they happened quite a few times before . . . when the Russian Tu-124 landed.
Thanks for the heads up. Remind me never to fly on a Russian airliner.
Follow Ups:
I once flew from Helsinki to St. Petersburg on a 737 that looked older than I am. Worn out carpets, broken seat backs, horrible smell in the lavatory, and a hot-rod pilot, who apparently LOVED flying and wanted all 4 passengers on board to know he could! He pushed the old bucket to its limit.
I dunno... but for some strange reason I enjoyed it. The pilot was in his early thirties and reminded me of myself, stupid as I was, but since I made it past 50... and then past 60, I presumed he was going too, so there was no fear at all.
BTW, that Tu-124 was a very sturdy little plane, a derivative of their Tu-16 nuclear bomber. :)
