Recorded from 0300Z to 0500Z on 10th October 2024, when Tampa International Airport was bursting with activity on Expert Server due to Hurricane Milton!
Nearly 100 takeoffs and landings are in the video, many of whom are community members here. Each takeoff or landing is labelled with the callsign, username and aircraft type.
Please let me know if there is anything I can improve on, and if there’s something you particularly enjoyed/disliked. Thank you!
Btw, my own landing is at 15:35 :)
That’s…a bit… dangerous and crazy at the same time. Anyway, a video full of pleasure to watch:)
Am I featured in the video as Air Canada 777😅
Did ATC that evening of the hurricane and it was one of the most fun sessions i’ve had in awhile. Knew pilots were there to face a challenge, was more relaxing than strict. Had my camera on the end of the runways to watch the landings.
The highlight was someone in a 172 trying to hold short of the runway but the winds kept lifting them off the ground.
Cool video!
Hey, thanks for doing ATC and glad you were having fun as well. I agree that lightening up a bit is the right thing to do - after all there is no playbook for realism in 80 knot wind gusts 😂
Unfortunately I didn’t manage to record your flight :(
Cool vid. My hurricane hunters vo is based out of KBIX/KLAL so during a hurricane I’d also recommend KBIX as a spotting place, always filled with us c130s.
Will keep that in mind!
LOL I’m honored to finally be in one of these! The fact that my Southwest 737-8 was still holding on for dear life during auto-land just shows how insane the winds were. Fun times for sure but also very tough approach!
Will watch later!
Epic video, that was the strongest winds I’ve been in
Glad to have caught your landing!
10 minutes into the video im shocked that there was no go arounds or cancelled takeoffs but wow i guess there was trained well pilots
I think was the first time I used auto-land. I didnt see anything.
Nah all were just greasy hard landing or shaking take off lol
If irl pilots did that, airlines would be facing huge lawsuits 💀💀💀
Definitely. Flying in the hurricane is fun but by no means realistic at all!
Oh dear. Seems like you all had fun flying into the Hurricane
