Didn't break up?
What, even after it hit the ground at 600+ kts?
No wonder the 146 manages to put up with Aer Lingus landings at London City every day!
ps, I thought the problem of pulling out of a +mach1 situation was elevator flutter. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a B727 doesn't have a moving tailplane, but normal elevators. How did the pilot of the B727 manage to recover when so many of our spitfires died due to this problem?
