Woah, check out this Plane Vid
http://mysite.verizon.net/vze6kuhd/MD-80.mpg

info from another forum: "High descent rate landing tests of the MD-80. The FAA pilot was supposed to land at 12 fps, but misjudged and landed at 17 fps. (Typical airline landing is 6 feet per second.)

The amazing thing is that this plane, originally intended for delivery to Swissair, was rebuilt and used for over a decade for flight testing by McDonnell-Douglas."

No worky for me. Must be in demand.

Whoops! On edit, worked on a later try.

One nice thing about being a pilot. Odds are someone, somewhere, has made a worse landing than I have. Thanks for the link!

3. Just think about the poor bastard taking a dump in the aft john.
At least he won't have to wait long in the line exiting the plane.

4. So THAT's why they make you go back to your seat
when landing.
