Exactly! Love this guy

By the time you are in the right seat of a 737 you should not be "goofing up". Alot of " goofing up" going on these days and it makes the rest of us look bad and if it does not stop a "goof up" is going to kill alot of people. If that was the Captain thats even worse.

Well put - now if we all can act like this - CHEERS ...

That's right, planes are like cars everyone drives bad sometimes or parks crooked.

Yes, and like he stated landing like this is an art form mixed in with nature changing wind speed at the most inopportune time. The constant is always gravity but that wind mixes things up for sure.

seemed like if the wind was that strong, the wind might make it bounce like that...

I wonder if that nose wheel came down so hard it broke the shock/strut? The way it bounced down the runway and taxiway reminded me of an old car with broken struts. 🤣

135... old? That's like calling the B-52 old. On second thought, they *are* old. Never mind.

@@dennishernit2876 Haha yeah… flying 60 year old airplanes is an adventure lol.

@@firetpi I bet. Especially if you're only half as old as the plane you're flying.

@@two-tone6524 He is quoting other people.

Thanks

I just took an o-shit

I miss the B763 . Now flying the B788. 20 years in career.

@@kissedbyaudrey21 Yea the -300 was a sweet handling ac. Never flew the -200, only flew the -300ER. Used to see those beautiful new 78’s across the runways at Boeing Field. Good for you! I’m envious.

and even after the landed it, they were in a mine field!

Awesome!

I like how he said that "People don't believe I'm a real pilot." First, hope that's not his passengers boarding... "Oh I saw you on youtube... you're not a real pilot! And they go sit down for take off anyway." Second, of course he's a real pilot. He's gotta have a second gig... youtube... to bring home an income.

the internet also believes the earth is flat.

I have not meat him but he is very knowledgeable and I don’t think he would have so many fans if he was not really true 💙🤍💙🤍💙💖💘💖💘💖

@@sheiladikshit5110 the earth can be any shape it wants to be... no judgement 😬 Are you named after the former CM?

Yeah! Just because someone makes KZfaq video doesn't mean they don't have a life and a career behind, LOL. Maybe it comes from the culture of television, and taking people less seriously when we see them on a screen.

Yeah, me too. :)

My advice is don't. We don't and it's because it's sort of a so-so average blue collar job. Trust me as one a monkey could fly a plane with enough repetition and the tech involved. The geniuses are not the pilots, but the software developers that program the software running the operation. They are the real heros that should make the big bucks and command the respect. Flying It's really not hard at all, and certainly not a prestigious career. It's an ok blue collar job that gives me a paycheck. Nothing to write home about really. Put in the furlough aspect of it and that makes it actually more unstable than most other jobs.

Yeah but it’s probably why he does Cargo now. Commercial Airlines don’t want their pilots to have golden retriever energy.

@@assrammington7961 What energy do they want them to have??

For sure! Ive been sending nervous fliers here for quite sometime now, I dont know any better person to show how professional these guys & gals at the nose are. Im super proud of him :)

@@dogegamer3288 You have a point absolutely, but you guys still have yours and the passengers life in your hands while flying. When shit hits the fan you are the only ones who can put the plane safely on the ground.

705 (or FAA equivalent) ops are not the only type of flying out there. There's plenty of hand flying that takes a ton of skill.

@@dogegamer3288 What nonsense. I don’t think you are actually a pilot at all.

@@jamesgrieve188 Good thing nobody cares what you think or what you call nonsense.

If you want to keep that perspective, do not work for an airline.

Go check out a show called Air disasters on the Smithsonian channel.

A 737 is not a massive airplane ... anyone trained properly can fly one....

@Geek that’s actually not the case. But nice try.

@Geek yes, didn’t need that explanation, since I’ve been flying for 3 decades and currently on the A340 with FBW. The FBW sets limits. Limits we are never supposed to come close to. But we still fly the airplane. Even with FBW, in gusty conditions, it’s still a hand full. As a matter of fact, the problem is that these computers can’t think ahead. So they are reactive, whereas we can be proactive as humans. Something as simple as intercepting a localizer, if we have a 40° heading intercept, I can see that we get close to intercepting so I can start reducing the intercept angle. Your computers won’t know till the needle starts moving. Now it likely overshoots and has to turn back to reintercept the centerline. That’s just one of many examples.

