^ It's amazing to me that a grown, intelligent human being walked up that thing and said.....'yeah, I'll drive it!'
Even more amazing is the fact that after he sat between those jet engines, he was still apt to do it.
Men of speed are amazing individuals! Really amazing.

He was a fast jet pilot before, so I guess the idea that he wouldn't fall out of the air was kind of re-assuring.

For sure the speed probably suited him, but I've known pilots that are more at ease in the sky than on a track or street because there are fewer things to hit and the ground is not an immediate one.

"Hey honey, I'll pick up dinner on the way home"
Seriously tho, I know a lot of people that have hit deer and thrown them in the back of their truck or car and driven them home to gut them. Free veal FTW!

Then you don't know many pilot that have flown to and from international airports
There's plenty of things out there to hit you, and fast, the only reassuring thing being there should be far fewer idiots up there.

Granted. But their not doing 600+mph when they land.
The Navy pilots I know still have the fear nerve; the most stressful thing they have to do is land. But to them doing mach 1+ is a walk in the park in the air. Not so easy rolling on the ground. I've actually had this conversation with two of them; we were talking about land speed vs air speed and neither had any desire to achieve that kind of speed on the ground, but would jump at the chance to fly an F-22. They're g-force junkies (self admitted) but not speed junkies.

A bird strike is not supposed be able to take a engine out, they're even supposed to handle multiple strikes all proven in testing and certification but it still happens in the real world from time to time. That 757 above is on approach so a engine stike isn't as much of a danger as on take off but it is never good and those pilots would have sent out a nice alert about it for following traffic.
That is quite a photo.

Alright we've seen people posting computer images get flamed for posting non-real images here, but I cannot think of a better place for this:

Been there a hundred times, the Samba forum is awesome, and the referene to the Kaufdorf junkyard is way cool. I'd pay dearly to walk that place, and I'd pay even more to stay around for a week with a camera.

Don't like VW beetles much eh? I suppose you have a snuff film of a beetle being crushed squirreled away in your sock drawer.
