• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Just wrote this in another thread, but then saw this one.

In the news, they've just told, that Captain Sullenberger had walked through the watered plane, to make sure, everybody had got out. Still in the plane, he then called his wife via mobile phone, and said: "Darling, I'll be delayed; we just had a minor incident here." That's pilots - great people!
 
I wonder how many sim pilots tried to recreate the landing with A320's on MS flight sims....

I guess that has to be a candidate for "best landing ever".


That is, of course, if you discount the Just Plain Lucky ones - the likes of the WWII Lancaster tail-gunner who jumped out from 20000 feet without parachute and survived.

Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Alkemade -- OK, 18000 feet. What's 2000 feet between friends? I guess that depends whether it's the first 2000 or the last 2000...
