Plane lands on mountain peak
A fully laden super jumbo A380 sometimes needs 11,000ft of runway to take-off, but what about landing on the top of an 11,000ft-high mountain?
That is the job for a Piper PA-18 Super Cub, not to mention a super pilot.
AirlineRatings.com has sourced a spectacular video of a pilot landing his Super Cub on the top of Bunker Hill, Nevada at an altitude of 11,000ft.
And to add to the extreme difficulty the pilot has to battle strong winds racing across the mountain ridge.
To compensate for the strong winds the pilot skilfully dips his wing into the direction of the wind and only at the last minute returns to straight and level flight.
