Great tape BMI-Star, I watched the aircraft concerned on final approach from my home in Horsforth at about five to one on Thursday afternoon. Wow, did he have to fight those vicious winds and turbulence! I lost sight of him over the rooftops and couldn’t believe it when I heard on my air-band radio that he had managed to land – I was sure he would have had to make a go-around.

I’d just driven up from Leeds city centre and had all on just to keep my car on the road! The Pilot deserves a medal; next time I fly Jet2, I’ll be well pleased if he’s in the front seat. Great work too by the ATC Controller, nice and calm, must have been reassuring to the flight crew.
