My flight engineer used to tell me "A clean aircraft talks to you" in regards to how easy it was to spot faults/leaks/cracks when you kept your aircraft clean.
lol ! Here's a different perspective you may not have known before. Jesus Christ the Messiah (peace be upon him) was taken to Heaven by Lord/God/TheCreator because some wanted him dead, so God saved him. The word christ comes from the Greek word 'christos' meaning chosen, the word messiah comes from the Arabic/Hebrew word 'messiach', again meaning chosen. Jesus did not speak Greek or Arabic or Hebrew, he spoke Aramaic. So, Who chose Jesus? TheCreator/TheGod/TheLord did. To do what? To convey that there is TheCreator/TheGod/TheLord and only ThatSupreme power should be worshipped and prayed to and NO idols/conjured up god/s by human kind, be it a man, a spirit of a man, a sun, a star, a moon, a tree, an animal etc etc be worshipped in any way. Anything that is worshipped besides TheGod is a god, that is false god, hence with a small ''g''. There is one Creator, hence why TheGod, the only One deserving of worship. What does Allah mean as a word? It means TheCreator/TheGod/TheLord. What does ''elaah'' mean as a word? It means any idol or conjured up god or gods that are false and do not deserve worship of any kind, hence why Islam rejects all gods but TheGod/TheCreator/TheLord/Allah. Why are all religions in opposition of Islam? Because they have a god or many gods but TheGod that is worshipped in someway or another. Have you ever read a Quran from start to finish? That you can answer for your self. (I recommend the Sahih International english translation, it's good). Best wishes. ------------------------------- .....btw..... Jesus did preach to worship the OneGod/TheCreator and not anything else, and so did his followers, peace be upon them all. This unsettled the Roman Empire because this idea of Monotheism went against their pagan beliefs where the emperor was both emperor and god. They persecuted the followers of Jesus and even attempted to kill Jesus, even a Roman Empire servant Saul of Tarsus was out to kill Jesus. Saul never managed to meet Jesus in real life but after Jesus was taken up to Heaven Saul said he saw a dream and said he will now preach the teachings of Jesus. Saul of Tarsus is also known in todays christianity as Saint Paul, so todays christians are actually on the teaching of ''Saint'' Paul which brings in trinity and godhead figure of Jesus and rejects Monotheism. -Jesus was commanded to preach Monotheism, which he did and early followers were Monotheistic believing people, which later changed with the Roman Empires paganism spreading -Jesus was commanded to preach ONLY to the Israelites, which he did, but after him Saul of Tarsus aka ''saint Paul'' started to preach to the Gentiles, which is the foundation of todays christiandom. -Jesus was commanded to rule for the circumsicion which he did, but it was taken out after he left -Roman Empire in 325 AD held a council, with empire alligned 'scholars'' to decide and VOTE on whether Jesus was to be worshipped or not, they VOTED that Jesus be accepted as god (in aliagn with the pagan beliefs of the Roman traditions) and ever since the trinity became the 'christian way' (not what Jesus preached), and sinc that time the Church has chronicled how many times the ''Bible'' has been changed, verses removed and verses added to SUIT this altered idea of trinity!

The good thing is AFFF is now being phased out in place of SFFF, which is a synthetic foam, because the fluorines used in AFFF are like you said, incredibly toxic not just to the jets but also to people! AFFF is what’s currently used in most fire protection systems in hangars, these will eventually be changed over to SFFF or special provision will be put in place to stop it from spreading if it’s used (bund walls, huge drainage and waste collection) and I say this is a fire protection engineer who works with it frequently! :)
One small correction: There's not a labor shortage, there's a wage shortage. The airlines keep posting record profits, but their wages have not increased as much as other sectors. I know three people who worked as ground crew over the last 5+ years. All of them have quit their jobs in favor of higher paying jobs elsewhere with low skill requirements.
