How the fuck does that thing fly with that great big tree in the front of it?

It was a green engine. Way ahead if its time. I think the Nissan leaf uses the same one.

With a side-order of "how the fuck did I get away with that?"

It's an empty field, except for that one tree!

Target fixation. It's a common phenomenon.

At that height, I wouldn't want to have to do an emergency evacuation jumping off the wing without a ramp...

You've got me wondering what the glide characteristics of a concorde shaped plane are like now. Something like a dart I would imagine.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
Keeping the nose up at low speeds for take off and landing I think.

I think the trailing edge would be quite close to the ground given the angle of attack when on the undercarriage. Hopefully the engines would be off when you wanted to jump…
Its yet another glorious Soviet engineering masterstroke. Years ahead of its time and shamelessly stolen by those Imperialist pigs in NATO.

The Wright Flyer had canards.
Not those canards though you NATO bootlicker.

That’s another ‘first paragraph of a novel I’d read’ right there!

I hope the prize was awarded on the basis of the quality of the writing rather than the reported events, as otherwise it would seem unfair to other pupils without access to such activities.

Just because for every year of your school career you started that essay with “I went to Finland…”

If I lived there I’d try to slip a few banknotes into the pilot’s pocket to see if he would accidentally drop a bit of it directly on my house.

On less spectacular aviation news, I was in Bradford on Avon last Saturday night and we observed in the distance what must have been two single-prop planes perform a fireworks display that were shot off from the planes themselves.
I don’t think they were drones. Too far away to see the aircraft properly but their wingspan, the way they flew and looped, and the distinctive single propeller noise we could hear leads me to believe they must have been manned planes.
Is this a thing in the UK now? Judging by where they were flying over it looked like they were over Bath itself, but I cannot find any news online. It was bloody impressive even from 6-8 miles away.
