Posted: Sun May 08, 2011 1:45 pmOK that makes sense ... I was imagining an aircraft that had different wings on either side or something... didn't even think of an engine failure.

Pfffft, I've flown easily with only one engine out of four due to them being shot from the plane in IL2 during bombing raids. Nothing to it!

Lawrence , Airways airlines paint there planes white (budget) Air force paint there planes grey (budget) shoulder mounted SAM comes in a army green case , once pulled out they seem to be all white , its a vicious circle .

I think that was the footage that was filmed from one of the property's located on the terminal side of the airport that screended on TV3? - if it was mine they certainly didn't contact me about it and I didn't offer it to them.
someone please remind me to wear ear plugs in future - 737 engines are a little noisy at full power.
