the best performing commercial jet right here.........the short 9 outruns everything...........the pilots of this thing got some bravery to run it out of this field..........

Sketch landing. Hold the flair and bleed off speed, not sure why the pilot is pushing the nose towards the ground over the threshold. Gonna bounce everytime doing that.

Have you looked at the length and width of that runway? Nevermind the fact that there is basically no load coming back since no baggage, passengers or much fuel either. I imagine th ground effect must be pretty big..

That is a short runway he obviously needs to plant it on the numbers no point greasing the landing if you go off the end of the runway

The aircraft is light as a feather. The -21 behaved like a lovesick ferrari even fully loaded. They’ll need a few cycles to nail it.

The cost to maintain and staff that jet annually is thru the roof; be lucky to clear 10% when is all said and done. Nice to see aviation enthusiasts keeping that bird flight worthy. $200.00 for a ride is a bargain.

with a 5,100ft runway the only way this deal works is they can run small fuel loads and almost no cargo loads.........still a hairy operation........you for sure don't want any engine hicups at this place.......gotta go see a takeoff here for sure..............

GOL, LATAM and a few other carriers until not too long ago ran flights from Rio-Santos Dumont to as far as Brasília. 2hr flight, taking off from a 4340ft runway, using 737s and A320s

This is the old SAS DC9-21. It was made for short runways in remote locations in Norway with the short fuselage of the 10-series, but wings and engines from the 30-series. It was a custom series of aircraft only made for SAS. They are as close you can come to VTOL in a DC9. 😂

If you want to really see what the DC9-21 can do, look up "SAS DC 9 takeoff and short field landing Værnes 1996" here on KZbin. You will be amazed over how agile this aircraft is.

V-what!?! lol... It needs a hook for landing! Poor mechanics... Well, if they have some..
