For all you Airbus fans it is no secret that there are weight problems which Airbus are working on.This picture was shot in a secret location of an aircraft which might give FS developers an insite as to what they need to be doing to their FS release ;-)Peterhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/108602.jpg

Better than the ElAl Jumbo which elected to return to Schiphol when it lost an engine and ended up crashing into a residential area of Amsterdam.ATC had mistaken their report "we've lost an engine" to mean they lost power when in fact the engine had dropped from the wing.

Didn't a jet departing LAX drop an engine on the beach a while back when it hit a "large bird". Never did figure out if they found out what bird it was, the debate at the time was pelican or albatross.----------------------------------------------------------------John MorganReal World: KGEG, UND Aerospace Spokane Satillite, Private ASEL 141.2 hrs, 314 landings, 46 inst. apprs.Virtual: MSFS 2004"There is a feeling about an airport that no other piece of ground can have.
