Considering the circumstances, the cameraman in the first video did an unbelievably good job not only capturing the airplane spinning out of control, but still managed to 'fly' back to his group mid air.
If I remember this story properly, it was the divers fault this happened as they all piled out at once and caused the plane to stall by increasing drag at such a slow speed.
Coming from a student pilot about to take the final test... the skydivers all shifting to the rear of the plane caused the center of gravity of the aircraft to shift too far to the rear (outside of CG limits). This prevented the pilot from being able to push the nose of the aircraft down, which resulted in the aircraft exceeding the critical angle of attack (nose pointed up too high for wings to generate lift), which resulted in a stall. The pilot then pulled back too early on his way down, resulting in a secondary stall.
Dad was a Navy pilot (‘43-‘68). I have a picture of him sitting in front of a bi-plane and also a fighter jet. He appreciated the training and skill of the pilots of the Blue Angels.
"Sempre Fortis", "Hooyah", Navy Strong 💪🇺🇲. My thanks to your Dad for his service 🙏. My only child did 6 years Navy. I had several opportunities to see both Blue Angels and Thunderbirds on site in the 60's and 70's. There is no other experience like it!
The speed at which the stalled plane corkscrewed back underneath the divers and fell out of view really tells you how quickly these things can become life or death scenarios.
If I recall correctly, the sky diving plane at the start of the video did not suffer engine problems - more of a pilot problem. He reduced his airspeed too much and stalled the aircraft - not the engines. Luckily he had plenty of altitude in which to recover from the stall - something the pilot would have trained for. They sky divers were lucky not to be hit by the aircraft.
Partly true because the airspeed slowed below stall speed, but the main cause was the divers moving to the rear of the plane, causing the center of gravity go outside of limits, resulting in the pilot being unable to push the nose forward/down, causing the wings to exceed the critical angle of attack, resulting in a pretty nasty stall. That being said, the safety of the flight is the pilot's responsibility at the end of the day.
Flying skydivers is a tricky business, where at the moment of jump the speed is low, and the limits of tge c&g are often exceeded.. It must have scared the pilot quite a lot, necause it is completely out of envelope,and could have resulted in break up, with these flaps extended..
The plane rolled and tossed the jumpers off. I wondered if that was a consequence of the stall or whether the pilot did that before dropping down to try to jumpstart the engine?
The pilot would regularly overload the aircraft so his CG and W/B was out of whack. When everyone moved to the back of the aircraft to jump out it's nearly impossible to lower the angle of attack, it was exceeded, he stalled and spinned. It wasn't intentional, you don't intentionally spin an aircraft under those circumstances, extremely dangerous. I believe after recovering he also got into a secondary spin as well, but that could have been a different King Air spin incident.
6:40 No, it was the pilot's fault - he ultimately took the decision to follow the instruction from some random dude on the ground waving his arm around instead of trusting his own instinct and professional training. "Hey bud, just stick it over there, it's ok I've had a lot of experience directing cars on the ground".
There are some incorrect details at Budapest part. The pilots didn’t want to see how close they can fly to the river. They had strict permits how low they can get. From this angle it seemed the plane was meters above the bridges, however it flown much higher. Of course, it was much lower than in a usual flight. I thin this is the same plane from 8:54 ua-cam.com/video/y_HgLScL4r8/v-deo.html There were occasions when planes or even helicopters flown under the bridges, but nowadays it is not permitted.
6:45 no, it wasn't. It's always the pilot's responsibility. A random guy waving him off on the ground has nothing to say and no responsibility in case something happens.
Bruh, it was the pilots fault this happened to begin with. He overloaded the aircraft and let everyone pile to the back at once. This is what caused the initial stall and ultimately the spin.
To be fair from a pilots point of view the cables are almost invisible ... but still completely and utterly incompetent ! . He/she should if known where they were landing ahead of time . . . . He she they them it lgbtqt+!++ or whatever other genders they have nowadays 🤷♂️🤦♂️🤪👈
Controls are NOT REVERSED when flying upside down. From the pilots perspective the control stick moves the nose of the aircraft the exact same way. Controls are reversed for an RC pilot on the ground when flying an RC aircraft.
The pitch control is not reversed if the pilot flies with reference to the lead airplane only, but is reversed if he flies with reference to the horizon, which he needs to do on breaking up the formation.
Idk anyone that asks "am i going up or down if i push the stick forward?" The nose is going down if you push forward. Your instinct for not pancaking into the ground tells you whether or not you're gaining altitude.
