Flew the GB Airways A321 into and out of Faro today from Gatwick. You cannot pitch up more than 10 degrees whilst on the ground, and a tail strike is very easy to do as shown by the picture where I am 1mm from the ground and nearly that distance from the end of the runway!
Also note there is a picture of a rather crude A320 next to me on one of the pics. This is the current basic display model for other traffic, in this case a Spanair aircraft that someone had flown from Bremen. In the next few months a new interface is being released, and it is believed that Project AI models will be used for that one!
Sadly some have had to be resized :(
