BREAKING: Aaron Donald coming out of retirement to play for Rams on a 1-year, $20M deal with playoff incentives up to $30M. (via @adamschefter, @rapsheet)
Watching these two Airlink Embraers skim over DHL Stadium in Cape Town is one of those moments that looks completely insane from the ground.
This was a planned flyby for the Springboks–All Blacks match, but the aircrafts were extremely low.
From my own aviation perspective, the aircraft can handle this kind of manoeuvre. The real concern with flying this low is the reduced recovery margin. If something unexpected happens an engine, wind, speed or control issue there’s very little altitude and time to correct it. ✈️
Dearest mother —
The men achieved a hard fought victory. The Ha-waii unit was formidable, but our resolve was strong. As they clap their coconuts together on the long journey back, I have given my men permission to engage in well-earned frivolities. Victory suits us. How I cherish the sensation.