@@Mustacheman17 Is ramper pay directly proportional to the volume of air and parcel flights they service? The airlines are claiming record profits while half their financed jet fleet is parked in the desert. Sure the planes they do have operating are relatively full but ... The management is yapping about new acquisitions from Boeing/Airbus .. as if it's 2019. Klaus Schwab says we'll own nothing and be happy. If we will own nothing ... we will not be needing jetliners.
@@Deploraclefalse. 2019 KSAT pax traffic was 10.3 mil. 2022 KSAT pax traffic was 9.4 mil. For it to be “25% what it was in 2019” it would have to be 2.57 million pax. Second, why would it be relevant even if it was true? Just means no one wants to go to that shite hole
Bit of advice. If performing a 14day on a Huey, after cleaning the rotor hub and other areas on top, do not just walk off the side of the bird. Just because your legs may be strong enough to take the landing from that height, does not mean the wet soapy concrete will provide sufficient traction to keep your feet under you. Trust me.
1. To spot some hidden (faults/leaks/cracks) on the plane, Repair it if necessary... 2. To prevent (water/acid-rain) corrosion, This can prevent some small damages on the fuselage...
When I was in the U.S. Air Force based in England, we had a automated car / bus wash that would break down all of the time. As I would learn how to operate it, I figured out how to use it while it was broken. Law Enforcment would call me up, and ask me if I could wash their Police cars. Even though they new the wash rack was down, they waited until I came on to work on Swing shift. They were so grateful that I relieve them of a lot of work, that one day one of these Seargent's pulled me over, but recognized me, and thanked me for helping them out, that he didn't give me a ticket and let me go. I still remember that like it was yesterday.

Water scarcity during times of war has a significant impact on local populations. The increased demand for water by military operations can deplete local water sources, leading to shortages for nearby communities. This, in turn, affects daily activities such as drinking, cooking, sanitation, and agriculture. Displacement of local populations due to conflict further exacerbates water scarcity issues, as larger populations compete for limited resources in new locations. Lack of clean water and sanitation facilities can result in the spread of waterborne diseases and pose a threat to public health. Additionally, reduced crop yields, livestock loss, and increased food prices contribute to economic hardships for the affected communities, affecting their livelihoods and overall well-being.
Yeah, we get it. It's all America's fault 'cause WE'RE the ones who keep causing all the strife in the world. WE'RE the ones keeping locals from choosing decent political leaders. FYI, Skippy, U.S. Military regs require water conservation measures be utilized to avoid adversely affecting indigenous populations. If local populations would figure out that they SEVERELY OUTNUMBER the local despots and warlords, the rest of the world wouldn't expect US to step in and take the role of the Planetary Police.
Not going to war in the first place seems like the best option, as if it wasn't already. There may be some cases where it's actually necessary to go to war, but fight to protect life and freedom, not oil and money.
Many years ago the company that I was working were pitching for military aircraft Check E contract. We were given filthy C130H and to conduct demonstration to the military officers We took 1 week with working hours of above 12 hours per day to have it cleaned and sadly, we were not given the contract Though we didn't got the contract but that was one expensive experience. Our team truly live with that experience
US naval aircraft onboard ship get a waterless wash every 14 days, then if there is enough surplus water available then it gets normal wash. How do I know you ask? 20 years as a airframes mechanic in the USN. 20:27 yeah, but no. 80% of the produced fresh water is for the reactor's cooling loop.
I disagree with the theory that it makes it more difficult to see cracks or other issues with the aircraft if it’s dirty on the other hand that’s exactly when you want to do a initial inspection of a aircraft, before it’s cleaned because you can see some cracks or damage to parts more easily because of the way the dirt flows around those cracks or even leaks out of cracks and also dirt helps find fluid leaks more easily also. Once that initial inspection is done, that’s when you clean the aircraft and all of the parts. I think that if you talk to any inspector or mechanic they will tell you don’t clean it until we get a chance to look at it first!
