Kelsey: This is a bad habit you want to avoid Me not a pilot : Okay
Hahaha.... me too :)
Another bad habit to avoid is flirting with married women; throwing up to windward or trying to eat a hamburger with one hand while trying to steer the motorcycle with the other!

When you start writing them down is when you know that you really want to take lessons! 😉
I actually went back to the original Antonov 12 (low flying) video. They have one that's an hour long, where they also talk about history of plane (it's really good). They were flying from France to Finland, carrying a bunch of racing horses. Captain did a very low and smooth landing so the horses doesn't freak out at the touch-down. Honestly, very thoughtful.
But... you can do a smooth landing without coming that close to houses
@@thysonsacclaim Maybe he didn't want as steep a glide?
What’s the link to the original video?
@@thysonsacclaim no because it not just how smooth the landing is but a flatter approach also means less flare which is a good thing with live cargo , this is also done on other equine transports
@@carolinadude12345 Look up low landing in a Antonov-12.
That crosswind landing was seriously impressive
well "only" because its not an A400M ;P
I always like seeing them big planes crab like that. I think some planes like the b52 the landing gear can actually turn so that the wheels stays straight inline with the runway when in a crab. Never understood why more large planes don't have that because it can be a lot of stress on the landing gear.
it was seriouly aviation deja vu
Most impressive.
Stylish-looking, even! And seems like superb execution of the technique. I wonder what airport that was at? Because it looks a whole lot like "wrong runway", unless it's a case of "... only runway". I'm sure Kel is right about them feeling it in the back, though. Those trays had better be stowed, and not containing the remnants of any in-flight meals!
Kelsey’s face while watching the videos, is a review in of itself.
I watch that first then as he explains it I see the clip 😂
@@davidhowell1415 lol I need to do that
Looks like he’s taking a 💩
it's kind of like a school teacher giving an unruly pupil the evil eye 😀
That last guy is altering the throttle like he's changing gear in Fast and Furious 😁
Looked like he was overcontrolling like crazy. That was about as smooth as chunky peanut butter.
Fast and furious gear boxes: unlimited gear shifts. Just wait till youre losing and shift up again
Double clutching double shifting 🤣
That was the turn signals. He couldn't keep it straight, so he kept signaling to turn in both directions. 👍
Oh okay. So he was trying to do that GTO wheelie. Makes sense now.
"I thought it was fake, something you see at a carnival" Dude what kind or carnival are you going to lmao
Oh my gosh, at the carnival (or circus) clowns do all kinds of crazy, dangerous- looking stuff like that!
@@KingoftheJuice18 never seen a clown crash a plane for laughs lmao
@@ginger_nosoul Yes, they usually avoid actually crashing...but Kelsey said, "At first he thought..."
It looks like a three stooges skit to me
That totally would be a scene in a Buster Keaton movie though.
747: crashes into the ground. 747: boeing!
no.
pained scream
you little... *visible anger*
I'm in love with this pun 😭
9:51 its down a touch hot. I think that's lateral. No the other lateral, vertical. "we're paying for new tires, why not use the old tires UP"
I appreciate how you leave space for the possibility that the plane in question is just different from what you've flown. Very humble 😁👍
I was a Flight Attendant aboard the Death Cruiser (DC-10) flying in the first position. We had a particularly rough landing in Denver which resulted in a series of 3 hard bounces. In my welcome to Denver PA and because it was Easter Sunday I said, I'm pleased to be the first to welcome you to Denver and our newest service in honor of the Easter holiday. Our new Bunny Hop flight service recreates the Easter Bunny's telltale hop all about the bunny trail delivering Easter eggs. As you pass the cockpit be sure to thank First Officer xxxx for that fun trip down hippity hop lane.
Thats hilarious! Find myself wondering if anyone did thank him, and if anyone actually took you seriously. lol
You're a legend.