These videos are amazing, too bad they are so interesting that it can have you searching for more incredible videos like this all day and before you know it you done spent hrs looking through these epic videos.
I wish I could hear from those amazing pilots tell their extraordinary stories !!!! Wow that what we call skills !!!! As well as the cameramen what an amazing skills they have !!!!!😀
great video, we live 40 miles from cosford, and went to the very last airshow there in june 2023. Also, we have flown into Skiathos, and can attest to it being a short, scary runway. The pilots need every inch to get airborne. No runoff area either! Just rocks and sea
Um...he never implied it was? First, he said "Near Area 51". Second of all, on the map that was shown, the red marker (which indicates where this took place at or near) was clearly situated in Nevada. You could even see the dots that signify as the state border that the marker was within Nevada.
i love our Snowbirds, but I do get super excited when i see a confirmed Blue Angel appearance at our shows up here. when they show together it is just magic. love it. worth the commute
@@evaluateanalysis7974 I totally disagree. They are a fabric flying machine that has one control - a giant flame. To many people have ended their lives in a burning basket and the number of injuries due to the uncontrollable nature of landing is way to high. The last disaster we had in my country the pilot smoked a "joint" prior to lift off. And we have a highly regulated aviation sector. Don't do it.
That last one is reminiscent of "The Spruce Goose" by Howard Hughes & Henry Kaiser. It flew once for about 40 seconds. That was 77 years ago. The innovations in aeronautics have come a long way.
7:40 I used to drive a chase van for a balloonist. At this point in the video you can start to hear how much the wind is blowing. This was way too much wind for a balloon ride and the pilot should have known that. Even if he had safely cleared the building, that wind would still have been blowing when their propane tank grew low and they would be forced to try and land at that speed. Best case, the basket occupants would have been dumped out when the basket hit the ground. Worst case, they would have slammed into ANOTHER building or tree without seat belts to keep them in the basket.
That King Air pilot let the airspeed get too low, not engine problems. The additional drag of the skydivers caused the aerodynamic stall to occur. You can see at the last few seconds before the break the nose pitch up causing the stall to fully develop.
The divers shifted the CG out of limits, causing the pitch up. Airspeed can't be maintained if elevator loses control authority over the pitch up movement
2:31 I wonder if the other three remaining jumpers were like, "Hey, we gotta wait to see if the pilot can get the plane flying again. If he can't, he'll have to jump with one of us." And that guy is like, "Well, he doesn't need all of us. Byeeeeeeeeeee!" I woulda. I woulda done that.
The Blossom video airplane did not have engine trouble. The airplane slowed for all to get off, and all the weight running to the back of the plane messed up the center of balance, raising the nose, and causing a stall. The left wing stalled first, and resulted in a spin. If you notice, the airplane did not recover immediately, as the rattled pilot did not snap his yoke forward to bump out of the spin. He did recover almost immediately after that though, and everyone was better for the experience.
Trivia: Russian ejection seats are well known for being so crude and violent that they break your back when you punch out. That's why many pilots like to ride it in. It's not guts, it's fear.
1:38 - purely speculation at this point, but I am nearly certain that the engines weren't generating enough energy, at that altitude, to overcome the drag of six adult bodies on the port side of the fuselage in which TWO of the forward individuals could very easily have been spoiling airflow over the port side airfoil (wing). As such, the shift in that much weight all the way to port, may have had a hand in, if not been the cause of, the severe roll to port inducing a sudden stall. Combine this with the pilot's POSSIBLE (not confirmed) negligence to adjust the trim to accommodate the severe shift in weight (from balanced to port-side heavy), as well as what looks like sheer and cross winds at altitude.. Just a thought.
You are overcomplicating it with layers and layers of speculation. The pilot simply let it get too slow. There is ample aileron control, and you could turn both engines off and still have control of airspeed and roll, you do not let it get too slow. There may have been some amount of elevator and/or rudder blanking. It was pure pilot error
@@jayc4283 I agree with pilot error, since he/she is ultimately in control - however, there are factors outside of that - such as the massive build-up of weight. That's like, almost, 1000lbs of human all on one side of an aircraft that may not be configured for it. But I agree.
