"Welcome aboard Southern Airways Express Flight 246, from Dulles to Wendy's. Our expected flight time is about 20 seconds." BRAVO ZULU to the flight crew. You are real heroes.
“From Dulles to Wendy’s” 😂😂😂
When the local fire department looks bored while parked next to your plane, you've done something right.
Too funny! Good one! 😂
😂😂😂 I hope they all arrived at Wendy’s in time to not miss lunch.
Could you super size my Order Please 🤣🤣🤣🤣 , Talk about a Short Hop flight
the re-enactment at the end with msfs is honestly quite useful for visualizing what the pilots had to contend with, nice touch.
That alone got my sub to his channel. The guy is just a natural teacher to us folks who want to fly one day.
Agreed, that really demonstrated how tough it was to thread that needle .
Made me L.O.L. 😂
sure was tricky like wind sheer..
KABLAMMO!
This is what happens when you don’t try the impossible turn to return to the field.
Indeed.
You *land safely.*
It's called the impossible turn for a reason.
I thought the impossible was doomsday?
Yes. Then step out and go to lunch.
I’m sorry I misunderstood
Note to self: Do NOT go for the ‘Impossible Turn’! 🤨
My daughter is a deputy with Loudoun County Sheriff. The plane landed approx 1.7 miles from the fire/sheriff station. Amazing action by the pilot landing in bad weather on a heavily traveled road with power lines, trees, etc. Amazing no one was hurt and that no cars were involved.
She kept a cool head and displayed excellent airmanship in the face of danger. Im glad they didn’t waste time making a mayday call. We all know the order of operations and she did it right.
Who cares? Your daughter had nothing to do with it
@@steveo3831 I know you’re just trolling to be rude, (and saying something to you is almost certainly pointless) but his daughter was clearly a first responder on the scene.
@steveo3831 this is your peak moment in life. Hold it, never let it go because it'll never get better for you.
She should reevaluate her life choices.
Okay, watching Juan flying the emergency in the simulator program is a kick in the pants! We need to see that more often!
Yes, but please, with a better set of controls. The way he was flying reminded me of myself when trying to fly without auto-coordination and no pedals...
Also, in a plane like that, I'd assume you do quite a lot by feel - possibly Juan made too large inputs because he was expecting a force feedback and not getting it.
Where can I see that simulator video?
Most flight sims seem to have a "washy" NON-tracking flight model, as you see on the decent. Juan I am curious how you feel sims compare to real characteristics.
Indeed.
@@hudekhoustonartist8:50
This happened just down the road from me. Considering the weather and traffic conditions, it was a combination of piloting skill and sheer luck that everyone walked away. And with some minor aircraft repairs, the plane can be used again! BRAVO to the flight crew.
Luck. Only luck
@@steveo3831sir are you aware of how much training pilots must undergo
@@SusanKay-If you can use the aircraft again, it's an EXCELLENT landing! :)
@@steveo3831 not even close buddy. Making quick decisive actions to land the plane immediately and safely off airport takes a lot of skill. Of course theres a lot of luck involved that there weren't too many cars on the road and they didn't hit any powerlines or anything, but that luck could not have taken effect without the skill of the pilot. An unskilled pilot might try and turn the plane back around to the airport just to crash and kill everyone.
@@steveo3831Luck = Preparation + Opportunity
You blew it, Juan. Don't you remember that you're supposed to practice that simulator run long enough that you can demonstrate that the real pilots didn't know what they were doing? I'm kidding of course. You really proved just how on top of their game they were.
I’m actually blown away. The procedure posted said to keep airspeed at 85 kia for failure immediately after takeoff. Brown, in this simulator, wasn’t able to do it.
And me that trying to keep track of the gauges and I couldn’t keep up, either.
