For real?

Your father was clearly a great pilot and got to fly one of the greatest airliners ever made. Couldn’t ask much more from a career in aviation

👍👍👍👍

Bless your dad, I've been an aviation geek all my life.. could I go back in time I would have studied to be a pilot. I so admire the hand flying skills into this airport and it must have been fun as well as challenging. It must have been even more fun in the 757. Boeing's greatest plane...... RB211's too. Big respect to your top draw dad.🖖

Flew Captain on the B-757 for many years in MIA. Tegucigalpa is the ONLY airport I never got qualified in. I flew Quito mostly but most all other B-757 and B-767 destinations as well. I also flew the Airbus 300 and retired on the B-777. I may have known your dad!

shit! What happened when the plane crashed?

@@stratotega The plane's pilots had not accounted for a wet runway at Toncontín, which led to the aircraft overshooting the runway and ending up in the streets.

Also it was the pilot's first time landing here. Pilots require a special training to land in Tegucigalpa. The runway had been slightly increased in length.....but its still a complicated approach anda difficult landing

@@anawaleskaburgosflores7364 NO, in fact the pilot of TACA 390 was a very skilled captain with over 11.000 hours of flying experience, he also has flown this very route often so he had over 50 accumulated landings in Tegucigalpa alone. But he still missed to put his plane's weight into the equation of parameters necessary to safely land at this airport; as the stop-over there would only be the first of a three-leg flight to Miami (Florida), so he was still too heavy for a runway this short in this wet weather conditions of that day.

I was in 7th grade when that happened! I was at school in Tegucigalpa when we heard the news. Glad you are okay now

+lenny zaroff Living in those countries now you better be afraid... I believe this airport has been closed...

+irish89055 nope .. still working like normal. they're trying to close it but they don't know yet.

I have been at that spot many years ago, and it is a bit scary to see a plane flying by so close to you. It was easy to think the landing gear could possibly hit you. In fact, a plane’s landing gear clipped a bus or truck when the road was close by the edge of the runway - the driver was jailed for many years for not heeding the traffic light which turned red when planes approached.. No injuries. Since then, they removed part of the hill to extend the runway, and moved the road. But it still is a dangerous, short runway surrounded by low mountains.

@@irish89055 no is not

Should be scared _hitless...

+mudmanz250 Well, if I were that GPWS, I would have short-circuited. Although I think that it was set in a way so it didn't went nuts.

there are particular settings so you can turn those alerts off. Usually in areas where it is redundant, the GPWS terrain mode etc is turned off, as far as I know.. i might be wrong.

Terrain...sink rate....pull up....

Indeed!

Carla L. nah

disagree. Pilots are trained well for these approaches. much like old Hong Kong kai .

Not really "skill". Everyone gets trained to do these approaches when they get their license.

Yesss

David Bushman i think the Toncontin International Airport is going to be replaced by the new one the government is building in Comayagua city, it’s going to be located 52Miles (85km) north of Tegucigalpa.

Who is Hector

Jajaja

Mexa we :v

Jejejejeje nunca escribo comentario pero no hay muchos en español

yo 😆

Saludos Paisano!

Justin V he missed the runway.

@@josephdale69 this is one of the most dangerous approaches in the world, missing the landing threshold by 10-20 ft isnt that big of a deal, especially when flying in a larger aircraft such as a 757-200. It takes a lot of skill to land there. Also he didn’t miss the runway, he missed the threshold by 10-20ft, the threshold is still a part of the runway.

It’s all a matter of training. Simulators help you to be proficient before the first real life approach.

This comments was 6 years ago....but i don't mind... What time?? I mean time stamp?

😂😂😂no kidding

People actually clap right after they land haha.. It's surreal.

😂

Patrick Conlon Hi there, i think the Toncontin International Airport is going to be replaced by the new one the government is building in Comayagua city, it’s going to be located 52Miles (85km) north of Tegucigalpa.

Very ironic that it used to be called TNT 😅

Sorry about your parents.. It's cool how you know all about that airport.

Keegan Gidley Thank you! We had, over the years, a lot of experiences flying in Honduras. My parents knew Mr. Yerex, the founder of TACA Airlines. He was a one-eyed soldier of fortune from New Zealand who flew all over the Mountains of Central and South America with that lack of depth perception caused by being blind in one eye. When they flew with him in his personal plane, Mr. Yerex would do the take-off and landing, and let my mother fly the plane once they were aloft...

well deserved ovation....

Lang Lloveras Your explanation is quiet right and good for me, thanks. I am a Japanese and went to Tegucigalpa and San Pedro sula twice (in 1980 and 1991). The reason I went to Honduras was to buy sesame and coffee beans for Japan. At that time maybe the both cities were more safe and calm than now and I had good memory to the country. Yes, I experienced passengers' (standing?) ovations when the plane landed safely.

+Keiji Kita Thank you. I enjoyed hearing about your experiences there, as well.

Make that 2021

No hermano, los políticos y la delincuencia es lo malo, nuestra tierra una belleza🙏😉

@@rafaellopez5817 la infraesctructura tambien es una mierda aqui solo hay bellezas naturales como cualquier otro pais en infraescturas estamos atrasados edificios viejos, calles en mal estado, estadios complejos deportivos en precariedad, etc etc.

@@gabrielsanchez4656 son duda hermano, es el resultado del maldito cancer de los políticos

¿No? La CA 5 es la mejor autopista de CA, y el aeropuerto de Palmerola ya funciona. Tegucigalpa va creciendo en infraestructura junto con SPS (cosa que no ocurre ni en Panamá, que sólo CD Panamá avanza). Dejen de tirarle mi*rda al país.

@@gabrielsanchez4656 No maje. No estamos tan mal como otros de CA, al menos (No menciones Costa Rica porque a esos todo se lo hicieron los chinos)

Shut up

RJ runway overruns are common in Toncontin, so pilot was being cautious

@@AaronOrtiz No...the pilot landed prior to the displaced threshold..not allowed...but I dont think anybody is going to make a stink about it. If they touched down just few feet later I would applaud.

theedrstrangelove I landed there twice in 95-96. It's a bit nerve-wracking.

What were you even doing in Honduras in the 80s? Let me guess, coke and hookers.

@@maryanngordon8450 Hi. Nice to hear from you¡ wow I am surprised. Yes I also fly in SAHSA few times. The Tegus airport is something else. Had you returned to Honduras?

I've been on planes that landed there several times. Good pilots!
