So we've got Dudley today and tomorrow and Eunice on Friday so thought I'd start a thread. Dudley has barely hit here in Edinburgh and already there's a flight from LHR struggling to land.

Bloody hell Vienna!!!!

Maerchentante · 18/02/2022 10:48

That Vienna flight landing made me feel quite sick just by watching.

AnyName1 · 18/02/2022 10:48

I felt sick watching that landing in Heathrow.

Bloody hell, heart in my mouth watching that!

Do you see Vienna on big jet??? 😱😱😱😱

EduCated · 18/02/2022 10:48

Joining and lurking, need some distraction from real life. Lisbon next!

Well I’m not going to be doing a lick of work today 😂

Oh that was so scary watching Vienna landing…really have got to go and have a shower now!

UsernameIsNotAvailableRightNow · 18/02/2022 10:49

Feel like I'm going to be sick just watching. Imagine being on it 🙈

That pilot deserves a medal for even attempting to get that thing down! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
LittleSnakes · 18/02/2022 10:49

I didn’t know that’s bout the two attempts before going somewhere else.

ErrolTheDragon · 18/02/2022 10:49

Paris to Bristol circling neatly at 12000ft.

Ocsetldil · 18/02/2022 10:50

Did anyone else’s app go from 650 ft to 0 on the Vienna landing? There will be a lot of people heading for the bar after that flight!

CaveMum · 18/02/2022 10:51

We're going to need a new thread soon!

36,000 people watching on YouTube apparently - most of them from Mumsnet!

Maerchentante · 18/02/2022 10:51

They should have some medicinal alcohol on hand at LHR for all the passengers coming off flights that actually managed to land.

BabbleBee · 18/02/2022 10:51

Lisbon was by far the worst so far - wow did that wobble!

Charliesgotachocolatefactory · 18/02/2022 10:52

I am going to get no work done today as I have been glued to big jet for the last half hour!

It seems to do that at the end, I suppose the altitude tracking isn't quite accurate
CaveMum · 18/02/2022 10:52

Flight from San Francisco coming in shortly, god you wouldn't want to be diverted after a flight that long!

Pthagonal · 18/02/2022 10:52

I can't believe that Paris to Bristol flight is going around again!

Budapest coming in soon for the third attempt

I am so not going to get any work done today

ErrolTheDragon · 18/02/2022 10:52

Edinburgh climbing away from lhr

CaveMum · 18/02/2022 10:53

@ErrolTheDragon and @Ocsetldil I think it's what is referred to as a "hard landing" Wink

Disclaimer, all of my plane knowledge comes from listening to radio show Cabin Pressure!

Pennox · 18/02/2022 10:53

Come on San Fran! I've been on this flight a few times and these poor buggers want to get home