The crew did amazing and were obviously very well trained
Was it a female pilot
They did an excellent job. I have 3,000 hours in Caravans. They glide well. In fact if your engine fails near the FAF on an ILS approach and you are fast and not at the best glide speed, you will over shoot the touchdown zone! I used to practice simulated engine failures twice a month when I was flying for FedEx in CE-208A/Bs.
I have known pilots that have worked at Southern Air. They are well trained. From what I have heard, has been positive. Training, experience, SOPs, CRM and thinking ahead makes the difference between good and bad outcomes. Very good video. Keep it up.
It was also advantageous that they only had five passengers and a half load of fuel. Sometimes the holes in the cheese line up to give you the best possible outcome.
How many times in ATC communications do you hear the phrase "across the street from the Wendy's"?
uhm, likely never lol
On a visual into KEWR you follow the Budweiser sign...it's all part of professionalism.
Funny!! For all the flying I did around EWR, you can’t see the airport for anything, but the Budweiser sign was 100 times better than the beacon!! As I recall, years back it stopped rotating for quite some time and was only visible in certain directions - it should have been a NOTAM.
Probably not very often...
Pilot:, Tell EMS I'll be over at the Wendy's getting a Biggie with a frostie, I never got lunch before takeoff.
My 23 year old son is an FO for Southern airways based in Lancaster building his hours. He loves it there. Will be captain soon. Really likes flying the caravan.
They fly a couple of flights a day from here, JBR. Whatever the company is like, those kids seem to genuinely love flying.
What school did your son go to for flight?
@@PD-we8vf thrust flight Addison Texas.
I’m a 208 mechanic. Caravans DO NOT do well in icing conditions. According to Cessna, 208 and 208B pilots are to avoid icing conditions whenever possible. And it’s the inertial separator, which was probably not engaged or was maintained properly. It has a very complicated linkage system that needs to be cleaned and lived regularly or it can fail.
I used to work for an aircraft manufacturer who made planes with PT6 in them and I always marvelled at the design of what they called the Inertial Particle Separator or IPS
The Caravan is notorious for accidents in icing conditions. There is a reason C208 pilot's are required to complete annual cold weather operations training per an AD. It's the only airframe I'm aware of that mandates such training.
I fly as a passenger on Southern Airways Express about once a month for work so I have many, many hours with them. I have found the young crews highly competent and I do not have any extra worries about my safety.
I also fly with them frequently and scheduled to fly with them on this route in a couple of weeks. Overall, I found them to be very professional. I did fly one flight with them last fall where a senior Captain deliberately scud ran 1.5 dots low the ILS into LNS. The captain and I had a chat after the flight. The airport was right at mins. It is flat farmland on the corridor. Still, not very wise.
Glad you covered this one. I watched some news coverage and was really impressed. A witness was in a car that she flew right over and landed in front of him and he commented on the excellent job noting the wires, signs and traffic the pilot had to navigate around. Happy to hear that this ended with no one even hurt. 😊
PTL
Pilot did excellent job..Yaun ,I don't know know about you though ..More dual training! Lol
I live near here (north end of Dulles) in Ashburn. The road was mostly clear of cars because of the snow (it's usually packed with cars) and a guy on the road noticed the plane 20 feet overhead and it landed right in front of him. He said it wasn't until the last bit that it veered off the road hitting the guardrail. Amazing piloting skills.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Even theoretically "perfect" aircraft handling, isn't gonna help you once it stops being about aerodynamics, and starts being about the futility of those tires/brakes trying to grip on an iced-up road.
@@boatrat “Vehicle collision with guard rail on Loudoun County Parkway.” Oh no, car, truck, semi truck? “Airplane.” Wait… _what_?!
yep. @@puellanivis
Funny thing is Engine 609 was coming from a call and drove up on the plane in the road, probably moments after it happened.
Looking at those time stamps at the 2:35 mark of the video - everything happened in about 20-25 seconds. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but that really brings home how amazing the crew's reaction was. I can't even imagine that feeling, or the rush of emotion afterward...you've got 20 seconds to save yourself and everyone on board, and you pull off a damn miracle landing.
