he pretty much dumped it as hs transitioned out of the crab....the plane about pancaked right there. It had to be a Boeing plane...the computer on an Airbus would have never let the pilot have that much control.

Airbus is pretty much persona non grada here in kansas after the tanker debacle on friday

pucker factor was high on that one. Can they disengage Airbus comp control? I can't imagine he wanted to try and make that landing unless he was getting low on fuel?
