wikiHow's Aviation Pictures

Real World Aviation
1

So, I was being me and looking through wikiHow. Then, I stumbled upon this. This is disturbing, to say the least.

Let’s just point out the several things wrong with this…

  • It is missing the front gear The Dang FRONT GEAR!
  • It has a pointed nose when it clearly says Airbus. Airbus has a rounded nose.
  • It has four engines. (Yes, I understand it may be defined as an A340)
  • It does not have a middle gear, despite being an A340.
  • Finally, it is facing the wrong runway heading.

I have lost faith in wikiHow. Well, thats all for the day.

Hello! I’m a little confused on why you made this topic. I mean yes, it is a picture that needs some avgeek help, but is it necessary. Just my opinion though (:

I just did it to make a random topic. I don’t know why, but I just wanted something random for a change.

I think this needs to go under ‘Funniest Stories of Non Avgeeks’.

Hello Mattheus!

We appreciate your post today, however I believe its better suited for the thread above posted by @anon67310022. #real-world-aviation is to discuss real world aviation, and to have a separate topic just for WikiHow blunders wouldn’t really contribute to meaningful discussion for the category.

If you have any questions, please give me a shout and I’ll help you out!

Cheers,

Damian
