Air China Flight 986 (747-400 Combi) - Landing at Beijing

[@ZhangtheGreat]

@victoriaindigo, you would be correct. Air China went 47 years without a major accident (its first was on a Beijing to Pusan, South Korea, flight in 2002 when the pilot, trying to land in fog, had the tail of his plane hit a mountainside as he was turning).

After watching this video back in 2009, I and my kids went to China in 2011.

[@skidv25]

All electronic devices are supposed to be off when the plane is about 20 - 30 minutes from the airport, so you really are not allowed to film landings (or take-offs, for that matter). However, flight attendants are usually seated during this time so it's fairly easy to do.

[@esdenaze]

got to love the sound when the reversers kick in

[@glasswings21]

that was an amazing landing hats off to the pilot!

[@civagiarn]

I love Beijing, it reminds me of Bulgaria, it is a beautiful place!

[@Wookierabbit]

Great video. I am going to take the same flight in the next few months and it will be my first time to travel on AirChina. How and what are the meals? How is the interior and service? And what is a combiversion 747? Thanks.

Beautiful China. Also see "Vision of Puerto Rico" on this channel. There are many Chinese Puerto Rican. They call themselves "Chirico" meaning half Chinese and half Puerto Ricans. There is a beautiful China Town in Puerto Rico, and several Chinese Restaurants all over the 78 Cities of Puerto Rico. Also see "Landing in San Juan, Puerto Rico".

[@vwsambabus]

nice landing

[@jezrelnyc2000]

Is that smog? or just bad weather? Bcoz most of the airplane landing videos in china that I watched are pretty much the same SMOGGY, but Air China has a good service though. and btw the wing is really dirty.

[@audude08]

Also, Air China joined Star Alliance and China Southern joined Skyteam just about a year ago. So of course they got to be the best.

[@gluca90]

[@Wookierabbit]

Thanks.

[@Wookierabbit]

I don't know if my message got through. Brief statement. How and what are the meals? Services and Interior?

[@Templemain]

I fly to China once a year on average. Air China is the best for value. U want perfect, stay home. U want interesting visit China. You want problems U will find plenty. You want 2 find just the most amazing people God has ever had the grace to create, you will find them too. Don't even try to change China, change your attitude toward a people who like U just want only to survive. U have not lived until U visit them U will die uninformed if U don't. It's an amazing place.

@gluca90 San Francisco

[@strongbow200]

@kitty TehCat I don't think have a clue where an aircraft is built,or how wings are made,they are supposed to flex,if they didn't flex then we would have a serious problem,its the same as a building,buildings are supposed to sway in strong winds,if they didn't sway then they would come crashing down to earth,get your facts right next time

[@victoriaindigo]

I take it Air China is better than the dreaded China Airlines? (In terms of safety?)

[@KittyTehCat]
