Well, the engines are producing thrust, pushing it forward, while the air-resistance, or drag, is pushing it backwards. Gravity is pulling the plane down and the air flowing around the wings lifts the plane up.

So when thrust is greater than drag and lift is greater than gravity... WHHHOOOOSSHSHSHHH!!!

And that's how she flies.

Sorta - it's also a lot of dancing on the brakes and elevator controls - and amazing dancing at that.

Well, it's no skin off his nose

They still fly 707s!

My grandmother taught me how to say 'shit in vinegar' but I don't know how it's spelled. I feel like yelling that might be appropriate.

Iranians speak Farsi, by the way, not Arabic.

You mean the one full of guys going "Allahu Ackbar!!!" and shooting their AK-47s into the air?

Nah, I saw a toyota commercial where a 727 lands without nose gear. The plane lands in the bed of the pickup, its all cgi, but I can't help appreciate the timing of this and the commercial.

not soon enough

Didn't they, uh...when was the last time they did that? And the first time?

WHAT?!? Iranians didn't die? Fuck this video!
