Hahaha landing fees are harsh these days lol

Ryanair is like 🔁

Just don’t hit the $&?’ Fence 😂😂😂

I've heard about the stringent rules regarding takeoff and landing out of John Wayne and Santa Monica airports. I'd be interested as to how often those rules are broken at THOSE two particular airports.

-Borat

An airbus tire on its own already weighs a few hundred kilos, but also it's got the weight of the plane behind it - that's equivalent to smacking your head into an immovable object at about 160mph. That does seem rather Darwinian, I must say.

I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an airbus tire to the head.

It would be a glorious and unique way to go, tho.

They won't have to find your head. It will be smeared down a mile of runway.

@@zwerkoThe poor guy, who has to scrape your brains off the pavement will probably disagree.

He meant in worst case scenario ie a runway with a fence and road and people and rocks right by the start of the runway. Clearly if the end of the runway is on a cliff than going over by 20mph is also bad lol.

@@Pepesilvia267 unless you are at Saba ☠☠💀

I just used google maps to see how the other end of the runway looks. It's hard to tell because the images google has for this area are pixelated but it seems to be the same situation: directly behind the airport fence there is a public road and behind that road a beach.

Search for flight TAM 3054

If you go off the runway at maho beach, I hope you brought swimwear :D

Yep, Boeing tires leave a vastly superior tire print on your face …

@@advorak8529 It's like a gentle caress.

@@advorak8529runway rash to the face!

Oh c'mon you wouldn't even feel it, after being knocked out cold lol

@@truckercowboyed2638 yeah, it tickles!!

I thought that looked a bit like Skiathos. Even more dangerous to stand there when they are taking off.

Yes it is wonderful island to visit insane airport to land on

Thanks. At first i thought it is Kerkyra but then i thought: nah, cant be, i havent seen that beach when we were there. Then i thought, Zakynthos, must be. But then i check google and how it looks, and it didnt look anything like it. Then i tried looking for it but too many little islands. So thanks, this saves a lot of searching

@@bertjesklotepinoCorfu on the bridge between Kanoni and Perama was my first thought too. 😊

@@maddie107 O yeah, there is a bridge there as well. Has been like 15 years since i went on vacation to Corfu. We first landed on Zakynthos and then went on to Corfu (coming from the Netherlands). But i totally forgot about that bridge indeed. Man, i wish i could live on that island, Corfu. To me it was like heaven.

And every plane eventually lands.

Takeoffs are optional. Landings are mandatory.

@@Drivr555 Virgin Galactic would disagree! (or rather it would the other way around ;) )

Some landings are soft. Some landings are firm. Some landings are long. Some landings are short(ish). Some landings are very short and very firm and sometimes very hot.

@@Drivr555 That's overly simplistic. Takeoffs become mandatory once you het past the V1 speed mark. When landing, you can do a go around and retry the landing if you haven't lost too much speed already.

Ta.

Well, they didn't warn me when I went there 😐

depends on the airline @@mhmmhm5995

Oh, that makes me sense - I thought he bent over to barf 😅

@@GoodPersonTestWebsite 😂😂 I mean could have, that's just the way that I saw it haha, cuz it looked like he looked at the camera and then ducked

My husband ised to say in situations like that "Tighten up the rubber bands and off you go" !

757 very powerful especially with RR engines. best sound ever

we used to into Bagdad and the pilot does a corkscrew heaps of fun

That. Sounds. Terrifying.

@@bigredinfinity3126 corkscrew in what?

@Rick O'Sidhe Whooosh! That's the sound of the joke going over your head just like the plane went over the cameramans head.

Obviously he's never seen Cloverfield.

Unfortunately there are exceptions to that rule. Rust? Black Earth Rising? DeepSea Challenge? The Dark Knight? Taxi 2? Dukes of Hazard? The number of dead camera operators outnumber the deceases stunt operators.

@@CLipka2373 Nope, he probably hasn’t…….but he’s about to see Geeezus…….!

there is an exception to every rule, which is what makes it a rule, and he was almost that exception lol.

what are you talking about? startled by landing? what about radio altimeter? what about some time for reversers to open and start operating? what about backtracking because there`s no taxiway at the end of the runway? 😁

Also heard a rumor about Pan Am flight 914 landing after 37 years. That one made more sense.

