This thread discusses the Content article: THE TALE OF THE ARAB FLIGHT CREW

This definitely beats the Mercedes sports car test drive by Breznjev on the Mercedes factory circuit. Ignition, start, wall crash at 30 feet. Total loss. Mercedes sent the new car afterwards.

Do you know the nationality of the crew? If they are Abu Dhabi nationals it would have been predictable.
The tales are endless and they are all true.

Dumb asses.

This illustrative of Islam's ass-backwards culture. They have the unearned cash to buy technology but they have neither the technical training nor common sense to use it properly. I'm waiting to hear about Iran's own Chernobyl.

What a complete bunch of moslem dumb asses....stupid...

My sister saw a fire in Jeddah. The firemen arrived wearing their brand new silver fire-retardent suits.................with the feet cut out, wearing sandals.

Are the throttles located on the same hand side they wipe there ass with?

You want some more of this:
- 2 Saudi F-15 fly in North Saudi air space and their Friend or Foe Identification device warns of a "Foe" airplane in the North of where they are. Both plane crews eject and return home with the tale of an Israeli attack, except there were no Israeli planes anywhere in sight or on radar.
- An English fighter pilot instructor flies with a patrol of 5 Abu Dhabi Air Force jets to teach them to fly in formation for an airshow on national day. Over the Gulf they have Iranian planes on the radar and they all scramble in panic "towards Iran". The instructor could return 2 safely to base, the others crashed in the Gulf.
- The Saudi navy has German diesel submarines. They NEVER went diving with a Saudi crew. When they dive they fly in a full crew from Germany.

I have always believed the Russians got a bad rap somewhat for their weapon systems, because they let the most incompetent group of humans on the face of the Earth take their toys and have at the Israelis-- one of the most motivated and intellectual groups of people-- with Western organization and culture. If a Roman general could come forward in time, he would look at the Jews and conclude they were Romans, and the surrounding countries were made up of the basest collection of Huns, Gauls, and Celts, albeit with significant tans.

There is an excellent book called, appropriately, "Arabs At War", that makes the decisive case Arabs are culturally incompetent with technology and most particularly weapons and tactics. This is but one more example of how dangerous they are when given Western toys.

Hopefully no one was killed.

Someone should nominate them for a Darwin Award. They would win hands down. Maybe islam should be nominated for a Darwin Award, as the religion most likely to kill its own practicioners?
