"Flying brick" lolz. Flight computer had 1mb of memory...well, that's approximately 17 times as much as my old Commodore 64, with which I'm told they used to manage nuclear power station systems back in the day.

It's not often that someone quotes from Airplane II.

Every time I see this thread title I can’t help but think, ‘should we have a, “how NOT to land a space shuttle” thread as well?’
