Skiathos - Dangerous LOW Landing with Exciting Cockpit View | The European SAINT MARTIN
Go to www.nordvpn.com/dpg or use a coupon dpg to get a 2-year plan plus a bonus gift with a huge discount!
Let me take you along to Skiathos, also known as the European Saint Martin. The runway is located directly at the beach, enabling spotters and aviation enthusiasts to watch the arriving and departing aircraft up close. It's a challenging approach because of the short runway and it's dangerous for spotters because of the low landings and jetblast.
The video shows what it's like to fly a visual approach into a Greek island. Interesting facts, approach charts, actual call-outs, checklists and procedures were added to provide a sense of everything that is going on inside the cockpit during the approach and landing. A low landing and visual approach from a cockpit point of view. Let me know what you think of this video guys!

Hi everyone!! I hope you like this approach and landing video featuring Skiathos! A lot has changed during the last years, were you able to spot all of the "hidden" changes in this video? I will give you a hint, the Earth's magnetic field 😏 Don’t hesitate to let me know what other videos you’d like to see. Have a great Sunday and again, thank you for watching! X Michelle FYI: The "dangerous" in the title refers to the jetblast created by the arriving and departing aircraft. The aircraft come in low over the adjacent road and beach area where people gather to see the aircraft up close. There are signs to warn people about this dangerous jetblast as well. If the approach or landing itself would be dangerous, we wouldn't fly there to begin with 😉 Safety is always our number one priority, without exception!
@ DutchPilotGirl , RWY 01 has changed to RWY 02!
@@anandshedde Not exactly but you are really close!
You did a visual approach
@@bernardbouzon5499 True, it's a visual approach but thats not uncommon, especially in Greece where most IFR procedures are based on NDB's and VOR's
Yes please keep these approach landings coming michelle! I don't wish to go as far as a commercial pilot but i definitely want to be a GA pilot someday so i'm really enjoying these. Great editing & choice of music too, i play Ooyy (Gelatin Nature) & Luwaks (Sidney) quite alot now thanks to you! Keep it up & stay well 👍🏿
Thank you, I love this format where your camera is out giving us the pilot's view, and you then transpose the instrument positions on the screen.
Yes. I pause on the approach plates to see how I would fly it.
DPG, thanks for your classy videos. No silly overbearing music, no unnecessary commentary, just pure aviation noises and informative popups. Love that style.
You didn't think that music was overbearing?
@@slobodanreka1088 As a rule I prefer no music at all, but this music was not the usual annoying dance club noise. It was tasteful and didn't interfere with the cockpit sounds I like to hear during critical stages. I always wish for appropriate ATC comms, but these were unfortunately absent.
@@slobodanreka1088 wise up...
@@slobodanreka1088 I didn't. It seems ambient.
Almost every perspective in this video blows my mind! Finally have started my flying journey from, literally, from the ground up (studying for PPL). Your channel is both educational and fascinating. Thanks and cheers from Canada 🛩👍😎
I’ve been to skiathos. Very exciting landing. Plane stops, everybody cheers the flight crew. Wonderful little island, best beaches.
Skiathos, where I flew my first solo cross-country. Excellent video!
Really? That must have been amazing!

Awesome, what a way to get hooked on aviation! Are there landing fees for this airport?
Your videos are SO well produced. Great graphics / info / style. Love them !!
My most memorable landing was into Runway 13 at Kai Tak in 1981. It was my first visit to Hong Kong so I had no idea what the approach would be like. I was sitting in a starboard window seat on a Qantas 747 gazing out the window at nothing but low cloud as we descended. I was starting to get a bit worried that I could only see cloud because I'd heard the gear go down already when suddenly the cloud cleared and straight out from my window were apartment blocks that appeared to be VERY close. So close that I could easily see people hanging out washing on their balconies. Now I was REALLY worried. Next, we do a hard roll to the right so I'm now looking almost straight down to the heavy traffic on the road below us. We straighten up and about 10 seconds later, we're down. Unforgettable.
Yep. I was lucky enough to get to go to Kai Tak a couple of years before it closed. A fellow passenger who'd done the flight before was kind enough to let me take his right-side window seat for the landing. It was stunning. It looked like the wingtips would brush against the skyscrapers. Never seen anything like it before or since.
