I can't seem to embed a video on this 'blogspot' blog. If the link doesn't work (it isn't working for me!) copy and paste it into your browser. You'll have to endure a 13 second commercial first. Argh.
When you hear the repetitive voice saying "landing gear" don't worry. 'She' just senses that the wheels are too close to the ground.
Pretty impressive. This is what the additional resources are doing for us. THANK YOU!
Amazing video! Thanks for posting. Also shared on my Facebook.
