(good old journos--never let the truth get in the way of a good story ; gets everyone clicking . Whats that old quip ? --"reporters don't go to airports to see aircraft landing safely" )
The aileron and rudder control inputs shown in that video are massive. I don't know whether that is real, or just done for video dramatics. Also, in one of the cockpit shots, the lhs pilot appears to be controlling ailerons/elevator, but rhs pilot is controlling throttles. Is that really how its done?