Having visited that very spot where the runway used to be for Kai Tak I feel this so hard. Possibly the most challenging landing ever at any commercial airport. Period. Hong Kong is hands down one of my favourite places, and the landscape there is dramatic on every level ✨
I have a similar memory of my first flight into the old Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport at night, in a severe thunderstorm, sitting in a Starboard window seat. I was looking right into people's apartment windows flying between 2 mountains. Then we touched down just as the wings leveled out after a 45 degree banked right turn. Quite the memory. The new HK airport has its own unique peculiarities with rotor potential depending on the wind direction, but nothing like the old airport.
Loved the video and the graphics as to what is happening with settings.
The "mystery" music, too!
Agreed
She is a pilot inside a cinematographer, or the other way around… or both :-)
Me Too !
I liked them too as well. Maybe the altemeter would had been also nice to visualize.
Out of High School this is what I eventually wanted to do, the dream/ plan was well before high school. I had set my sights on Naval Aviator when I joined the USN 1978 on delayed entry. Got accepted OCS and was on my way when a motorcycle accident sidelined me. I dropped back into my backup career Refrigeration/ HVAC and have done that ever since with a few attempts to go into aviation in earnest. I got to solo student and had just a few night flight hours left to complete private pilot but then had to move and it was no longer convenient and barely plausible if I had omnipotent determination. Turned 60 a little over a month ago and realized ATP will never be me. But ran across Michelle's channel and I dig it!! There are only two careers that fall into the realm of disbelief that I get to do this and they will pay me for it, Aviation and Scuba diving. Signed your friendly NAUI (retired) Instructor originally from Arizona. Michelle you have captured my attention like Jacques I Cousteau!
Wow. The altimeter call-out of 50 while still over the water, and crossing the threshold at 15 ft with such a great touchdown barely short of the markers. Great approach and landing.
No this is an unsafe approach and landing and should be flagged by flight data monitoring. You cross the threshold at 50 feet (48 to be picky)
Words are so important, as is education. All landings are low otherwise you won't land. However the approach can be lower and longer than normal to land, & that is dangerous. Please get thing's right. Don't be over dramatizing for click baits.
@@patrickdoyle9369 It’s so sad that the vast majority of video clip titles are deceitful.
Its really exciting to see Skiathos from above again, we were on holidays to Skopelos a few years back , It was a cloudy day and the landing was pretty rough. Thank you very much for sharing this videos.
Your choice of music makes it all magic. Thank you for a beautiful and memorable experience!
This is great, thanks for posting. Best approach I ever got to experience was from the flight deck off a Cathy Pacific B747 into Kai Tak 6 months before it closed down ;( I still remember the pilot asking for a high speed golf approach and seeing the checker board on the hill before the right hand turn onto the runway. Something that I will never forget!!
having travelled to this wonderful island for many years, its definately my favorite take off (less so) and landing. ive been one of the spotters, but i've been on the jump seat on a few aircraft, due to my job, (aircraft engineer), but would love to do a jump seat landing/take-off in and out of skiathos. you've made me now just look up a last minute holiday now to revisit many friends who work on the island.
I loved the tranquillity of the approach and then the sudden rush of the land coming towards you just before you land.
Rhodes long approach over the Old Town of Rhodes and along the coast to the airport. So many happy memories and always feels like arriving at my other home.
Back in the 80's I was a passenger in a plane that landed here in heavy rain & we went right up to the waters edge at the end. It was very scary as he ran over rough ground. I thinks it's a little longer now? Anyway, it was a wonderful & peaceful place. I hope it still is :)
A beautifully photographed and well produced video. Having visited Greece more times than my wife & I care to remember, it reminds me how much we desperately miss the place.
I don’t fly, myself. Haven’t done so for well over a decade now but I work on ground crews at BRS and get to enjoy watching and judging the various landings by different aircraft on a daily basis. A brisk crosswind is especially entertaining! I’ve seen some silky smooth landings that barely gave a puff of smoke, to a 737 being planted into the runway right gear, left gear, a “hop,” then both gear very, very closely followed by the nose gear and a mighty cloud of smoke. And the fire trucks were deployed and followed the Ryanair 737 all the way to it’s stand.
Beautiful approach and landing! Thanks for sharing, Michelle. It seems that the aviation industry has gone from a near standstill to pilot shortages in less than year. I hope you're getting as much work as you want, and that you're enjoying yourself!