Hahahaha... Very funny I thought maybe the pilots were trying to play that song from the 60s... (Candida) knock three times ..😜
@@Ewwtuba maybe some kids around 12-14 might have but adults who have flight once before wouldnt
ummmm did they discipline you for that? Some might even get fired, as we don't want to actively make customers fearful of our service. But you did already say "death cruiser," so maybe they were used to it. You think that was bad, almost every MD-11 pilot runs out of elevator at one time or another, ensuring a shitty bounce - or worse. Healthy respect for rates and nailing the approach speeds will solve this.
I just picture Kelsey telling his passengers "we lost all engines so we're gonna have a crash landing... COMING UP"
That would be comin down.
Not a nice thing to wish.
Kelsey is flying cargo planes these days. So not really anyone to announce that to..
“LETS GET INTO IT”
We’re coming in sideways!
6:03 holy crap it's amazing how they literally landed the plane sideways. Much respect to pilots!!
Lady pilot, well known story. She shrugged it off as no big thing. Beautiful flying.
Crabbing is something most pilots kind of say "Meh, no big deal" once they're on the ground. Just before touchdown, however, you couldn't get a 10-penny nail up their ass with a 10 pound sledge hammer. Seriously, crabbing touchdowns are among my favorite things to watch. When done poorly, they're terrifying. When done well, it's an elegant symphony with technology and human at center. I just find them beautiful.
Mid air drifting
@@watchyourtimeco1 When done well, it's still terrifying.
you should see crabbing with a CH47 or UH60. different kind of code brown
13:30 - As far as I know on 4-engine turboprop Antonov An-12 props blows too much air on the wing. So the wing with the flaps down generates significant lift even at zero IAS. To reduce this extra lift on final approach the flight manual recommends set 2nd and 3rd engines to flight idle.
Do you also know what airport that was? Somewhere in Russia of course but those Khruchyovka's are built everywhere 😀
@@Danny_Boel unfortunately not. This airfield is unfamiliar to me. Probably the military one. An-12 is widely used by air force.
@@froller thanks 👍
@@Danny_Boel in a comments below they say it is Lappeenranta, Finland.
Russian engineering simple effective and complicated
Russian pilot : wearing t shirt while landing Kelsey : wearing uniform ( and possibly shorts) while vlogging
In Russia, plane wears uniform, not the pilot.
In Soviet Russia, Uniform wears you

Hey I was on that flight............................Just kidding but had you for a second
@Digby Dooright My first thought was it was a TV so that they can watch movies whilst cruising :))
@@nevim007 it's actually a TV... unfortunately it shows only thunderstorms and heavy precipitation... and it's monochrome :))
I just looked up the ident number on the yoke and the aircraft is a AN-12. So it could very well be what you said
"That's something very hard to do with a plane that size" So my take-away from that statement is that the pilot was a true pro, and was trying to prove a point after someone told him that no one could make a 747 bounce
The thing I find unique about this channel than other aviation channels is that when 74 gear mentions a part of a plane (ex: rudder) He knows that not everybody knows it and explains what it is and what it does, and not expect everyone to know what it is.
Seriously, I watch a few more of these videos, I think I'd have a good shot of landing an actual plane. Just had an amusing thought, both pilots are incapitated, the 1st question isn't for a doctor, but rather who has seen the most 74 gear videos lol.
DID YOU SEE THE BEATING THAT THE LEFT INBOARD FLAP TOOK? THE TRACK SHOULD BE INSPECTED FOR CRACKS. A&P 7DIGIT#
THIS GUY KEEPS CHANGING HIS POSITION IN THE SEAT. I NEVER DID THAT ON FINAL APPROACH. BAD LANDINGS FOLLOW BAD APPROACHES!
@@howardtucker2423 that flap looked like it was going to snap off...
At 4:34 the crosswind landing, it wasn’t a “he”. Her name is Brenda Wassink and she’s a captain on the B757/767 with TUI UK. I’ve personally flown with her and she’s not just an amazing pilot but a really lovely person and I’m glad to see she’s still getting the good recognition she deserves. I’m sure Brenda will appreciate your kind words Kelsey
I hope Kelsey sees this.
