A wild landing involving a Boeing and four MiG-31s

ATC audio (with subtitles) and a bit of footage from Usinsk airport in Russia back in 2018. Airliner lands first and can’t vacate the runway fast enough before four MiG-31s with low fuel start dropping in and lands while it’s still on the runway. Pretty wild, but that’s Russia for you.

Credit to the controller keeping his cool and getting everyone down!
Westray: That this is some sort of coincidence. Because they don't really believe in coincidences. They've heard of them. They've just never seen one.
