We live near LBA. The OH's brother lives in Belfast. Only direct way is FlyBe Dash 8 from LBA to BHD. Always fun!

That Korean is pretty much a carbon copy of my landing I did in Amsterdam on the 18th. Apparently part of our delay getting in there was down to some of the terminal roof blowing off.. My favourite bumpy landing video: https://youtu.be/RfaNapjz8K4
Wasn't as rough as my approach in to Edinburgh four days before

Aren't all Dash 8 landings that entertaining? I've arrived sideways on the Isle of Man on one.
We use Dash 8-300s here to move about. Judging by the way they are flown I get the impression they are fairly "chuckable". Always feel safe but they seem to do a few manoeuvers I'm not used to on jets!Amsterdam seem particularly prone to wind, flying in there before Christmas, approached the runway at an abnormal angle, touched down, then took off again!
No, just no...
Had a few hairy flights running up and down to Bristol but recently had my first Dash experience going to Birmingham... return was probably a mild breeze by these standards but still reduced me to rattling wreck in the bogs afterwards!
Will stick to the M6 from here I think!

Shame no-one flies an A380 on my route: wind? What wind?

Funnily enough I had to travel back from Milan yesterday, and thanks to travel options to get to Birmingham I had to fly KLM through Amsterdam. Not too much of an issue I thought, slightly longer trip, but better planes than Flybe and some unexpected Flying Blue points.
Then that storm that was going round Europe landed on the runway we were trying to land at. Pilot aborted the landing and went for another one, only for the storm to hit that one when we were circling round. 20 minute in a Cloud with constant turbulence, and I made the mistake of looking out at the wing. Our 737 was doing a seagull impression.
We eventually made it down on the 3rd attempt, and on the way out I made sure the stewards were getting the pilot a beer afterwards.
Biggest issue is I have to fly out to Amsterdam again on Monday, and at this point, I never want to get on a plane ever again....

Think I must be some kind of adrenaline junkie, I've been a regular flier for over a decade now and every time I'm on a plane I wish for turbulence, I'd have paid double to be on the plane in the OP's video....
Only ever experienced it once, and even then it was so minor as to barely be noticeable.... didn't stop the nervous types screaming though!
That said, I'm the same on cross channel ferries, I've had some seriously rough crossings on those over the years but would still love rougher....

Reminds me of a flight from Birmingham to Barcelona. My Americanooooo mate who’d flown corporate all over the world a zillion times was having a right old laugh at me who hadn’t hardly flown at the time and my worries of turbulence and the plane falling out the sky. Only ever experienced it once, and even then it was so minor as to barely be noticeable.... didn't stop the nervous types screaming though!

We couldn’t sit together on the flight. Coming into land the plane was all over the place, and we landed with a right old bump. I hardly thought anything of it, well until it took me 10 minutes to unstick him from his seat. He was absolutely petrified. ....... By all accounts it was a very bad landing.
As I’d hardly traveled by plane before, I hadn't a clue. Sometimes ignorance is bliss