Almost. It's 64-14849, one of two remaining RC-135U Combat Sent. The Rivet Joint has a longer nose and no chin pod.

It is not a modified 707, that’s the E-8 J-Stars. The RC-135 is just what the name says, a Recce 135 which is a modified KC-135. They are quite different. I supported both in Qatar back in the mid 2000’s.

Was that what the press release the military put out said? Lolol

They are above us cities at this moment monitoring. Not JUST military purposes.

@@Squossifrage great info and correction. :)

Would be great addition to ntsb

Truthfully, you aint got time to panic "freak out". not during landings or takeoffs.

I believe Kelsey has covered this one in an earlier video...

Fascinating - love that. So they slightly misjudged it and I guess just a handful of yards can make the difference in that scenario and so easy to do in an unfamiliar plane. And even six inches too low I can see how with that mighty tonnage the energy transferred to a landing gear train if the wheels have clipped the very beginning of the runway - yup, can see why it sheared off the gear.... very, very scary, these test pilots have a more dangerous job than base jumpers!!

Good comment, Joe Sutter sure had a fascinating career and was one heck of an engineer & manager. His book, Creating the Worlds First Jumbo Jet is a recommended read for anyone interested in Aviation and Engineering.

FYI the landing gear is designed to shear off under certain load conditions, reducing the chance of a fuel tank rupture

Happened at Renton, WA. There is a video of that landing. It is a short runway. Renton Boeing is where 737 and 757 were manufactured. Usually big birds went out and did not return.

I would be like that. "Whoops, wing strike."

youtube channel Peter Masella just had a video he put out today of landing on 13. He said they went up the Hudson and made a big left turn into NJ and then came back around and landed. There was no right turn. He said it is very rare to land on 13.

San Francisco has this approach for runways 01L and 01R: this is tricky because of the hill which is within about a mile from the end of the runways.

​@@canyonoverlook9937That's the ILS 13 which is typically only used in bad weather. This approach is used normally when 4/22 is closed for maintenance and the weather's fine

That’s called edibles! You know the kind you buy at the weed shop and put in a Subway cookie wrapper before you board. Makes for great flying 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Why didn't your uncle teach you anything?

@@Anna_Xor ​ what makes you assume his uncle hasn’t taught him anything? He said he enjoys Kelsey’s videos. He didn’t say that he couldn’t wait to tell his uncle things that Kelsey taught him.

@@Anna_Xor Pretty rare that any relative "teaches" their nephews about their profession. They might answers questions if asked, but most people visiting with family prefer to talk about something other than work. "Hey Jeff, let's sit on the porch swing here and I'll tell you all about how to get set up correctly for a crosswind landing".

It's landing at RAF Base Mildenhall, England.

Landing at RAF Mildenhall and caught here by KZfaq channel Airshow World during a live stream.

I am wondering if the whole front is like a big window??? I know not a lot about airplanes 😂

I worked it in Offutt, at one time it was the most expensive acft in the military. Good luck on having someone tell you what those antennas are for ha ha

“If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you can use the aircraft the next day, it's an outstanding landing.” That is my favorite aviation quote. No one knows what they're doing 100% everyone makes mistakes. If you learn from them and you and the plane see tomorrow that's all that matters. (More precisely it really only matters you see tomorrow)

Been there. Part of learning, and a good pilot is always learning.

Were you 1.3 Vso over the fence? I bet you weren't. Better to go around than salvage a non-stabilized appr in any plane.

We did that once in El Paso in a Cessna 172 my dad was flying. In that case, a gust of wind picked up up in the air and then dropped us into the ground. The nose gear broke off. It turned out that there was a hairline fracture/crack deep into the gear that severely weakened it.

