Some serious skills on display landing an ANZ (Air New Zealand) wheels up.
Great commentary from 1:07 to 1:12.

"A wise professor once told me, a good landing is one you can walk away from, a great landing is one you can use the plane again."

The TAIC report has a great still image of the moment the props disintegrated too.

Bill opens up a vintage "black box" from a Delta airlines jetliner. He describes how the box withstands high temperatures and crash velocities because it is made from Inconel: A superalloy steels that is used in furnaces and others extreme environments. The flight data recorder he shows is a Sundstrand FA-542 and was likely used on a DC-9 in the 1970s, although it could have been used as late as 1988 on a Boeing 727.

It was a while ago, I know, but I just came across these stunning images from the delivery of the Nancy Bird-Walton A380 to QANTAS back in 2008. Thanks to the photographer Rob Neil for granting permission to use his images in this post. See more of his work at Pacific Wings Magazine. from wikipedia article "Her name on the A380 was originally written "Nancy Bird-Walton", but Qantas respected her preference for the hyphenation that her late husband used ("Nancy-Bird"), and the hyphen was added before the aircraft's naming ceremony."
