    747 lift without engines running

    Must have been pretty strong winds! But no engines to weigh it down by the looks of it.
    Cheap flight sim I suppose ; )

    Must try and find the photos I had of the Fedex Md11 sitting on its ar$e in Sydney. Nothing to do with wind, more about loading the rear before the front.

    Yep, too true. Happens rather a lot around the freighter world.

    It was the rule of thumb flying a C210 a long time ago ( and probably still is out bush ). If it sits on its arse without you in it, it's out of balance. Rearrange the fat fishermen or freight and then you're good to go.