You're welcome! Regarding the pilot shortage, that only seems to be the case in the US at the moment

Amazing video! So beautiful, so detailed in informations, so well explained and professionally done! And of course, the job of the pilot (dutch girl pilot) is extraordinary. As usual! I like a lot this kind of videos. Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you for your kind words Leonard!
After watching so many of those landings from ground level at that particular airport it was good to see one from inside the cockpit.
Landed here in 1986 and 88 as the new terminal was being built. A fantastic and beautiful approach and landing, and amazed that when we turned to taxi to the porticabin of a terminus to see the sea again. You don't realise how close to the sea you get until you take off.
My third long-distance flight was overnight from LHR to Corfu, landing from the East over the sea in dawn light, mountains and a road at the end of the runway. That would make a great cockpit video!
Excellent cockpit view! I would like to see a landing on SAINT MARTIN in the Caribbean. It must be interesting to see a lot of excited aeroplane watchers from the cockpit.
and fly low over the nude beach!
I've been to Skiathos; it's hard to describe how cool is take off and landing there! I've landend on a 737-800 and the brake power is just mad: a friend of mine was recording a video and his iPhone almost jumped out of his hands 😂 Take off is also insane. Pilots keep the brakes while the engines are reeving up and the plane shakes like crazy. They release them and the aircraft suddently gains speed. Thank you Michelle for this video 😍
Didn’t expect your approach to be as low as that… I suddenly realised how quickly the aircraft needed to be on the deck! Great job !
Needed? A standard approach is the correct way, no need for something out of the ordinary.
Thank you for the annotations and overlays, it really helps me (a non-pilot) understand what you are showing. I'd appreciating having pilot-tower communication instead of the music. Thank you for your work as a pilot and as a producer of this channel!
I like hearing the cockpit and tower communications as well. Maybe mix in with the music. Great video excellent GFX explaining with the maps etc! Top notch for sure!! Thanks great videos.
Very nicely done. My memorable approach(s) - from both directions - was into the old Phu Quoc Island (Vietnam) airport in an ATR72. One was over the sea (flew over many many fishing boats) and the other is coming in over the top of the trees and then dropping down quite fast to land. Sadly the old airport is closed now.
I remember landing there. It goes so quickly from decent to standing outside the airport. I love it there.
Your final approach graphics/text are real + it lets us know the sequence of actions the pilot is taking. Great work.
I just LOVE this kind of video! The data display (flaps, altitude etc) is fantastic. I feel as though I am sitting beside you and understanding everything. Is there any way you might be able to add air speed, ground speed, wind direction and wind speed? That would be so fun to watch.
That's awesome, thanks for the graphics telling us what you was doing. You should do a take off from there out to sea.
Your video are so awesome with approach plates, landing checklist and pilot inputs that make you feel that your there with the cockpit crew.
Wow, that came in low! The 180 degree turn at the end of the runway was different. Amazing video with equally amazing graphics and supporting comments.
That was great! I love these cockpit view landings and the extra graphics are informative and stylish (editing skills appreciated) .
Thank you for your kind comment Tim!
Tioman Island was an impressive approach - beautiful scenery hugging the mountain and no option to go around.
I used to fly to Tioman on Berjaya Air for diving trips from Kuala Lumpur. Always a little bit scary but great views on approach out of the window. Very sad that those flights are no longer available. Now a very long road trip !
Thanks for adding the approach chart at the beginning. Helps to better conceptualize what we're seeing as it's happening. Stay Safe!
Fantastic! Landed there about 10 times. So happy to get this view from you! Thank you so much!
Your editing skills are outstanding !! Safe flights !! 🇧🇷
Beautifully done video. I look forward to seeing more approach videos from you. From the looks of the runway where you landed, I’m wondering if there’s ever any need to clean off those dark black skidmarks that seem to have built up at the point of touchdown. Thanks 💙🙏🏻
The place I love to spend my holidays, many thanks for sharing this, a fantastic experience coming into JSI as a passenger, must be epic being at the controls!
Absolutely gorgeous landing.. and a great perspective of the spotters for a change :)) Fanx! for posting the video...
When can I open my eyes? OMG what a landing.
