Cockpit view Landing through thick cloud
Sound On and Full Screen

Known as the land of the long white cloud, so if you fly into NZ you could well encounter this scenario.
Hold on to your seat.

This is spectacular. I often have wondered why the airline industry doesn't have a live video feed from the aircraft's nose streamed into the cabin in order to amuse and bedazzle their weary travellers. This is the descent into Queenstown , New Zealand . It must take great faith in your instruments to pilot an approach like this but the rush must be amazing.

Wonderful, makes you realise how much responsibility is in a pilot's hand. I really respect them for the job they do.

Puts a whole new perspective on landing with a front view instead of side, would be amazing to actually see the landing as it was happening, could be a little bit frightening though. Well done to the pilots.
