This aint funny I guess...but could not help but giggle. That little Embraer looks like a dinky toy being pushed out of the way by the master of the sky's.

As one commented on youtube.....dont say much about the French's driving capabilities though hehe.

Do you guys think the pilots exchanged insurance details afterwards? :D

Ag shame....look...the little CRJ got all embarrassed and lost its hard on in da tail! hehe

Can you believe how big that freakking A380 is compared to the CRJ Rossie? I knew it is a massive thing...but having the CRJ for scale really shows what a mother f'er it is!

I think that's actually the 380's wingtip! :p

It is massive, a true beast. Hopefully one day soon i'll get to fly on one. My largest Airbus is the A346.

CRJ is Canadian (Canadair Regional Jet). ERJs are Brazilian.
I think it may be the French showing a one up to USA for not using the A330 anymore.

Yeah, basically what I pointed out to Occie.
 
"I wonder if they had to get out of the planes to exchange insurance information?" LOL

Ohhhhh so it is a Bombardier....dang...always get confused between the two.

Eish so that is the wing of the A380? I hope for the pilots sakes Air France dont charge them to have that baby fixed! haha. And here I was almost crying when I smashed my little VW bumper! mwhahahahaha.
 
I'm ***** scared, flying Air France later this year :( So when ever i read Air France and incident in the same sentence i cringe... i'm seeing them in the same sentence quite often lately...

Then you should be +++ scared to fly any airline...even SAA (remember Helderberg?)

Just soup yourself up with lots of wine courtesy of Air France. Thats what I did on SAA...but not cause I was scared. I got so pissed I called the trolly dolly @ 1 in the morning and asked for another whiskey and cola. She said she is going to have to cut me off....but will glady bring me another cola. Bloody biatch! tsk. :-)

Hey, when something like that happens.... if there were passengers in that back row, you can be sure they would have needed to change after that unexpected shift.

For me it's scarier to know that you are not 100% with it in case of having to use the escape slide. Im even too nervous to take sleeping tabs on long hauls.

Urg no...I cant imagine doing the Jozie - London route sober. It was such a boring flight. I was actually kinda hoping for a bit of turbulance to spice things up a bit it was so boring. I love it when the plane goes through turbulance and you can see the wing and engine bouncing up and down! COOL!

Besides...I was so bored that if I was not half unconcious with drink I would propably have been arrested for pounding on the cockpit door wanting to ask the pilot if I can sit on his lap and change gears for him! hehe
