Bermuda425 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Amazing, that'S WHY tiedowns exist. And they have to be strong in order to tie the plane down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc_Z Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Actually saw that happen. J-3 Cub parked outside FBO while pilot ran into town. Thunderboomer comes along, wind picks up Cub, whicj hover for a few seconds then blows over backwards before anybody inside could get to it. Pilots swore he had tied it down.

Triplane Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Sometimes people need tie-downs too. Check this out at about the 10 min mark. Newbies learn the hard way that it's wise to hold onto the fence when a 744 spools up for takeoff. No wonder this is my favorite bar in the whole world.

Hobnobs Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Yes, a 747 at full chat is going to make short work of anyone standing behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alehead Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 The elevator was full nose up as well... looks like that caused the rotation, the change in angle of attack led to the lift-off... Expensive mishap... A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