In Rio, Airbus A320s and 737-800s operate daily in and out of Santos Dumont airport's 4,340-ft runway. To be fair, it's at sea level.

And I love how Kelsey casually says about the guy who came up with a term "natural selection" xD

Our local airport hosts at least a dozen ops a year with a 767 full of college football players. Runway is 6498 feet. They never use all of it landing or departing.

all for KZfaq hits 😡 i think the last two vids were just showing off to get views. What they did is no different in my eyes to what that idiot who jumped out of his plane allowing it to crash while filming every angle did The aviation authorities need to stamp hard on these fools before something awful happens

These are the people I would end up, having to proofread the accident reports when I worked as a administrative assistant for air safety at Cessna… Investigators always had something to say about people who tried to do things the way, and eventually it caught up to them …. Seriously peoples do not want to end up in an accident report for an aircraft company whether they are Boeing or airbus , or a small aircraft company like Cessna or Piper….

Which airport? There's like 5 of them on the island

5 airfields on Crete.....WHY.... Crete is a dusty s it hole of a place ... the only installation there should be an unmanned lighthouse ....

​@@CaptainRon1913 Most probably CHQ.

I've lived in Phoenix for 41 years and they've closed the airport at least twice due to the heat. They weren't sure if it was safe for takeoff because the operating manuals didn't go above 120 degrees!

There is a meme in there somewhere. Something about the number of intelligent humans left these days. Or maybe "Pick the human WITHOUT the Forest Gump IQ".

@9:06 I too have eaten birds before! Oh, you meant with an airplane.

Oh, yeah some of them do. I work in ground handling at my local airport and sometimes during the night shifts when I’m absolutely sure it’s safe I’ll flick my flashlight on and off around the planes. It’s surprising how many pilots will respond. 😂 I found that out quite by accident as one night my battery was on the fritz so I thumped the flashlight a few times and it flickered. Next thing I knew, I was darn near blinded when the entire area around me lit up for a moment and then a couple more times. I was confused for a moment until I saw a nearby 737 that had just been released from the tug. After that, I couldn’t help but say “hi” a few times. Perhaps it’s why marshalling is one of my favourite tasks.

​@@mikoto7693 thanks for that fun anecdote

LOL

When I was a kid lived in the mobile home park on Keesler AFB watched old Beechcraft C45's and F86s in the early 1950's. Fell in love with flying I soloed in 1964. Lost my medical license in 2008.

Fascinating.... seeing that McDill is an Air Force Base, and F18 Hornets are flown by the Navy. Before Bill Clinton screwed over McDill because Florida voted for H.W. Bush in 1992 instead of him, McDill had squadrons of F-16 Falcons, F-15 Eagles, and a squadron of KC-135s - I've got videos of them. I even remember a wing of A-10 Warthogs at McDill for awhile... but they all went away except for the KC-135s as a result of vindictive political payback.

Yea! That's right. I've learned a ton of info from you. You are fun too. I hope you stay Kelsey.

They don't chose the ads or ad breaks. They can try to edit the video to give a natural ad breaks for the KZfaq software to recognize, but it doesn't always work.

Try Mentor Pilot as well.

@@kijana2030 thank you 👏👏

I want my first daughter to be a girl do u think daughters are girls????:)))

If I had $1 for every time I saw someone in the comments section of an aviation channel mention the old pilot/bold pilot phrase, I would be rich.

Except Robin Olds, who was a bold pilot. 😃

*Darwin award winner* of 20XY is ....

We were there years ago, but the tiki bar at Maho Beach (St Maarten) had a blackboard with the landing times for the big jets (KLM, Air France etc) and then the waitress went around and closed the table umbrellas about 5 minutes before.

Captain Schettino liked to "show boat" in the Costa Concordia, look how well that worked for him (he is still in prison). Sadly a bunch of people under his care drowned because of his show boating. Show boating is probably fun for both the pilot (or captain) and the people watching, but it certainly increases the danger for everyone.

@@steveswoodworking2504 The people that insisted on standing behind the jets taking off only to be blasted into the sand were nuts. I stepped off to the side. Some of the planes sat there a little bit longer than others.

@@steveswoodworking2504 Costa Concordia was a planned LUCIFERIAN event..... To celebrate the anaversary of another planned LUCIFERIAN event..... Titanic....

I've lived in El Paso on and off for 11 years and can confirm that the wind there can be brutal. Typically spring is the windiest season.