@@aviphysics Yeah I just upvoted this :)
@@aviphysics I could tag Kelsey in a comment if you think he’d like it?
Don’t you think that she put too much side loading on the mains and took unnecessary risk. Why not divert somewhere with less crosswind. Just wondering.
@@aviatorel32 I am not a pilot, so I don't think that. Kelsey doesn't seem to think that, so I assume it was fine. In another video, he said that the mains on these plains is designed for this. Do you fly this type of plane?
That crosswind landing was a beauty. I have to imagine whoever was flying felt pretty good about that.
I've been on a plane when its landed like this. I woke up and looked out the window to see where we were and the ground was moving towards me. Pretty crazy when you're disoriented waking up, but its really just a big glider with its own wind maker on board :)
Right?! I'd feel relieved for a good 24 hours after that one.
Sad thing is that the pilot got fired from the airline after they said she should’ve gone around. They said it was way too dangerous!
@@f1_harv779 no that’s fake news. She wasn’t fired.
@@Madmonty73 oh really, I’m local to the airport and remember the time it happened. Apparently she was either suspended or fired.
I have no affiliation with aviation at all for my whole life, but these videos are addictive. Thanks, Kelsey! Keep them coming please!
Same here. I haven't even been on a plane since 1979, but I love these explanations for what's really going on. Also a great comment section where you actually learn even more.
Many years ago my husband and I were flying back into Anchorage. As we dropped down to the runway I looked out and noticed we were going way faster than usual. We kinda braced for a rough landing but the pilot touched it down so DAMN smoothly that we genuinely could not tell when we touched. Then he put the brakes on and our feet came off the floor. Everyone applauded. I commented to the flight attendant how amazing it was and she grinned and said "former fighter pilot". When we went past him we made sure we told him how amazing it was.
I watched 4 other Antonov 12 landings and I observed the following: Every pilot looked both very concerned and also terrified at the same time. Every pilot in the captain seat flew it in two handed and split the throttles using the inners and outers in their own way. All the dashes had extra fans mounted to the windshield with some kind of "scope" in the center...all cluttered. All the planes had crazy bells and noises....seems like a terrifying piece of Soviet tech to fly around in...lol.
I thought he thought he was driving . . . . a car, trying to change gears :-)
can't find anything online. Probably adding power to the outer engines doesn't impact lift as much as adding to the inner ones since the chord of the wing is shorter outboards and does contributes less lift overall (this is all speculation on my part).
@@makecba Don't forget that prop wash goes into the flaps too, creating even more lift.
Antonov pilots are a strange breed. I knew many of them (Tarom guys). And they do some weird things overall. Each plane is...unique. Older planes (even up to 707s) fly so different from one another that there's annotations in the forms about this or that. I remember one bird (an AN24) that HAD to be slammed down when landing because of the struts would not compress. True, they were bad and were binding in the full extend position, but when its a poor communist country and you don't have money...Tarom did lose a few ANs, but they never lost a jet and they had lots of Tupolevs, 707s, 73s and Airbuses. There was the one A310 that crashed but that is some shady stuff...(I wont go into here but I was there and Ive flown with those two pilots and they were pros. Lots of other "coincidences" in an era in Romania with lots of political assassinations)
object in the center of the dash was a toaster oven
Kelsey's concentration face when watching videos is legendary
glad you like it... I can just be me, in the early days people criticized me for not being more like WOWWW but better to be the real you than pretend
Yep. Every single time.
@@74gear Thank you for keepin' it real even as your channel grows. A lot of KZheadrs sell their soul so to speak, and just put whatever stupid faces in the thumbnail or make crazy titles or constantly exaggerate their reactions once they get greedy and decide to follow what the algorithm "wants" just so their channel keeps getting more popular.
@@74gear Love your expressions while watching, it's more realistic than going WOOOW OMG 😂
@@74gear When you have kids, your disappointed face will be deadly to them. Lol.
