You can use your own phone camera, zoom, and see from where the "trails" are coming from. That plane was dumping fuel, which is a procedure for emergency landing, less fuel = less fire = more lives saved.
Milford Sound, what a beautiful fjord. Was there in 2018, definitely takes its spot as the best place I've ever visited. If you are ever fortunate enough to get to NZ it's a must see.
New Zealand was on my bucket list to go fly fishing. But after seeing a people go completely crazy commie during Covid, I’m just not as confident as I used to be to be. How can a free people tolerate that police SS treatment?
YOU wouldn't want to stand behind a C5M Galaxy when he opens up for take off. YOU could get blown over even from 300-400 yards. got the experience at RAF Mildenhall.

I'm excited to fly to CFU this summer. Thr Airport is known for a *VERY* short runway just on the coast like Skiathos. My dad told me that when he was there the pilots said that they need special training to be allowed onto the runway.
Former Cessna 172 pilot now flying a 747 I bet. We used to see how far we could go before dropping the nose. Actually if you had a bit of weight in the back you could hold the nose off forever lol
@@Nonoatfirst i trained off a grass strip. We were always taught to land at the slowest possible speed, hold off until it stops flying on its own and then you usually didn’t even need brakes. I got it down and stopped in one plane length once lol
As an ex CAL 777 Capt at the time…. It was EWR departure control ATC who dictated it was okay to dump fuel as the flight had already declared an emergency and had to return to EWR for a hydraulic failure just after takeoff on the way to China while only climbing to 2000 feet and remaining there at ATCs request to sequence them back for a landing. Since that incident, both CAL and ATC became more aware of the negative implications of dumping fuel over a populated area, at least around the local area, and came up with flight revision guidance to pilots enforcing that if a less populated area or higher altitude was available as a fuel dumping option, then environmental concerns should be taken into account. That’s why this video is old. We learned. P
St. Barts landings are a riot. We were anchored just below for a week, and it was a thrill a minute on the mornings when the planes came in. I bet they sell a lot of dry shorts in the airport trinket shop.
At 5:09 I am biased for Boeing since I live in Seattle, but the A380 is a thing of beauty I must say. It always amazes me that it can take off given how humongous and massive it is! Hats off to Airbus for this one
That stunt is blatantly against what the manufacturer says is the correct landing procedure. The 747 manual specifically states: *_"Do not attempt to hold the nose wheels off the runway. Holding the nose up after touchdown for aerodynamic braking is not an effective braking technique and may result in high nose gear sink rates upon brake application"._* Most likely, the pilot is just inflating his ego by showing off to easily-impressed spotters.
@ has nothing to do with ego. Pilots don’t try and impress spotters. Come on man. Boeing advises against it, but does not forbid this. I used to do it at a particular airport with an 11,000 foot runway and you have to exit at the end. So a good way of doing it is a bit of aerodynamic braking, without using brakes or reverse thrust.
@ As the manual says, it _" is not an effective braking technique and may result in high nose gear sink rates upon brake application"._ Good enough reasons not to do it.
@@coriscotupi unless you don’t need an effective way of braking. Again, when you touch down normally and use normal braking on an 11,000 foot runway, you will be at taxi speed halfway down the runway. Now you might have to add power, to speed up and get to the end in a fashionable time. Or, you decide to not use brakes. Not use reverse thrust and keep the nose up to get to the end of the runway a bit quicker and safe.
question about 2:20 because I find aviation really interesting but I'm not super knowledgeable on it. when a plane dumps fuel, does it evaporate instantly, before it reaches "human" level, or does it rain fuel a little?
Depends on altitude and temperature. It will evaporate fairly quickly as it is atomized when it hits the airstream but that low is probably going to see some on the ground. You would certainly smell it. I delt with a fuel spill at Dubai International Airport a few years ago, it was late Sept but still crazy hot. Fuel sump drains were left open as we discovered fueling the jet. Probably spilled a few gallons of Jet-A before I got the drains closed. Probably soaked a 20x20' area of concrete. By the time Airport spill response/authorities arrived, maybe 5-10min later, all the fuel had already evaporated, not a trace left.
It's not instant, but the altitudes required for evaporation are well undestood; the majority of dumps are over water, and the only time it "rains" is when there's something severely wrong with the aircraft, or someone royally fked up.
look up delta flight 89. pilot dumped 15k gallons of fuel at low altitude in LA, in 2020, after confirming he wouldn't with ATC. nobody knows why. There's an faa memo
i cant talk for large aircraft as i am in no way experienced with them, but light sport aircraft run on very high grade petrol. the Cesna 152 i fly for example the dipstick i use will evaporate all the fuel on it a few seconds after taking it out of the tank. i would imagine jet fuel would be more resistant based on other comments, but in the air up there, it should mitigate before it hits the ground in most cases. then again he was low.
a helicopter should cultivate caution and humility, but from years of observation and knowing some military pilots, the opposite is true, so at 76yo, I have never flown in one
Wise words, iv'e flown one before...they are very tricky xfour different axis to control..that's hollywood for you..grew up with Airwolf, that could "apparently" outsmart fighter jets..:-) We havent progressed much from the "are you not entertained" roman bread and circus culture..
I never landed in Miami, but I did experience one of the two craziest landings of my life in Orlando, during a slight break in a wall of incoming thunderstorms. We were in a smaller, fully loaded regional aircraft, getting tossed around like the SS Minnow. We all white knuckled it on the ride down, and I honestly didn't think we would make it unscathed. As we filed out a man up ahead of me mumbled something or other to the pilot, and the part of his answer I caught was "...typical Thursday in Florida". Hell of a way to make a living.
0:45 They should have stopped extending the 737 after the really good -800. Remember where it came from. The short -100 and -200 with sleek engines. The -800 was the peak of the evolution. -900 and MAX shouldn't have been built. Instead of them they should have designed a good 757 successor.

