Ecccch! Funny that - I had no problem landing a DC-3 at Thames ... but that was in FSX winkyy.gif

The problem with TV3 and Firefox may be Adblock related. I have to allow it for the TV3 site. Excessive advertising is one of my pet peeves ... and this country seems rife with it.

Dont think that being filmed on National TV he needed to say too much really!

Poor bugger.


Why would the engine coughing make him overrun the end of the strip.

The engine should be decelerating so the cough should have helped.

Sounds like an excuse to tell the tv reporter.

Least the pilot walked away without serious harm. I wonder how much it will cost to fix the plane.....

Ewwwww Dont think I'd bother fixing it hahahaha brings a whole new meaning to "Sh!t Hitting the Fan" or in this case "Sh!t Hitting the Prop" or I guess you could say he was up "Sh!t Creek With-out a Paddle" hahaha I really do have more of these but I'll just leave it there lol.

Think that guy lives in my block can't be sure though as there are a few living in the same building.

'The plane had since been pulled out of the pond and was grounded until it had been inspected.'........ huh!? I'm thinking a little more than an inspection is needed here! The couling needs putting back on before it goes anywhere winkyy.gif
