Too many people say they are landing but in actuality it's more of an "arrival" than anything else.

Lol!

I've been in a few commercial flights that proves this also applies to the big boys.

You sure got that one right!!!!!

You go and try plopping a few hundred tons down on a runway in turbulence and I'll watch from the sidelines too. They do a good job as a rule and anyone can have an off landing. The trick is not to be too far off.

BTW - the new Airbus A-380 has a max takeoff weight of 650 US tons.
