“Sometimes, what a pilot sees in a day, people won’t see in their lifetimes,” says The Willy Balls who posted this breathtaking video taken from the cockpit of an airplane as it approached the Queenstown airport in New Zealand.
A New Zealand pilot has captured an incredibly stunning video of a landing in thick cloud at Queenstown Airport.
The former Jetstar captain posted the bird's eye view clip from the cockpit, showing the incredible sight - or lack thereof - when landing a plane on a runway.
The videoshows a clear run through the snow-capped mountains, until he hits cloud cover - which removes his visibility completely.
As he dips beneath the clouds, the captain's visibility turns to white cloud for at least 30 seconds, before he re-emerges from the cover to clear skies ahead of the runway.
