Lazarus 0 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 This is the news report of the incident - how annoying is the presenter? http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/200607/r95747_289379.asx This appears to be amatuer footage of the landing http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/200607/r95719_289256.asx Says he had to fly around for 3 hours to burn off most of his fuel before attempting his landing. i bet he was touching cloth that whole time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17522 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I can't get sound so don't know if it's been explained on the clip, but surely the best thing to do in that situation would be to eject in an unpopulated area or over water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
