Gorgeous Video Shows The Aerodynamics Of A Plane Landing

This is a Swiss Air Airbus A340 landing through the fog at Zurich airport. The video is beautiful, but what's great is how it shows what happens around the wings of your plane as you land.

Thanks to the lights illuminating the fog, you can see clearly the downwash, ground effect, and the wingtip vorticies in action.
