Air Canada Plane Nearly Lands on Crowded Taxiway

Actually no,...you said I was wrong AGAIN,...what was I wrong about pervious to you saying I was wrong about the possibility of a tip stall.

So any plane that has a swept wing that flies below 400 knots, is for esthetic reasons,...not for stability,...so I'm also wrong as to how a swept wing adds stability,...???

I do not have any prejudices ,...I'm simply asking you questions, if you don't agree, or I'm wrong, simply say so, and explain without the attitude.

And you are now you are stating the RC plane crashed because of pilot error,...not because it lost an engine,...???

and explain without the attitude.

You're asking him to do the impossible.

Looks like a bad parking job. Not to sound too technical, but it's called 'minor accident' in airplane language.

Them wings is long. I once hit a sock pole while pushing the glider. Pretty expensive- for the glider not for the pole. This will cost a bit more.

You fly full size gliders,...that must be a great past time, sorta like sailing, but with another dimension added.

I've not flown anything full size, just RC stuff.

To tell you the truth, it's nothing like sailing (imho). First of all you're comfortable, protected from elements, the view is pretty great and the work load minimal. Plus, I get sea sick in moderate seas. No thanks!

My thoughts were in relation to the lack of any kind of motor noise, while still having the ability to travel some were.

I don't get sea sick,...almost had an opportunity to get up in one in Hawaii, they seemed to use the air moving up a cliff for lift.

Was standing there on the beach on my last day, waiting for the glider to land, and then noticed the guy running the show seemed to be in a bit of a panic, as I understand the wind direction changed in such a way that he was concerned his partner was not going to get the glider back down to the beach.

I did get some air time in a replica Waco open cockpit biplane while in Hawaii though, we did loops, wing overs, rolls and a spin,...and yes the view was spectacular over the mountains.
