Fun Stuff > CHATTER
The US Government does it stupid (also: airplanes are fucking awesome)
Alex C:
Plus, beyond 9/11 fears, they did just kinda have a guy ditch in the Hudson river. It's not like a pilot has to be malicious in order to kill you with an aeroplane.
valley_parade:
I still like that a guy crashed a plane into a river and is regarded as a national hero.
Tyler:
Yeah, motherfucker saving 100 lives and shit.
Drill King:
Oh god I love airplanes, I bet these pictures are ridiculously sexy.

They're not being trained to fly for the first time, that would be absolutely retarded. Which is why they don't do it like that. Beginner flight training takes place well away from populated areas and it kinda doesn't involve 747s. Ever. It involves such machines as the T-38 (the T stands for Trainer, whereas the F in F-16 stands for fighter. Those military guys are kinda creative!), which is a tiny little fuck of a jet plane.
The training most likely involved close intercept with a large transport airplane, or the escort thereof.
(I hang out with the people at the Defense Attaché Office at the Embassy pretty frequently, the military aren't all baby-killers)
