Wow congsss🙏👍

Wow.

QUE ORGULLO FELICIDADES !!!

Your husband is veterans..

Hello

Thank fck I'm not a pilot, I didn't even realise the gear was down Edit: I meant "wasn't down".

@@boringperson-zb8vy you mean wasn't down

SAME

That was only low lowpass

he did it to sense wind force, cause they had problems with wind with little planes.

He is Napoleon so he probably just had a nap to pass the time.

LOL!!!

He’s not there. His body was moved to Paris.

It was a joke...

@@scottmclennan6114 r/woosh

Great sir, nice explained. You have my aplauses.

You can always go around If it don’t look right coming down Don’t wait until you’re sideways, maybe sliding on the ground You can always go around

Every landing is a new experience

Pretty sure the second one was a landing attempt but they did a go-around.

@@MrSupercar55 Sounds like a song.

yes, the wind is pretty terrible there.

Alan OBrien The airport still hasn't opened for commercial flights because of unexpected, significant wind shear.

afh7689 How is wind shear unexpected exactly? Would it not generally be a good idea to measure wind shear prior to building a runway... 🙈

cjeam I'm a bit curious about that as well!

cjeam - because like all weather, it varies. there is no way you can measure or forecast windshear accurately.

Is abnormal when the wing actually scrapes the ground?

Darren Burke the first was a fly by to show off the plane

Yes, wings shouldn't be touching the ground. But why bring that up?

Unless your Ryanair, then you do whatever you want

Ethan Carberry-Holt Ryan air planes even go in reverse in the air

Wing flex

Wing flex, your still stupid, they are powered by turbo fans

Harry Winter _sarcasm_

i wonder who is stupid, he's obviously joking :)

you're*

ascotia i was wondering why my flight from Geneva to London smelt so bad

Don't be so mean. The crew will need new underwear too...

that was one of the worst flying ive ever seen, either that , it was the 737.

ascotia ; ))

Happens all the time. Obviously you guys know nothing about aviation.

Napoleon: i lived bitch

Britain dummy

Jetliner @0:20 : Lol, nope.

It is actually comair operating under the British airways livery

That airIine is comair (south african airways) from África they use 10 british airways planes AND thats one you idiot

s9rry i dont use grammar

third time lucky

One, "Looksee", two, See how we go, three, treat her firm and put her down, full reverse thrust, easy peasy. (Breathes VERY heavily and sighs). Superb skills.

It will now allow the rich and powerful to move in on the island and take over, some thing the rich as wanted for decades to do was to take over the island, the islanders have been able to stop this from happening. they will not be able to now.

Ray Jones well said

I suspect that the beautiful isolation of the place will be spoiled very shortly.....and locals will be priced out of the market....it has ever been thus.....

Will not be long now before the first hotel skyscapers will be built in the prime spots.

"congratulations to all in the Project Team, BR and all..." It supposed to be BA, British Airways, not BR, right? BR is Taiwan-based EVA Air

10 thousand subs with no video Actually it’s their own planes but BA own most of Comair so it’s painted in their livery. BA have not owned 737s for a while

@@remf4519 , Napoleon was really first exiled in Elba, which they thought would be remote enough for the early 19th century, but they were wrong. Napoleon managed to escape, gather an army and fight the British until finally defeated again at Waterloo (in today's Belgium, not far from Brussels).This time the British would take no chances and decided to send him to a place so far and remote it would be impossible for him to escape to Europe again. That's why they sent him to Saint Helena. This time it worked --- Napoleon lived 6 years on the island and died there. You can visit his grave there, though it's empty now, as his body was exhumed and sent to France some years later.

Great Goytá! Congratulations for explain this to the english language peoples. Lito, You and all team are doing a nice work at Aviões e Música.

Its not actually British airways. Its Comair, South African owned and dressed in BA livery

@@sachinamarath6552 It is British Airways ,Its just Operated by Comair , Comair has the British Airways franchise in South Africa , So basically a franchise partner for BA they also have another airline called Kulula here is a small snippet of the airline in SA , British Airways South Africa is operated by Comair, offering scheduled flights in South and Southern Africa. As the flag carrier airline in the United Kingdom, BA is renowned for their superior reliability and comfortable in-flight experience. British Airways is also one of the founding members of the Oneworld airline alliance, the third largest such alliance after Star Alliance and SkyTeam. British Airways is headquartered at Heathrow airport in London, whereas the Comair operated South African branch operators out of Johannesburg International Airport.

