airstrips

Just before landing, the plane drops several hundred feet, Then it takes a sharp U turn and then suddenly touches down at strange angle. Cabin is full of the sound of air and ground brakes as the plane stops. I thank the God and the seat belts, that kept me from smashing into the seats in front. Plane has finally come to a halt and It is all over.

This was not a crash landing. It was just another ordinary Boeing 757 landing at Toncontín International Airport in Honduras.

I have flown well over the country and beyond. I don’t know about any other airport that can compare to Runway 02 at Toncontín International. Its not an airport, It is like a hurdle race. Every possible danger that you can associated with a landing strip is available. Take a good look at following pictures of Runway 02 of TIA, Honduras.
