Amazing landing...

Friday, November 14, 2008 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Got an email from a friend the other day...he often sends links to 'odd' stuff.....but this is some pretty neat flying.

 

Guess it helps to have a plane with more thrust than weight....but Geez!

That was some first class flying if it wasn't a trick.

Saw it a couple of days ago...

 , Snowy! Enjoy your newfound fortune, mate!!

With the "Pucker Factor" that caused, his pants didn't have a chance! They'll have to be removed surgically from his throat!

Well....that's likely fake...

Here's his previous email....

Subject: Fw: Fwd: Papal Finances

 

Nescafe manages to arrange a meeting with the Pope at the Vatican.

After receiving the Papal blessing, the Nescafe official whispers
"your Eminence, we have an offer for you. Nescafe is prepared to
 donate $100 million to the church if you change the Lord's Prayer from
 "give us this day our daily bread" to "give us this day our daily
 coffee."


 The Pope responds, "That is impossible. The prayer is the word
 of the Lord. It must not be changed."

 "Well," says the Nescafe man, "we anticipated your reluctance. For
 this reason we will increase our offer to $300 million."

 "My son, it is impossible. For the prayer is the word of the Lord
 and it must not be changed."

 The Nescafe guy says "Your Holiness, we at Nescafe respect
 your adherence to the faith, but we do have one final offer. We will
 donate $500 million - that's half a billion dollars - to the great
 Catholic Church if you would only change the Lord's Prayer from "give us this
 day our daily bread" to "give us this day our daily coffee."
 Please consider it."


 And he leaves.

 The next day the Pope convenes the College of Cardinals.
 "There is some good news," he announces, "and some bad news.
 The good news is that the Church will come into $500 million."
 "And the bad news your Holiness?" asks a Cardinal.
 "We're losing the Tip Top account."

A woman was flying from Seattle to San Francisco.
 
Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft the plane would re-board in 50 minutes.

Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind The man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight.

He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said, "Kathy, we are inSacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?" The blind lady replied, "No thanks, but maybe Buddy would like to stretch his legs."

Picture this:

All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Seeing Eye dog!

The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!

Hey I think I had that same pilot last time I flew TWA!

I think he does this on purpose because of the similarities in the landing.

Lemme check, yep, on one wing too!

The problem as I see it with that scene is that that little plane could never take off with a pilot with that big of a pair.

It's too hard to believe the landing was at all possible...btw, Cplair:

That squirrel pic?

Now I know why THEY don't fly. Could you imagine the landings?  Doc shudders.