I always remember the old Rhodes Maritsa airport approach. Especially with the Olympic 727 in bad weather conditions, low clouds, rain, mountains left+right and even without ILS they found the strip! Also with Caravelle and the mighty Trystar with LTU from DUS. Those were the days...
It was an interesting position for an airport
Great video. Necessary information is displayed very "softly" with 0 distraction or obscuring the view. Great music, not distracting. Extremely professional. This being my first time watching this channel, it was the first time I watched every second of it without fast forwarding, even when presenting the sponsor, which is a no brainer, as you are so beautiful. Al in al, 11/10! Liked and subscribed!
Our favourite holiday destinations is Zante and fly from Cardiff. So love your videos and the way you present them. I always wanted to be a pilot but can now live it through your videos! Keep them coming!
Nice to see a video from you again! You have created it very professional. Your on-screen displays during the approach are very helpful. Was you the pilot flying during the approach? A beautiful view of the landscape, especially just before landing with the islands and on both sides land (mountains) and just in front of it the sea, ships and beach.
Yes, it's a real feast for the eyes.
Excellent. This has to be one of the best aviation channels.
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Agreed, this just popped in my feed, impressive, subbed...
Captain Joe LOL
Agreed....I usually watch 74gear but he has no in-flight view ....this channel has great in-flight view PLUS out of this world graphics that provide info and stats.
Certainly a beautiful landing! I have been a passenger in and out of Skiathos for the last 20 years and always love it.
Awesome video, and very informative. I just took my first commercial flight as a passenger this weekend in over 2 years, and loved the whole experience, albeit with covid rules, but at least back in the air again.
I’d love to see Funchal! Have a great day!
Hey Michelle glad to see you again .. that aproach is similar to the one in St Marteen and St Thomas USVi here in the caribbean...your videos layout are very techno and excelent detail oriented..all you show has good taste...so stay around..as I say you are my favorite DuthPilotDoll..saludos!!!
Thanks Luis!
Actually reminds me of landing in Tortola. I flew for LIAT for 11 years. Landing in SXM was one of my favourite for sure👊🏾.
Hello! I recently discovered your channel and I wanted to compliment you on some really fantastic videos! I really enjoy the cinematic views outside the plane and the candid views of professional pilots in the cockpit doing your jobs. I look forward to seeing more of these and watching more of your past films. (Also, I must say that I find your beauty as charming as your skills and this channel.)
I know Skiathos well and have visited the island many times with my wife.The take offs and landings have always been impressive and easy flying from London Gatwick. We are hoping to get out again next year after a longish layoff because of the Pandemic and other reasons. My father was lucky enough to be ship's doctor for Swans Hellenic and his own love of Greece never faltered. He often talked about Santorini and Skiathos a lot which my mother also came to know well and love.Thank you for sharing this lovely video which brings back so many very happy memories.
Memorable experience will always be the landing on Runway 13 of the former Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport as passenger during childhood and teenage days.
I agree! It’s a most beautiful landing! Feels like we are going to land in the sea then you suddenly touchdown on land! Pity this airport is closed! Though I haven’t been to HongKong after 1997, am sure the Lantau airport is pretty good😊
@@Annabeth1319 The landing at the current Hong Kong Chep Lap Kok Airport has similar feeling on both western and eastern approaches where the plane is going to land at the sea prior to touchdown onto the runway. The eastern approach is brilliant where the plane flew over Hong Kong eastwards, turn 180 degrees westward above Shatin, over the hills and alongside Tsing Ma Bridge prior to land on either 25 L or 25R
It was crazy!!also landed there as a teenager.
How about we substitute the word "challenging" for "dangerous"? There was nothing dangerous about this beautiful approach and landing. Well done, and thanks for the beautiful scenery!
I totally agree with you. Been to Skiathos, it is stunning.
@@TheAtheist22 Yeah, I just really object to the word dangerous here. If it was dangerous, she wouldn't land.
Being of Greek origin living in the USA I have to say I am totally amazed by what you just did. I would have passed out 10 minutes before landing if I was where you were sitting. You are a very smart and brave young lady. INCREDIBLE to say the least. I find flying an airplane one of the most responsible professions and I truly applaud you. Skiathos...have to go there someday. Maybe you take me there. :)
Almost like landing in SFO ...just no beach at the runway ... beautiful 🙏👍
What an excellent video! I’ve flown into Skiathos a few times as a passenger, so it was interesting to see the approach and landing from a pilots perspective. I would love to see a similar video on the approach into Palma de Mallorca if possible.
