Awesome scenery

I can't find a way to embed the video on the blog here, you'll have to go to the website.  It's a video shot from the cockpit of a passenger jet landing in Queensland, New Zealand.

The part where they fly into the clouds and have to rely on their instruments to guide them would have me puckered up so damn hard they'd have to unscrew me from the seat, especially when the last thing you see before you go into the clouds is a big mountain right in front of you.

So... stratogranite clouds?

Hell if I know. I'm just happy I'm not the one behind the conrols at that point.

At some point ya gotta trust that the pilot is no more suicidal than you are. And a helluva lot more skilled.
