    I thought you might be interested in seeing this one minute video clip of what has to be one of the most skillful aircraft recoveries by a pilot in history. It is simply an amazing feat of airmanship and presence of mind. !s00k

    Bob, you probably need to update your Flash Player or enable your Java applets.

    Im inclined to agree with bobj. A clever bit of video editing with power director I think is responable for this..........the clues are there. But thats still makes it a clever bit of work..

    I didn't want to say anything last night, as thought it was a joke, I've nearly spoilt a few at times, and realising as I was just about to post.
