"I love a good flyby like the rest of us....................but I can't say I think that one was too cleaver. A bit low and slow."

...Actually you just proved that you don't. Fly-bys at higher altitudes are lame.

"Glad they didn't have an engine failure then."

...Would have been a non event. They looked clean and most likely where quite light. I'm sure the GE-90 would have had no problems dealing with it, especially being that the engines ARE BRAND NEW. I would much rather have an engine failure when clean than in the landing configuration. Would you say the same if they had just done a regular ol' touch and go??

"I hear some on the 3rd floor aren't too impressed by it, I can see why."

...Ah, when is the last time that anything the 3rd floor was impressed with was good? You are talking about the people who write our manuals and set company policy now. Surely you don't seem to imply that they have good judgment and aviation know-how?

"thoughts?????"

...yeah, but I don't want my post to be edited and it really isn't worth it.