The end with Juan trying to pull it off on MSFS 2020 it's GOLD !! 😂
Yes.
Great touch adding the simulator. High production value! Looking forward to more of this when appropriate.
Seems to me like this is a case of Aviate, Navigate, and Communicate. The crew did a fantastic job of landing the plane with no injuries.
FYI on the propellers installed on the PT6A-114(A), the blades move into the feather position once oil pressure is lost between the gov and the prop hub. But will feather quicker if commanded by the pilot before total lost of prop gov oil psi.
Loved the flight sim recreation, just shows how tricky this miracle landing was. Sort of weird to hear of a PT6 failure like this, mind you a Super King Air had an engine failure at Sydney airport in a very similar situation like this where the pilot turned on the dead engine to get back to the airport and killed 13 people. In that crash it was suspected there was fuel contamination by water. I suspect the same here. Also semi weird to me to see a Cessna Caravan with an aluminum prop. The few I see in Oz have the composite prop. On impact that style of prop just turns into a witches broom of carbon fibre. The Caravan isn't popular here due to the limitations of being a single engine aircraft Vs it's size.
?? There are heaps of c208 in Australia. One had a EFATO out of lizard island QLD last week
10k time In the -67. Have done 3 shutdowns 2 due to oil seal(prop) and 1 full on shit the bed(#1 main bearing failure. No SEIFR for me
Most caravans in Australia are aluminium props , I’ve seen maybe one composite prop on a meatbomber (skydive aircraft) . The accident in Sydney in 1980 had many issues . Hot conditions 39C , overweight and a company using a non approved , derated power setting as an unofficial SOP . Whilst water caused the failure in that case it was unfortunately deemed pilot error . There is absolutely no indication of the cause of this failure , there’s a multitude of possibilities .
Don't call it a miracle. You're belittling the flight crew by signing it off as an act of god. There was certainly luck involved but skill clearly played a far bigger part in how this turned out.
@@OutbackCatgirl He wasn't belittling the flight crew! You're "colouring" his comment with your own bias
He was simply saying the crew managed to pull off an extremely difficult emergency landing despite the high likelihood of a tragic outcome.
There is no assertion that they were "saved by God" or anything like but simply the crew managed a miracle like outcome
IMO ALLEGEDLY
Loved the "fun" simulator segment! When you said about the weather conditions they had.. Makes you realise how much harder they had it.. Plus it they screwed up they dont get to press restart.. Puts it into perspective... Well done.
Beautifully piloted emergency! You can tell they had their departure briefed and were ready to react perfectly. I hope the pilots get a good quarterly bonus!
At a small outfit like that, their quarterly bonus is probably a roll of quarters.
It should double their bonus. Now they'll get TWO Wendy's vouchers.
For this outcome, everything had to go right after the failure. Immediately dropping the nose, initiating a turn to the best landing spot possible, flying the airplane all the way through the crash, accommodating traffic conditions, and threading the needle around the obstacles at ground level. All in about 20 seconds. Wow. Just, wow.
My daughter is in the middle of her IFR right now up in MI (we are in Florida) and winter ops just scares me. We are used to rain, but snow and ice and extreme cold temps are so foreign to us. I know my kid is being trained for it, but stories like this both make me feel more nervous for her AND better because I know her training is top notch.
whoever was the pilot in command. You did an excellent job!
ATC: 83X fly 180 to IHOP, expect PANCAKES in 10 minutes.
Yep, fixing pancakes at the PANCAKES fix
Quick passenger survey: Wendy's or IHOP? 😁
@@RockandRollWoman apparently they couldn't decide
@@kurtreber9813 I'm hungry, I'd like pancakes right now!
But steveo wants an egg mcmuffin.