N G I don't know much about flying but while watching I was thinking the same it's probably ridiculously windy there though Its almost like they're in the middle of the ocean

Was thinking the exact same thing, holy shit!

Lordoa 90 degrees? You do realise that would be vertical... I know that the 787 has a better wing flex than other planes surely it can’t flex 90°

Lordoa - oh I see. I think in actual flight that it would rarely or never happen.

In actual flight bending the wings that far would cause a dramatic loss in lift. To be honest it just would not happen, it's just assuring to fly knowing that your wings won't snap.

Correct yupp

thanks i was really confused for a second lol

@col loc of course BA stopped 737 Operations 10 years ago but it's for 737-300 & 737-500. Their 737-400 keep operating until retired in 2015. The 737-800 shown in this video are Comair's Fleet but using BA brand as Comair's franchise with BA. The Flight also operating as BA Flights.

Yeah you figured it out

Surrounding communities?

@@opperkoningsuperbernard799 Ha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Actually the first one was a low pass which is commonly seen during airshows or celebratory events such as this one. And the second was an actual aborted landing due to the wind strength.

Yep, the clue is in the landing gear. Up = low pass, Down = trying to land

This is how you go inside your lady too. First hover around the target, glide once or twice making sensual contacts and the third time shove in it hard. Make sure the runway is not completely dry. Once landed, flag out the protection like this pilot did and exit the place.

Landing a 737 is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman....

@@Brian-ku9xs actually, pilots do have landing gear down for intended aborts. You want to see how the plane handles in that wind with the added drag of the gear being down. Just because the gear was down, doesnt mean it wasnt intentional to abort.

Hello

If you don't look right coming down!

Don't wait until yo- BANK ANGLE

@100 Star Gaming I know, thanks.

🤣🤣

@100 Star Gaming chill, it's a joke. :)

Lol

It is actually a South African Comair flight......they dress up in British airways livery.

Rather scary, another 1/2 mile of runway needed.

It's you. It's a perfectly fine length.

Looks very short to me.

If you look at the runway on Google earth it's not even straight. It very wonky I am sure they are going to get some complaints from pilots.

@@treynolds94 most rwys arent straight nor flat. However as you saw you got a big rock next to rwy that gives turb wind plus not much to absorb the wind all around, so gonna be many bumpy landings

Um that’s not really how it happened. Com Air did a trial flight but opted out of flying there. The E190 is still the only weekly flight

y don't you shut up

I hope you can one day I know st Helena will welcome you goodluck

Hardeep Singh "it's a shithole", "smells of piss". Are you sure you're not describing India? lol

Have you been there? What are you talking about Alex?

Hardeep Singh why don't you piss off

No

3 attempts to and??

It's a South African company and pilots flying the St. Helena route

+eybsie Actually it's a British airways subsidiary, so basically the south African branch of BA.

MrStig691 go do your research please. They are SA pilots and it's a BA subsidiary which belongs to Comair which is an SA company.

Roberto Boldrini but i am and im proud

Which STOL aircraft were you thinking of that can make it out there with the fuel reserves to also make it back if landing is not possible? The nearest other runway is Wideawake at Ascension Island, which is around 800 miles and not open to non-military flights. Other than that you need to make it to Namibia, 1150 miles, with reserves for stooging around while you make your mind up. So you need something like 3000 miles range, with payload.

😂 I suggest you take a look at a map for where this place is located.

A STOL aircraft is designed for short runways. That isn’t the case here. It’s a very long runway capable of handling the largest military aircraft. As others have said, have a look on a map as to where this airport is and you’ll understand why a 737 is used.

cageordie non military flight going there now btw.

Not exactly true. While it's not a particularly short runway, it's a bit short of 2.000 meters which is NOT long enough to handle the largest military aircraft, or civilian for that matter.

It won't smell and feel that different if there are commercial flights like everywhere else.

where is St. Helena?

Music, what music?

