[Rhodes22-list] More crabbing

[Brad Haslett]

Mike,

I've never been able to find the true story behind the video but I've been
told it was at Edwards and "flown" via remote control.  Stressed beyond its
limits?  Ya think?

BTW, nothing new on the BA-777 at Heathrow but they did a software upload
two days before and that's being looked at as well as electronic devices in
use in the cabin.  Whatever happened to good old fashioned cables?
