I love that "spare" tank bit. Nothing like carrying a spare tank on your Phantom. Fill up whereever fuel is cheap.

Nothing wrong with that description. It obviously was 'spare' or they wouldn't have dropped it.

Another classic: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... oblem.html

I never got into the DM whenever I did a flapless landing on continuation training. Apparently the flaps are VITAL to land so goodness knows how he/she did it then.

Did a flapless ferry Washington to Brize once. The phones in the noise complaints office didn't stop ringing for three days.

I feel quite saddened that my A320 flapless return to LHR in about 2000 (asymmetric lockout on retraction) did not get reported by the DM.

I did make the DM once when I was slightly involved in a coup in the Seychelles in the 1970s.

The only truthful bit was "first officer talmacapt stated that he heard no shots fired".

The rest was bollux.

I have made the news quite a few times. Usually absolute garbage. Half the problem was having press down the back. Too late to take them to task after they have filed after landing.

Plane CRASH!
Thousands not killed!

Apparently 'No-one' was injured (again) . . .
"No-one" seems to be accident-prone.

For Llondel’s information the nearest school is in Stanwell, about a mile from T3 and the nearest hospital is in Ashford, Surrey approximately 3 miles away, neither was under threat from the incident, the value of the Pilots home has not been disclosed yet!

The Grauniad doing well again! https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/202 ... 1712416879
Two passenger planes clip wings on Heathrow runway
It is amazing how congested that runway at Heathrow can get at busy times. There is hardly room to take off! You would need to be a real Sky god to weave through that lot....

Was it because the tug towing the plane couldn’t get it up to takeoff speed? :-?

What a load of BS. That is the 10 Sqn A330 Voyager they are talking about and show photos of. Sure that wasn't the aircraft involved in the incident.
