OK

The first FG pilot to take the left or right hand seat of one of these puppies better be ready do do a product perspective report for us.

That thing is mind boggling to even try and comprehend. I mean they trashed an umpteen million dollar engine just to test the blade seperation issue. Bleedin heck ?????

Then the turd test thing showed a discharge speed of 130 mph. You would have to consider yourself a lucky turd to even get dumped in that thing.

Awesome.!!!!

Won't be me, I'll never live long enough to see that as a third hand worn out freighter.

I agree with the landing, but it wasn't too bad. You can see he's holding some left rudder prior to touchdown, then shortly after the mains contact the rudder goes neutral and maybe even a little right, before he corrects. Not sure why he got off the rudder so soon, the approach didn't look too busy wind-wise.

I would hate to have to evacuate that plane in a hurry when fully loaded with passengers.
