If my memory ser......

Apologies guys, looks like memory did not serve me well! It was a A320 flight from Mulhouse with a flypast at Habsheim in 1988. I mistook the Strasborg accident to be a flypast; likewise there was one in Bangalore, again a revenue flight. In the A330 prang it was not a flypast but the lesson here is that despite all the preparation, there is a big chance of a screw up. So an unplanned flypast ( albeit IW must have planned it in his head or in the sim...now who had authorised his use of the sim for such a stunt? Another unauthorised event? ) without the necessary forethought on how it could have affected others could have unforseen results. The A320 prang in Habsheim was a testosterone driven ego trip, so was this recent CX one albeit it ended with high fives and champagne.