I used to work at the airport in the crosswind video and I was actually working on the ramp that morning, it was during storm Callum at Bristol Airport in England the crosswind was gusting between 40 and 50 knots a LOT of other planes either rejected completely or took more than one try. When you add into what you can see that the runway is only 1.2 miles long, oriented on 270/90 degrees with the wind going north, its 620(approx) ft above sea level and part of the western end of the runway is a lot higher up than the eastern end of the runway, it all makes for an amazing landing, and I can say with confidence that seeing it first hand on the ramp the video dosen't do it justice.
That was honestly a beautiful crosswind landing.
I worked at Felts Field in Spokane, a long time ago. A guy did a prop start and the plane took off, flew across the spokane river, and crashed. There were no survivors. But no one died either.
No Fatalities, No Survivors. ... Nice idea for a show.
Are you exaggerating bro, how can a plane take off the ground without a pilot aboard?
@@jasieljonathan6429 somehow the throttle control was was open before the prop was started, and no brakes set so when the prop started, cranking the engine into action, boom there you go, these small planes don't need that much speed to generate the needed lift over the wings.
I was gonna like your comment but the like count is perfect
You are talking about zombies here... 🥺

ahh but you're still not. You're using less of the far end by landing early.
@@JCrook1028 Hold my beer and watch this......
Nope he don't need to pay for the landing.
I used to live abroad and I was terrified of flying, to the point the attendants would ask me if I wanted to talk to the pilots on a few different flights (yes, this bad). I accepted once, won't say when or where but it really helped me rationalize the fact that flying is one of the safest ways to get around. It was impressive to see how relaxed those guys were while technically being responsible of hundreds of people's lives. I wish I would have found your channel then, it would have really helped me with my fears. I hope other people feel better after watching you. Now I'm just really happy to learn more about flying!
I travelled so often for a while that I just got used to everything a flight could throw at me. When it came to flying with my nervous wife and kids, I would take them through takeoff and noises, decelerating after clearing airports, telling them about clear air turbulence, banking and so on before it happened. Same with landing. My local airport was Gatwick near London UK. It is known as being horrible place to land for nervous fliers and I have always been grateful to pilots getting the crate down safely.
@johnheaslip1039 When things go wrong though, it really goes wrong at 39000ft and you can't call AA
I'm not a pilot. I'm a truck driver, but I still understand about high crosswinds from driving in high winds, especially if my trailer is light or empty. The rear part of your fuselage on that 747, like my box trailer has so much area for the wind to push against mother nature can just move it over with ease, making it hard to keep the rear of it in line with the rest of the vehicle.
There are vids of trucks in winter crossing the Donner Pass, and I remember one pushed ENTIRELY off the road and took 2 big cranes to lift out of ditch.
@@veramae4098 I've been over Donner's Pass many times. I didn't witness that specific accident, but I don't doubt it a bit.
"Mental malfunction", priceless Kelsey, I have to remember that !!
"We both sneezed, and the force of the sneezes coupled with the flight attendants sneezing caused our plane to fall out of the sky."
Ohh here's a Kleenex
Captain: "Everyone synchro-sneeze towards the ground to provide lift !"
and that is why you never do coke on a plane
Omg im dead 😂
I genuinely think you're the best pilot on KZhead. You're down-to-Earth, comfortable in your own skin, and have a wry sense of humor. Thanks for all the good content.
So, he is the best youtuber, not pilot. He might be the best pilot also but you or me wouldn't know.
@@0xf7c8 i think he meant entertainment wise hence the "You're down-to-Earth, comfortable in your own skin, and have a wry sense of humor. Thanks for all the good content."

As an airline pilot myself, I would fly with him any day. Any fellow pilot can tell that he is an excellent teacher and well spoken. It's one thing to be good at your job, but it's entirely a different skill to share that knowledge this effectively. Love the passion!
The second clip was amazing. I love the fact that you admit to your own mistakes. ❤️ It shows that you are an excellent Pilot.
Always a good day when Kelsey uploads

@@Boss_Tanaka ye that’s mentour
Mr K, you've taught me not just facts but technique. I'm simming a 787 & have the auto throttle bring us down to ~170 kts, and the I'd cut the power when the FO called "approaching minimums," and I'd slam into the runway.