I have family that live about 10 minutes from there and have driven that road many times. I can’t imagine trying to land a plane in there. It looks bad on sim, but is way more narrow when you’re actually driving through there. BIG Kudos to the pilots for making that landing.
Listening to a local radio station yesterday, an eyewitness and driver stated that the plane landed about 30 feet in front of his car. This pilot did a miraculous job, especially considering the drivers in the DC area are awful.
I would religiously watch a channel of you just half-assidly going through the accidents you report on via simulator... I don't care if it is this main channel or some other one but please do more simulator wotk. it is fantastic.
Ditto. That was so instructive to this non-pilot. I would love more simulator rides.
It would be cool to see how many of the emergency landings he can make first try. Granted it would be mostly with unfamiliar aircraft, so he is starting from a worse position than the pilots in the real emergencies.
Guessing the engine didn’t fail but the beta block slipped out of the ring because the pin was missing. That would explain why it was still spinning with power behind it while feathered. Had the same thing happen to a caravan while
I was the CP of a FedEx feeder. She landed short of the field in Tracy CA with only an over torqued engine and muddy landing gear.
My first thought yesterday: "She must be Navy!" The composure in her voice, yeah that's the bus driver i want😂
Carrier landing skills would have been very applicable with this!
You don’t have to be navy to be composed. Just level headed.
@Plutogalaxy so youre saying this was an act of terrorism. (Sarcasm)
@@dicktiionary I'm going to Hell for laughing at your comment!
@@Plutogalaxy Great piloting Ahmed!
Juan explained the Essential Air Service federal subsidies. My airport at Imperial, California is served by the same airline as the subject aircraft with flights between Imperial and Los Angeles, and Imperial and Phoenix, AZ. There is no way that we could have an airline serve Imperial without the subsidies. The pilots are flying the Caravan and Pilatus PC-12, and have a pretty good schedule to LAX where I connect to flights to Australia. I have never experienced a cancelation due to the equipment.
Love the ride along in the sim. Congrats to the pilots on duty for pulling off a challenging situation 👏 💪
Pilot did a pretty amazing job of things considering how little time they had to work out options. Flown all the way down. Very nicely done
When possible. Keep posting the simulation of the emergency landings. This truly gave excellent context to the type of landing that had to be performed. Well done Blanco. Laughed on the Kablamo ending.
I stayed at the Staybridge Inn about 3 blocks away when I worked as a Dispatcher for the former Compass Airlines. Great reporting Juan.
Praise the pilot, which was Ahmed Awais, 27, a Florida resident. And the female Co of course as well! And Aldi and Wendy´s should be thankful for that special advertising!
Loved the flight sim recreation, just shows how tricky this landing was and what a good job these (presumably) young and relatively inexperienced pilots did.
The MSFS replay of you flying it was really useful to visualise the incident/accident. More content like this if you can Juan! Thanks again
My son was a Caravan 208 bush pilot in Alaska. 8 or so years ago he had an engine failure on take off (failed compressor blade) and landed on a frozen lake. No injuries. A week later the ice melted and the Caravan sank before it could be salvaged. He was based out of Bethel with a 135 opertator servicing very remote communities, but I can't remember exactly which airport he was departing from when the engine failure occurred. The flight sim idea to do a recreation is excellent, and I'm going to suggest to my son he also try that. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if he has already done a sim.
Fun fact: The GE satellite view may have been taken before the Wendy’s was built, but the Streetview is more current and shows it. I any case, any space not covered by trees seems to be covered with structures, so the Parkway was about the only space to set down.
That was a miraculous landing, Brownie. Love that simulator. Very cool!
I flew as a passenger on one of those Southern Airways Cessnas once on my way to a family vacation. They don’t have cockpit doors, so that pilot had to do that landing while also probably dealing with screaming passengers behind him.
Hopefully the passengers had the restraint to not distract the pilot(s). Screaming would not be called for.
I bet you could have heard a pin drop and passengers never said a word. This crew was in complete control of the situation.
