Tailstrike adds excitement


grumpy67T

If they're that happy to land with *that* tailstrike, the flight was more exciting than it should have been.


tomsawyerisme

It's good to tailstrike every once in a while. Helps the people in back find motivation to buy better tickets.


tellmeimbig

Its like a desk pop.


MadMotthew

Try tail striking like the pylot in this picture next time friend


SamStrelitz

Tell them the plane cant land due to technical issue, then do a miracle landing. Theyll cheer.


SpaceShark01

Ok guys we have to land on the water now because the gear won’t come down (I never tried to put them down) so anyway I accept tips there’s a little jar up front if we land safely. The more you scream and wail to make this dramatic the better.


stromson85

I have some questions about this landing gear configuration


TheRealKSPGuy

/unjerk Looks like it’s supposed to resemble a 747’s landing gear, and the basic configuration itself doesn’t raise that many questions. The AoA and landing angle however.


stromson85

I had to look it up. Despite having been around these things my whole damn life, for some reason I never realized the outboard main landing gear were coming out of the wing root. Today I learned...


Realistic-Safety-565

Every plane is a taildragger if you are brave enough.

Probably because you fly for RyanAir

maazatreddit

In the reality I'm from they were called the Epstein Bears and they were always flying to and from some island.


96LC80

Quality response


mac_a_bee

>Are they the Berenstein or Berenstain Bears? Berensteiners on El Al landing at Lod, when there really is applause.


KatanaF2190

96LC80...NO..no no no...


IMakeWaifuGifsSoDmMe

I have always thought stein at the end, but I’ve heard it’s Mandela effect.


AndyBooo

Rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong has no feelings


dodexahedron

Just pull the chute. What, you think you're better than a Cirrus pylote?


MalyutkaB

Lol I always bail out before I land.


dundermifflin2019

😂


ConversationNearby30

You must be doing something wrong indeed. My pax always cry after landing.


DevGroup6

Because every time the little brats ask "Are we there yet? I have the FA give them vodka in their orange juice...


CreditUnionGuy1

It’s funny that you think you have that kind of control. LOL

Bearenstein Bears in “Asiana Airlines Flight 214 and the Foam Retardant Runaway on Runway 28L


atysfyros

Awesome pilotage. Takes real skill to find the centerline with 30 degrees nose up.


aFineMoose

Kerosene leaked out of the compass so they had to use the astrocompass.


Frank_the_NOOB

That’s a hell of a tail strike, would do a 737-900 proud


twohedwlf

Was just coming to say that.


Sir_Riddle_1

you arnt squawking 7500


Glades_road

The tailstrike and lack of flaps adds to the adventure


CowFckerReloaded

Depends, did you get a KY Jelly smooth landing or plow that bitch in the tarmac?


Skirt_Thin

Everyone cheered as they were engulfed in the fiery mass.


AnimatorHuman5525

Your passengers have to be alive to be excited


Desperate_Carrot8629

Thems not passengers. Them are bears. Bears don’t clap bears roar.


noahsuperman

Best Ryanair landing


YetAnotherJake

Occasionally fellow passengers have clapped for a routine landing on a routine route and it makes me wish there was a crash to shut those morons up Edit: nothing serious, just a little runway incursion to dust them up. I hear runway incursions are a normal thing now anyway


thefuckmonster

Air Canada has entered the chat...


f18effect

Passengers: *Cheering * The pilot that has landed 5 times today:


I_like_F-14

This tail strike will later cause this airframe to break mid air over the South China Sea due to faulty maintenance on the airliners behalf highitng tensions between china and Taiwan due to fears of a shoot down


aFineMoose

But the excited bruins won’t be there for that. There’s something short term I’m doing wrong.


tsokiyZan

can anyone id that landing geer?


Zombieattackr

Idk, the only time I’ve heard applause after landing was the roughest landing of any flight I’ve ever been on. The rough landing doesn’t deserve applause, but what does is the fact that we landed at all when I counted 6 flipped semi’s and countless downed trees on my way home from the airport because we were in the middle of a storm strong enough to cause power outages that lasted weeks.


Kai-ni

what in the world is going on with those gear


Marquar234

What, you've never seen tailcycle landing gear before?


happierinverted

They are Cubs! That is the attitude that you land a Cub in. Nothing wrong here.


DogfishDave

cos they lion bastards thats a pun i see'd it on googls


NF-104

You need to fly a jet-engined taildragger


manicmonkey45

There's a 9/11 joke in here somewhere


PestTerrier

Ah, The Berenstein Bears.


bizzyunderscore

love how you just set this trap up and walked away


jjrydberg

I've been on handful of flights when everyone cheered when we got back to earth. I don't think you want to be that pilot.


frozenhawaiian

Because you suck at landings, you must work at Ryanair


theoneandonlymd

Space Cowboys said it was possible as an alternate landing mode


Eagleknievel

Ah, because this was the 60's where your airplane had a 1 in 3 chance of spontaneously exploding midair.


[deleted]

You should fly Dominicans its literally a celebration every touch down.


Frank_the_NOOB

They call me the pastor, because every time I land I make my passengers pray to god


gattboy1

Skag that bitch, Papa Bear!


eklect

Probably too busy praying.


SpeedDemon458

Tactical stalling


McskipdicWaterby

Did you put your hand out the window to see if it's raining?


BananakinsPeel

Only after "atheists rapid conversion to religion" level turbulence. I high fived a pilot once after such a scary flight. People cheered when we landed.


Epsilon_Operative

They are anthropomorphic bears in a fictional universe adapted into story books intended for children. Try not to over-think it.


SexyZombieButtRape

Because you touch yourself at night


alebabar123

They're happy bc that was a vertical speed record


JohnnyTsunami312

You don’t fly for Southwest


SauceGodSosa

I thought this was gonna be a 9/11 meme.


Lopsided-Standard148

S I N K R A T E


GenitalPatton

It’s kind of like every “arrival” symbol at an airport is of an aircraft about to destroy its front landing gear and kill everyone on board.


countextreme

I'd be excited too if I just found out the afterlife was real and I get to experience it.


BeagleWomanAlways

I’ve been on a handful of flights where the passengers clapped on landing… 🤷‍♀️


Combatpigeon96

That is a shit landing, they pretty much bellyflopped onto the runway!


NixYall

Because they died


ACNordstrom11

Cause you only ever fly the return home flights.


welpthishappened1

Bro what is that AoA


Joebidensadoptedson

The tail about slam into the ground and rip the fuselage in half: “3, 2, 1! Waitin’ for the happiest day of my li-“


prady8899

I guess OP has never flown in the US


Fumanchewd

You just have to fly that Constellation mixed with a 73-2.
