Hey Gents ;]
Was just searching up some information on the 747 LCF Dreamlifter, and I just found this funny, but scary artifact.
During flight testing in November, 2006, a Cessna 172 being used for a training flight encountered the 747 LCF’s wake turbulence. The small aircraft was accidentally inverted and lost 1,000 feet (300 m) of altitude before the instructor pilot was able to regain control at just 150 feet (46 m).[3]
Not funny due to a near death experience, but funny the fact of the GA – Commercial ratio.
