(Reuters) - The pilot who safely landed a stricken Southwest Airlines flight on Tuesday got her first flying experience in the U.S. Navy, touching down F-18 fighter jets at 150 miles per hour on aircraft carriers.

Tammie Jo Shults, 56, may have drawn on her Navy skills when one of the two engines on her Boeing 737-700 blew and broke apart at 32,000 feet on Tuesday, forcing her to implement a rapid descent toward Philadelphia International Airport.

(двигатель как я понял какие-то французишки наваяли... с Роллс Ройсом такой ерунды не бывает.)

touching down F-18 fighter jets at 150 miles per hour on aircraft carriers.

а теперь включите любую компьютерную игру-авиасимулятор. И попробуйте посадить самолет на авианосец. Поздравляю, вы мертвец. Даже если это не реалистичный симулятор.