@@GuildofThunder The airplane was still wings-level even with the weight on one side. So there was adequate aileron authority. Trimming would not have changed anything, merely relieved the pilot from having to maintain a control force on the yoke. Also, cross wind is no factor when the airplane is not about to touch down. And all the jumpers were aft of the wing and would have little to no affect on the airflow at the wing. The open door and jumpers protruding into the airstream would have increased drag substantially, maybe not beyond the engines' capability but more than the pilot anticipated.
@@petep.2092 Ill go with that, but I would say, however...without seeing the attitude indicator (artificial horizon) we cant be 100% sure the wings were level. Though, with that said, ill say chances are good they were (wings level) since they were evacuating jumpers. So...I can see your point quite clearly. All in all, its still 'epic' that the pilot was able to recover all the same.
The balance was shifted too far aft (rear) when all the passengers moved to the rear door. Pilot could not control the pitch of the aircraft after the center of gravity went outside of limits, resulting in a pitch up movement, resulting in airspeed decay, exceeding critical angle of attack, and stall. The left wing stalled first which is common on small aircraft with certain engine configurations and more weight on the left contributed most likely, but the main problem was too much weight too far aft. The airspeed was slow to begin with - as you can see his flaps are out at the start of the video
SO many mistakes and misspeaks but for the Blue Angels, when an airplane is flying inverted, "all your controls" are NOT reversed and from the pilot's perspective, none of them are. And for that maneuver, I'm pretty sure they're not flying anywhere close to the speed of sound or 700 mph.
The pitch control is not reversed if the pilot flies with reference to the lead airplane only, but is reversed if he flies with reference to the horizon, which he needs to do on breaking up the formation.
Looks to me like the jump plane did this for fun, notice the horizon is level or slightly nose down, then pulls up for a stall, they all jump and the pilot stomps the rudder for a nice controlled spin, great fun!
There courage and sacrifice is an indelible example of the human spirit in the quest to reach for the stars and to explore the unknown to expand the horizons of all of us, we are all in there debt
9:03 - *chorus of No's again*. You can effing HEAR IT. It was WAYYYYY to windy to pop smoke in a balloon. Pilot should've grounded the balloon until the wind passed or rescheduled for "wind calm".
1. The Blue Angels are flying normal Hornets, not Super Hornets. 2. The guy in the Reno Air Race vid wasn´t clipped by another pilot, he clipped the other guy (both planes facing same direction, it´s hard to crash into somebody when that somebody is coming up from behind).
They fly the F/A-18 E and F SuperHornets which they started flying operationally in 2021, the teams 75th anniversary. The only US enitity flying the Legacy Hornets is the USMC and only from land based runways, no more carrier ops.
In the first video I do not think that the aircraft stalled because of an engine failure, I would rather presume, the aircraft was already slow (Flaps down) and close to its high stalling speed at that hight of an altitude. Add the drag of all the jumpers hanging on the outside, this could have slowed the aircraft down so much, that the engine could not compensate, plus the distorted airflow to the elevator (and rudder) may have had a additional impact. Looks like the pilot got into a couple of secondary stalls (and spins) before recovering. Good thing the pilot didn`t hit any of the divers during recovery, I am sure he/she was quite busy with other things lol. Hope they plan this maneouver better next time.
It was adorable hearing an American pronunciation of the “mAh-trick” dance! Hahahah! This made me very happy, it’s actually more like “muh-TRICK” with the last part of the word emphasised... not that you’ll ever need that information again
@@imana3808 sorry.. I just realized you’re an attached account for the guys that stole the video originally. You know the people that understand how UA-cam works can find your fake accounts, right.
8:13 random fact, military officers used to ride in hot air balloons over the soldiers and area. Several crashed and several officers died from the crashes and falling out, due to that someone invented the parachute. If I remember correctly, they became popular during WW2.
It's probably poor choice of words. When you are upside down and say above a plane below you and want to peel away upwards, the pilot will need to push the stick for 'down' to go up because the aircraft is down and then right himself. So controls aren't reversed, but pilot has to consciously choose reverse of what he would do if he were right side up.
If you're flying upside down, and you want to move down relative to your pov, the controls are the exact same. No one flies from a 3rd person view behind their airplane except arcade gamers.