There was not time for fear. Whatever was going to happen was going to be quick. Those passengers were silent and prepared to evacuate if needed.
Screaming? That’s in the movies.
@@marlinweekley51You made me think about the panic scene from Airplane! Hopefully there were no hysterical topless women in the cabin.😂😂😂
Thanks for the simulator ride! Really brings home what a challenge they had.
Great to see a video highlighting a “good job” by pilots.
Better hire Pete to be your sim pilot! Thanks for all you do.
The simulation was fantastic!
I hope we get to see the pilot. She was cool calm and collected. Really did a great job
Great episode. Loved the MSFS simulation segment at the end. I have tried it also after seeing your video and was able to land the plane with the help of a yoke and rudder. I have to say despite the superior skills and quick decisions of the pilot, the layout of the highway, heading of the runway and altitude when the power was lost, all made the outcome possible. It is almost a reverse case of the Swiss cheese with a not bad outcome. Hue!
Thanks for covering this one. I was hoping you would. They did an amazing job. I bet the crew wasn't long out of part 91 or 141 so their practice/instruction skills on emergency after takeoff were probably much sharper than most. If the crew is following...outstanding job especially with the weather on a busy thoroughfare. I love the Caravans...
Excellent airmanship by that crew. No time to communicate, but they did an amazing job maintaining airspeed and finding a suitable landing site. Having personally experienced an engine failure on takeoff in my Cessna 140, I can tell you it will test your nerves and pilot skills. I was only a few hundred feet AGL when the engine quit. No time to troubleshoot. Forward slip to try to make the end of the runway, but ended up in (thankfully) spring corn at the end of the runway. Towed back to the hangar, and the airframe was none the worse for wear. I didn't get scared until I was on the ground. I had excellent flight instructors, and training kicked in. If I had tried to make a turn, I would have destroyed the airplane, or worse. I wonder if these airmen will get job offers!
Jesus…..I’m not an aviator but respect the hell out of you JB. That MS simulation confirms my decision to admire a good pilot and my decision not to become one! Way too many decisions that have to be made…..I love flying but don’t trust my ability! I’ve made it too long to die being dumb! Kudos to all you great pilots!
I flew the B-1900C and D models at Great Lakes Airlines about a million years ago now it seems, but the PT6 series was super reliable. That being said, failures of anything mechanical are inevitable. Great job to the crew in this emergency, and I hope they have long and prosperous careers ahead of them.
Hell, considering the compressed time frame, this landing was as good as Sully's. 👍👍👍
We are going to the Hudson..
Perhaps even better - this airplane will probably live to fly again I assume. Granted that there aren't very many places where Sully could've pulled off such a clean forced landing in a big jetliner.
It was very snowy day in DC yesterday, so that probably helped keep some car traffic out of the way.
🦘🇦🇺 Thanks Juan. I’d still fly with you after that FS experience. We all know they don’t have the tactile response of a real situation. I reckon you would have put it down without a problem. 🙏
But the seat would still have been wet.
@@paulsherman51 🤣
I enjoyed watching a pilot try it out in Sim. Glad everyone is ok.
Thank you very much for picking this incredible Story up! - And especially for the enlightening Simulator Reconstruction which shows how extremely difficult it was for the Pilots to put this Aircraft down in a way that everybody could walk away from it wihtout Injuries.
Now if the media could just find a way to link this PT6 engine failure to the 737 Max.
They are masters of conflagration. They will find a way.
How many times did they try Sully's flight in the sim? They had one chance - outstanding piece of airmanship.
90 knots 1100 ft doesn't leave much room for wondering what to do. Respect 🎩
Very impressed. Excellent decision making and superb airmanship.
Incredible reflying the route in MS flight sim. Really helps bring it all into perspective.
Really like the MS attempt to replay the accident sequence. Thanks!
