C130 pilot looking like he couldn't be more chill doing that job. Respect to those fire fighting planes. There's a recent clip going around of a DC10 dropping water on the fires really low it's nuts.
like some youtube commercial aviator said. You don't need balls to fly an airplane full of lives. You do what's within your skill limit. A pilot admitting doing ballsy moves with passengers just means he's recklessly endangering people.
That's because he knows the plane and can fly it right on the edge. Stall warnings tend to be overly conservative because they are designed to warn people who don't know how close they are to stalling. I have tremendous respect for anyone who fights fires in an airplane. It is incredibly dangerous. You're basically doing all the things your flight instructor tells you not to do on day 1. There is no room for error.
There's a short somewhere of the DC10 side slipping round a hill to line up his drop run. Big cojones! It's not just knowing what the plane will do, it's knowing what you can get away with!
I am so glad to have no connection with Birmingham. If I ever have to go there, I will happily walk or take an ox cart. I am sure I will not fly into that windy airport.
I am always amazes me how you come up with so many videos I have never seen. I subscribe to dozens of aviation channels. Mentour, Juan, Kelsey, Hoover, Gryder…etc.
@@MeppyManit’s weird, a lot of people don’t seem to like him. It’s not that I don’t like him, just that I get bored watching him so I don’t even bother starting a video of his.
The whole fleet looks like that. Five different colors plus one charity color for a campaign against breast cancer. This „Beach“ color is only used for the long haul planes, but there‘s more than one that looks like that.
That Condor wasn’t even close to exceeding it’s bank angle limit. Fun fact: in normal law the airbus will not let you exceed 30 degrees of bank. You can put the control stick full left or right, and the plane will say: nope, this is as far as I’m going.
When allied countries departing from Australian military bases used to always do the ‘wave’. We would all stop for a moment just to watch them ‘dip their wings’ on either sides that was a sign that they appreciated our military 🥰👏🏼❤️
i tell my kids that the airplane up way so high is like the school, the entire thing, flying at 500 mph. i tell that they can do it, easily. they can pilot, manufacture, sell, maintain, buy, draw, paint, engineer, invent and etc. airplanes, too. that if We can make buildings fly to the Moon, then anything is achievable. over time, they start to understand how amazing it is to get a building to fly. and land. regularly. safely. and i hope they grow up to take on and overcome life challenges like these pilots handle 40 kn crosswinds!!!
It does sound like that, but I have a hard time believing they would intentionally fly that close to stalling that close to the ground while on these fire runs. Could it be a different warning? The "altitude" warning makes sense.
@@MeppyManthey probably have some circuit breakers pulled to fool the system. It’s likely they want full flaps, but have the gear up. Which would give all kinds of warnings. So they probably pull circuit breakers so that the airplane doesn’t know they are using full flaps and the stall warning is set to go off sooner. I’m not saying that’s the case, but I know that the outfit with the DC10 has been asking the FAA to make drops with gear up and full flaps, but the FAA won’t allow that, since it would mean they don’t have proper stall barrier protection. (The fire retardant is very corrosive to the main gear).
@ Michael- Yeah, I get it. Quite likely there was a very legitimate reason for doing those turns, and they did it safely. I was just making a joke, with no intentions of being critical. Please take it as a joke.. like those talking dog videos we all see on UA-cam. We never take them literally… hopefully. We laugh instead of criticize that the dog with his mouth moving wasn’t what was interpreted by a human voice.
@ What are you on about? I was referring to the opening scene of Airplane. Surely that wasn't too obscure a reference? No it wasn't. And don't call me Shirley.
Well yeah there are no physical limits but I’m sure that cockpit will be screaming “bank angle” at you if you do such manoeuvres, not really normal either, not even the Boeing 747s at Kai tak airport exceeded the “bank angle” limit. No it’s bullshit you’re talking about
They are there. And so are the 747s. But to be fair, the amphibious airplanes that simply drop, fly to the ocean, pick up another load of water, they can drop a lot more in an hour. The DC-10 and 747 etc, they have to return to an airport every time and be reloaded with pumps.