Sounds like a normal day on the Oregon coast. I lived in Newport for a few years as a teen and learned to automatically catch car doors when opening them, lest they slam into the vehicle parked in the next spot, or whatever else might be beside the car I was getting into or out of. During one of the worst windstorms that happened while I lived there, the whole roof blew off a local pizza place, and it was a pretty sizeable restaurant too.

It is not common or typical for a person to start flying an aircraft at the age of eight. It is important to consider the physical, cognitive, and emotional development of individuals when determining whether or not they are ready to start learning to fly. The skills and abilities necessary for flying an aircraft safely require a level of maturity and responsibility that may not be present in someone as young as eight years old. At eight years old, children are typically in the third grade and are continuing to develop and grow physically, emotionally, and cognitively. Some of the developmental milestones that children may be working towards at this age include: Physical development: Children at this age may show increased coordination and control of their bodies, and may be able to participate in more physically demanding activities such as sports. They may also be able to perform tasks that require fine motor skills, such as using scissors or tying their own shoes. Emotional development: Children at this age may start to understand and express more complex emotions, and may be able to recognize and manage their own emotions more effectively. They may also begin to develop a sense of independence and may want to make more decisions for themselves. Cognitive development: Children at this age are typically able to think more abstractly and may be able to understand and solve more complex problems. They may also be able to understand and use information in a more logical and organized way. Overall, eight year olds are continuing to develop and grow in many areas, and are learning new skills and abilities that will help them navigate the world around them. However, flying is not one of those skills.

@@johnmidwest5650 Dear John - Wow, you must be the life of a party. In all seriousness though, please lighten the efF up. Next you're going to write a paper here on how my GF of the time, who's house my clever grandfather caught me sleeping over at by air, and I both managed to unknowingly suffer lifelong emotional trauma as the result of our late teenage premarital sexcapades... but I digress. I didn't say my grandfather earned a private pilot certificate, or whatever the equivalent was in those days, at the age of eight, or claimed he could solo navigate cross country at night with a sextant at ten. Regardless of all your blather I can say this in confidence - My grandfather was more than capable at eight years of age, once airborne, of learning and performing basic maneuvers unassisted like flying a heading while maintaining an altitude, climbing, descending, banking, making turns around a point, etc. I'm confident of this because at around eight years old myself my grandfather taught me how to perform most of these basics in his 182. As a matter of fact when I was six months old during my very first flight, he put me in his lap and placed my hands on the controls of his Cessna 175, causing my grandmother to have a fit. I've long lightheartedly considered that my first unofficial flight lesson. My grandfather's much older stepbrother was, for all intents and purposes, a barnstormer. When I met my Uncle Vic in the 70s he could barely walk from the multiple broken legs he suffered from the seven crashes he survived. He even showed me the remaining section of frame he saved of the Curtiss Pusher he crashed into a tree 60 years or so prior and shared the story of how he met Lindbergh when he flew through Cleveland in '27 and how he helped push the Spirit of St. Louis out of a mud patch at the airport. John, it was the primitive 1920s and regardless of what you think, my Uncle Victor introduced his then eight year old little stepbrother to aviation in a Waco, immediately igniting a lifelong passion in my future granddad so strong that it even kept him seeking every opportunity he could find to go up for a flight with anyone who was willing to take him at our local airport well after his skills to fly himself diminished from age and he had to sell his plane. He told me, right up until the end, that he took advantage of every opportunity he still could find to go flying with anyone because each flight was just as thrilling to him as his very first. Keeping a Waco level on a heading or making a coordinated turn over the Ohio countryside with almost no air traffic in the entire state is not like performing a precision instrument approach in a 787 at JFK. So, even though you made a valiant attempt to piss on my parade, you failed, you miserable troll.

@@johnmidwest5650 why did you write a school essay on eight year olds.

@@johnmidwest5650 i actually am studying for the Praxis so I appreciate it this in a different sort of way than intended LOL

@@mpk6664 fair question…although the information was interesting albeit loosely connected to the original comment lol

I did the Leadville trail 100 bike race for several years in the late 1990s. Beautiful place!

On a hot summer day, there is not enough runway to keep your small Cessna out of the trees. Density altitude.