Try explaining to your Co workers when you got back from your vacation how you got an extreme case of wind burn and pits on your face while watching a plane take off.
That miami landing is beautiful, but I'm so sad to hear about the A380. I wrote a paper on it in highschool. I remember being so excited because they made it sound like they were bringing luxury back with the open bar, showers and bed. Sadly the airlines are pricing it out of reach to the average customer. Sad. 😔
There is an adrenaline buzz being near something that big, that animated and that loud. I’ve never done it but I have stood under the flight path, maybe 100 metres from the start of the runway, as 747s and A380s land. It’s exhilarating. You also feel what a rabbit must experience when a bird-of-prey swoops from the skies. It’s a primeval reflex. Would recommend.
I hope nobody was BBQ-ing under that 777 when it was dumping fuel in New Jersey... LOL A joke. For those who don't know, as long as the airplane is high enough, the fuel will evaporate before hitting the ground.
dropping water on a fire with a helicopter seems counter productive.. yeah you adding water.. but a shitton of air too xD wouldn't that spread the fire.. idk
I was on DELTA coming from New York to Savannah. We encounter a bad thunder storm coming into Savannah. The plane had to do circle around the storm You could see the walls of the plane flexing. I knew when the Gulfstream people sitting with me got worried I should also. We did not have enough fuel to go to another air port or back to Atlanta. We finally got landed and the Captain came out to tell us it was touch and Go for 30 minutes. He was drench in sweat. That day I and the plane was lucky.
Aerobraking like that is not a good idea for a lot of reasons. You can't see well ahead of you, you have to rely on differential breaking to keep in the middle of the runway - if that is even a thing in a 747, I don't know, chances are you cause undue stress on the nose gear if done incorrectly, and in general that is a thing many pilots pick up in their respective flight schools, but need to unlearn in their line training. However, IIRC this one instance shown here was because the plane had lost break pressure or something along those lines, so it was the best the pilots could do to slow the plane down as much as possible.
@@brkr78not much of what you said is correct here. You can see very clearly. You don’t need differential braking. Actually, if you were to touch the brakes, the nose would be forced down. The airplane didn’t lose brake pressure. The pilot chose to do this likely because he has to roll all the way to the end. Also, you don’t really have to “unlearn” this.
@ I mean, I was reiterating what both my FI and, as @Boss_Tanaka wrote, Kelsey from 74gear told me. Privately I only fly GA, DA40s to be precise. And even there aerobraking isn't a thing, at least not the way everyone learned it in my flight school, for exactly the reasons I provided.
@@Boss_Tanaka he is not the only 747 Captain. I like him, but he is not correct all the time. Boeing advises against aerobraking and 99 out of a 100 times, it doesn’t do anything. But it’s not “stupid” either. There is one particular airport where I use aerobraking. The runway is 11000 feet long and to exit the runway, is all the way at the end. So it’s very smooth to not use brakes, pop the reverse only in idle and keep the nose off. It’s an efficient way to get to the end of the runway safely and smoothly.
@codymoe4986 So a nice family holiday to a hot Greek island and then spending it being blasted by the heat, kerosene fumes and dirt of a massive jet. Objectively weird. And really quite disappointing.
We were mostly thinking, "I'm guessing @das5813 missed the part where that particular airport is in Greece." Or was there an international assembly of nuclear scientists in Athens, and this is how they let off some steam after a long day of meetings?
Would not it be nicer to describe the last ever built A380 as the newest or youngest A380? Anyway, Airbus has not totally ruled out reopening production of that magnificent beast.
That has to be the closest to a tail strike you can get without tail-striking
They have a tail bumper even if it did. It won't prevent a severe tail strike but it would have been perfectly adequate in this instance.

