An example of how NOT to land a plane

Post by hammadh »

A very scary landing at Toncontin, Honduras.



Man learned to fly when he stopped imitating birds.

Obviously an ex-US.Airways equipment. The pilot didn't even touch down till half the runway was taken up. Toncontin requires a landing just over the piano keys to be able to stop the aircraft in time. Either the plane was flying light, or had brand new brakes installed =D>

Yes it is. BUT this aircraft was in testing before the aircraft went to production. They wanted to test how much stress the tail section can sustain.
