Now that Boeing hired their own armed private air marshals, everyone claps, or they might meet dispatch. /s
“I’m hearing a whole lot of whistles blowing in this section of the aircraft…”
I was recently on a flight where the first landing attempt was aborted due to low visibility and we looped around (the entire Metro area) to try again. After the second attempt succeeded there was indeed clapping.
Define “land” - if a part falls off but you survive it, does that still count? :-P
A good landing is one you walk away from.
A great landing is one where you can still use the airplane afterwards.
Look at Mr. Fancy flight pants over here with his high demands!
We now call that an Air Bus.
gunshots
all planes land. it’s the speed of the descent that matters.
I thought only polish people do this. Although to be fair I’ve only been flying with other poles.
It seems to be an Eastern Europe thing for sure, maybe ex-communist countries?
Possibly? It definitely comes from a very different time. I always thought of this as a kind of national embarassement but now I learn it’s not just a polish thing.
I’ve noticed that recently when older poles try to start a clap most younger ones scoff at them and roll their eyes and it fizzles out very quickly

Now this a real meme lol
Don’t call it cringe if you haven’t landed on Palermo airport on a small jetplane yet. It’s what I think a rocket launch should feel like.
If you are flying on 737 Max is good clap your hands while you still have them

kayak and turkish airlines now show which plane is assigned to the flight. I avoid buying tickets for Boeing flights.
Everyone claps in my country on landing. Is it that uncommon?
