Welcome to Baghdad Airport.
People had told me that the landing would be really bad, it was different, but not too bad. Instead of a normal landing they drop the landing gear while we are very high up and directly above the airport then proceed to make a very sharp dive and turn so that we corkscrew straight down onto the runway. The flight is commercial so it is a little funny to here the typical "make sure your seat backs are in their full upright" speech and then dive-bomb straight down.