I think its important to point out that a lot of the mentioned cracks are actually microscopic and detected by specialized equipment, dirt could interfere with the process in such scales.
We used to run about 500 gallons of specially treated fresh water from long wash wands into the intakes our ATF3 turbo fans on our HU-25A Falcon ac in the Coast Guard after SAR missions, typically we'd fly about 200 to 500 feet above the waves out at sea looking for folks in the water. Lots of sea spray to wash out. We kept the engine somewhere above idle for about 5 minutes, I don't remember the specifics now. But it was kinda cool.
I subbed to your channel last week because of the variety of subjects that you cover. Plus because of the narrator's interesting voice tone & his humor in your videos. He is my main reason for subbing. I travelled a great deal for 30 years. Most of it by car & air. Audio books were important to me in my travels. The person "Voice" telling the story with any audio book either made it good or tossed in the trash can. Shalom
Not What You Think is an entertaining, informative, and high-quality channel, one of the best information channels on UA-cam. Every part of it, from the promotions to the commentary, is a finely-tuned mixture of humor and information. I only wish NWYT posted more often!
Was in Navy helo squadrons that flew from Frigate size ships. Besides the normal 14 day inspections that included washing the aircraft, we would do a quick engine wash after the last flight of the day and wipe down the aircraft with a cleaner/preservative. We didn't care too much about flying into rain, but it seemed that every ship captain never missed the chance for a fresh water washdown.
I love Narrator's dad jokes 😂 Regarding War Thunder, I came back to the game a few weeks ago, and I must say its a very fun game. For anyone who wants to start playing : be aware that the game can get very frustrating but, as long as you watch tutorials and pay attention to your planes' Battle Ranking, you should be fine. Also, due to recent rough economy changes, a sizeable chunk of the playerbase decided to review-bomb and boycott the game for some time
There's a ton of people saying washing/cleaning an aircraft is as easy as washing a car. They're either lying in denial or used machines to do almost all the work. Talk to any maintenance personnel for aircrafts; civilian or military. They will unanimously say that they're using five pieces of equipment all the time; soap, water, a full-body wetsuit, a bucket, and a sponge. It's by far in kilometers an easy job.
In the USAF I recall that plane washing was referred to as Corrosion Control 👍😎 And guys like me (462 weapons mechanic 🤣), were called b b stackers, gun plumbers, muzzle f ............ rs, and a few other things. Until Roger Ramjet had a problem with his boom booms 💥 Then when we fixed the problem, we enjoyed free beer from pilot Ramjet 👍🇺🇸
I was a pilot and maintenance officer in the USMC. We used to clean jet/turbine engines by putting walnut shells through the intake while running the engine.
Super neat video! I always assumed aircrafts needed to be washed but never really considered in detail what that would require to accomplish. Ive gained a serious appreciation for aircraft cleaning crews. Im super glad you're doing it because it clearly needs to be done and i definitely dont wanna do it🫡
I once cleaned a B747 as part of a large group of first year Aerospace Engineering students. This was a lustrum activity. We all used just washclothes. It was great fun. Some of the students were also cleaned unfoluntarily.
First thing. Amazing video on a important topic. Second thing. I want like a typical janitor with a mop just moping the wings :D Third thing. Welp. I enjoy war thunder. If it wasnt so addictive at a same time it would be perfect XD
I thought the most interesting fact in this video was at 21:16. I never knew train toilets just dumped dookie on the tracks! Now I wanna ride on a train just to see it in real life!
"worker ask for more pay, this mean that they need to increase the number of robots, there is no other choice" I'm sure there might be something else they could have done.
Likely machine costs verse human labor costs decide how much they are willing to pay. Quite a few labor jobs are being automated and with large language models it's creeping into the office world too. Value is provided nowadays by skills that cannot be automated which mostly involve reasoning, or finesse.
