Impressive, would have been much worse if the tiedowns were not in place though. Something seriously failed there, just glad it wasnt me at the controls, brown adrenaline......just listen to those engines shut down half way through the run. They must have cacked themselves as they were along for the ride as getting out would have been more dangerous.

Spotted recently........

From an old carrier sailor...

If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter -- and therefore, unsafe."

and..

"If something hasn't broken on your helicopter, it's about to."


Also, I know it's got nothing to do with this thread but here it is anyway....
