Yes that was the one it went stright in to Mount Teide on its approach to the old airport. I looked in to things later on and that same aircraft was the one we had been on the yr before. Some place I still have a book that me dad gave me to take the numbers of the planes at the airport while waiting for our holiday flights.
A bit of an anorack thing but I was just a kid and these planes amazed me and so I collected all the numbers while we was at the airport save getting board.
This thread sort of made me think as only two yrs back on a flight back from Skopalos to manc we where coming in to land and could see the runway below us,
so that shows how low we where.
When all of a sudden the nose end went right up the engines roared and up we went with the masks dropping out and hand luggage flying all over the place.
word went around that another plane had crossed the runway to the other runway
while we where on our approach.
I thought the thing was going to shake its self apart untill we leveled out and had to circle for another ten mins.
Dont let it worry you at all flying is great its just the mind makes things seem worse when you judder or hit some CAT.
planes are built to take one hell of alot of punishment so dont worry sit down strap in and enjoy the movie( Airport 77)