55DepotStreet Bensound - Memories

+ZS2YCL The 'flapping wings' look is typical of the 737-800, they're a lot more flexible (by design) than the older 737-400's etc. The simulator engineers at Comair (the company flying the BA franchised aircraft to St. Helena) have created a very accurate replica of St. Helena for the companies flight simulator (down to actually seeing seats in the terminal building when you park there!), so the pilots fly many approaches in the 'virtual' world first under various conditions (I'll just say that it's an eye-opener, you need to be on the numbers there). The performance specialists calculate the usual figures for thrust settings, weights, V speeds etc based on Boeing performance data and the known airfield parameters prior to the start of operations to the field.

Nazerito Hlongwane South Africans pilots CAN fly - I'm always proud when I hear the South African accent when flying. I truly enjoyed watching this clip.

thats my hubby that landed it

Ex , airforce !?

piet skiet 👍🏻

nope ..... My husband was the pilot and he is very much a South African

enrique rivera agreed

St Helena has been known to drift off-course.

Yea' but don't tell anyone; It's the wind that blows it off-course ;)

I do it 3-4x a week in FSX....watch me butter the bread....i don't even need a hook! Lol

I land titan on top of maze bank in gta v but i think i should try FSX.

Marco Masciolini I

Leandro Muniz no. You didn't invent it. The only thing that you and Embraer share is that both were born in Brazil. Embraer doesn't even engineer in Brazil

Urho The Human In a globalized world, it is practically impossible to have a company in which its engineering is 100% national. The important thing is that Embraer is Brazilian and takes the name of the country in its name and airplane models. After this, the South African company commissioned several E195 models that will be manufactured in Brazil, generating income and jobs. More than that, the aerodynamic design of the E195 was produced by Brazilian engineers ...

Leandro Muniz what a logical and well thought out argument, i must say. And agree. But they only use the E140 just because the 37 is too big for them.

this is a plane by boeing .........

Ian Witten The plane that operates there nowadays is an embraer

I believe it was from Johannesburg, SA

Timothy Cook Clay Kemper I’d be very surprised if it was Johannesburg, a 737 would struggle to go 6000km😬 Unless it had almost no passengers or luggage. Particularly with an airport no plane had ever landed at and notoriously unpredictable winds in the south Atlantic.😳😳 Maybe Cape Town, Walvis Bay or Windhoek Namibia I’d have thought.

@@numbersix100 Yes it was Johannesburg, approx. 4900 km. Cape Town is only about 500 km. closer. Besides, 737-800's routinely fly between Newark, New Jersey and London, England, 5775 km.

Timothy Cook I see they have a weekly service now from Johannesburg to Saint Helena, it stops at Windhoek (Namibia), fills the tanks then to Saint Helena. The aircraft is an E190 which makes sense and only lands on 02 runway to get round the wind sheer problem.

@@numbersix100 Except St.Helena to Joburg is only 3680km.

Britain will always try to help and protect friends,the majority of the world has benefited from Britain but not many know or would acknowledge it unfortunately. The world would definitely be a worse place without them.

Its a South African registered aircraft operated by Comair under the British Airways banner. Very much a South African crew and company.

Eu também 👍

That's why I'm here......

Martin Benford fencing creates turbulence as the wind topples over the top. yes wind shear can be a problem but at least there is a chance of the flow being laminar and linear

But the tourists will only come in the good season when conditions are perfect. No need flying loads of people to a stormy desolate place.

Dont worry trump will build a wall around the airport to protect the planes from winds 😂

Yeah, a 200M high fence will do the trick!

Why?

I just wanted to go these remote islands as life experiences I find these places are truly amazing and how people live in such wonder of the world

@@dxwallace55 not sure what else I can say if I was born 70s I probably would of also bee flown on Concord but I hope supersonic aviation travel comes back

@@rez4405 Should be a cool trip either way. I wanna do it myself, but I couldn't decide between St. Helena, Ascension or Tristin. I've have to go with St. Helena because of the airport though. Tristin seems even more remote with no airport if I'm correct, just wondered why it appealed to you more...

Tea Sea no trucks there. They toss coconuts.

They get a water salute if they don't stop at the end

@@dodgeplow lol

Yeah pretty retarded since the plane has its reversers out, so they were not going to take off again...

I think the sentiment was "the plane still has to stop", Gilles.

the runway end isn't very forgiving. you'd be picking up birds eggs off the beach.

It's short. Only 6400 ft . Most airports are 8 to 10,000 like at JFK.

@@WALTERBROADDUS Takeoffs require more run way than landings, and statistically way more accidents are on takeoffs.....
