T-BIRD ACCIDENT

[Bill Glaze]

Same with all airplanes, the bigger  the plane, the more pronounced.  It 
is much easier to change the attitude, than to change the flight path.  
It's called "mass" inertia and the laws of motion.  So, it's possible to 
hit the ground in a climbing attitude, full power on.  Most blatant 
example I can recollect, was an accident involving a 727 at SLC about 
1965 or '66
