And how about those mighty Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4 engines! The RB211 and the 757 … brilliant … it doesn’t get much better than that engine/airframe pairing!

Flat earthers wya

СССР!!!

Is there deicing for the aricraft before take-off in Antarctica? if yes, do the have deicing trucks in Antarctica?

A sturdy, versatile aeroplane the 757.

I guess you could call it ice landair

4:01 hard landing 🤦🏻🤦🏻

J H C!!!, it looks like a Ryan Air flight landing at Bristol, do the same flight in Joe,s 1942 Douglas DC-4 Skymaster.

That runway is well prepared, no wonder the 757 landed without any bother, Pilots from Joe Mc Bryon,s Buffalo Air regularly land on unprepared ice strips in the Canadia Sub Arctic. Delivering fourteen tons of diesel to DEW Radar Sites in a hot rod a 1958 Lockheed L-188 Electra. No ponced up runway with fancy markers ,just bare ice, no anti skid brakes ,just sheer arse clenching piloting.

fantastic moment NAS Corporation....nice video

4:03 ryanair intensifies

stay out of environmentally critical areas. World has enough of research activities.

Not a single comment about where the passengers were going when they de-planed. I liked everything about this video, but I cannot think of a single reason why a tourist would want to go there. That place is cold, white and featureless. Repeat, COLD! 🙄

Awesome

I dream of being a pilot and flying to every continent, including Antarctica. I imagine it's a great experience to do something so rare and unusual as visiting Antarctica, and it would be especially fulfilling to resupply a remote research station and then bring people back home after a long tour so far from home, on the most inhospitable and distant place on the planet. This video is awesome and it's cool to see the crew so excited to make the trip, and also mindful of the unusual aspects of landing somewhere like that.

That had to be a 7000 foot runway for that plane to stop !!!

Looks like a pretty long runway to me

Wish I was there.

Love ❤️ and enjoy the Boeing 757. It’s a work Horse. Amen 🙏🏻

No big deal, US Air Force C141 landed in Antarctica, circa 1992.

How the hell did I never hear about this until the KZbin algorithm did its thing 6 years later!!!?

Icelandic pilots are the best. We were flying out of Kevlavik airport on a stormy night in november, wind gusts were about 70-80kmh and we were tossed around on the runway but they managed to bring us home safely :D

The 757 is so overpowered it is a natural fit for a job like this.

Hey everyone, let's fucking ruin the last pristine place on Earth so we can win at Instagram!!!

The 757 is the perfect aircraft. I have seen this plane take off and land so many times when I worked for a rental car agency where we were located at the end of the runway strip. A lot of airlines dumped this aircraft to quickly. Now they complain they need a medium aircraft for fights when this is what it was built for in the first place.

GREAT NEWS FOR THE BOEING COMPANY AND THE PILOTS. OUTSTANDING FOOTAGE ALSO. THANKS!

4:02 I literally shouted ‘OUCH!’

Well.....not sure at all WHY I'd want to leave my nice warm condo for... pure cold ? ... you can't fool me it is COLD and Windy,.... I can find snow on my local mountains.

I do not read videos!

Normally airlines fly 757s only to make economy passengers miserable.

757 continues to impress. Fantastic bird.

excellent video 👍🏔

Why the heck did Boeing stop 757 production?

Great. Let's fuck up another wilderness with tourisim.

The Thing slipped aboard the aircraft disguised as one of the crew.

Why is KZbin promoting tourism in Antarctica? 🧐

The newest 757 is 16 years old. This is the last place on earth that needs more tourists.

Chillian Spanish is hard to understand! It sounds like they are speaking Russian. Great to see there are sub titles!

The 757 is one of a kind.

Great job! Very nice to see the classic 757 still in action. Such a nice plane that Boeing should have never taken out of production.

here goes those stupid ryanair jokes

These people will pollute Antarctica too. Already humans have polluted every piece of earth now.

What if the plane goes tech and your stranded there, what do you do

This is a good video, thanks for sharing

I'm a former airliner landing gear engineer (math analysis, as opposed to design). I looped the few seconds of "hard" landing at the four-minute mark a few dozen times, and have the following educated guesses (vs certainties -- between the touchdown hidden by the runway's downslope plus that darn subtitle box, there's not enough visual information to be sure). Best guess: Not a hard landing -- just a bouncy one. Some background: * Typical airliner sink rate at touchdown is 4-6 fps. "Design" sink rate (threshold of structural damage) is 12 fps. Structural failure occurs at 15 fps (on paper, anyway -- MD-80 in flight test touched down at about 16 fps and broke the tail off, but not the gear). * Bounce or not-bounce is determined by several factors including sink rate, pitch rate, aircraft weight, shock strut inflation, and especially spoiler phasing. Spoiler deployment (usually by increments) is important for dumping enough wing lift quickly enough that the plane doesn't bounce back into the air (most commonly during a low sink rate landing) due to rebound of the compressed shock strut + tire ... but not so quickly that the landing is hard, or even worse that the shock strut bottoms metal-on-metal. * One telltale sign of a hard landing (or not) is what the wing does. Lots of deflection of course means lots of vertical deceleration, same as for any cantilevered beam. Now looking at what the video shows: * At touchdown, a bit of wing deflection but not much. * Maybe the gear leave the ground or maybe they don't. No way to tell from the video, though there appears to be a lot of rebound which as I indicated above is more about off-nominal parameters in general than a hard landing in particular. * Between what's happening with the main gear, and possibly pitch rate input from the pilot, a big pitch-down onto the nose gear and then back to the mains. * Some more "random" pitch motion from things like braking beginning and an imperfect runway profile. So all in all, a bouncy landing at maybe 8 fps? A bit harder than normal, but not particularly hard -- just exciting : ) Someone asked about the runway's friction. Effective friction coefficient (with antiskid operating) is in the 0.7-0.8 range on dry pavement, more like 0.4 for flooded pavement, 0.4-0.2 on packed snow, and 0.1-ish on ice. It all depends on the particulars of a given surface, but that gives you some idea.

Does George V work at Icelandic?

Further proof that the 757 is the BEST sky pencil and should be redone with new engines for future sales.

Does anyone know the ICAO code for this airport? Because I want to fly here in X-Plane 11 or Microsoft Flight Simulator.

next up lad plane on aircraft carrier

Daaanngggg ryanair landing in antarctica...
