Cool

and many more during landing, which I´m sure can be described as 'a fairly dangerous maneuver'

LONDON (27 June) - It was reported here today that an XXX Airways Jumbo impacted the ground at more than 160 mph at Heathrow Airport today. An airline spokesman refused to comment, but people were heard to remark that it was fortunate indeed that the pilot had his wheels extended and managed to cunningly steer the heavy jet away from buildings to impact the ground on a long grey tarred strip with white markings on it.
There were no injuries.
