Err yeah, but that would spoil the screenshot

There was a program on TV here a few weeks ago presented by the ex Iron Maiden singer, Bruce Dickinson, who is now a qualified airline pilot. He took a ride in NASA's shuttle simulator and said that the decent rate was 10,000 ft per minute....truely brick like status!!