Kelsey you rock ! Btw I am never worried about flying, I’m just always worried about falling
Exactly! It is not the flying, it's the not flying or not flying well. Like falling off a building. It is not the fall that will kill you, it is the sudden stop at the bottom.
My favorite hard landing excuse is "Sorry ladies and gentlemen, that landing wasn't my fault and it certainly wasn't the first officer's fault. It was the asphalt!"
Leave lol

Crosswinds Landing was gorgeous textbook amazing right on the money I must have watched it 10 times absolutely incredible job
15:17 the extra screen you see there is a radar screen that was build in later. The An-12 originally came out in the late '50, so i assume it was added later. You can also see 2 fans at each side of the screen, probably there wasn't much cooling in the cockpit from the original design.
It’s a weather radar. Common in a lot of older Soviet aircraft - it’s on top of the dash because 1) the Flight Engineer sits there (he was between the pilots in the video), and 2) there’s an access hatch into the Navigator’s office (the glazed area on the nose). As a consequence, the throttle assemblies are split between the pilots. There is no single quad-throttle-radio assembly like in the 747, also, no autothrottle, but still not observing HOTAS nonetheless. I’m unsure why but being a 1950s design, there is a possibility of no hydraulics, meaning you need more force just to move the stick around. It’s a fairly big aircraft too.
@@aklhj Question from an aviation enthusiast who nonetheless knows very little, this type of plane in the video, how big is it? I got the sense, watching the video, that it was a small private plane, carrying *just* the pilot and the individual to his right. But from reading many of these comments, it's starting to seem like this plane was possibly bigger than that. For instance, you refer here to a space for a flight engineer sitting *between* the pilots. This leads me to believe this plane is possibly much bigger than I assumed. Was it big enough to have many passengers on board?
@@mcnultyssobercompanion6372, I'm not a connoisseur of Soviet aircraft, but people are saying it's an Antonov An-12. Fairly big plane, about the size of a C-130.
@@mcnultyssobercompanion6372 Search for: HEAVY Antonov 12 FULL of horses to Finland!! ULTIMATE COCKPIT MOVIE [AirClips Cockpit Docu] That is a perfect video in English where he explains a bit about the plane. It is not the biggest plane from Antonov, far from it. The AN-12 is only disigned as cargo planes, the passanger variant is the AN-10, but wasn't very succesfull.
@@mcnultyssobercompanion6372 I've seen the original video. It's a pretty big Russian cargo plane as was said below, comparable in size to a C-130
Your facial expression when you're trying to figure out what's going on with the broken engine is everything 😂😂
Nervous flyer here (passenger, don’t worry I know I’d be a terrible pilot 😂 My instinct would be to never leave the ground!) Not sure why I started watching these, you do make things sound a hell of a lot less scary than the situations can seem to a non-pilot. Thank you for sharing your expertise and helping try to put some of us at ease. That plane the pilot literally bounced off the runway, I assume that would’ve needed some pretty big maintenance jobs doing? So many of the bigger air crash investigation videos start off with a minor issue that gets missed in maintenance, or wear and tear that goes unnoticed or damage done when using a forklift to remove an engine (literally the one I watched earlier today). Any words on how thorough the maintenance checks on these planes are for those of us who are nervous flyers?
love how knowledgeable he is plus how he can explain it to very insane detail as if you know nothing about aircraft or crosswinds or windpatterns and after listening you now know about all of these things in insane detail
That second clip, with the cross wind landing, seemed insane to me. I was sure he'd tell us that this was not normal. I couldn't believe that this happens normally. Major respect to pilots, I never realized this sort of stuff could happen.
If you want to see some rodeos look up Leeds Bradford airport crosswind landings. Highest airport in England, fully open terrain surrounding this runway on the top of a small mountain, the wind that it gets is nuts and if you’re looking down the centre line as a passenger on your final approach, it’s pretty standard 🤣

My grandfather built B52s during WW2 and Later worked on the earliest versions of 747's. Your channel reminds me of him and I like it, thank you.
