Just enter your answer in a comment.  I’ll be keeping score (massive bonus points for being the first, but you still get a point for being right).  I will also give bonus points for any informative, snarky, witty, or otherwise hilarious comments.

Ok, this is cool. I’m not in to RC airplanes, for no reason at all really, but this one would be an absolute blast to fly. I’ve been told it’s the largest RC airplane flying, and it sure looks like it.

Crosswinds are tough, there’s no question about it.  Sometimes we forget how difficult it is to bring such a large object as a jumbo safely to the runway.  You didn’t see this one coming ;)

FedEx MD-11 Crashes in Tokyo

By miller22 | March 23, 2009

Yesterday, a FedEx MD-11 crashed at Tokyo’s Narita airport on landing.  There is some spectacular video of the crash from what looks like one of the airport security cameras.  I will warn the readers, that this is a difficult video to watch for some.

Airplanes don’t just crash like this.  It’s important to remember that the pilots flying FedEx’s MD-11’s tend to be senior, and thus more experienced.  You’re going to hear about the bad landing technique, and even though I’m one to criticize bad landing technique, there’s too much unknown here to start pointing fingers at the pilots.
