sixtiesrelic Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Today, some knowlegable sounding American TV reporter told me something I never knew but will certainly will save lives if I pass it on. Talking about Air France's Airbus crash in the Pacific, he said the aircraft stalled! 'Essentilally, it stopped in mid air!' Hay gang! next time you reckon ya gunna crash, stall her about twenty feet above the ground and radio the control tower (when you're half way between Cloncurry and Birdsville say..) and tell them to send a crane out to get ya down. Simple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
