I live near the highest airport in England, Leeds/Bradford and our local news has me cringing when they report of planes TRYING to land in wild winds..

Yep. Nothing would persuade me to board a plane in the weather we’ve seen today and those pilots who have had to brave the conditions deserve our admiration. I’ve seen a few hair raising videos today, including a huge Airbus A380 landing - I think it was at Gatwick. Huge skill and massive responsibility - all those lives.

I could cry with sheer admiration and respect for pilots landing aircraft's in this storm, or any storm.