In the first one with the skydivers you said at the end they reported the incident to the proper authorities. What did they report…they soiled themselves??😂
Here in South Africa if you are a paraglider or skydiver and there was an irregularity during a jump/flight that could have caused a greater accident you have to report it to the CAA (Civil Aviation Association) failing to do so and a bystander makes a call could cost you, your licence. So what happened here at Mossel Bay was that the pilot had an intermittent prop torque issue he was still monitoring, nothing severe enough to warrant scrubbing the jump when the right-handed prop violently feathered itself, throwing the plane and the jumpers. The pilot landed safely, the last jumper was thrown out the open door because he couldn't hold on any longer and bailed. On the ground, the pilot got all the jumper's details, and they made a collective report to the CAA. Cause... Mechanical failure due to part defect. Nobody was held liable.
@@johnellisonarmadilloconstr7966 Well, they were up at 16,000 ft. and in good condition. What do you think they should have done instead of "stupid little tricks and shit?" and why?
The Vampire wasn't taking off at the Cosford airshow it took off from Halfpenny green airport about 5 miles south it's mainly used for small light aircraft
Considering the circumstances, the cameraman in the first video did an unbelievably good job not only capturing the airplane spinning out of control, but still managed to 'fly' back to his group mid air.
16000 feet is pretty high for a regular skydive, usually its closer to 12-14K feet, so he had plenty of time to regroup..
I watched the dropping plane again , and indeed , awesome actioncam!!.
The tricks while their plane just drops almost to 0
If I remember this story properly, it was the divers fault this happened as they all piled out at once and caused the plane to stall by increasing drag at such a slow speed.

The pilot then pulled back too early on his way down, resulting in a secondary stall.
but he helped cause this stall along with all the others causing drag and clumping up when they should have jumped clear then the next junmp clear

All in all, its still 'epic' that the pilot was able to recover all the same.
The balance was shifted too far aft (rear) when all the passengers moved to the rear door. Pilot could not control the pitch of the aircraft after the center of gravity went outside of limits, resulting in a pitch up movement, resulting in airspeed decay, exceeding critical angle of attack, and stall. The left wing stalled first which is common on small aircraft with certain engine configurations and more weight on the left contributed most likely, but the main problem was too much weight too far aft.
The airspeed was slow to begin with - as you can see his flaps are out at the start of the video
the pilot in the first video is a fuckin legend
Only bad thing about this video is the commentator confidently gets so much information wrong.
Good examples of why i don't skydive or take balloon rides !!
SO many mistakes and misspeaks but for the Blue Angels, when an airplane is flying inverted, "all your controls" are NOT reversed and from the pilot's perspective, none of them are. And for that maneuver, I'm pretty sure they're not flying anywhere close to the speed of sound or 700 mph.
The pitch control is not reversed if the pilot flies with reference to the lead airplane only, but is reversed if he flies with reference to the horizon, which he needs to do on breaking up the formation.
10:05 The GPWS yelling at the pilots
"Pull up! Terrain ahead! Pull up! Terrain! Pull up! Terrain!"
3:00 I Live in Belleville IL OMG!
Love me some Blue Angels.
Looks to me like the jump plane did this for fun, notice the horizon is level or slightly nose down, then pulls up for a stall, they all jump and the pilot stomps the rudder for a nice controlled spin, great fun!

Wow 😮
There courage and sacrifice is an indelible example of the human spirit in the quest to reach for the stars and to explore the unknown to expand the horizons of all of us, we are all in there debt
Just like the national debt
I can’t believe the pilot recovered in sky diving wow
8:30 😀 all "professionals" at work.. including the cameraman, who's filming the sky..
Bulgaria, Budapest, same thing.
come on man give me a break that ballon deflating was the least scary part
Why is there always some bystander screaming bloody murder?
9:03 - *chorus of No's again*. You can effing HEAR IT. It was WAYYYYY to windy to pop smoke in a balloon. Pilot should've grounded the balloon until the wind passed or rescheduled for "wind calm".
1. The Blue Angels are flying normal Hornets, not Super Hornets.
2. The guy in the Reno Air Race vid wasn´t clipped by another pilot, he clipped the other guy (both planes facing same direction, it´s hard to crash into somebody when that somebody is coming up from behind).
They fly the F/A-18 E and F SuperHornets which they started flying operationally in 2021, the teams 75th anniversary. The only US enitity flying the Legacy Hornets is the USMC and only from land based runways, no more carrier ops.
