Re: Beautifully done.

Regarding the second video, let me tell you that Madeira's airport is fairly safe now comparing to what it used to be before its runway expansion from 1800m to the current 2780m. It was quite (in)famous among pilots for its extremely rough conditions and passengers used to brake with their feet as the plane touched down (the breaking was really hard then). Another brilliant thing was (and still is, to a point) that as part of the runway is built over the sea shore all you see during the approach phase, as a passenger, is water all around… you really need to trust the pilot!