I was a student pilot just some months ago. I remember landing with way too much speed most of the time because I was terrified of stalling. This meant I ballooned a ton of times. Now I try to keep that speed closer to the suggested speed but as a student I usually just cared about landing vs how nice the landing was lol. Best of luck with your flights!!!

That's not a RIVET JOINT. It's called COMBAT SENT.

@@thedevilinthecircuit1414 Looks like a Rivet Joint to me. I worked around them a lot when I was stationed at Diego Garcia after 9/11. In any case, it's an RC-135. Maybe you can explain the differences between the Rivet Joint and the Combat Sent. That would be more productive than just saying "that's not a Rivet Joint."

@@skyhawk_4526 tail number says it is indeed a combat sent. Combat Sents are tasked with collected radar emissions from opposing military radars. The purpose of this is so that they can develop effective radar warning receivers and tailor electronic warfare systems a bit better. Visually you can also tell its a combat sent from the tail and nose sections.

It's a RC-135U Combat Sent. Both are electronic surveillance aircraft, Rivet Joint is employed in all theatres for tactical and strategic missions. Combat Sent provides stategic electronic surveillance information direct to the PotUS, Secretary of Defense, Dept of Defence Leaders etc. Think that's right. lol

@@skyhawk_4526 The difference is in the nose, the tail and the wing tips. It is an RC-135 Combat Sent.

Watch the air crash investigation TV series “Moments From Disaster” based on NTSB reports to learn more about aircraft safety. Generally, three MAJOR failures need to occur for a jetliner to crash.

@@dojoswitzer It’s the Swiss cheese model of reasoning, right?

The part of the wing which hit the ground was a winglet that helps to reduce drag. It isn't a critical part of the wing. Earlier 737 models didn't have winglets at all. This looks like a Max, but some older 737 NG aircraft have been retrofitted with the winglets from the Max design.

The winglet reduces drag and increases fuel efficiency effectively the same as building longer wings, but longer wings incurs higher airport fees; so up is better than out. Future jetliners may have folding wings instead.

@douglasswitzer8473 to be picky, the Max has a double scimitar winglet so it goes down as well as up. It was the downward winglet which was destroyed by the ground strike.

FBI OPEN UP SEARCH WARANT

Thanks! I was wondering what it was.

Is that based on a civilian airframe, or is it a completely military-specific plane?

​@@AlexandarHullRichter i think all the -135 airplanes are very similar to 707s.

@@AlexandarHullRichter its based on the KC-135 fuel tanker, which itself is based on the 707. The tankers have been in service for half a century but this is one of the top technological things in reconnaissance.

Might seem counter intuitive, but I recommend watching the air crash investigation TV series “Moments From Disaster” based on NTSB reports to learn more about aircraft safety. They show all the effort that goes into stopping incidents from reoccurring, to make flying safer.

@@dojoswitzer yeah like that'll help, why don't you tell him to read kathryns report every day too

@@dojoswitzer Unfortunately most people who are already afraid of flying and watch those type of shows only see the crashes and the terror, and assume that is what is awaiting them on their next flight. Most shows and KZfaq channels rarely put the incidents in context as to their rarity, or emphasize that the incident being scrutinized in a particular episode happened twenty years ago and hasn't happened since after hundreds of millions of flights. I think what works better are videos explaining what pilots do, to take away the mystery which is where much of the fear is. Yes you get some of that in crash videos, but they are generally slanted towards the dramatic because of views and ratings. Non-crash educational videos or channels are harder to find. This channel is good because the crashes or incidents are usually more minor and non-injuring, and there's a lot of education and no dramatization, and a more calming tone to it. Considering that the most reaction we generally see from Kelsey is a raised eyebrow.

@@StevePemberton2 Have you seen this particular series?

@@dojoswitzer Do you mean Seconds from Disaster? Either way I'm sure they have all of the explanations in there how they learn from the accidents, but how much do they emphasize how rare the situation is that they are discussing. Maybe they mention it but that tends to go right past people who are only going to be thinking about what the people in the crash went through.

It's actually an RC-135U Combat Sent not a RC-135W/V Rivet Joint. The Rivet Joint has that giant bulbous nose.

