    Yup, and it was deadly for everybody onboard:(
    Practiced it numerous times in the simulator: Thrust reverser deployed just after lift off, only way to survive is to shut down the engine immediately..

    Another reminder why I don't fly in the rear with the gear any more.

    What a Great Idea. Bird is intact. It was in mostly fresh water.

    I just built a dock and don't have 2 coins to rub together to contribute.
    But I can watch,, ya know,, I like to watch..

    If you really knew the story there was alot of insurace fraud. Scuppers were blocked off on on of them and witer tight doors left open. Also one that sank off Hilsboro was captain error. Oh no the captain wouldnt take the boat out in high seas in a shallow inlet at that. The first mate was forced to do it and slammed the bottom so hard that there was a bunch of sand in the bilge.
