I wonder when in the video, the words, "Oh S***t" were said. I also wonder when the words, "Thank you God" were spoken. Mike |

Why did they have fuel in it in the first place? |

It was supposed to be doing 'a fast taxi'. It was all over the BBC. |

Just goes to prove the old adage, any landing you can walk away from is a good one…… |

Thankfully everyone walked away without harm and the plane is still in one piece! I bet they don't get to do THAT again! Nice job on the part of the pilot! |

YouTube link I quite like this one, as there's a bit of audience reaction. The link at the top of the thread everyone (stewards and cameraman) seem remarkably blase about it all like it's not such an odd thing….hmmmm…. |

In these days of "zero tolerance" it is good to see a levelheaded approach was taken with the crew regarding consequences. Would have been a shame for a rare lady like "Teasin' Tina" to be permanently grounded because of this one instance. |

Wow – I've had lots of landings like that with radio control planes, but I don;t think I've ever seen one with an irreplacable (if somewhat goofy looking) vintage aircraft. Good thing there was a lot of left over space at the airfield. Doug |

Goofy ? Well, I guess if you have to be a part of the nuclear bomber fleet it's always handy to look a bit ammusing… |

That is awesome. Good bit of flying. Man that is a big beast. |

A big difference here Mardaddy is that this took place in the UK not the US. If that happened here the FAA would have been all over everyone. "for the good of the public" as they would no doubt say. Well don Mr. Prothero, well done indeed sir. |

Goofy! The pride of Her Majesty's V-Bomber fleet? (well, alright, that would be the Vulcan, but even so…). I like the Victor, a magnificent aircraft. |

Bravo Zulu to the pilot for setting her down safely and without damage! I'd personally smack the  out of the engineer after the fact, and then go get a beer or three. In the US, you don't have to be a licensed pilot to do taxi tests (I've done several as a mechanic-in-training), but I think the FAA would have had some serious words with the Engineer as well. No one was hurt, there was no damage to property, *and* it seems that everything else was done legally (by US standards), so I don't think there would have been a lot of fallout even here in the US. Just a $10,000 fine for the engineer, probably. |
says these Possessed Zombies would lend themselves well to a zombie game based on the world of the Evil Dead movies.
