"When questioned about his low pass, the Air France Captain stated that the glideslope error was probably a result of confusion, due to his recent upgrade from flying a Beechcraft"

You know Captain, I've always thought that arguing with French ATC is like wrestling with a pig in the mud; after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Okay Captain...you're right, it is the best beach in the world. Now, can we please get some altitude?

The crowd of plane spotters gasped in amazement when they realised planes had to come in so low in order to land.

Trials of the new Boeing 747-VTOL went ahead at Air France today. While some of the captains are looking forward to show off their flying skills to local spotters, the finance department is more excited by the possibility of huge savings on landing fees by "avoiding the airport altogether and just using whatever space there is"...
