Thread:Comments:Air France, pilots union, victims group criticise transatlantic disaster probe/AF269

Kind of reminds me of back in 1988. It was a test flight for the new A320. The aircraft was to fly low in a very slow nose-up position along a runway at an airshow before climbing again; but at the end of the runway was a forest. The pilot tried to speed up but wasn't quick enough, and it crashed. The investigators blamed the pilot, who survived, but he said there was a flaw with the aircraft's engines which meant they didn't respond quickly enough. I've never been sure myself.