Looked like a planed test with the extra gear on it.

It actually did strike. Do you not hear the slight skid and see the sparks?

@@Boss_Tanaka he is not the only 747 Captain. I like him, but he is not correct all the time.
Boeing advises against aerobraking and 99 out of a 100 times, it doesn’t do anything. But it’s not “stupid” either.
There is one particular airport where I use aerobraking. The runway is 11000 feet long and to exit the runway, is all the way at the end. So it’s very smooth to not use brakes, pop the reverse only in idle and keep the nose off. It’s an efficient way to get to the end of the runway safely and smoothly.
There are some serious geniuses right there ! 😂😂😂
0:15 how the heck is that nit a safety violation at all? Someone needs to do something about that before someone dies
Meh, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
@@MattH-wg7ou that's the one 😂😂
i mean the runway is embedded into that area. its the people that want to get real close to them engines.
2:18 I actually think the reason they were dumping fuel over *New Jersey* was to get rid of the drones.
Love Milford Sound.
It shouldn't be possible to stand that close.
Also, imagine going on holiday to Greece and spending part of it filming airliners taking off. Weird.
Imagine judging others on how they go about spending their own vacations...weird.
@codymoe4986 So a nice family holiday to a hot Greek island and then spending it being blasted by the heat, kerosene fumes and dirt of a massive jet. Objectively weird. And really quite disappointing.
Just received another” luckily no one was injured “ shirt! Love it❤
Royal Bengal Aviation ended up in a lucaas video finally
Is anybody else thinking, are all these American nuclear scientists that stand at the end of the runway as jets take off all named Homer ?
We were mostly thinking, "I'm guessing @das5813 missed the part where that particular airport is in Greece."
Or was there an international assembly of nuclear scientists in Athens, and this is how they let off some steam after a long day of meetings?
Those people must hate being able to hear things
2:20 Now those are chemtrails.
Would not it be nicer to describe the last ever built A380 as the newest or youngest A380? Anyway, Airbus has not totally ruled out reopening production of that magnificent beast.
4:58 bro gona scrap it after that🚶🏻
Plane spotting gone right imo
0:25 is that a can, a phone, or a hat? Crazy to be that close either way
Touched down hard for that 777? PLEASE…..
6:00
Perfect song for this demo
"Learning to Fly" Tom PETTY =)
Not about airplanes.
That was a LOT of red showing on that MD-11 radar.... yikes.
4:38 They gave the plane the voice of the computer from Star Trek TOS. 🤣
Is Milford Sound on the south Island?
Yes, it is.
thank's for the video..
Nice video!
Isnt it highly dangerous to stand behind a plane like that? A rock or other debris can come flying and hit someones head.
Sometimes I don't understand what people think about the turbulance behind an airliner...?😃
Dumping their fuel over
New Jersey, poor fuel.
0:23 that poor soda can
i hope the bushes and the road is okay
Very nice🙏
I didn’t see anything wrong…. I was expecting to see body parts. I want my money back!
00:45 | Someone forgot to mention the blown right tire that caused the near tail strike.
R.I.P ANTONOV❤❤❤
That Airbus voice was early Star Trek (the one with Teri Garr)
5:01 that was during a hurricane
