And, BTW: The gentleman is correct, it was a revenue flight (never
said otherwise) but it was also a pre-arranged demonstration flyby of
the new aircraft. This is why there is a very good video of the whole
event.

Wow John, I never knew ANYBODY understood 'bus flight control laws. I
always thought they had been delivered hundreds of years ago by aliens
to the Oracles of Delphi :-)
So, John, have you guys sim'd the scenario that the A-300 faced after
it was zapped leaving Baghdad? In short what would the loss of all
hydraulics, and use of control surfaces, coupled with that kind of
airfoil degradation do to a more modern 'bus flight control
automation?
