The test pilot of this famously dis 'roll' over New York when showing the plane off. Next day the boss quietly said, "Don't do it again." The plane could mind.
@Sheila, I am, of course, only guessing. I choose the 707 because of the time period and because of the shape of the stanchions the engines are mounted on. I think I'm right though. Frankly, I wouldn't have guessed that airport to be large enough to handle a 707, but I must be wrong.
@Adullamite - I've seen a picture (or it may be faked) of the roll over NYC that you mention. More guts than brains, if true. It was a sweet airplane.
So that's what it is. :)
ReplyDeleteYes. It is circling for it's final approach to Tipperary International.

Oh indeed it happened. It was filmed, and a pic was taken on board! The pics must be around somewhere.