@@StevePemberton2 Thank you Steve. I appreciate the correction. I did not know about RC-135U but I bet I've been watching them and thinking Rivet Joint. Cheers.

I totally understand but chances of a plane crashing and you dying are slim to none

There's so many Rivet Joint variations probably the best way to identify it is to have a list of the tail numbers.

Most of those antennas are more than likely UHF and some VHF antennas. The RC-135 has a Command and Control element to it where backend operators have their own set of radios for communications with other aircraft and ground operators.

@@raiju02 retired USAF aircraft mechanic here. Much of my time was even on KC-135 aircraft, but never RC-135. I also spent time in an EC-130 unit. I added a comment explaining what most of those antennae are, but will add here: Front antenna that looks like a shark fin = VHF communication Longer, flat antenna not far aft of the VHF = my guess is GPS, but not 100% positive on that "Stubby" antenna aft of the one that I think is for GPS = UHF communication The 5 "tabletop" antenna are all for satellite communication (SATCOM) The "hump" antenna aft of the aft-most SATCOM antenna is possibly an HF antenna, but I'm really not sure. It could also just be a fairing for other special equipment that is unique to the RC-135 platform.

@@comicus01 RC-135V/W Rivet Joint has an enlarged nose, and is used for electronic eavesdropping. The RC-135U Combat Sent in the video has a more normal nose. It collects data on enemy radar installations. The RC-135U were converted from former Rivet Joint aircraft, but their mission is different.

@@StevePemberton2 I probably should have simply said RC-135 variations. When I was at USAFA in the late 90's, we had to learn all of the aircraft types, but for the RC-135, it was simply "Rivet Joint", not each of the 10 or so variants. And the current conversion it is in may post date my school time.

Absolutely! !!!!!

What’s extra interesting about that is it was delivered to the airline he flys for. We may see him fly that airframe one day

Thanks for these explanations. They have made me much more comfortable flying.

@@robbieallard that would be cool to see, didn't know he worked for that airline. I always wanted to fly on one, but the few times I flew cross atlantic the airlines had airbuses, and domestic I mosty have flown for business on a319/20/21's or Embraer's and some 737

@@michaelbcohen Though they stopped making them, they will be around for at least another 30 years so you may yet get the chance

@@wingracer1614 I hope, but I hear all the time is airline after airline retiring their fleet, and the jets being converted to cargo hauler

"Sorry, Major, no donuts for you this time. And you're buying for the next ops."

there should be no refreshment during landing

Sounds about right. I have a distant cousin that was in the AF flying stuff like this in the 80-90s. Only met him a couple times but that sounds like one of his stories, LOL

No Comfy Chair Was Hurt In The Making Of This Video

It was probably tea, not coffee, since it was landing at RAF Base Mildenhall, England. 🤓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤣

The easiest way to avoid this is, just ask the non flying pilot to turn the 'autobrake' switch to the off position if you've left manually pushing the autobrakes too late, rather than make it a roller-coaster ride for everyone on board. 🙂 Turning the Hyd pumps off during landing mode in any companies I've worked for, you'd be fired.

You should just be able to reach down on the center pedestal (Or wherever your autobrake switch is located.) and move it to the "disarm" or"Off" position.

@@TheHobade LOL. Maybe not fired, but you would definitely be getting an invitation to your own carpet dance, and free coffee with the Chief Pilot. "Follow me for more money saving pilot tips..".. :)

One commenter stated the plane had hydraulic failure and was coming in on emergency landing. The flaps were manually lowered.

@@robertheinkel6225 "Manually" extended? Do tell..... 707 has 2 hydraulic systems that can lower and raise the flaps. Normal, and Aux. Aux pumps are electrically vs air driven. The slats are actuated via air driven hyd pumps only. There is no "Manual" extension. Gear can be gravity dropped.

My Dad has worked very hard to grow his channel.

I’m a lot less fearful when I’m guarded by the Beefeaters. 😏🤷‍♂️🍸🍸🍸

If you are in the US, a PPL is not really lottery money, it's more like used car money. If you are not, then yeah, it can be ridiculously expensive.
