Rio: watching a plane landing on a very short runway


The runway comes into view...
Captured in living colour by your Rio correspondent: a plane landing among mountains, over water, on a very small target: a short runway with no margin for error. 

Taking aim...

Screech of tyres as it veers left

...still on course...

100...50...

10!

Hand brake on!

Full reverse thrust!
