I just don't belieeeeeeeve it!

Post by Airspeed »

Just watched part of a video about the AN-225.
The commentator enthusiastically rattles off its record breaking achievements, including flying at an altitude of 7,456 miles.
This calculates to a tad over 39,000,000 feet.
Quite frankly, I think they got it wrong.

Not BBC, Paul.
Yes, Larry, I'm pretty sure that he's never heard of metres.

Also watched one about unusual aircraft, and couldn't believe the pronunciation of "nacelle" and other aircraft parts :dunno:
