I guess that would make women pilots the worst parkers of all.I had to laugh when I was in Vietnam.The Vietnam airlines safety run through they give everyone before takeoff gets to the bit about the life jackets and the english version comes on and says, "In Case Plane Acccidently Parks on Water, There is life jacket under seat!"Hopefully the reversing camera is waterproof.

Not to mention ever seen a jet reverse .What does a plane do after it lands?? It makes its way to the gate and parks in order to let its passengers off. The trucks are used when there is no flight crew and no power to the aircraft.Planes do in fact have the ability to reverse by using there reverse thrust. The thrust out the back of the engines is simply shot out the sides of the engine and forward. If you ever watch them land the sides of the engines open up to re-direct the thrust forward.With no sexual references wahtsoever.I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could actually use them to reverse if needed to.Hence the reversing camera I guess...Would also be handy if the treadmill was spinning faster than the plane!

They do this on airfields that arnt supported like a major airport.I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
