The city I live in is directly in line with two MSP runways and close to the line of another.  We see about 10 planes a minute fly over, and usually about 7 of those 10 are NWA DC-9's.

Is this pilot a bad pilot?


If he got the permission for that, no. But if he did that without permission he probably needs his brains exermined- you can't just pull off a one-man-stunt-show over a busy airport like FRA.

I always watching SAS's A340's come in. And Korean Air sometimes will send in a 747-400.

They always fly lower to the ground... Im not sure why...

Korean Air Cargo makes veeeeeeeery low passes (like when they are about 30 secs from landing) over my schools with their 744. Looks like the plane is crashing in the woods nearby when the plane passes so low.

'Cause it can be kinda dangerous. What do you think would happen if a CX-plane crashed because of such stunts and investigators found out that the company accepted such stuff?

And besides, those planes are quite expensive. Lufthansa for example lost two B720s because the pilots tried to do a barrel roll in them :shock:

Because they didn't follow their own proceedures? I mean why not just ignore their MEL (Minimum Equipment List) when they have a part missing off the aircraft since its ok to do a low-pass without permission?

He threw away £250,000 a year just for that.

I tried to ask him why but he didn't want to talk about it.

(But would you tell your Colleagues' Nephews' friend  :P )
