Guest IguanaKing Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Nothing to defuse, dude, just pointing out a few little errors in claiming "nationalism", and laughing it off. :smilewink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamocl Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 :) Never said it was fake, infact I think there are US pilots daft enough to try a stunt like that. After all it must get boring in those long hauls, and showing off is a boost to their egos. EscCtrl understood. Big planes can pull off some almost unimaginable stunts, just take a look at some of the flight testing in the jumbos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big planes can pull off some almost unimaginable stunts, just take a look at some of the flight testing in the jumbos. One of them was quite good at it, until one day he misjudged the rolling capabilities of the fuel-laden buff... Now his last seconds on this planet are all over the internet. Oh, he also took like 5/6 lives with him. Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh...breaking tension is often as simple as doing Beavis & Butthead impressions over COMs. No stunts needed...but something like that definitely gets everybody excited, that's for sure. About as much of an eye-opener as sticking your hand into HV 400Hz AC. There's no mystery then why they call it Hertz. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
