Wow, that would be terrifying. Nice work by the crew getting it on the ground safely.

Its a Russki 727, no wonder

Show this video to anyone who advocates putting people on or flying a large UAV over populated areas.

No-hander lander.

Ah, the finest USSR technology. I'm sure it was maintained impeccably.

Hell, I need a sick sack after watching that 'Dutch Roll' demo.

Wow, Nice job to the crew. Wonder what the issue was? Besides the "control surfaces going completely bonkers." like the article described.

"Control surfaces going completely bonkers" is actually the technical term. Fortunately it's in the QRH:

Control Surfaces Going Completely Bonkers Checklist --

1. Curse engineers.........Roundly
2. PA............"Fasten seatbelts; nothing wrong"
3. Call...........Chuck Norris to land airplane
4. Get job............Flying something else.

Well played sir.

They must have crossed the wires between the lav and the yaw damp.

I think it was just following a Russian ILS.

Borrowed from the thread on stuckmic, was too good to pass up :yup:

 

[Ecl!pse]

Some serious Dutch Roll action there.

According to the authorities it was the flight engineer's error. Somehow he messed up connecting ABSU (automated control system) to the power source.
