Title: 10 Take-offs And 13 Landings?
Description: At the beginning of the Loose Change vid

Close to the beginning of the Loose Change video the narrator claims a jet was tested where it was flown for 16 hours and 22 minutes, did 10 take offs, 69 approaches and THIRTEEN (13) landings.

How do you take off 10 times and land 13?

I tend to believe what the video shows, but the numbers in this case do not add up, unless of course, I'm missing something.

Pleaase explain if you have a reasonable explanation.

Thanks.

This has been asked several times before!!!


I think you find that is actually 10 remote controlled take offs, and THIRTEEN (13) remote controlled landings.
The aircraft was also capable of being flown manually by an on board flight crew, and that is why the numbers are different ;)

So did it fly for 16 hours 22 minutes constantly? Because if they had a pilot on board, then surely he would have gotten off before they crashed it.

No. The test plane flew numerous sorties before the final sortie.
