How could a 737 possibly land this way?

It appears to be a European beer commercial, but looks pretty real;
funny as hell anyway.

Question from non-pilot: I live in the Atlanta metro area, and
see all kinds of aircraft flying over all the time...helicopters,
small private planes, corp jets, pipeline inspection planes,
military aircraft (air base pretty nearby), and airliners higher
up, leaving and coming into Hartsfield. I know there
are restricted areas where leisure fliers and such can't
fly over, but can g.a. pilots fly pretty much where they
want to? Fly around as you please with just keeping
an eye out for other craft? Seems like there'd be more
near-misses and collisions if that's the case.


it is just a big model aircraft.
good enough to suck the noddies in.

why does it seem like there would be near misses? the sky is large and
aeroplanes small.
you have no worries about opposing road traffic that whizzes past in
the other direction separated by a 6 inch wide paint line.

btw you have no idea about where light aircraft can fly. we can fly
into all the largest airports if we fit in with the process of control
they use.
think of an aeroplane as a speedboat in a different fluid.
