[Scan-DC] Freqs for Dulles RE: Fw: Open Skies

[Dewey]

That's like saying the Airbus A31x/A32x family looks like a copy of the 737
(no harshness intended).  There's only so many variances that you will get
from the "traditional" passenger aircraft before they just won't fly.  When
the engines are mounted on the rear of the fuselage, you almost have to go
with the traditional whale tail, or the engines are going to burn up the
rear stabilizers.  The Falcon 50 has always looked funny to me since it
looks like a mini 727, but the rear stabilizers are only half way up the
tail.

And here's one that lands after losing flight controls, steering via
engine/throttle control, forward to 5:50 for the landing:

It's a tough bird. This one survived an electrical failure and landed on an
abandoned, snow-covered runway, clearing out a couple of hundred yards of
brush . It took off from the same runway. At 1:30 - shows the plane in the
brush:
