Jak 40 is a jet. Three engine jet. Up to 32 passengers. And they could try this dangerous and weird maneuver because it is STOL.

I'm not a pilot and I was very reluctant to write here but when I read such an "info" I could not bear it...
You're right, you shouldn't write when obviously you can't read irony. Anyone who's ever seen a Jak 40 take-off will understand it's only theoretically a "three engine large jet". It wouldn't fly if earth were flat. Small Cessna climbs better.
