Virgin Australia near bellyflop at Brisbane Airport?
Yet another issue for VA, this time at Brisbane. It feels like VA make sure they have a high level incident of some sort on quite a regular basis. But shhhhh, don't tell Il Deuce, he is too busy 'game changing' to notice. Better not tell Tid'bin'dildo either, he doesn't like negative comments about VA on UP. Isn't that right Captain?

I've been pretty busy so I hadn't heard much talk about it, very hush hush. A source told me the aircraft came within 150 feet of pancaking into the pavement. I can't confirm that though. Anyone else heard anything?
Jeez Hoody, you really ought to beef up the numbers of your Investigators mate, seems to me that the incidents just keep on coming!!