It's an An-12, so unless you're built like Arnold Schwarzenegger you're going to struggle to make those yoke movements one handed.
yes every antonov pilot is like that russian guy. epic material on youtube
Think the item on the dash is a western made radar display unit.
@@dxbmick in old films with the older transport Antonovs, they seem to have a 'thunderscope' (Doppler...?) for the middle seat navigator-pilot, roughly in that position
Are they coming in that low because they have that gear with little to no spring travel?
There is no turbulence at all. Why yanking and turning the joke like that??
That guy flying the Antonov on a straight line works harder than an F1 driver in Monaco!

You gotta like this guy. I think it’s his humility. Entertaining and instructive.
thanks kelsey for feeding me knowledge about aviation to the point where i have confidence acing ground school
Kelsey really explains aviation well to us non-pilots. Well done sir! May the winds go your way and the flight stay smooth
for the last video : on older planes, the 4 engines are not all running at the same RPM. it can be easier to land by just controlling two if the other two are already RPM matched.
Why keep the RPMs matched, at the expense of the power output? Other than to prevent prop sound oscillation?
@@davecrupel2817 imagine 4 engines not running at the same RPM. You get very unpredictable response and torque. On some old planes, each throttle lever will be in a different position to get the same RPM. So it's really a pain to adjust all 4 as you are coming in for landing.
Is there a way to lock all the levers together no matter what position they are in to keep all the engines at a certain rpm?
@@Gidono not that simple. it's not a linear correlation with old engines. Some behave better at different throttle.
@@Gidono you should understand that not all aircrafts are computer controlled, in particular old ones.... thus no way to "lock" or "match" the analog controls.
ANY landing where everyone walks away from is a GOOD landing! ANY! Good job dude!
I used to fly a lot for business purposes. My local airports were Gatwick (LGW) and Heathrow (LHR). Gatwick has always been a horrible place to land for nervous fliers, but I was always grateful to the professionals putting the crate on the ground every time. Thank you BA, American and many others.
My Dad used to fly TransPacific flights often in the 1980’s. He had one 747 landing that was so rough he said he thinks the pilot forgot he was sitting upstairs!
An ex-fighter jock, maybe?
Last one is an Antonov AN-12 and it is precisely how to fly it by the book. XD Oh, and it doesn't need a runway...
So chuffed to see my local airport on the crosswind landing. Bristol uk , eggd rway 27. Famous for it’s fog and crosswind excitement! Thanks for the great channel!

This probably makes me a terrible person, but the first thing that crossed my mind while watching the first clip/propeller guy was "natural selection, comin' up." 🤷♀️

I love your Viral Debrief series, man, it's an Insta-click every time I see a new one.
Same
That first one definitely deserved some Benny Hill background music.
Literally I said to myself "that's BuffoonAir, Benny Hill, Master Pilot."
Yes! And speed it up a little bit.
That is an amazing crosswind landing. I've been in a far less intense cross-wind landing before and it is not pleasant as a passenger. If I recall it was at Houston International. It was very uncomfortable and nerve-racking. It was windy is as good a reason as any.
I rode a crosswind landing in a small plane at Denver, and my first thought was "that was cool." I've been told I'm not normal.
Bristol, England.
That crosswind landing was mint.....very nice.
So I know that some Antonov pilots need both hands because you need much strength to move that yoke, so maybe the plane is an Antonov, that would also explain why there is stuff in front of the window and why they split the throttle up.
Its an Antonov AN 12

Had one of those on a Southwest flight. The Captain announced on the intercom that there wouldn't be a charge for the second landing. SW has the best personnel.
"I sneezed, the other guy sneezed.."😂 I just love u Kelsey! When pilots try to come across as a super human with no flauds, it just makes me not trust them! We are all only human and u r the most humble of them. Id be honored to be your passenger. Or gargo 😂
Sam you the man. I passed 40 pilots 2 days ago at Dulles international. Only one wanted to talk. He was cool guy, flew the CRJ for 14 years. Wich was my flight home. I wish more pilots were not burnt out. You make it fun. You care. And I can almost tell you like the smell of the jet fuel too. When I smell it I know I'm going far away fast. Thank you for being a part of my life. Thank you for making life normal for me during the "pandemic". God bless.
