On the off chance that anyone was worried I was not on the flight. Meant to be flying into Heathrow tomorrow though which could be interesting!
Glad everyone on the flight is OK. |

I'm not sure I've ever landed short. Ever. In the summer it's pretty much impossible, and in the winter you try and avoid the holes were everyone else has landed and go long too.
(this is why my tarmac landing are crap. I'm using to aiming for bumps, and avoiding the 'common' landing bit). That's a hell of a landing by the crew though. I wonder if they hit a freak bit of turbulence/wind condition, that nuked their speed.

Yup - big thread about it on the other place (Scuzi was at home btw). Seems like it's a power/avionics/hydraulics type problem that happened near touchdown so little time to recover. Mostly guesswork still though so we'll have to wait and see what the AAIB have to say. Glad there's no fatalities.

Interesting, according to here: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/...ne_boeing.html
This is the first time a 777 has been stacked. |

Ah the irony of "targeted" advertising?
