Some old motorcars used wooden brakes. Maybe it can work for Russia.

I've spent the last two days at the Reno air races, and it's been a mixed bag. The airshow acts are never great, and the racing this year has been decent, but the pilot/owner of the second fastest airplane in the Unlimited class (a 3000+hp P-51) has been spectacularly awful. He's a boomer neurosurgeon, and despite the fact that he's been repeatedly disqualified for various things related to how he flies and clearly doesn't know what he's doing, he absolutely refuses to hire an outside pilot, so he managed to get disqualified in qualifying, successfully raced yesterday without doing anything dumb, and then got DQ'ed again today, and depending on what he did (he may have flown too close to the crowd line in addition to other stuff), he might actually be banned from any flying tomorrow.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:How hasn't he crashed yet? He's likely a decent pilot, but flying 450mph in close formation (with someone who doesn't want you there), in a window between 50-250' off the ground is a completely different skill set, which he obviously doesn't have. He did manage to pass the mandatory pylon racing school all the pilots have to attend, so he's at least theoretically capable of flying the course properly. It's probably good that his lack of skill manifests as flying too high, since he's nowhere near other racers (who typically fly as low a line as possible), and rule/inspection changes after the 2011 Reno crash make it fairly unlikely an airplane will go into the crowd without hitting another airplane first.

It absolutely is, other than the fact that the specific way he was flying erratically (wide/high), increases the chances of sending an airplane into the crowd.

What’s totally awesome about this plan is that it’s totally not needed and it’s just someone tallying up the costs of the crew and the airframe eating it versus properly dismantling it and transporting back to wherever.

There's a chance there's some specialized tools or equipment required to disassemble or move the airplane, and the Russian forgot to steal those, so this is their "best" option. Plus, if it goes wrong, they'll just blame it on the Ukrainian Jewish Nazis.

I mean, if they get it to a road it doesn't seem all that different from TACA 110. That landed on a levee, was towed to a road after an on site engine replacement, and then flown somewhere to be repaired and remained in service for another 28 years. Not that they have the parts, equipment, or expertise to properly repair it though.

I also was thinking about the possibility of disassembling it. But they definitely do not have the tools and documentation to be able to take that plane apart and put it back together in a way that is flyable. I would assume that is something that you pay Airbus to send out technicians to do properly. The other options being just strip anything that fits onto a truck and just abandon it there, or to find some way to fly it out. Considering how low Russia values human life at the moment, convincing someone to try to fly that thing is probably what they see as the cheapest option.

Maybe they'll wait for the ground to become really hard with frost and cut down some trees before they take her out But that looks like a drat fine field landing, all in all

Mikojan posted:yea, nah quote:The airline’s crew has cleaned the aircraft, they have removed or stowed its emergency slides, and serviced its engines. The Ural crew also had to dig the landing gear of the A320 out of the trenches it opened in the field. Perhaps they mean that they’ve put the gear on a big pad of plywood or whatever to distribute the weight until the ground freezes enough? It feels like your average field could be prepped for an A320 to take off with a minimum load. But, I would think this operation would look like preparing a dirt/gravel field for the winter?

Wait for it to freeze, and hope that you can keep up with snow ploughing.
