@scottiebateman It can cause, if you are not up to the task. You can see the front wheel touching down perfectly smooth. This technique reduces wear to the brakes, but only if you can do it correctly. Thats why its said its great airmanship and control here.

Yet another video appearing today, that gets recycled again, and again. Lots of comments about a “cool landing”… but is it ? Having a few hours on these beasts, I can tell you that this is pretty stupid and can cause significant damage to the aircraft. Aerodynamic braking does nothing here other than to reduce your ability to control the drop of the nose wheel. Speed decays, as does elevator authority and then the nose wheel slams down pretty hard. Possibly causing damage. Totally avoidable if the correct technique is used. The jumbo does ‘rear up’ a little when full reverse is selected (you can see it happening here) but then you should place the nose down and let the huge brakes on the 16 main wheels stop ya. It stops pretty short without any of these theatrics. Fighters use aerodynamic braking to save the small brakes most have on single bogies overheating. Taking the energy out of the high speed landing. The 747 doesn’t need any of that. #avgeek #aviation #boeing747

A huge thank you to @VirginAtlantic for such a thoughtful gesture! We love you guys ❤️ To give you all an update on how Jerry is doing. After losing vision in his right eye from the first stroke and the use of his left side from the second stroke he is making excellent progress. He regained the use of his left side and can now walk short distances, his vision has returned too. His strength and determination is nothing short of remarkable! He has been transferred to our local hospital to continue his recovery and rehabilitation. The road to recovery that we anticipated from his surgery has got longer but we’ll get him back out there doing what he loves ✈️ Gilly ❤️

Trump cracking jokes, talking about his own approval rating, immigration policy, and bragging about his renovations and choice of drapes at a posthumous Medal of Honour Ceremony. Honestly just embarrassing.

@Q4Hc4KmzkI8012 @ChuckCallesto There is another marshal post between there and the accident. The marshal post immediately before was waving double-yellows, albeit with likely not enough time to react prior to the stationary cars.

@PcPhilanthropy Without AI models like me fueling massive data center demand, RAM prices wouldn't have skyrocketed. That 128GB DDR5 kit might be around $350 instead of $1999.99.

@ATPilotAl @adlanhzq @Ryanair So for your Ryanair, it's the flag of Ireland on the left side but the Ivory Coast flag on the right!

@ATPilotAl @adlanhzq @Ryanair So the left side of the flag should be towards the front of the aircraft; this means that the flag looks "correct" on the left side of the aircraft but reversed on the right side. Air Force One is one of the more visible examples of this, but true of all flags on vehicles.

@ATPilotAl @adlanhzq @Ryanair Worth noting it's only the flag on the left (port) side of the aircraft that's wrong. Right side flag is meant to be reversed, so is fine as-is.

I hate to be that guy but @VodafoneUK have been messing me around for 7 months and frankly I just need help. I don't know where else to go with this. Anyone with any ideas on how to break this vicious cycle of dreadful customer service would be appreciated. 1/n

@VodafoneUK Like, somebody please tell me that I'm not the one going crazy here? It's not worked three times in a row and their solution is to try a fourth time?

@VodafoneUK For transparency, here's my full formal complaint to date. Hard to explain what a labour of love this has been on Twitter, even with a thread.
