrey and can hear lots of low planes - perhaps the stack has been changed due to the wind?

3pm runway direction changes at Heathrow, so might be that. Was certainly a fun afternoon yesterday watching.
