The Falcon of Malta's Incredible Story: The best Air to Air Kill of WWII
George Beurling, a Canadian fighter pilot, became one of World War II's top aces. Known as "Screwball" Beurling, he served primarily with the Royal Air Force in the defense of Malta. His exceptional skill and daring earned him the title "Falcon of Malta." Despite his nonconformist attitude, Beurling's precision and sharpshooting downed 31 enemy aircraft in just 14 days during 1942. His unorthodox tactics and fearless nature made him a legend. After the war, Beurling attempted various flying endeavors but tragically died in a plane crash in 1948. His legacy endures as one of Canada's greatest wartime heroes.
I recommend watching "Air Aces" on George Beurling for a more in-depth documentary

In this video, I explain the usual procedures for engine failure and emergency landings. As a private pilot, I have trained for this. I can't comment on what Trevor Jacob did, but I can explain what we are trained for and what most pilots would do if they didn't have a parachute (which is usually the case). I provide you with the information on what would usually happen so you can make your own...

I met both of the Rutan brothers when I was painting airplanes at the Mojave airport, I found Burt to be very personable and exceptionally friendly, he was genuinely interested in the work I was doing and seemed completely void of the kind of ego you would expect from such an accomplished engineer, Dick Rutan…not so much.
How about an explosive bolt to release the rotor, then deployment of a ballistic parachute system?
If you can tolerate the tail wag of the v tail I guess its not too bad although passengers in the back seats will get airsick. still an expensive airplane to own. magnesium flying surfaces make it very susceptible to corrosion. I'll keep my Bellanca Cruisemaster.
No Mxs or Mx2? This video is inconclusive therefore invalid.
How do I follow you?
STANDAR ???
Prices aren’t too bad considering what they can do…essentially a STOL aircraft…I wonder if there are four seater versions…
Who builds it kind of important
Just the process seems ridiculously complicated
I am building a monowheel in New Zealand ...
I just found out that my grandad was in thw POW camp with barder and i have a photo aomeone took of him in the camp unseen by anyone
Which Flying school did Tom Cruise get his CPL from/?
Is it true that Cirrus has a parachute cause it can not recover from a spin?
1:33 I think the North American Navion counts, so make it three, not two post war, all-metal, light planes. Depending on the source, the Navion was first. There are, also, the Luscombe 8 and 10 to consider. The Luscombe 8 was in production before the war so they may have produced the first post-war, all metal, light plane when production resumed.
would be nice when you translate your inch and feets into metric so normal ppl can understand it :)
What model was that with the retractable gear?
21 yearold instructo, wow... 21 yearolds today dont even know their own gender
Wasn't this guy KICKED OUT OF WWII!
Bro changed his convergence and used Stealth belts like in War Thunder 😮
I think Beurling had alot in common with Marseille. Both individuals trying to play a team sport solo.
He’s a stirling guy that Buerling
I like aerobatic very much.
He didn't lose his legs in a pre-war accident it was while he was in the war next time you want to post a video of a military veteran get your fucking facts right stop making up bullshit misinformation
And what about Jurgis Kairys?
No range, no payload . No point
Um, wrong. Win races, set records. THAT is the point. 🙄
@greenpointaviation has a great video on flight mh370 i recommend you check out
Both the EZ in LongEZ and the Eze in VariEze are pronounced like "easy", not "Easy E"
The Cirrus requires a parachute repack every ten years costing at least $25,000 US. Whether the parachute was used on not. More cost on the SR-22 and G1 planes need the airframes cut and patched and repainted in the chute area. Cirrus is now Chinese owned, and their customer service means you should order your repack kit a year in advance. Not repacking the chute can mean grounding the plane. Why did Cirrus even do the chute? Spin recovery problems, only way to get it certified. Go Diamond.
750 nm
DB cooper is a bad ass
The guns were .303 British caliber, not 7.7mm!
Rip Burt
Rip Dick Rutan, Burt is still with us.
Great video Mike!
RIP Earhart
Plane #2 - Lancia Evolultion?? Try Lancair. Top speed of Pipistrel Panthera is incorrect. VNE means Never Exceed Speed, not top speed. Get it right, very poor fact checking.
Can you earn money with a sport license
TL;DR: 1) money 2) money 3) money
Nice flaps!
😳
Interesting vid Mike! As a POC of Pakistani heritage and a feminist I would like to see a video about Marium Mukhtiar, Pakistans first female fighter pilot please.
On the list
Have you ever heard of the "Cornfield Bomber"? It's a nickname given to a Convair F-106 Delta Dart that landed itself perfectly in a Montana field in 1970 after the pilot ejected due to a flat spin. Remarkably, the jet corrected its own flight path and managed a gentle belly landing in the snow. It's a fascinating example of Cold War-era technology and sheer luck coming together. I think this would make an incredible deep dive video, showcasing the mechanics, the pilot's experience, and the aftermath of this unusual aviation event! Would love to see your take on this!
Thanks I'll look into that!
Electric offers nothing.
now THIS IS A GOOD VIDEO !! Excellent work man, big props !
Thanks
Can’t G-loc down this Top G. Great video and epic story Mike!
