Anyone who is an actual pilot knows how to judge ridge crossings, tree crossings etc by how the angles are changing. This is stupid but the plane is missing him.
Smart dude he brought the camera he will be fine 😂😂😂😂 Edit: i started an argument also I know this joke is old maybe overused and isn’t that funny at this point I just enjoy the likes also some of these people are being annoying taking it way to seriously that’s the worst kind of kid in the class besides the snitch👍😂
Reminds me of a wing walker at Reno Air show back in '75 or '76 I think it was. Biplane was very low over runway and inverted, the idea being for the wingwalker to break a ribbon strung across runway with his body. Sadly they hit a slight down draft and the wingwalker made serious contact with the runway, and took his head clean off, bouncing down the runway like a ball with dudes head still in his helmet. Miraculously the pilot was able to recover and safely land the plane.
Two men, a well-known pilot and a wing-walker, lost their lives on Friday, 12 September 1975 in separate accidents within a few minutes before an estimated 15,000 spectators at the Reno National Championship Air Races held at the Reno Stead Airport in Washoe County, Nevada. Just 15 minutes after the death of Marland D. Washburn, who was killed in a crash during the T-6 Class race, the Reno National Championship Air Races' officials pressed pilot Joe Hughes and wing-walker Gordon McCollom into service to distract the audience from the crash scene by performing their specialty. The stunt called for McCollom to snatch a ribbon from the ground while harnessed to the biplane, while it was making an inverted pass in front of the grandstands. During the final minutes of his wing-walking exhibition, an unexpected downdraft forced the aircraft closer to the ground than intended, and McCollom's head hit the ground killing him instantly. Hughes was able to recover control of the damaged plane, a modified Super Stearman PT-17, and landed safely. A professional gymnast and wing-walker, Gordon McCollom, 25, was a student at California State University at Long Beach, and was a resident of Costa Mesa, California. The races were interrupted as a result of the double fatality, but went on as scheduled, after a few minutes. The two deaths were the second and third fatalities in the 12-year history of the Reno National Championship Air Races. The first fatal accident occurred in 1972, Tommy Thomas was killed when his sports biplane crashed during a race. Source: Motorsports Memorial
I would 100% trust my great grandfather to do this. He was a great pilot who flew combat missions in ww2, korea, and vietnam. At his best, Id have zero hesitation and absolute faith in him.
While the white marks are what a pilot initially aims for, if he did land on those marks, he would probably break half of the plane’s landing gears. That’s because on planes of those sizes (and even small 2 seaters actually) you need to round your approach to land relatively softly, as the vertical descending speed for planes is around 500feet/minute, and even more for military planes landing in dangerous locations, and that is way to fast for this kind of planes. That means that while they initially aim for those white marks, they usually fly around 50 feet above them, not much less
No, the big white blocks are where they aim to touch down. They normally aim for the threshold (piano keys) or 500' markers (sets of three stripes on either side of the centerline) in order to touch down on the big blocks, which are the 1000' markings. Airliners normally cross the threshold at 50 feet, not the 1000' markers. And small planes don't even need that. They don't need to cross the threshold at more than 20 feet. Often small planes will aim to land on the threshold by aiming at the grass before the runway, so that they flare and touch down on the threshold
besides he was wrong about him being on the touchdown aiming point, the guy is laying on the centerline so unless the pilot landed wayyyy off the centerline the guy should be perfectly fine…doesn’t make it any less stupid however
I'm looking at this close, looks like a C-160 but not sure... boots and mil trousers don't appear to be usaf... if C-160 a combat landing could go harder and hit 'mark 1'... regardless this aircraft was not going to land near him - all players here no doubt in trouble when this was viewed around the world..
I used to work at miracle strip aviation in Destin back in the mid-90s and they had a DC-3 that took off every night about 7:00 us guys on the flight line would take turns standing down on the threshold at the end of the runway and the DC-3 would get as close as he could to you before he pulled up and flew over your head that is one of the most exciting memories of my life seeing those two huge engines coming at you and we would always do this just before the airport closed
And….congrats on almost to 100k!!! 99.7k we are almost getting you there. Love your reactions, your channel was the first or second one I’d ever watched, so I will salute your achievement as job well done sir! Love my UK reactors. 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇬🇧💗
Back at my first training field, we had this mound right in front of the runway. It was great standing there while the aircraft went straight overhead. Difference was that the mound wasn't the touchdown zone. I had to go a bit further than that. Airfield had a curved runway too...and powerlines to one side. I got good at STOL operations pretty quickly.
I would trust retired Admiral James H. Flatley III to do it. As a Lieutenant, he landed a C-130 on an aircraft carrier without a tailhook. He was our CO on the USS Saratoga in 1980.
The white marking is not where the pilot is aiming but acually shows how wide it is depending on how many marks are present and the touchdown lined are further back
I was at North Island NAS in the early 80’s. We used to eat a tab or two of blotter and lay at the end of the runway in the brush. S-3 Vikings would be less than 20’ above us as they went over the threshold. Good times.
A former occupant of the house I’m currently living got a similar idea. The big difference was they did it with trucks on the highway next to the house… he obviously forgot the camera…
Nothing ever goes wrong when Bubba shows up with a six pack, a camera and he says "Hey Cletus, I got a great idea!" Rectal Cranial Inversion at its finest.
As a parachute rigger, we were doing training drops of aerial delivered cargo. The Marine riggers two drops ahead of us dropped their cargo and a civilian unauthorized to be there was killed when the platform landed on her. A few people were fired and went to Leavenworth.
I was at Brize Norton when the story came through at another RAF base of an airman who stood on top of a vehicle when the aircrew of a C-130 buzzed the airfield. He was decapitated by the lowered loading ramp. You have to pay for high jinx.
The crew is not drunk, and perfectly knows what they are doing, who is the guy, where he is and what he is doing. It has been briefed and a gust of wind would not prevent to land PRECISELY on a 20m wide runway ... nor prevent a go around if things don't go as briefed/expected.

Titanium is half as dense as steel
They call him sparky because his heavy nuts hits the asphalt and makes sparks.
Tungsten. Titanium is very light weight.

Gotta pull some negative Gs when you land, you can gain at least a couple of inches

Dude said this is why we have the Darwin awards like it's an event that's hosted annually.
Pretty simple way to survive is to borrow a hundred bucks off the pilot before he tries the stunt. 🤪
That plane clearly passed over him. ❤

Yeah I hear ya... I'm good. I wouldn't even be cool with being there to witness it.

Well, that, and all the men who jump off garden sheds onto the little kids trampoline, which doesn’t hold them up.

Don't worry he'll be taking orders not giving them.

When the plane lost altitude suddenly for one moment all his cameraman powers came to his mouth
WOW NO WAY YOU USED THE HECKIN MEME. YOU ARE SOOOOO FUNNY. GREAT COMMENT.
That’s one experienced pilot. Keep the plane centered over him and you’ll never touch him!

The white marking is not where the pilot is aiming but acually shows how wide it is depending on how many marks are present and the touchdown lined are further back
Like those tail flashes you have in the background. Wish I got mine
We all do this, in a way, when we board an aircraft. (Put our lives in the pilot's hands.)
I hope he's strapped down!
That plane was at least 20ft above the cameraman. It’s actual touchdown was 5x to 10x further down the road.
its alot more fun than you think. we do this all the time overseas deployed. when you deploy you will do anything for fun
I like how the camera started getting awfully shakey as he started to realize the angles. Lmao

The heavy balls of steel this man has anchor him to the ground and keep him from getting up.