@@CTSFanSam On a hot summer day in Leadville, the high temp is 74F.

worked with a guy who got assigned to aircraft repair in Texas during Vietnam. had a Lt. show up to pick up a repaired fighter, and asked, "is the plane fixed?" the repair crew (average age: 17) said, 'we think so." the Lt. said, "only one way to find out." and took it down the runway and stood it on his tail. guy I worked with said it was probably both the stupidest and most trusting thing he'd ever seen somebody do.

So it's fine right?

Yep, it would happen too fast. The last thing they might notice is the approaching engine noise, and BANG!

Yeah when he said that, I was like... hmm, no, I don't think you'd feel it. You wouldn't feel anything ever again.

At the very least a bad hair day ;)

Ugh there are safer ways to get up close and personal with aircraft. Just get a job in aircraft services or ramp. I do both, and because I’m an AvGeek I usually end up having way too much fun at work. From gently patting the nose of a 737 as I go to plug in the GPU, to standing directly below a vent that blows out warm air along the belly of a 787 to warm myself up a bit in the chill of dawn while I wait for my water truck to finish filling the Dreamliner tank to the desired level, there’s always something fun to do. I’m not quite sure why that vent is there, and while it will mess up my hair it’s still pleasant. And the inside can be just as interesting if you’re patient. I’ll never forget some of the things I’ve seen and done. Such as being asked to clean up a coffee spill in the cockpit during turnaround barely two weeks into the job and agreeing to it on the condition that one of the pilots supervises to make sure I don’t accidentally press anything and damage their multi million pound/dollar plane. And thus the first officer is given that assignment while the captain went for his walk around. And I’m happy for most of it, even pulling a couple of the transparent bin bags over the captain’s seat since I lacked a way to dry it, right up until the few small splashes of coffee on some of the controls. Fortunately the first officer noticed my looking at the controls rather dubiously and assured me that I couldn’t do any damage and thus I carefully finished the task.

I can’t speak for the accuracy of auto pilot for passenger planes, and honestly I’m not sure if there is notable difference between “auto pilot” and “auto land” But, I do know the person who wrote the auto landing software that navy pilots have available allowing fighter Jets to land themselves on the carrier. The auto land was so precise, that some variability had to be programmed in because the repeated landings in exactly the same place was causing uneven wear on the flight deck. I will agree that even the best of software should be required to snitch on itself though.

There's a reason why many professional photographers have an assistant who's job is to pull them out of danger when they lose situational awareness.

Please don't stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon, though!

When I think of the crazy stuff the Kohl brothers did in the Grand Canyon to get those special photo this seem pretty tame - but still dumb. 🤪

Exactly. Just went to Maho beach, did it for the gram lol. It actually isn’t so bad when you’re more towards the water

I can relate. There are a million ways of being stupid as a photographer. There are millions of spectacular pictures that may be taken without risk. Hope we’ll always be smart enough! 🤓

Hahaha nice Skyrim reference.

Ha ha ha

Trigonometry's finest hour!

Smacking your head against an immovable object at 160mph, yeah I reckon you might be right about that.

Looks like you've seen this more than me, but the hydraulics connected to those catch and launch cables are awesome.

Yeah, that was a miss from Kelsey on that one. The hard landing on carrier decks isn't to dissipate energy, it's to make sure they catch the wire and don't sail over it.

Yeah I was thinking about that too. Chances are, one day someone will throw FOD up in front of an aircraft. There’s a reason airside is so strictly controlled. I once got my entire airport shut down for half an hour once because I spotted a water bottle some dumb f**ker had either left insecure in their EBT, bowser or van and turned too sharply when leaving the part where the taxiway and road are literally side by side, or actually tossed it onto the taxiway. Finally, I just wanted to say “Hi fellow rampie!”

@@mikoto7693 because of the craziness in the world we have to take off our shoes to board an airplane but they still have airports like this. Really confusing to me. I loved being a ramp agent but it was even better after I became a firefighter and got into ARFF training. I’m one of the few people in my neighborhood who doesn’t mind being in the flight path for DIA.

@@dethray1000 You don't see a problem with that?

Risk taking and thrill seeking is human nature. It's why we've made it this far.

@@doggy7210 what did he do to your family?

You can get sea-breezes as the warmer air over the land rises and the cooler sea airmass moves in to replace it. I guess that would make the headwind component diminish as you moved further from the land. I wouldn't expect it to be a dramatic change and any pilot knows that you don't fly low and slow. :)