I flew there once as a child on vacation, like 35 years ago, was the most difficult landing I can remember, people burst into applause once completed
I love Skiathos, I have lived on that island for 8 seasons, and are very familiar with the short runway. Cool to see it from the pilots perspective after landing there at least 20 times as a passenger.
this approach and landing video is one of the best so far I have watched. Well done, DutchPilotGirl.
Watching your videos is about as close to flying as I’ll get this year, thanks for sharing with us!.
Great video. In all my 58 years I've never been in an aeroplane, maybe one day though.
😍🤩
I have flown alot over the years. I can tell you that was one smooth landing.One heck of a pilot.Thanks
Wow super soft landing just perfect 👌🏻👏🏻 it looked amazing you could even see people watching when you flew over them 😍 absolutely loved that thanks for sharing 🥰❤️
That was excellent, I missed my calling and chose a different career but at least i did my ppl. Thanks for sharing, i appreciate it very much.
😍
Hello DPG - amazingly, I have only just become aware of your videos and I love them. The Skiathos one is my favourite so far because I visit the island on a semi regular basis and I was probably one f the spotters at the end of the runway!! I bet you have been asked this question before but here goes - which airline do you work for?
Simpppp
Amazing views! Thank you for taking us along. 💖
As a very low time student pilot I remember a night landing at the Los Alamos, NM airfield in a Twin Otter turbo prop. I was fortunate enough to be looking over the pilots shoulders. The approach was quite high, later explained as a roller downdraft at the approach edge of the cliff, so I lost sight of the runway. Then the co-piolet reached up and pulled the flap lever to 70 degrees. The airplane felt like it stopped and dropped. After a few seconds there was the runway. I noted the airspeed at the point was below 50 mph. That was a long time ago but I remember it very clearly. Your presentations are an inspiration to aspiring pilots and a revelation to us passengers. Thank You.
When you fly to a new airport, how do you visually identify the airfield? Do you look at satellite maps in preparation? Do you chillax and assume that ATC/vectors/ILS will get you close enough? Do you develop a sixth sense? Some airports are obvious. Some, like Quito's, don't seem obvious at all.
Albuquerque (New Mexico) airport. Approach is from the west because the airport is on a high valley plain. I was on a Southwest flight, pilot did a touch and go on the runway, then had to do a canyon run to line up on the emergency North-South runway. That landing will always stick with me.
My first trip to Albuquerque was back in '94; a long flight from the UK (via Dallas). We flew in over the mountain in a 727 at night, during a snowstorm; it was interesting to say the least. My most abiding memory was thinking "Crash or land I really don't care, I just want to go to sleep"
Love this format because we have the full cockpit view of the landscape before landing. It' s a visual treat...
Thanks, Michelle. That was so cool and breathtaking. Love the scenery.
I would offer a suggestion for two changes: 1. No music please. Give us cockpit / ATC audio for authentic feel 2. Add a camera for inside cockpit / pilot views so it doesn’t feel disconnected
"Dangerous low landing"?? I saw a nice safe landing in a well-presented video!
Enjoyed that, thank you! LOWI in the winter is pretty exciting so would love to see that again. Also, EGLC, EDJA, EDNY, LGIR or EIDL would be cool.
Excellent early touchdown and equally early backtrack. Most aircraft touchdown at Skiathos a lot further on and need to backtrack from the far end. Nice landing!
Sweet video Michelle! I like the edit! The music isnt too calm or too loud, and its, as a fellow of your nation (Max Verstappen) says quite a lot,- "SIMPLY LOVELY!" (ive just watched an F1 race that ended about 20 minutes ago, he won the race).
