No. The underside of the wings are painted white, making it difficult to discern their outline.

If you look just over that wall, there appears to be a gap where you can see whatever is behind the aircraft (I enlarged the image quite a bit).

It appears we are looking at the top of the aircraft, not the bottom.
Agreed, my mistake. I should have said the tops of the wings are painted white.

The circle is definitely an eye opener. That ride must have been horrific for the pilots, gave me chills seeing that picture.
Was just there yesterday and have a crew headed up there tomorrow.

They did say they found a wing in a near by building if I remember the report earlier. My guess they hit the building before this pic and sheared the wing

I just absolutely relish the notion of sitting down with some junk-bond billionaire and explaining to them, with pictures and everything, how I, their eminently qualified chauffeur, am allowed (nay, encouraged) to do things with their skylimo which the Gummint has decided are too dangerous to do with a bus-load of inconsequential peasants.

After looking at that image I'm going to disagree, the airplane appears to have both wings. Not to mention the Lear wing is one piece, it's bolted to the bottom of the fuselage. Hard to imagine them stressing it hard enough to break it that close to landing, if my old brain recalls correctly it has 7 spars, not exactly flimsy.

Every time I'm at school I ask for real world circles but instead we get Kjfk or kmem, places we'll obviously never get a circle but the graphics look pretty and apparently that's what the federales care about.

Are you suggesting that doing the 4L at JFK circle to 31R and "turn over the cartoon factory" or (my personal favorite) "hit the timer and turn 045 at 30 seconds" isn't Read-World? Sir, I believe you might be endangering the profits of a successful Murican Enterprise! To the Camps with him.

Not much different from the response at Fsi and Cae. I've got a JFK trip next month. I'm going to request 4l circle to 31r, see how hard I'm laughed at.

You're a communist. First up against the wall!

It comes down to stable approach. It's drilled in our heads in every training event and nothing about that approach is stable.

mmmmmm wine
Define stable, nothing about that approach is stable?

Sure, if I'm flying a 172 into some random west Texas airfield it's probably no problem, but flying commercial ops in high performance airplanes with tight spacing, ground obstructions, base tailwinds, blind spots. Not stable. Not necessary