A clean aircraft saves 4% fuel not 2%. Most commercial aircraft are washed on a 30 day schedule. Foam cleaning chemicals only work on light oils and don't work on grease and oil streaks. Varsol is the best cleaning chemicals for the belly. The Nordic Dino was pulling a scam that you bought the machine, but their parts delivery was always inconsistent. What they wanted was to take over cleaning contracts, then they would fix the parts supply. This resulted in many lost union jobs.
PSA to those reading this: Please do not pour anything but water down aircraft sinks. With few exceptions that water goes to a drain mast where it is dumped overboard. This means im flight it will streak across the belly of the aircraft. In other words if your pour coffee grounds down the drains it will streak down the bottom of the plane staining it.
When you say $3/gallon for jet fuel, it was just for a number, right? It costs more then $3/ gallon of jet fuel, right? Otherwise I'm flying to work from now on
A quick search says $6-$7/gallon, or more depending on where you buy it (more like $11/gallon in Alaska). But you might also consider that a jet engine tends to gobble a lot more fuel than an automobile engine....
I've been assigned to wash rack for F-16s and let me tell you, that soap is some industrial strength nasty. It will eventually find its way into your suit and start causing pin and needles sensations alongside mild numbness in exposed areas. It's no good. Glad I don't bother with that anymore. P.S.: No one calls the F-16 the Fighting Falcon. It's been the Viper for as long as I can remember.
Minute 3:20... I don't know where they could buy AVIATION JET FUEL for $3 a gallon! USA average is $6.49 Savings on washing a jet would be: 3,000 hrs x 2,400 gallons/hr x $6.49= $467,280 NOT $216,000
Don't know much about history Don't know much biology Don't know much about a science book Don't know much about the French I took But I do know that I love you And I know that if you love me, too What a wonderful world this would be Don't know much about geography Don't know much trigonometry Don't know much about algebra Don't know what a slide rule is for But I do know one and one is two And if this one could be with you What a wonderful world this would be
When I was in the navy, because of the salt environment, I washed a ton of airplanes. But as an airline mechanic for a major airline for 35 years, they hardly ever washed their airplanes, and neither did the other airlines. They washed them before a major hanger check.
Not What You Think Air Force aircraft is cleaned from bottom to top, not top to bottom. Corrosion is a multi billion issue a year for the AF. If AFFF is used, you have to report it immediately to the sewer plant as it can some serious problems with their bacteria balance.
About the aircraft carriers. They navy needed a better environmental safe detergent to wash stuff and simple green was born. Simple green was created to meet the US Navy’s requirements for a safer detergent. Now about hand washing/waxing aircraft. In the 80’s I worked for Del Smith’s- Evergreen Aviation as a ground crew person /// and - affectionately known by us employees as Air - CIA 😂😂😂, ,,and one thing they where looking at back then was getting into no water needed a product that you wiped on then off of a airplane that washed and waxed in one step. A trial run was on a Boeing 727 and I tell you it took a hole crew I think 10 of us to do that plane in 5 hours ; it was not fun. Another story about emptying a planes waste tanks. I was asked to go and retrieve A planes flight bag-big leather case that had all the flight stuff in it by a A/P mechanic. The plane another Boeing 727 that was converted to haul freight, parked on the other side of the airport out in the hot summer sun for at least 24 hours. When I opened the door , WOW what a smell. I got the flight bag. When opening the door on that Boeing 727 the one and only toilet was located straight across from the fuselage door right behind the cockpit. When talking later with the A/P mechanic how everything went ; I said fine , I got the flight bag- but the aircraft sure stunk like a outhouse. His response was thanks for bring that up. I need to get the aircraft’s sewage tank pumped out so it doesn’t overflow, because the sewage tank is located above the aircraft’s avionics equipment. It would be a bad day if the toilet overflows over the avionics bay😂😂😂😂😂👍.
