I'm sure all remember early airbus bird, that with the Company
Pilot and Airbus Wheels in it, made a slow low altitude pass over,
I forget just what they were having on the ground,and bird got
behind the power curve and sank into the trees and crashed. Red
faces all over Airbus.
And the pilot Michel Asseline is still in jail, I hear 
I don;t htink he did much, if any time, in fact..
He was originally sentenced to 6 months in jail, and 12 months
probation. He appealed, and the sentence was increased to 10 months
in jail, and 10 months on probation.
He eventually served the full ten months in jail, and has been
released.
Yeah, sounds about right.
i think he was mae a scapegoat, myself.
