Major pucker factor..... WOW!
Sweet!! Pays to be light on weight :tongue:
wow is right, i haven't seen that done with anything bigger than a Pitts!!
Nice, now kick in the burners and do the 3 mile climb.
In this configuration, how close do you think he is to a stall?
Oh man I wish this wasn't shot on a Nokia from 2006!
It is an airbus, it can not stall! Alfa Floor will not allow the aircraft to get into an unsafe situation and will not let a wing stall. He can fly it by holding the stick in his lap and using power to determine alt. It is very easy on an airbus as the computer is doing all the work!Quote:

There is a lot of controversy over the Airbus aircraft going into the trees...the only thing that is not a controversy is the fact that the aircraft handled the situation well, it was the pilots or the engine controls that did not add power....depending on who you ask.
Ah not really, would be something cool to see on a commercial aircraft, something different lolQuote:

That weather actually helped that maneuver, I'm sure. The uploader notes there was a 20 knot headwind at the time.Quote:
