Always had a photo of this 747, but only recently came across the actual video of the aircraft landing.

I know what you mean :)

There's a photo of it here. If you go to the remarks at the bottom of the page theres a link to another photo - taken at the same time but from a different angle.

That looks like a road between the beach and the runway. Wonder if they have ever had problems with high sided vehicles? Wouldn't like to be sitting on the top row of a double decker bus :)
