Ah yes, the sensationalist Sun...

Plane skims roof


Not quite, I've photographed planes from Myrtle Avenue numerous times and can categorically say they do NOT fly over rooftops..  ::)
They're at least 400 metres away and would not be in danger of landing on somebody's landing, if you'll pardon the pun  ;D

its the sun, what were you expecting.  im surprised thay have not blamed it on the pilot for being on some cocaine binge with 3 prostitutes the night before.



lol  :D  my dad says that the sun is written for people who read it with a mentality age of 8.



Eight years old, that will be the advanced Sun readers club ;D ;D
You should try the Bild Zeitung here in Germany, a cross between the Sun and the Daily Sport, the main difference being the Bild does not have a daily nipple count on the front page. The "stories" though, are about the same.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I was about to say to say that the media has just lost all credibility in reporting this incident. Then I realized The Sun was a tabloid.
