AIRBUS "MAD STUNT" with $1.5 billion worth of Airplanes.
I have to give kudos to Airbus for having the guts to do this using five test
A350-900 XWB airplanes, its newest wide-body airliner. I know the stunt
was well calculated and the pilots—all of them ex-military
aviators—knew exactly what they were doing, but the entire thing still
looks insane.
Especially
when one of the planes is the one they are delivering today to Qatar
Airlines (this was filmed in September to celebrate their certification
by the European Aviation Safety Agency.) One thing is to do this with jet fighters, but these are 213-foot (64.8-meter) wingspan flying beasts.
The action starts at 3:35. [Thanks Andrew Gorenstein!]
