Never let anyone tell you that today's automated cockpits make basic flying skills any less neccessary. As an example, take a look at these two extraordinary videos of B757s landing at Tegucigalpa, Honduras. On the second video note just how far out they are when the radio altimeter makes the "100" call. American runs eleven 757s in here each week.

How many years of being a bush pilot in Alaska do you need before being qualified to land here?
Thats worse than the old Hong Kong airport.
Awesome video clips!
