In about 1990 Airbus did low pass at the Paris airshow and lost the plane.
I recall it had something to do with the throttle software thinking the
pilots were in landing mode and "refused" to go to high power for the
go-around.

Anyone remember the details???

Probably this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_296

It cast considerable doubt on the airworthiness of the Airbus and its
fly-by-wire systems, especially since the flight recorders were
spirited away and tampered with before they were officially examined.