Thanks!! Yes now the national team still has to win the game tonight ⚽️
@@DutchPilotGirl haha yea im seeing the 2 games today, actually, i have an old story from the 2010 world cup that made start liking the dutch team since then. It was such a wierdly funny story🤣 involving one SUPER DEDICATED FAN of the nethrrlands who accidenlty thought im Dutch. Oh, and it didnt even happened in the Netherlands, wich makes ot even more accidental. I could tell the whole story if you wish. Im still ciurious how she reacted when they came 2nd in the final 😅. It was in the 3-2 game vs Urugway btw. I was very young, and i remeber the game very good thanx to what the super fan did (such as putting flags in the hotel's lobby)😂😅
@@DutchPilotGirl welp, looks like they didnt make it (the euro games), but hey, (they are in the world cup). And but hey ×2- MAX VERSTAPPEN!!!!! I jumped like a kid in the final lap! That was justice! After all the time his rival benefited from the stewards (silverstone is just one example). He deserved it!
Great to see you back Dutch Pilot Girl!
Love this format ! Looking forward to watching your approach on Nice airport. It’s one of the most beautiful approach on a French airport to me. I experience it every day 😊
Skiathos is a stunning island. Great approach and landing by the way.
Since you asked about which approach I remember best, then Florø, ENFL (Norway) comes into mind. At that time, the runway was 800 meters long, and I was flying an ATR 42. It was rainy, windy, midnight, and pitch dark. And we had to make a localizer approach to a circling into a steep final approach. There was a circling light on downwind, and that was pretty much all we could see until we turned final. We used a special chart/graph to compute heading and timing on downwind, and the bank angle to the final. All this based on reported wind from the airport. In this case, we had to start the final turn when we were abeam the threshold. And let me add that there weas high terrain close to the airport. So everything had to be perfect. Crew coordination was essential, because the captain had to look out most of the time. The job of the first officer was to monitor speed, heading, altitude and timing. It worked well every time, but the adrenalin made it hard to sleep afterwards!
Add a tail hook and arresting gear and it would make for a difficult carrier landing!
What a great experience to be able to watch the videos you post and I love your facial expressions and the way you present your facts.
That was nice. Really enjoyed the landing. Besides your voice, I found it very relaxing and soothing. Thank You
I really didn’t see anything inherently “dangerous” about the airport, approach, or landing accomplished by two obviously very professional pilots. We used to land at SNA (Santa Ana) in the US which was similar at about 5700 feet in a B-757. While it was always a bit of a challenge, the airplane did it magnificently! I would imagine your takeoff was a bit more challenging than the landing in a B-737! Good video to show how smoothly and easily a good crew can make a challenging approach and landing!
The “dangerous” in the title refers to the jet blast of the incoming, outgoing aircraft..
I’ve flown into Skiathos on a TUI B757 as it’s a drop off before Mykonos. Outbound often does a refuel in Kefalonia to keep the take off weight down. Announcement from the Captain called out to expect not the prettiest landing and was a hard landing with immediate full reversed. I’ve cycled around the airport and the runway is super short with the other end finishing just above the beach.
I would imagine the danger comes with the length of the runway. If you have a runway excursion, the aircraft is going to end up in the water.
Indeed! This is a normal landing just a clickbait. This would even be safer than other normal places with some terrain around and not open water. maybe the word dangerous is related that they did not fly the correct vertical profile, But that does not make the airport dangerous XD
@@123fockewolf Agreed. We have far more dangerous approaches, with obstacles, etc., here in the boring Midwest, USA. B-)
The rubber on that runway hasn't been cleaned in ages
That's probably one week's worth!
I imagine the planes touch down harder here in order to bleed momentum.
Chek lap tok in Hong Kong was quite the landing back in the 90s... Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!
The island views make me want to travel again. Beautiful shots!
Was it you piloting? What aircraft type? How are you? How is your career going? I am very glad to see you!
She was perhaps in the cockpit, but I do not think that she landed the plane. I could be mistaken but I thought that Skiathos is a captains only landing.
I just want to tell it was a very nice landing and who was controlling the plane ?
She was!
@@billace90 oh tks
just perfect, the turnaround back down the runway was awesome
In the early 1980s I flew several times from Athens to various islands. I do not know the aircraft type but it looked a bit like a Britannia. They were some of the best flights I have made because they were not incredibly high and flying through the islands being able to see houses and beaches was wonderful.
I can see why pilots come in low, I was sweating in my chair at home!
lol
Yessss I love u
Smooth and lovely landing. Thanks for keeping our world moving.
Great film. Thank you. Hope you had a layover👍 One time in Burbank, USA, we landed, immediately pulled up and circled for another approach. At the gate, the crew received a standing ovation.
Soo relaxing to watch 😃
