Flyover, flag-raising at Calgary city hall planned for Monday as Royal Canada Air Force celebrates centennial

It's no beauty but it'll still be cool to see.

Spoiler!

[Fuzz]

That's a plane with a porpoise.

[Titan2]

What just flew over the city? 12:15 Saturday and sounded like the space shuttle or something?

[RoadGame]

I'm in the NE doing some shopping and just saw a pair of CF-18s come in for a landing. They may be overdue for museums but damn they're gorgeous.

[Nyah]

That was LOUD! Very cool.

Nope.

[DownInFlames]

They were pretty low if that's considered "in flight".

[Fuzz]

I assume it happened earlier, the start of the video is just before landing.

[speede5]

Wow, a video where the camera on the target and they weren't shrieking OMG for the whole video. that's rarer than the incident itself.

Portrait though...

[Wormius]

Can they deploy the thrust reverser brakes in that condition or do they have to have to use the landing gear brakes?

[Bigtime]

I'm going to totally guess they wouldn't risk the reversers, and just went with brakes and spoilers.

[timun]

They absolutely used reverse thrust. You can see the 'sleeve' move back at about 10 seconds in the video:



The port side cowling rips off less than a second later.

[Bigtime]

Guess I should have watched the whole clip...

Oh yeah, when it kicks in that rips up the inboard panel.

[DoubleK]

I don't think that's on Boeing, it's probably poor maintenance by Southwest.

There are a bajillion 737s around. Don't hear of this kind of failure often.

[Fuzz]

Wonder if they had a bird strike or something that compromised it first.

Definitely not a Boeing thing, there's been dozens of engine cowling incidents over the last few decades both Boeing and Airbus, pretty much always a latch being left opened and missed during preflight

[MRCboicgy]

Didn't the cowling pop off a 777 taking off from Denver a couple of years ago too?

Maybe DEN's maintenance aren't locking things down.
