There are live plane watching channels with talking heads?


Yeah, I have a fascination with aircraft and watch them at times.

The guy talking about it like he's doing color commentary at a sporting event is annoying.

Yikes, not great. But what a fantastic go-around video with the commentary, and also can we all acknowledge how beautiful the 747 is

That was kind of over the top. Most I watch just display graphical info and radio chatter.

My surprise was the play by play dude.

There are loads of railcams to watch trains on but I doubt any of them have a guy commenting on how the engineer got a great plume of smoke when he put it in 8.

That's two words you never want to see side-by-side, attempt(ed) & landing

This. Gotta catch that wire.

Air Force copilot probably tried the next one and we're at treetop level for the last 2 miles of final. But greased it.

I've been in a plane that had to abort a landing after touching the wheels and get the frick back in the air. It was absolutely terrifying as shite.

My wife was at home watching my plane come in on Flight Aware and was confused as shite when instead of stopping over the airport it just kept moving and started looping.

Any landing you walk away from is a good landing