"An F-35 MUST stay....away from thunderstorms, or else its fuel tanks may ignite." Well, there ya go folks. Your tax dollars hard at wo....wait....WHAT?!?!? We spent HOW MUCH on a "next gen" fighter, and a lightning strike may ignite its FUEL TANKS!! Did the geniuses forget to design that feature out?! Tell me again why I'm paying taxes! 😠🙄
1:10 I suspect that if the US airforce and navy had girls in bikinis washing the aircraft, the number of people wanting to join the airforce and navy would increase substantially.

Not What You Think is an entertaining, informative, and high-quality channel, one of the best information channels on UA-cam. Every part of it, from the promotions to the commentary, is a finely-tuned mixture of humor and information. I only wish NWYT posted more often!

I can't imagine those cleaning robots going 4 years without needing some sort of deep maintenance or repairs
well then who cleans the cleaning robots? the cleaning cleaning robot robots?

Why not? Cars can go tens of thousands of miles without breaking down. If you do preventive maintenance of course.
@@1224chrisngthey just wire up a couple Roombas together for that.
Was in Navy helo squadrons that flew from Frigate size ships. Besides the normal 14 day inspections that included washing the aircraft, we would do a quick engine wash after the last flight of the day and wipe down the aircraft with a cleaner/preservative. We didn't care too much about flying into rain, but it seemed that every ship captain never missed the chance for a fresh water washdown.
“Looks like someone had corn for lunch” made worth watching all 20+ minutes of this video.
As part of Airframes c130 in the marine corps
i do not miss washing that aircraft especially inside the wheel well

I love Narrator's dad jokes 😂
Regarding War Thunder, I came back to the game a few weeks ago, and I must say its a very fun game.
For anyone who wants to start playing : be aware that the game can get very frustrating but, as long as you watch tutorials and pay attention to your planes' Battle Ranking, you should be fine.
Also, due to recent rough economy changes, a sizeable chunk of the playerbase decided to review-bomb and boycott the game for some time
Your fuel usage for a 737 is off by about 1800 gallons/hour
A possible source for such an error could be if the correct number is 2400 liter/h
2400 liters per hour sounds more like it, excluding takeoff and getting to cruise altitude
How much does it vary between different models?
But seriously... just use metric. It's better.
only vendors measure volume. Everyone else uses weight.
Mans can make a video about cleaning planes interesting he’s just that good.
My AeroMexico flight flew right over the Grand Canyon and Barringer Meteor Crater.
Damned shame the windows were so dirty...
There's a ton of people saying washing/cleaning an aircraft is as easy as washing a car. They're either lying in denial or used machines to do almost all the work.
Talk to any maintenance personnel for aircrafts; civilian or military. They will unanimously say that they're using five pieces of equipment all the time; soap, water, a full-body wetsuit, a bucket, and a sponge.
It's by far in kilometers an easy job.
Never knew planes also had to undergo this stage in their maintenance
Somebody should mail this video to Air France. Their planes look like they came out of a war zone, actually, Paris is burning,
In the USAF I recall that plane washing was referred to as Corrosion Control 👍😎 And guys like me (462 weapons mechanic 🤣), were called b b stackers, gun plumbers, muzzle f ............ rs, and a few other things. Until Roger Ramjet had a problem with his boom booms 💥 Then when we fixed the problem, we enjoyed free beer from pilot Ramjet 👍🇺🇸
20:40 "...even the toilets run on saltwater." Damn. Then it actually isn't potable?!

if it takes a whole shift and 10 workers to clean a boeing 777, how long would it have taken to clean the Antonov 225 (F in chat for the Mriya)

I did not just watch a video about CLEANING at 3 am and thought that was interesting...
Cant copyright AI, right?
After the plane is fueled, do they take his credit card through the cockpit window like in the movie, AIRPLANE? 😂
I was a pilot and maintenance officer in the USMC. We used to clean jet/turbine engines by putting walnut shells through the intake while running the engine.
