Check out this awesome video that was uploaded a couple of days ago capturing several crosswind landings and takeoffs on a stormy day at Dusseldorf Airport. Truly amazing.
With the exception of a root canal, nothing gives me the warm and fuzzies quite like TSA workers singing. They did it last year at LAX, and they’re doing it again this year. Check out the video of them singing. They’re actually pretty decent.
Though I do still prefer the Bar and Grill Singers’ version of “Leaving on a Jet Plane.”

I’m sure many of you have already seen this, but I can’t help but share. Air New Zealand just unveiled one of their Boeing 777-300ERs that’s in an all black paint scheme, to commemorate their rugby team.
Check out the video:
Seriously, that’s the sharpest looking plane I’ve ever seen. The 777-300ER is a sleek plane, and I’ve never seen a sleeker paint job.
Love it? Hate it? Lote it?
Check out this awesome video about Emirates’ catering facility in Dubai:
Fortunately I’ve had the opportunity to tour a catering facility, and it really is a miracle how everything comes together. For anyone that hasn’t had the opportunity, this video has some pretty good insight.

Check out Lufthansa’s latest (brilliant) ad, which is in German:
C’mon, that’s easily one of the most kick-ass ads ever. And for anyone that doesn’t know who the kid denies the autograph from, it’s the captain of Bayern Munich and the German National Team.
I posted earlier in the week about Alec Baldwin being kicked off an American Airlines flight for, well, being himself. Well, he appeared on SNL last night as the captain of his flight to issue himself an apology on behalf of American Airlines.
What a _____. I’ll let you guys fill in the blank.
Zurich Airport has some amazing videos they’ve put together, which should be pay per view for any airplane geek.
For example, check out this film they made, entitled “Departures.” They describe it as:
The film is about three passengers departing from Zurich Airport to Boston. All three are very fascinated by the happenings at the airport and around their aircraft. Experience the fascination of flying up close and enjoy the pictures and sound!
Though to be mildly critical I will say that while I love the film for the tarmac views, I have no clue why they tried to incorporate three people into it and make some kind of a story. That aspect of it really doesn’t develop enough to make it interesting, in my opinion. And to see which of you are actually paying attention, can anyone notice the major break in flow/inconsistency in the film?
Even cooler is the film they made earlier, entitled “Summertime.” Amazing tarmac views, and no boring story line to go along with it.
And I have to say, the film is even sexier on my new 27″ iMac. I love this thing.

Check out this time lapse video taken at Frankfurt Airport. Easily one of the coolest things ever!

This is beyond hilarious. When I saw the description I asked myself how funny it could really be, though it’s possibly the funniest (and truest) 50 second video ever.
