First Time Aerobatics Reaction
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 чер 2016
- Thought I'd share a video of a friend who I took flying for the first time. She certainly enjoyed doing aeros and it proved to be a fun experience for all! An update to the description following popular questions on the comments section. The aircraft is a Slingsby T67C 'Firefly', being operated out of a private airfield in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom.
0:58 fastest take-off in the history of aviation.
🤣
That's some UFO kinda s**t.
Thanks for all the comments guys! It certainly worked as we're gonna get married next year!
Lol. Hope she has gotten used to it!
Atta-boy!!! I took my wife flying on our first date... Worked like a charm.
Certainly has worked. I've been busy getting hands on flying a B757 for the last year. But this summer I'm certainly going back in and I'm sure she'll join me 😁!
gsps89 Congrats!
Congrats!
Ha. Her laughter turned to a smile. The smile turned to a vague smile. That morphed into pursed lips and finally finished up with a ‘Get me back on the ground!’ expression.
This would be the ONLY time that you'd hear the words
"Don't grab my stick" come out of a guys mouth. 👊
Excellent video.
Those words didn't come out of my mouth 😂 thanks mate!
Lmao, I see what you did there
Might not want to grab the pilot's arm when he is using it to fly the plane. :)
Mike B yeah lol that's why he looked at her like wtf you doing
Mike B, she could have grabbed his shaft instead and he would have performed aerobatics much better.
Pradeep He also could've helped her a bit by pitching it up and down all the time
That usually ends up with the pilot ejecting.
That’s the dumbest thing to do
1:58.., 1st rule when sitting beside a pilot, Dont grab his arms whilst he's holding the stick.
@Diego Armando No, I dont.
She was definitely a lot calmer by the end I'd say. Well done.
She noticed the rapid tongue too... I wonder if she was thinking the same as me...
.... 'is that his next planned manoeuvre?' :-)
Smashing video, really enjoyed watching, thanks for posting.
..
'Smart woman to keep looking around and stay oriented with the real world.
She's a trooper, good deal on wifing her up quick.
Dude, that is the BEST date idea ever - and I hope you are both VERY happily married!
The most fun video yet !! Thanks for sharing !
That was a Great Video!! I love her excitement and Reactions! Congrats on getting married! She’s a keeper!! 👩✈️👩✈️👩✈️👩✈️
You gotta love a girl that gets joy from something like that.
*It is noted that the young girl is not used to flying in an acrobatic way, it is a matter of hours of flight. My congratulations to the pilot, his face was one of happiness. Angel.*
Nice video, reminds me of wken I was young. Your friend enjoyed it, I like the way you eased into doing the loop.
tfr51 thanks! Such a great feeling of freedom! There's nothing like it!
I've never done any aerobatics, but even the weightlessness and stalls I've done with her nervous/scared/excited. She loves roller coasters but she said there's something about diving down and NOTHING is in front of you. No road, no rails, NOTHING.
She is a real trouper!!
I must say your a gentleman for remembering the 'Lunch bag".
🤫🤫🤣🤣
Looks like a blast guys!
She is very calm. It seens she enjoyed all the flight. Funny!!!!
Thanks for posting I really enjoyed the ride too!
Good pilot!! Always looking around. So relaxed. Aerobatics major fun! Formation too.
i saw that too -- never gets old seeing a skilled pilot. Head on a swivel.
@@robbarron4066 Well done! At one point my instructor banged my "bone dome", "Never stop turning your head! This bitch will KILL you!. I have control.".....then he did a 4 point hesitation roll in the circuit at 800 ft. He was the Chief Instructor, so WHO was going to tell him off?
I was the only one to paint his bone dome bright red, and the only one to be given a Permanent Commission. I flew more hours than the rest. The RAF were brilliant, always respectful of us, and knowing we risked dying 2 times a day. Not heroes, but people you would want on your side if things went sideways. CAVU skies to you!
She is awesome! Great passenger!
the fastest "give me a pen ill give you my number" in history just a few meters lol ,nice video
she is a keeper!
The perfect vid. With no background music.nice 👍💪
Made my palms sweat just watching this!
until you have done this you have no Idea how it feels like a crazy roller coaster
Great video and no music- that's Oscar material.
Why do you hate music in videos?
lol great video...thanks for sharing!
Slingsby Firefly is the most British sounding a/c name I’ve ever heard.
What an awesome thing is to learn how to fly any plane
Good pilot - always keeping that head turning, looking out for other aircraft. Cute girl with great attitude! Aeros RULE! Built an aerobatic biplane myself. Lots of money. CAVU skies to all pilots.
Cheers bro!
