Well that sure does look like a whole lot of fun. Some impressive piloting to get it back on the ground!

(Apologies if this can only be seen in the UK)

In Soviet Russia, plane flies you!


Btw, no flame against russian aircraft in general. It's also no general procedure to get the log from all Airbus flights off the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

Dupe.


Not really, since it was just a side note in another thread...
A lot more convenient to discuss about the incident in its own thread.

Well, that speaks very well of Tupoloev's designers. How the tail remained in place is beyond me, just think of AA's A300-600  :(

Did you go up? 60oF and sun here in Cleveland was a welcome sight after it rained 29 of 30 days in April!

Yeah, I got up out of Lorain County KLPR.  Uncontrolled.  Someone had a prop strike right before I got there.  The CFI thinks that the pilot was on the brakes when he touched down.
