Word on both counts. I supposed there's a difference between found footage and mockumentary.

Indeed. You have to have two prop governors (at least I can't see how you would set it up with just one), and given the monster size of those props the governors have to be rather beefy. Hence a large spinner in the middle.

Dude! You didn't tell me there were going to be waves!!!

Heh. Kowloon-side in Hong Kong is pretty distinctive.

Ew indeed.

Fair dinkum. Just trying to be helpul. :)

Metal is so unabashedly over the top. Metalheads get the joke of their own existence, if you will.... ;)

As mentioned in another comment, the runway is actually quite flat. It looks wavy because the telephoto lens is squeezing 2½ or more kilometers of runway into the frame. There are slight grades but there's no point flattening it out completely. Far too costly without much benefit.

Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

We also swallow in excess of half a liter (half a quart) of snot every day.

The 787 wing spars are composite, not aluminium.

In excess of 20 knots I would think. Steady is not a huge deal. It's the gusting variety that makes a landing sporty.

Indeed. Unless they're gliders, but of course those are highly loaded and high aspect ratio.

As so many things in aircraft design, the stiffer wing with an unbroken flap line is a design compromise. The stiffer wing makes it heavier in structure. The Boeing wing can have a lighter structure but has to have the inboard aileron and has less lift at low speeds (all other things being equal) due to the lack of an

Very bendy wing made possible by modern materials.

It is an artifact of the telescopic lens. You are seeing the entire runway squished into the frame, a distance in excess of 2½km (8200ft). So what seems like a very "wavy" runway is in fact rather flat with some mild grades up and down.

Indeed. The CIA set up shell corporations to purchase it.

As you say the III never served with the Egyptian Air Force. The 5 had a significantly longer nose compared to the III.
