Yeh, I don't fly one, but they say you're OK if you don't touch the rudder!

A 747 was on its way to the photo shoot also, but the center tank exploded and it never made it.

Just a guess, but I'm fairly certain it's NOT the Cascades of Western/Central Washington State

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

The MD-80 couldn't make it due to a little jackscrew malfunction.

 

[HoursHore]

About 8 DC-10's were on the way, but.....oh nevermind.

 

[rvsm410]

Beautiful Pix...no matter what aircraft you favor....

 

[MLBWINGBORN]

But,

It takes a Lear to take such a great shot.

No, you have it wrong, it was a missile.

On the serious side, I asked a question on an other thread and have not received an answer, either in jest or otherwise. The question is this, was there ever an AD note on the Airbus or 747?..........The basis being if you were flying a Jungle Jet or whatever, and lost a rudder and both engines, do you not think there would at least be a service bulletin? How about a fuel tank exploding?

E! Online:

The earliest shots of the new summer blockbuster "Alive: The Five-hundred and Fifty Five" have rolled into our office. The plot is compelling; The equivalent of 11 common regional jets going down in a remote section of the mountains with the village sized population fighting each other and the elements for survival. Expect to be riveted to your seat unlike any rudder from Toulouse! Starring Lara Flynn Boyle and Lindsey Lohan as starving passengers, and Mike Tyson as Captain Jacques Barbe-Marbois.

The difference with the Boeings is that they don't start falling apart untill after they have been flying for 15 or 20 years....not on demo flights.

When they take the first A380 (in about 17 years) to the salvage yard to be cut up and melted into 2 liter bottles, it'll be a Boeing flying the crew home....

Yes there is a current AD for the 747 classics, and it has to do with fuel management, and specifically center wing tank.

 

[Geronimo4497]

Is that one of those 'Corvette' jets in the backround on the last pic? Wierd airplane........

 

[islandhopper]

Now THAT is funny !!! I was going to make some crack about the 17 years, but you did much better than I ever could.