The `wing-wave` was definitely excessive, but at least the plane was empty of passengers. It`s a fine line at those angles at such a low speed & altitude, I`d suggest a silly manoeuvre at best.
Delivery flights are considered 'high risk' flights because pilots tend to relax, fool around or do things they normally wouldn't. There've been a number of accidents during such flights.
It was an extreme wing wave for sure, but it didn't exceed the bank angle limit of the aircraft, which is indicated by the fact that it didn't stall and fall out of the sky.
Lol, United sent a plane with a mismatched engine cowling panel to a major airshow? I mean, it's not a big deal, right? The plane and engine both work perfectly fine, but appearance-wise, that's very noticeable.
One has to wonder why the 777 had so much snow on it in the first place. Herc pilot was fairly impressive, you have to fly mighty low to be effective at dropping anti-fire chemicals (or water) on a fire with any accuracy and low dispersal.
Interesting to see a view from a firefighting aircraft. On this note: I don't think I've seen a single video of one following a lead plane, and I was a bit surprised by this. I remember seeing many photos or videos showing them in other California fires marking the drop area with a puff of smoke to help make it more precise. These aren't used to lead helicopters of course, but is there a reason they're not being used around LA right now? I realize there are a whole bunch of challenges with the wind for example, but it wasn't clear to me if this was the cause or if there was another reason why they didn't seem to be used for these fires.
Maybe you can't see the small plane because the footage from the planes is mainly filmed with a wide angle lens. This shrinks everything in the distance. Footage from the ground is filmed with long focal lenght. And this tends to shrink the distance between objects (Just think of racing cars in the starting lane).
@@kameramaenner Hmm I get your point but wouldn't just assume there was no lead just because the angle doesn't show it. From the ones I've seen, even when there was a wide view of the sky there didn't seem to be a lead. It's certainly possible they _are_ used, and I somehow haven't seen videos of them yet.
As far as that cover photo.... I think that below 100 ft agl flight envelope protections are different because that is the landing envelope. The plane is going to let you do what you need to land.
@@markfox1545Sorry, ret Captain here, but all US commercial airports do have flat runways. US carriers must calculate performance factors based on weight, temp, pressure altitude. If you can identify an US commercial airport with surface deviations such as this one, would please name the airport and runway? Thanks.
Anyone know if its possible to do a full barrel roll like the plane in that low position in the first clip? Could it be done in an A380? That would be awesome.
I _think_ Mentour has a video where he does a barrel roll with a commercial airliner (only in the simulator, of course 🤪), but not at low altitude. Still _pretty_ impressive! 😲 EDIT: found it => /watch?v=JhzaogGQNFU, at about 18:30
@1:32 I've never seen a jet start with all that unburnt fuel. Also the intake has a bunch of snow or ice in it. If that is ice, it could fod out the engine
@@RoyalMela Titanium, ceramics and high nickel alloys don't need a protective layer of oil. Those engine come back from overhaul ($3m) pristine and sterile. They are also test run.
The 777-300ER, why are the take offs in North America so steep ? I was in Colombia and it seems like the takes offs are more stretched out and not so steep. You don’t get that sinking feeling.
1:54 I was on a flight that landed like this. And I was the only one on the plane freaking out. Everyone else was calm. Why? 45 mph cross winds. So bad it was blowing my car around the road on the drive home from the airport.
Longitudal stripes - more speed, transversal stripes - more bank. Everyone knows that.
So basically, stripes = the coolest. Got it. Time for re-painting my minivan.
Looks like a stripy sock!
Do these stripes make me look fat?
@@rockets4kids
No.
It’s the adipose tissue.
No, transversal stripes make you more fat (we all know it from fashion), so it allows for more pax per flight.
