Moments from disaster! OMG! (Spoiler alert! No ball of flame, no nuns, no school averted, nobody died) https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news...paign=sharebar |
But what about the children ???

|
Thank God it didn't land. The wheels would have been nicked.

Unless things have changed, this is pretty standard. As long as the wheels do not actually touch the runway, the RAF isn't billed a landing fee.
|
It missed the ground by only one foot? How dangerous was THAT?

Didn't dare touch down in case some scouser knicked the wheels.
|
The reporter ought to spend some time at Gloucestershire with the A400M doing go-arounds, what a pathetic 'news' story.
|
Rumour is the Daily Mail are already funding the building of an orphanage, a nunnery and a nuclear power plant next to the runway so they can claim the Typhoon narrowly missed them all...
|
NEWSFLASH! TORY INCURSION AVERTED!
|
Now a Ryanair doing a missed approach at Conningsby That may be newsworthy

Having studied the picture it seems obvious that it had in fact been hi-jacked....
|
Liverpool Airshow it seems...
Now a Blackjack doing a missed approach would have been news [or visiting dear friends!] |

Yep many many moons ago a new Chinook HC1 dropped a guy off at Speke who was going on leave, they hover taxied in, he jumped down and they passed his bag to him and then hover taxied out, they sent a bill and we pointed out it hadn't landed, they checked, confirmed it and the bill was cancelled.

Even without actually doing a touch & go the Typhoon will have incurred a charge of nearly £3000 for that approach, most sensible RAF crews go elsewhere for their training where they won’t get ripped off, like Newquay Airport. |
It would be nice to see Typhoons circuit bashing at Newquay. Even the usual Atlases have been noticeable by their absence in recent weeks. Has the agreement with Newquay Airport come to an end?