This!! This is why you always brief a departure. Excellent job by the flight crew. 👍👍
Also, the next time you are on the interwebs, the data centers are most likely in Northern Virginia. “The big Building” you mentioned are actually Google datacenters.
Great idea to include the simulation near the end. Shows you how hard it was/is , even for peple with lots of experience.
And we have the beautifil 'outro' music ! Thank you ! Happy New year from Mechelen, Belgium.
Great idea running the simulator on this event. This really gives you the perspective of what was required to stick the landing. Nice work!
I live just west of here. This area is home to one of the world's largest concentrations of data centers, e.g. those big white buildings. So this entire area is criss-crossed with those power lines. Excellent job by the pilot.
Just about to click away (after a like) when I saw you doing the sim. Thanks for the ride! The crew did am amazing job given trees, power lines and conditions.
Thanks Juan. When it comes to operating a UA-cam aviation channel you’re my #1 P.I.C.! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
"Mayday, Mayday!"
"Sir, this is a Wendy's drive thru"
In all seriousness kudos to the flight crew for this landing
So good to have a great outcome for a change. Fantastic job by the pilots! Thanks, Juan!
Excellent piloting... Great awareness of obstacles and forward thinking/visualisation of how when and what. This should be studied by all pilots who regularly take passengers. Incredible landing.
I live near there in one of the neighboring counties, I found out about it within three hours of the incident happening, I was quite astonished that this had happened so close to home! Impressive how it managed to come to a stop right in front of an IHOP - and moreover, the pilot was practically my age, too! Really looking forward to learning more about this fascinating incident! Imagine boarding a plane, expecting to land in Lancaster, but you only make it as far as the nearest IHOP 😅
Love the flight sim demo of the accident. Fantastic effort by the crew and no fatalities.
That's what I said yesterday, Juan. Noticed the feathered prop (engine), and power lines everywhere. WD pilot!!
Thanks, Juan! 😁😁
Loved the flight sim addition. Please continue this content in instances with happy endings!
Yeah, I also loved the sim, and it really does help with the visualization, but was thinking it might not be appropriate to goof around on a game when there was loss of life.
ATC: "Contact Center" Caravan "We are on the ground, next to Wendy's"..
Everyone OK, AWESOME.
*(Except for on Juan's flight..)😄
@@BrilliantDesignOnline 😂😂
She (the pilot) was able to pull over onto the shoulder. She didn't even block the flow of traffic.
@@frankhage1734 Were both crew onboard female? Person on radio does sound female, but is this the Pilot Flying? I'd fly with this crew anytime!
Surprised ATC didn't place an order.
Never knew plane engines had inertial filters like a locomotive engine. You learn something new everyday.
It's basically a turboprop thing, the PT6A, the kind involved in the incident, has them. Not sure about other models.
I just learned that locomotive engines have them.👍🏼
Also common on helicopters that operate in dusty environments.
@@petrosspetrosgali I have to google "inertial filters"
It’s not a “Filter”, the design is essentially using basic physics as its underlying principle and sheds Ice or FOD simply by a radical direction change when properly engaged.
Great work by the crew - I'd have been straight over the fence into Ihop after that! Glad all are ok, this could have ended very badly given the poor wx conditions and very low altitude. Phew! Thanks as always Juan 🤩 edit: Sim footage was fun, and scary at the same time - thanks for adding that.
I love a happy ending and would love to have been a fly on the cockpit glass to hear what was said when they briefed that takeoff. The pilot flying pushed the nose over hard right away and kept enough airspeed to accomplish that sharp left turn. How many would have stalled the left wing and rolled straight down into a smoking hole halfway to the road? Then actually sticking the landing and not slicing through a wing tank on a semi-high-powered electric traffic signal pole and going fireball, or worse on the high voltage towers. Lots of luck used from the pilots Luck Bucket but no doubt lots added to the Wisdom Bucket at the same time, and it's a lot more than just luck to pull that off, no way it was an instant decision what to do "when" the engine quit Your simulation was priceless. Bravo to the pilots and the training programs they went through.
