mobey Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 some things are just a given I assume this asshat ran out of gas. The engines momentarily restarted a few times, but didn't stay running. According my my pilot friend, he agrees. Or as Ruff said, he shut them off, and started them as he needed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert gift Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I was just watching a news show about these types of landings and more and more of them are actually staged. They are saying this is becoming common place for pilots who want a thrill or two to do this type of emergency landing and saying that the engine stalled. I personally think some are fake some are real. Sometime I wonder that. But if caught, huge fine and loss of license. And any little mishap; pothole in the pavement, wind eddies off a building or billboard, touch a vehicle or object, could lead to ten$ of thou$and$ in damages. Plus, if prohibited from taking off, the loading and hauling charges are very high. Have your thrill going dead-stick onto a runway. Better yet, don't have a thrill where you can kill yourself, or worse, destroy a nice aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
