The article mentions another Typhoon crash, have there been any more? I hadn't heard of any.
My friend and I applied for airline jobs in Australia, but they didn't Qantas.

Considering the way those things are flown, and the number of Typhoons that are now in service, they have a decent record. Unfortunately it always seems to be during routine flying that incidents have happened, not when the pilots are doing trans-sonic runs 2 metres off the ground, or doing a 5km loop finishing at head height.
A million great ideas...
