Boeing 747 Dreamlifter Wake Turbulence (haha)

[Scania]

Hey Folks

Well incase you don't know what the Boeing 747 LCF Dreamlifter is, I'll type up a short description to fill you in.

The Boeing 747 LCF Dreamlifter is a converted Boeing 747-400 to transport fuselage parts, wings etc for the new Boeing 787-Dreamliner. It has a lenth to live up to of 235ft 2inc. (71.68 metres). It has an overall wingspan of 211 ft 5 in (64.4 m) so its wingspan is nearly equal to its body lenth, and it stands at a total height. 70 ft 8 in (21.54 m). It has a MTOW - (Maximum Takeoff Weight of 364,235kg (803,000lbs).

Here is a short summary of what the LCF looks like.

The first 747 Large Cargo Freighter (LCF) was rolled out of the hangar at Taiwan International on August 17, 2006. It successfully completed its first test flight on September 9, 2006 from this airport. On 16/9/2006 N747BC arrived at the Boeing Field, Seattle to complete the flight test program. Swing-tail testing was done at the Boeing factory in Everett. The second airplane, N780BA, made its inaugural test flight on 16 Debruary 2007. The third has begun modification in 2007. The first two LCFs entered service in 2007 to support the final assembly of the first Dreamliners.

During a test flight in November 2006, a unlucky Cessna 172 was being used for a training flight, when it encountered the Dreamlifters wake turbulence. The small General Aviation aircraft was accidentally, rapidly descented by 1,000 feet of altitude, before the tuition pilot was able to regain control of the GA aircraft at just 150 feet ASL. (Just 46m high!)

I thought that above was quite funny, but meanwhile somewhat 'dangerous'.

Thanks for reading ;)

Hilariously funny....

Then again, I wouldn't expect a n00b like you, who thinks they have more real life hours than anyone on the forum but admitted you have 2 to understand the extreme seriousness of wake turbulence.

Lol seriously. Shut up and go away. You've proved your point and your the only fool to keep going on about it. Your like a bloody 2 year old throwing mud. Even Scott D had to admit you were for having your tongue right down the back of that poor dolphins fishy throat!

Oh well, at least I don't deem it neccessery to lie about how many real life flying hours I've had!! - You find it funny that wake turbulence nearly caused a crash, that shows how sick, sad and immature you are. Re the dolphin thing, everybody did it so why shouldn't I participate? - :).

Your just a lying immature child, I suggest you grow up and take your stupid threads somewhere else - There is nothing funny about this at all, your immaturity really does show here.

Personally, I do not find a near-death experience funny.

[cocaine]

one can only agree with the above and the person above the above :)

How sad was Adam saying he phoned up the CAA to check my hours, when he clearly didn't.

If he did, you would note that I infact do have real world hours.

Are you kidding?

Has that plane even been produced!

I clearly did phone the CAA up (well I got my instructor too), who said you had 2 hours, which you later admitted to me on MSN ;)

Now your going to tell me since we had that conversation, where you appologised for lying saying your grandad died etc - You've some how accumulated more hours than me in real world? :eusa_wall

[Technologic]

I think you should all stop biting at each others necks.. although i have to say whoever edited those posts overreacted a little...

On topic: I still can't see how those planes fly.. they're bloody enormous

Because lying is pathetic, there is no need for it - He tried to be better than others, which he isn't.

I don't care that I have more flying hours, I really don't care!

Also, I very much doubt that you go up in the cockpit of a 738 every other Monday.

Certainly not anymore, however, I did :)

[lew!]

Well if he wants to lie, then he can be pathetic (No offence)
If you still want to brag, then you can brag.

But nobody really wants to hear it.

I've got nothing to brag about...

Yes, I'm further on the PPL course than most people here - So what? They will get there eventually :S - It's just, the lying bit which I cannot stand.

Maybe someone is further on I don't know.. A driving course than someone else, nothing to brag about? - Also nothing to lie about.

[lew!]

Then ignore his posts? Simple.

I fully intend to do just that.
