Commercial Airliners

Probably not relevant but, when we lived in Lincolnshire in the 1970s, we could watch a Vulcan bomber turn over the house at approximately hourly intervals and set off in a different direction. They were probably from RAF Waddington or RAF Scampton. I found out fairly recently that the weapons were stored about four miles from where we lived.
 
Sort of speculating you were on the ale when posting......

You just need to hop on one of those darned commercial airliners and make your way to NZ, and I will happily buy you a beer.

I probably was! But someone above may have a military background, or HVAC certification, and we sorely miss a poster with such pedigree.
 

Not a commercial airliner.....but an F/A-18 landing on a carrier in not the greatest weather.

Note how he goes to 100% throttle right before touchdown (as the jet engines need time to spool up and build thrust - done incase he misses the arresting wires, but turbo-prop engined planes (eg the C-2 Greyhound) get instant power with their throttle, so they land with 0 or low throttle)

 
WASHINGTON (WJLA) - A pilot who landed a flight at Dulles Airport in Virginia Friday morning reports that "pretty much everyone on the plane threw up" during the windy descent. "Very bumpy on descent," the pilot's report reads. "Pretty much everyone on the plane threw up. Pilots were on the verge of throwing up." The turbulence was the result of a powerful Nor'easter that has brought damaging wind gusts throughout the DC area Friday morning.

The report and others from the morning are posted on the National Weather Service's Aviation Weather Center's page.