Super neat video! I always assumed aircrafts needed to be washed but never really considered in detail what that would require to accomplish. Ive gained a serious appreciation for aircraft cleaning crews. Im super glad you're doing it because it clearly needs to be done and i definitely dont wanna do it🫡
"....assumed aircrafts needed...: Aircraft without the 's' describes both singular and plural.
do you drive a Mercedes?
"yeah, a white one and it has a poop on it"
The savings in fuel cost ($216,000 I think it was) would be reduced by the expensive labor cost as well as the cleaning equipment & supplies.
I once cleaned a B747 as part of a large group of first year Aerospace Engineering students. This was a lustrum activity. We all used just washclothes. It was great fun. Some of the students were also cleaned unfoluntarily.
It's just like having barnacles on a ship
First thing. Amazing video on a important topic. Second thing. I want like a typical janitor with a mop just moping the wings :D Third thing. Welp. I enjoy war thunder. If it wasnt so addictive at a same time it would be perfect XD
Third time the charm, this thumbnail + title finally peaked my curiosity.

We need more aircraft washing ASMR videos.
13:55 uhhh, no. There's isn't a build up from "bird strikes over time". Maybe bugs
I thought the most interesting fact in this video was at 21:16. I never knew train toilets just dumped dookie on the tracks! Now I wanna ride on a train just to see it in real life!
Where do I apply to become an aeroplane washer-upper?
Perfect! Now I can clean my Boeing 757 at home!
"worker ask for more pay, this mean that they need to increase the number of robots, there is no other choice"
I'm sure there might be something else they could have done.
Likely machine costs verse human labor costs decide how much they are willing to pay. Quite a few labor jobs are being automated and with large language models it's creeping into the office world too. Value is provided nowadays by skills that cannot be automated which mostly involve reasoning, or finesse.
A clean aircraft saves 4% fuel not 2%. Most commercial aircraft are washed on a 30 day schedule. Foam cleaning chemicals only work on light oils and don't work on grease and oil streaks. Varsol is the best cleaning chemicals for the belly.
The Nordic Dino was pulling a scam that you bought the machine, but their parts delivery was always inconsistent. What they wanted was to take over cleaning contracts, then they would fix the parts supply. This resulted in many lost union jobs.
PSA to those reading this: Please do not pour anything but water down aircraft sinks. With few exceptions that water goes to a drain mast where it is dumped overboard. This means im flight it will streak across the belly of the aircraft. In other words if your pour coffee grounds down the drains it will streak down the bottom of the plane staining it.
When you say $3/gallon for jet fuel, it was just for a number, right? It costs more then $3/ gallon of jet fuel, right? Otherwise I'm flying to work from now on
A quick search says $6-$7/gallon, or more depending on where you buy it (more like $11/gallon in Alaska). But you might also consider that a jet engine tends to gobble a lot more fuel than an automobile engine....
I've been assigned to wash rack for F-16s and let me tell you, that soap is some industrial strength nasty.
It will eventually find its way into your suit and start causing pin and needles sensations alongside mild numbness in exposed areas. It's no good.
Glad I don't bother with that anymore.
P.S.: No one calls the F-16 the Fighting Falcon. It's been the Viper for as long as I can remember.
Did anybody notice how much dirt and grim had accumulated on the cleaning robots skin @8:35 into video approximately... lol
the transitions are always gold here.
As someone who has a side business washing semi-trucks, I found this fascinating.
R/C power to weight is just so awesome. Love the 3d flying!
Minute 3:20... I don't know where they could buy AVIATION JET FUEL for $3 a gallon!
USA average is $6.49
Savings on washing a jet would be: 3,000 hrs x 2,400 gallons/hr x $6.49= $467,280
NOT $216,000
17:09 this was a funny story, but also pretty serious.

Washing is also yet another opportunity to detect maintenance issues - manual washing at least.
Very much agree

that guy SHOULD NOT be hauling that safety ladder in the back like that & yes I'm speaking from experience
bro i was eating my cereal and then the talk of perople stuffing things into the seat pockets made me lose my appetite.