I live just down the street. This is datacenter country - I used to work at the Amazon sites just up the street. How they missed power lines is beyond me. 606 / Loudoun County Parkway and US-50 is a busy area.
I’m not a pilot but enjoy aviation , it’s just fascinates me , especially from Juan’s expertise . If I hear about anything re planes on the news , I just wait until I get my notification from Juan’s channel . Always the best .
Great to see the feed from the Blancolirio Global HQ simulator. Thanks to the production team for setting that up. I think it’s time to lauch a sister channel, where we see Juan & Pete flying round in the sim?
You saying “PIO” during the sim portion got me chuckling. Thanks for that.
A good chance the terrible weather may have saved lives as there likely would’ve been less traffic on the roadway…excellent report as always Juan!
I live down the road and had it not been a day of a bad snow storm, that road is packed. They were super lucky that because of the snow there were wayyyyy less people on the road and probably barely any cars thankfully
As an Aussie avid aviation fan, thank you for these regular detailed reports which are another facit of the aviation world.
Well done recovery for all involved in this instance.
Cheers
G'day Oz from Canada!
Pls keep bogan language out of the comments, thanks
Moral of the story ... Do NOT fly with Juan on a C-208 out of Dulles on a snowy day. 🤪🤪 Kudos to the Caravan pilots, that's a heck of landing, it's great to see when the outcome is good for a change!
I believe Juan's speed was higher than what the pilot had so energy management was more difficult trying to land but regardless, that Juan didn't make it, shows the true skill level the rl pilot has.
Funny I had the same thought watching the sim recreation. But keep in mind the sim is airspeed while ADSB reports ground speed. I'm willing to bet there was ay least some component of headwind blowing - which makes what you see in the sim closer to accurate - but I get your point.
Either way, fantastic job by the crew.
Awesome work by the crew! Sounds like she knew her surroundings and sounded so calm. Thankfully everyone walked away safe!
Wanna add this!! The flight sim landing attempt was awesome! Would love to see you do that more! Although, I wouldn't have wanted to be on that plane in the sim!😂
Outstanding airmanship!
I’m a Californian in DC. Loved how you said “THE London Country Parkway”… folks in DC area don’t use the article “the” before highway names or numbers. Made me smile and think of home listening this. Thx for your excellent content and knowledge sharing.
I don’t know the exact rules but we use “the” a lot less than CA. We do say “the” with parkways. ie The Fairfax county parkway, The Loudoun County Parkway,etc. but otherwise it’s not used, like interstates, route numbers, etc.
No, we do use “the” before some non-numbered highways, like “beltway” or “parkway”.
Outstanding. What a great outcome. Well done crew.
I enjoyed the re-creation more than I expected. Thanks!
Bent Props to the crew for getting everyone down safely.
LOL ! yes!
Yeah, I wonder if she could get one for her den or office.
Is this a real tradition? If so that's awesome.
@@awboat I got three perfectly unintentionally semitared 3 bladed props from a Navion. They`d make excellent awards or great artsy wall hangings.
The local news keeps harping on whether or not the weather played a roll. Well yea, it did, I think for the better. The wx kept a lot of vehicle traffic home. The snowy wx likely helped.
Those heavy power lines help supply power to the massive Google Data Center just to the west of where the plane came to a stop. They also supply a large shopping center a little farther south along Loudoun County Parkway.
Are you saying that if they had taken out the power lines, for a brief moment there would have been fewer ads on the Internet and the world a better place? 😋
@@michaelhoffmann2891Yes, but that might have taken down UA-cam too, and what would we do then?
@@michaelhoffmann2891 Except for missing Blancolirio... and rock concerts!
Pretty much everyone has a data center in Ashburn, along with all the power lines. I'd be surprised if AWS us-east-1 doesn't have at least one az served by those lines.