Wow great video! I'm here after watching one of James Asquiths video about aerobatic flying! I always wonder how it feels haha but, nope, Im not an adventurous type so... I'll just watch it from here hehe
Give it a try and I reckon you'll never look back. Worked for me anyway 😀
She looks fun!
Subscribed. Way, way cool. Can watch this stuff forever. Congrats on your upcoming marriage.
Thanks bro! Will try and keep the content coming through. Post COVID19 I am hoping to get back in the air over the next couple of months... but the day job and home improvements have been getting in the way! 😂
Loved this clip! You must see a clip called "Sylvia screaming YAK52" :-)
😁👍👍👍я тоже так пищала за спиной инструктора на Як-52😊молодцы, удачи вам!❤💋летать это СЧАСТЬЕ...
Awesome! Great smile maker!
Joy....life is great upside down.
She keeps reaching for his joy stick.
Very nice smooth aeros...she obviously enjoyed it. So did you convert her to the joys of flying?
martinev12 thank you! I most certainly did! She goes flying with me often, although I've taken a break this spring as I transitioned to the B757!
Light stall turns & a hammerhead, very nice! :-D
Warren Moyses
Stall turns and hammerheads are the same thing.
Those were wing-overs, not stall turns. Big difference.
Not actually the same but thanks for taking the time to reply. :-)
Okay. Now I'm curious. what's the difference?
A Stall turn is exactly that as defined in aerobatics, the wings stall and it will go either way, left, or right, that is the definition of a stall TURN. A hammerhead though is an intentional vertical stall that will lead to the plane inverted upside down or flipped nose over and in a possible spin configuration. ;-)
3:13 that look says she realizes you're her kind of guy.
The youg girl is a natural. I've seen seasoned pilots barfing the first lazy eight
Me too! Some people are better than others at coping with it. But as a pax it is always more difficult anyway!
Agree with you there!!
What aircraft is being used?
What kind of airplane did you do this with? An RV?
stall turns are great! :D
Thanks! Almosrt everyone I flew enjoy stall sturns... I suppose it is quite gentle and less likely to make anyone feel ill!
Impressed by the tongue action at the end 😂
Great Pilot 😁🤙
Thanks!!
Looked like the "packed lunch" went all over the cockpit at 5:13!
Nope, she took it out... But I stopped it, opened up the vents and did some level flying! It certainly the sign to pack it in and get back on the ground!
At least if they are excited they maybe won't chuck- I am certain I had PX on the brakes once who was not feeling right(Extra) and couldn't put her down - guess I will never know, but it hasn't happened before or since....whatever, it's always fun. Nice aeros
What a great job! And there's me working 14hr shifts 😭😂
I did all of that in order to study through the licences! But it is certainly worth the time and effort!
Been there done that. But it was worth it. Now flying the 767 👍👌
WYTON always looks good from the air. Miss it.
Christian RT rider still there mate! We're still flying 😊
I used to work there. Been flying over the airfield many times. We moved up the A1 about 3 years ago. Not the same.
I thought about Conington, but the prices at Wyton are too good!
Shes a good sport
She took that one very good. Shes either used to fly or very tough!
First time in a light aircraft, although we went up twice that day!
Great aviating and even better that guest doesn't need barf bag. Too you couldn't capture the intercom audio, but camera's cabin sound works. BTW a/c type?
oh honey! you my hero!
I have a question inside of a small plate are hot or they have a/c or they use outside ventilation
Tony’s mobile repair a bit late but small planes (at least the ones I’ve seen) have a small vent that looks like a car air conditioner that can be opened to allow air in from the outside, given the speeds it works pretty well but they do tend to heat up a bit regardless.
Another satisfied customer.
Damn good pilot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's JAN from The Brady Bunch!!!
What's the plane? And more importantly, what are the flip up glasses, or are those clip ons (at the end I see the flip up)? Been trying to find some flip ups this type, my Yak is hard to see inside and outside :-) Thanks - and nice vid BTW -
Paul Shankland thank you! It is a Firefly T67C, great fun although they lack fuel injection! The sunglasses were a present and they flick up in order to allow vision during low vis. It also comes with different lenses so you can change it according to conditions. I love them. On the side it say Rapid Eyewear. Hope this helps you find them!
I believe, one time she will become a good pilot herself...
My dad owned a piper when we were young. Was not meant to do a full nose dive but he did just to scare my sister and my mom. The first time he did it i remember thinking, well there we go. My sister was screaming. I was super cool. Not now i wouldn't be. I'm too old for that s#*t!
First element for novice must be a simple stall. It is impressive almost like parachute jump
.
Especially with a wing drop! Funny you say that, most pax dislike stalling!
Even if she was briefed on the maneuvers beforehand, she definitely enjoyed this well performed set of aerobatics. I wonder what side by side brand of plane was used? Well done...
