A320 stupidity!

That is what you call absolute stupidity. After seeing that, it would make me think twice about flying with that airline, which appears to be Eurowings. The plane looks like it is a Airbus A320.

Funny, but because you never see a passenger plane tossed around like that your forget that they are even that nimble.

Hehehe, I've had this one in my collection for a while, and my brother flipped too when I showed it to him (he's a big flightsim fan). Juding from the big collection of sportsplanes (or general aviation if you will) then I'm not sure that was a scheduled airline flight but something else. It's like the test of the MD-80? where it hammered so hard down into the ground that the entire tail fell off, and then some other stuff, and that was to my knowledge a certification flight :D The autoland feature didn't quite work I guess. And on that note now for an oldie but goldie:
Pilot to mechanic "The autoland on the plane is very rouch"
Mechanic to pilot "This plane is not fitted with autoland" ^_^ ^_^

Ah, I saw that one. :)

Nice old pilots quip that one.

Wasn't that from Qantas ground-crews or something?

[Frank N. O.]

According to this site http://www.taphilo.com/aviation/humor.shtml they are and they are just wonderful -^ :cool:

"Note: This floats around via e-mail. It supposedly came from Quantas log book entries over many years."

Quantas where is that from?

Just one more:
P - Aircraft handles funny.
S - Aircraft warned to "Straighten up, Fly Right and Be Serious."
LOL if that's all the pilot reported then that is all any mechanic can do due to lack of detail :D

Edit: Speaking of those videos, this one http://www.simradar.com/Feature/1696/Hard_Landing.html
I can't believe people think that's real, that's a CGI beer-commercial production if I remember correctly. No plane would ever behave, or survive that kind of manouvrering in my mind.

That's pretty bad CG. ;)

We have better beer adverts here on TV. :) Some of them are very well done. There is one I'm thinking of in particular with New Zealand and Australian rugby supporters in the bar opening beer bottles in crazy ways, I'm sure others here in Australia will know it.

Very nicely done. :)

I was trying to find it somewhere for download but sadly couldn't find it..

[Frank N. O.]

Lol, it sounds funny anyway, what was the name of it? Maybe I can find it. I remember seeing the english commercial program with various commedians hosting it and one they showed was with one HOT short-haired babe in underwear with ants crawling up her legs, and by now I think many know which one it was, I heard it was banned in Australia, but I don't get why unless someone felt hit, from what someone said it symbolised with the ant-eater.
