  • The Pilot is my Father, Cap. Carlos Cateriano Martínez, former Fighter Pilot of the Peruvian Air Force.

    It’s the Stache that gave him the confidence to land that like a boss

    You earned my respect. To the casual observer recognize both sides of the canyon walls have differing air currents updrafts, downdrafts, then the ground temp and air. Very skilled
  • I love how he puts it down fifty feet before the line, plenty of precaution, enough time to change your mind for a high altitude go-around. What a nice approach!
  • @goapeshit1424
    With that stache I’m surprised the hills didn’t start moving out the way
  • @artysanmobile
    You know it’s a rough airport when you have to silence terrain alerts just to approach.
  • @alitlweird
    I love how the runway just continues and becomes the main road into the nearest town. Clever. 👍
  • @william254
    That approach was insane, almost no room for errors

    The greater the mustache, the greater the responsibility :)
  • @the.mr.beacher
    The mustache ruined the suspense! We knew it was a successful landing as soon as we saw it. No spoilers next time!
  • @pilotgianni

    Capt., I just saw this video. You sir are a flying GOD. I could only wish to have your skills. It would be an honor to have you pilot an aircraft I was lucky enough to be in . I can only hope that the people that you fly have any idea how skilled you are. They are lucky to have a protector like you . I WISH YOU THE BEST IN LIFE. Mike from Mass. USA

    I do not always land in Peru, but when I do I grow a mustache.

  • Very nice approach and landing. This video proves to the whole world , without any doubts, that your father is an excellent pilot and a fine example to follow in that profession. Keep up the great work guys.
  • Nothing is as scary as landing in Detroit and having to walk to your car
  • @screamengine
    And that, my friend, is why you aren't getting a gram of coke for less. Stop complaining.

    My palms are sweating! My heart is thumping like a disco. This pilot has a HUGE pair. I'm gonna pour myself a drink now. Greetings from Alaska.
