    Another cool aircraft landing vid

    Remember the BAe 146 Whisper Jets we used to have? This is a variant.

    What was the pilot thinking? Poor bloody passengers !!!!!!

    "And so concludes our field test for the new high-tensile moon-noodle nanosteel landing gear"

    But no really, that was ridiculous.

    Some of the tailwind entries are insane, especially the Concord that calls it off.

    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    This could be a repost but i still think it's worth saying i was impressed when i saw it !

    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    it's photoshopped.
    it was a viral commercial campaign, went over a pair of years ago, i think...

    but this was true...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_EXtBEaBbs


    then i clearly remember an aerobatic prize titled to a pilot that was almost losing his wing, so he flown all the way upside down not to expose the damaged wing to positive gs, and at the very last he turned and landed safely, leaving a scratch into the ground with the wing tip long some hundred of meters.
    unfortunately i don't remember the name of the pilot or the name of the prize: i just remember that the cup was representing a plan touching the ground with the wing and that probably the plane was a zlin, or maybe an extra.
    if somebody finds something on the net about that please post here...

    Any landing you can walk away from, especially if the aeroplane can be re-used, is a GOOD one!

    sorry...
    maybe "viral commercial" is not the right locution in english... i meant those videos diffused on the net in the hope of sensational responses but they were actually a commercial spot.
    something like this one:
    http://dailymotion.virgilio.it/video...e-old-tab_auto

    but often is something more subtle...

    about the plane vid, here an article talkin about it (translated):

    The way I heard it was that any landing you can walk away from is a good one - being able to re-use the aircraft is a bonus.
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    One word: "Boooiing"
    It's back..."Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

    Can you say "windshear on short final"?
