Ankara, Turkey: An Italian pilot has amazed the world by successfully landing a plane on a moving train in Turkey.
According to international news agencies, the daring stunt involved a cargo train speeding at 120 kilometers per hour. The plane landed on one of the train’s containers, marking one of the most dangerous stunts in aviation history.
Pilot Dario Costa not only executed the landing flawlessly but also took off from the train seconds later, setting a new global record.
The video footage shows Costa skillfully bringing the aircraft onto the moving train before taking off again within seconds.
Speaking about the feat, Costa described it as a “blind landing,” where even a minor mistake could have been fatal. He credited months of hard work, precision, and determination for making this seemingly impossible mission possible.

This is not Costa’s first remarkable aviation stunt. In 2023, he made headlines by landing a plane on the helipad of Dubai’s iconic Burj Al Arab hotel.
To achieve the historic landing on the train, the aviation team made extensive modifications to the aircraft. Costa also completed 650 practice runs to perfect the maneuver within a 27-meter landing zone.
This latest achievement has further cemented Costa’s reputation as one of the most daring stunt pilots in the world.
