And brakes!

I'd like to know which bits fell off.

Edit - interview with passenger - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24467599

He couldn't reach the pedals - fair enough.

My backside sucking on the seat would have generated enough gravitational pull to bring the crate to a screeching halt

All jokes aside, landing is the hardest part of flying.

I think old boy woulda had some trouble if this was a passenger jetliner, and not a light plane, as the flying dynamics are simpler, and the minimum speeds, alot less.

Good for him, and the crew that talked him down, not an easy task at all.

You see this bit on the right hand side -

- well if you click that for each post it combines them all into one nice and neat reply.

And then it would only make you one closer to Jim's postcount not three.

Well done.

I think you need a German keyboard for the umlaut.

(or really just find the ascii/html Alt-code for the desired letter.)

Here you go, just copy / paste them to some text file and save it. You can then always copy them into your posts.
