Saw this on Beeb weather site the other day, awesome.

As Tut says, reckon the pilots were definitely earning their money that day.

Believe the mountain range responsible is the Picos di Europa. Well worth a vist. By car though. Not plane ;-)

Is the first one not a departure? I thought it was just a bit of wind sheer. It does seem to get airborne in a bit of a rush.

A good landing and you can walk away
A great landing and they can use the plane again.

Presume he was trying to beat the skydivers back to base. Nuts.
