Bad/stupid/improbable scenes of other wise good movies

ok.

The way I see it, is that the wing shape (aka aerofoil) to coax air OVER the wings when it is standing upright. A plane is also extremely aerodynamic head on. Thus, when it is flying straight down at terminal velocity, the effect at such a high speed is to push the plane so far away from the cliff face that Bond couldn't hope to get close to it.

Thus, your whole argument is moot.
