    I'd go for the Stingray with that lethal pointed tail. Sharkey might have some teeth on him but he's got to get up close to use 'em.

    My plan B for any eventuality is find a nearby pub.

    You're probably correct, but the shark probably can travel with much greater speed in water, perhaps giving him the advantage due to having a greater element of surprise in an attack ? Vision probably similar for both? They almost look like mates in your clip. :emoticon-0100-smile They may both die if the toxin in the sting is relatively slow in reacting ?

    Never thought about slow toxin so you could be right there.

    Landed at LBA.about 17-30 from Tenerife done hundreds of flights over the years and never worried at all.This was like been in a washing machine blooming good pilot to get that down. We were only the second flight to land that day . A line of coaches outside dropping passengers off from all over southern airports were they had been diverted too.

    Ha, it's great fun, unless you hit a tree, but then riding/riding pillion on a motorbike at high speeds unnerves the **** out of me, so it's all relative.

    First flight I can remember when the passengers mainly brits applaud on landing, seen Americans do it but they're fanny's anyway. As we drove (is that the right word) to the parking place/gate there was a load of photographers at the end of the runway viewing area. Pilot said it was the gustiness of the wind that was the problem and explained the the sudden drops and lifting of the plane. Imagine pushing on into a headwind so you're giving the engine full beans and the headwind suddenly stops so you back off the throttle to reduce speed then all of a sudden the wind is back and now you drop like a stone.
    Entertaining it was.