When I was in the navy, because of the salt environment, I washed a ton of airplanes. But as an airline mechanic for a major airline for 35 years, they hardly ever washed their airplanes, and neither did the other airlines. They washed them before a major hanger check.
Ive had worthiness for 1 year now. I think ill be fine with my 2 fully researched air tree for Russia and isreal.
Outstanding work and research. Very accurate. Thank you.
I was eating when the Honey Truck subject came into my screen 😅
I just finished a course in Corrossion and Cleaning. Very important
We drive Mercedes to empty poop tanks and Lamborghinis to plow fields.
Not What You Think
Air Force aircraft is cleaned from bottom to top, not top to bottom. Corrosion is a multi billion issue a year for the AF.
If AFFF is used, you have to report it immediately to the sewer plant as it can some serious problems with their bacteria balance.
Hmm so the ekranoplane gets cleaned like a plane or a ship
Bro you’re being paid by the robot washer companies 😂
i wish!
*That GTR getting a Holy Wash* 🐴
About the aircraft carriers. They navy needed a better environmental safe detergent to wash stuff and simple green was born. Simple green was created to meet the US Navy’s requirements for a safer detergent. Now about hand washing/waxing aircraft. In the 80’s I worked for Del Smith’s- Evergreen Aviation as a ground crew person /// and - affectionately known by us employees as Air - CIA 😂😂😂, ,,and one thing they where looking at back then was getting into no water needed a product that you wiped on then off of a airplane that washed and waxed in one step. A trial run was on a Boeing 727 and I tell you it took a hole crew I think 10 of us to do that plane in 5 hours ; it was not fun. Another story about emptying a planes waste tanks. I was asked to go and retrieve A planes flight bag-big leather case that had all the flight stuff in it by a A/P mechanic. The plane another Boeing 727 that was converted to haul freight, parked on the other side of the airport out in the hot summer sun for at least 24 hours. When I opened the door , WOW what a smell. I got the flight bag. When opening the door on that Boeing 727 the one and only toilet was located straight across from the fuselage door right behind the cockpit. When talking later with the A/P mechanic how everything went ; I said fine , I got the flight bag- but the aircraft sure stunk like a outhouse. His response was thanks for bring that up. I need to get the aircraft’s sewage tank pumped out so it doesn’t overflow, because the sewage tank is located above the aircraft’s avionics equipment. It would be a bad day if the toilet overflows over the avionics bay😂😂😂😂😂👍.
Can't forget about the HOT RUBBER kicked up onto the plane belly from the tires "peeling out" upon landing 🛬😊
Great job for aviation lovers
O man you missed it! !15:57, instead of "an unexpected ingredient", shoulda said "an experimental biofuel".
Great video.
The water salute is just plain dumb, or plane dumb.
Otherwise it was great to watch how the planes are maintained and cleaned.
👍
Maybe Mike Rowe from the show ‘Dirty Jobs’ could try his hand at cleaning an aircraft.
Great video! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
As someone who used to work, dry washing aircraft, I can confirm that it definitely does suck
Former Boeing Everett... love the great dry humor.
😂😂 he really just said "Robotic labor"
"An F-35 MUST stay....away from thunderstorms, or else its fuel tanks may ignite."
Well, there ya go folks. Your tax dollars hard at wo....wait....WHAT?!?!?
We spent HOW MUCH on a "next gen" fighter, and a lightning strike may ignite its FUEL TANKS!! Did the geniuses forget to design that feature out?!
Tell me again why I'm paying taxes! 😠🙄
From Every 7 Days to 4 days per year? Hate when the headline is totally wrong... no like from me

Thanks for this video. I always wondered how they wash a 747.
This man has the gift of making a 10 second answer into a 22 minute waterboarding video. No thanks.
1:10 I suspect that if the US airforce and navy had girls in bikinis washing the aircraft, the number of people wanting to join the airforce and navy would increase substantially.
