Nicely done Steve. This is, of course, standard operating procedure at Heathrow and 9 times out of 10 it works, but not always. This Iceair pilot is an ace! He definitely saved that Delta another trip round! Good stuff.

@@HeathrowAircraft Very smooth! It's quite something how United and Delta still operate their ageing 767's to LHR...

@Ahyan Remtulla. Yes - wonder for how much longer? It’s good to see the -400 series - not many of those around compared to the -300 we normally see.

@@HeathrowAircraft Hopefully for a while longer. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I think the Delta 767's, United 767's & 777's (and the odd 757 we get of their's here), BA's 777 and some IAE powered A319's are the only 'old' aircraft remaining at LHR. I remember as if it were only yesterday, when United used to operate their 'Queen of the Skies' at EGLL!

@@ahyanremtulla yes you’re right - it would be good to see the odd Queen of the skies again - i know Singapore and Cathay operate cargo flights - but they are v infrequent now - and no pax 747s sadly at all😞

@landy man. Hiya yes it was - Delta was v close behind and would otherwise have to do a go around. Loved the reverse thrust on the Iceland 767. Interesting to see how much quicker ice 767 stopped compared with the Delta 767……
