A South African pilot appears to have taken the name of his MacBook Air a little too literally, managing to drop it from the light aircraft he was flying when the canopy flew open. The MacBook, along with his flying license and logbook, fell 1000 feet into the fields below–but amazingly survived the experience.

Admittedly it didn’t emerge entirely unscathed. Pilot and Reddit user Av80r reports that the unibody casing was bent, the glass trackpad shattered and the cooling fans were damaged, but the screen remained intact and the MacBook continues to work …

The MacBook was found by a farmer, along with with the pilot’s paperwork, which enabled the farmer to make contact via Facebook in order to arrange to return the items. Check out the other photos below.

That's insane. Big plus to Apple on the reliability factor on those things. Got a mac book pro myself but to see the Air do that. It really does love up to its name haha.

Now... to fix that laptop... costs $_$ lol.

Im sure Apple would replace it which isn't that much. :p

thats crazy, id take it if it was offered to me in that condition lol
