    Red face Perhaps Captain, you were just a tad bit nose high that time!

    Been a while since I posted, but this is the first time I ever lost my tail.
    I simply couldn't resist. Nice Russian T144 leaving it's tail behind at LAX. A Southwest 737 pulled out onto 25R as I was coming in, I pulled up and right, clipped the 737 and brought the T144 down just past him. I lost control and ended up on 25L without a tail. My crew and passengers survived, but the Southwest 737 wasn't so lucky.

    I realize I am probably luckier than average so i'm adding another "walked away from crash. (and detect crashes was on on both of these settings,)

    This was a Continental 747 whose landing gear didn't deploy and I landed on the grass next to 4L in Honolulu.

    Another Oooooooops. I must say John that I was never that lucky, so I've turned detect crashes off.

    Каким образом я должен знать, что такое controler в виду, когда он говорит,"go around."?

    Translated Russian to Englich

    How in the world was I supposed to know what the controller meant when he said "go around."?