Matthew Keeley She received a thorough brief about the flight and safety from me. The aircraft is a T67C Firefly.
This bloke’s glasses made him fly at least 20 knots faster
😅
Wish! Need a better aircraft for that! 😅
Hey, wish you both all the best... but: next time you sit in that cockpit with a passenger, take care for loose cable and mics. As a retired german F-4 Pilot i can tell you how dangerous loose or not well fitted things could be dangerous, especially in an acrobatic display. A friend of mine was nearly knocked out in his Tornado while turning into a negative g dive by his small notice book not well fitted on his knee...
Blimey, the lengths you have to go to, just to get your leg over. And the EXPENSE!
She's worth all of it!
And as always, have a nice day.
What brand of glasses are those?
Foster Grants on steroids
Dude what was dripping on the left seat side of the cockpit?
Compass went tech during the climb out 😆
Buonasera.
The Firefly (T 67) seems to me a good aeroplane.
Why was it that the US customer scrapped them all,without even,apparently,salvaging
anything useful ?
Grazie,Francesco.
Hi. My understanding is that both the US and the RAF had an issue with unrecoverable spins. Particularly with an aft CoG. But don't quote me!
I hope you took her out to dinner and dancing after the afternoon date because girls like that need special attention. Great Video! What kind of plane are you flying?
its a Galaxy c-5
@@shutdahellup69420 oh yeah this is big brain time
Flying a Slingsby Firefly T67C
NICE! At 5:30 it was "enough"... I know this kind of face :)
The video was over to separate sessions. One in the morning and one in the afternoon!
seems fun.....
Freaks me right the hell out
I did exactly the same with a date. Except I used a 17 year old truck. Did a donught on dirt road to "wow" her. She wasn't ready and got all flopped around. Her head hit the window. Hard! My double gulp spilled on the floor. And on her purse and shoe. She had the dumbest look on her face I have ever seen. At least my truck started right back up. It stalled halfway thru the spin. Gave her a balled up paper towel to wipe the soda off her shoe. And purse. It's all I had.
A Viagra taken an hour pre-flight WOOD have provided for the perfect grab bar while not interfering with piloting the plane
Is it a grob
👍Nice!
What was that sound?? (2:06) it sound like something bending.. it triggers my anxiety the rest of the video 😂😂
What is that? A Rotax powered Light Sport?
Whatever it is, it’s better than what I’m currently flying, which is nothing.
I still have my Pitts S1-S+ and an RV-6, but haven’t flown in 10 years or so for medical reasons.
Got in to hot rod sport bikes a while back to get my adrenaline fix, but that has it’s own challenges when you ride on the street.
It's a T67 Firefly. Simple but fun to fly 👌
Every sport pilot have the developed muscules of his face
What kind of plane and where are you located
Av8tore71 it's a Slingsby Firefly and Cambridgeshire.
glider flying aerobatics rides
R.C. model and in my back yard .
somebody got lucky later that night.
Packed lunch... twice :)
What's with the parachutes? Is there any prior training involved? I enjoyed the vid, just don't get the 'chutes. Exiting a disabled a/c without ... "bang'n out"... aint that easy.
Policy of the club I'm in, and yes training was provided. You're right, difficult to bang out but it's better to have the option than not. Saw an article a few years ago where 2 gliders went into each other and one chap survived as he banged out 👍
@@gsps89 Glad the club provides parachutes and training as it's a really good idea to wear one whenever flying aerobatics. When I was a QFI in the RAF, one of my students rented a private T67M one weekend and sadly didn't wear a parachute so when the aircraft departed controlled flight into a spin and wouldn't recover he had no chance. Whilst there's no guarantees it does give you another chance therefore I would always wear a parachute for aeros and carryout a pre-flight practise of the abandon drill for the aircraft type as well.
Don t grab his arms, no go !
is this a firefly slingsby
Yep!
👏👏👏👏👏
This thing sounds like it has a V8 Ford!
slingsby firefly?
Ryan M. It is, yes 👍
My neck hurts from watching him
Also a good way to induce labor when the baby is overdue...
What kind of plane is it?
F 14
I wanna do that. How can I ?
There are plenty of way of doing it. Easiest way is to know a pilot who flies aerobatics. As most of us would be quite happy to take you up. Otherwise there are flight experiences advertised at most airfields or online, but they tend to be pricey!
always show us a shot of the outside of your aircraft in videos for curiosity sake
I'm not 100% happy about attaching cameras on the outside of the aircraft. But I will try and put a shot of it during the walkaround next time.
Shes very touchy feely! I like that in a woman :-D
Was that a technicolour yawn ?
you got a screemerr there.
Pilot and Passenger: *BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
Me: I see.
