Default Bumpy-Bumpy Aircraft!

This was the closest to a tail strike that I have ever seen.
I can imagine the look on the pilotīs faces!

The last one of the MD-80 isn't a tail strike. Can't remember the complete story, but the FAA was on board the plane during early certification. The plane was rebuilt and flown again.

The Airbus and MD tests are Vmu tests done during routine aicraft certification testing. Vmu is Velocity minmum unstick.

Here's a link to explain what there doing.
