Video: Flying into Quito, the old tricky airport

[Orest @ CYFD]

2.7+ million views, a nicely produced eight camera in-cockpit video of a Lufty freight MD-11 arrival into the old Quito airport. At 10000ft MSL, bordered by mountains at either end of the runway, obviously a spec-qualification type airport.

In German with english subtitles, but of course the in cockpit discourse is in english. I flew into this old Quito airport on a Delta 757, on the way to the Galapagos Islands, it was an exhilarating approach.



Enjoy. I did.
