"Tower - have the ground crew check these front tires..."

lol, Nice.

 

Thanks for the post. I'm going to LA tomorrow.

 

ooo! Trying to get me in trouble with that streaming video stuff!

IS gonna me good

 

DAMN! - hope that flight crew didn't have a big lunch - cause it's all over the flight controls if they did. Surprised they didnt collapse that front wheel - Kudos to the engineer who put a little extra beef in that - hehe

 

Damn.

 

OMG!! AHAHAH Someone must've thought it would be funny to get the pilot/co-pilots a little drunk before the landing..

 

WTF that wasn't your plane.

Me and Mold got bored and started smacking our Northwest pilot upside the back of the head then ducking when he tried to hit us.

 

Oh, shit. I think I was on that flight!

I'm suprised the damn plane held together!

 

Planes are surprisingly durable.

Thats the worst landing I've ever seen, My hats off to that pilot.

 

Well to fill ya in thats an airbus. That film was sped up ALOT. If you watch the wings flex and the flaps and all that fun stuff you notice that he pilot over corrected a flair on the landing, the nose starts to drop so he increases power and pulls back. The plane starts to slow the drop but bounces back up. The pilot again over corrects by proll jamming the control stick to the stoppers. Did this a few more times untill he realised it. It appears to be a stiff cross wind that started this. Ive seen worse. Ive been in worse. If anyone has ever paid any attention to the convos on IRC u may know I once crashed a plane. I was taking off to test it after repairing it and I got caught in a cross wind. The plane pitched to the right and the wing caught the control tower at about 76 kts. It went into a cartwheel and I was pitched from the aircraft breaking a few ribs an arm and otherwise being very bruised and roadrash. Ph34r teh crosswind!
