A Cargolux
winkie-winkie with consequences?
The City of Zhengzhou,
the second aircraft that Cargolux named after the partner city in China, has
not only become a one of a kind twin in the CV stable because of the name. It
also had already a vast social media presence, where images from its takeoff were
circulated, showing a vacillation to the left and then to the right in a
supposed goodbye winkie-winkie.
This maneuver close to
the ground is reminiscent of a failed demo of an A 320, Air France flight 296
on June 26h, 1988, where at a show, a risky demo close to the ground failed and
the aircraft crashed, and three people died. Fortunately in this case, the
story eventually had a happy landing.
Not for everyone it
seems. Rumor has it that the US FAA is investigating, and that Cargolux
grounded three pilots.