In the first video I do not think that the aircraft stalled because of an engine failure, I would rather presume, the aircraft was already slow (Flaps down) and close to its high stalling speed at that hight of an altitude. Add the drag of all the jumpers hanging on the outside, this could have slowed the aircraft down so much, that the engine could not compensate, plus the distorted airflow to the elevator (and rudder) may have had a additional impact. Looks like the pilot got into a couple of secondary stalls (and spins) before recovering. Good thing the pilot didn`t hit any of the divers during recovery, I am sure he/she was quite busy with other things lol. Hope they plan this maneouver better next time.
The documentary delves into the psychological impact of witnessing the most unbelievable moments caught on camera
Did he just say Budapest was in Bulgaria
Always check the force and direction of the wind when you go on a ballon trip.
Very first sentence is wrong "From a adaredevil in Bulgaria..." That was Budapest.
The balloon pilot attempted to launch in high winds.
It was adorable hearing an American pronunciation of the “mAh-trick” dance! Hahahah! This made me very happy, it’s actually more like “muh-TRICK” with the last part of the word emphasised... not that you’ll ever need that information again
Its cool that "underworld" put their watermark on all the video they stole from others.
Maybe because they edit it? Use your brain?
@@imana3808 I think your copyright lawyer just threw up. The fact that you wrote that shows your ignorance.
@@imana3808 sorry.. I just realized you’re an attached account for the guys that stole the video originally. You know the people that understand how UA-cam works can find your fake accounts, right.
@@wcolby fake accounts? Buddy I make my own content. And it gets way more attention than your attention seeking ass
They should of modified the car with wings and glided the car through the sky! That would of been much cooler
8:13 random fact, military officers used to ride in hot air balloons over the soldiers and area. Several crashed and several officers died from the crashes and falling out, due to that someone invented the parachute. If I remember correctly, they became popular during WW2.
The Trump 2020 car ended up like the real campaign.
And now the whole country is crashing with Biden at the wheel.
🤣🤣😂😂
Stolen?
🤡 now our country is laughed at and we’re on the brink of WW3
@@shamusomalley4263 idiot.
Controls aren't reversed when you are inverted.
It's probably poor choice of words. When you are upside down and say above a plane below you and want to peel away upwards, the pilot will need to push the stick for 'down' to go up because the aircraft is down and then right himself. So controls aren't reversed, but pilot has to consciously choose reverse of what he would do if he were right side up.
If you're flying upside down, and you want to move down relative to your pov, the controls are the exact same. No one flies from a 3rd person view behind their airplane except arcade gamers.
In the first one with the skydivers you said at the end they reported the incident to the proper authorities. What did they report…they soiled themselves??😂
Here in South Africa if you are a paraglider or skydiver and there was an irregularity during a jump/flight that could have caused a greater accident you have to report it to the CAA (Civil Aviation Association) failing to do so and a bystander makes a call could cost you, your licence. So what happened here at Mossel Bay was that the pilot had an intermittent prop torque issue he was still monitoring, nothing severe enough to warrant scrubbing the jump when the right-handed prop violently feathered itself, throwing the plane and the jumpers. The pilot landed safely, the last jumper was thrown out the open door because he couldn't hold on any longer and bailed. On the ground, the pilot got all the jumper's details, and they made a collective report to the CAA.
Cause... Mechanical failure due to part defect. Nobody was held liable.
Maybe they called a Code Brown!
If there's anything that goes wrong on a plane it needs to be reported to the FAA or there will be huge fines
Hey we just saw our pilot and friends nose dive and disappeared into the clouds. Probably all dead… let’s still do our stupid little tricks and shit.
@@johnellisonarmadilloconstr7966 Well, they were up at 16,000 ft. and in good condition. What do you think they should have done instead of "stupid little tricks and shit?" and why?
The Vampire wasn't taking off at the Cosford airshow it took off from Halfpenny green airport about 5 miles south it's mainly used for small light aircraft
That car went down as fast as its namesake
Came here to say the same thing
If they were to do the stunt again, it would have to say Biden 2024. 😂😂😂
Your TDS will keep you warm for years to come
10:14 GPWS was like TERRAIN TERRAIN PULL UP DON'T SINK
But wouldnt the lowered gear prevent that alarm?
OMG! @17:05 just magic.
Proof positive the earth is round...😂😂😂
Go Blue Angels
The negligence of the hot air balloon group almost cost them their lives. You can HEAR the wind swirling over the camera feed, ffs!!
the air balloon crash: "who that knocking at my door?"
3:23 - How on this green earth do you eject *AND* land safely? Especially with that big a fire ball!
The ejected pilots fell safely he meant
Please never change the tone of your videos when counting down.
