I'm sure most remember that was not at all what happened. Red faces all
over Air France when their hot shot demo pilot had a "Hey, watch this"

Especially when his stunt exposed serious problems with the aircraft
fly-by-wire software ... serious enough to require doctoring the black box so
that nobody would find out about them. That was when I wrote Airbus off
permanently. Safety obviously wasn't a priority.


That's a bit too unreasonable. Don't think it was a software problem,
btw, but of the engines of that time requiring a certain spool-up
time. That's how an A320 came down rather close to my backyard 18
years ago in Bangalore.