I can't imagine what a passenger on the crabbing plane would feel like when instead of looking out the window to see everything going by as normal, to be looking out the window to see the runway straight ahead !
I experienced that as a passenger on my first flight as an adult. It was frightening and it felt like it was going on forever. I remember the plane sliding sideways for most of the run way. I don't know if that's possible on a frozen runway or if it's just a case of the mind slowing things down when things happen fast. It was really scary, but fascinating at the same time. I wouldn't say I was traumatized by it, but it's something that enters my mind from time to time even now, over 20 years later.
I was one landing In LaGuardia. It sucked. The whole plane was silent for the last 30 minutes as we were buffeted by so much turbulence that we thought we would need to divert. The pilot put it down, sideways, swerved left and right, left wing up while right landing gear on ground, another swerve then on the ground. Worst. Landing. Ever...... BUT! The pilot did it and we all thanked her on the way off.
Looks like that A380 crabbing would have been fun!
While waiting for my island hopper de Havilland Dash 8 to arrive the wind was super strong from the north, and the runway was east-west. As the pilot was creeping up the shoreline, the entire micro-airport staff came out to watch. He slowly turned and slid east about a mile down the 2 mile runway and the snapped it around as he touched down. The airport our flight was landing on is east-west also, so we got to see the maneuver from the outside as well as the inside. It was a treat, and the air crew was having a lot of fun that day.
tried it once on the last plane out of copenhagen, before the airport closed down because of a major stormfront. on rute to sønderborg, because it was the last plane we made a stop in odense on the way, so twice on the same day. danish air space was closed for 2 days
"Don't flip your camera around ten different times before sending it to me" 🤣🤣 you're so sassy, I love it
Shuddup woman
Had the same thing to me on my second ever GA flight (Cessna 152), didn't slam the door good enough and sure enough right on rotate the door popped open I was staring at the gear and the departing ground. Gotta love the thrill of flying, its always a unique experience.
my autism thanks you for always having very interesting content!! Always loved planes, just terrified of flying, finally went on a plane a year ago and loved it especially because your videos kept me calm!
'Whaddya mean ya can't bounce a -47? Here, hold my beer!"
What if an A380 bounced

"Code Brown situation" - well someone certainly had one!
As the co-pilot said "Captain, pass me my brown trousers"
I remember the story of the Air Canada "Gimli Glider", in which a flight crew crossed the controls of a 767 and put into a crab in an attempt to land after losing both engines. I would love to hear your take on that incident.
That was a side-slip they did to line up with the runway. I believe Capt.Carlos Dardano did the same thing with TACA 110 to get on the levee in New Orleans.
I think you are a kind, good hearted person. Would love to fly with you someday.
That crosswind landing has got to be brutal on the landing gear. When I was flying my Cessna 172, i really worked on my Cross Controlling Skills, and it saved my ass a few times. That 747. . . “Carrier Landing”
6:57 HAD ME ROLLING Sir, thats just so spot on.
The structural support engineering of the wings attachment to the fuselage absolutely amazes me. Seem like they would have snapped right off.
I really enjoy your content and Channel Kelsey! I always wanted to be a pilot! It never was in the cards I guess for me. I'm 44 now and probably never will happen but hoping when my son is older I can convince him. Thanks for letting us all live though you and we enjoy your knowledge!!!!!
It's an AN12, having engines throttled up helps with airflow over the wings, split the throttles means you can have 2 engines powered up,
Ahh... so keeping 1 and 4 spooled up gives better aileron authority? Makes sense.
@@tstodgell Yes, and couple that with slow responding (sometimes) governors and you can see the benefit. Just a different technique. Sure is more fun flying old Russian planes, especially turboprops.
@@t.w.3 Yeah they've got a lot of character for sure! I've crossed the pond twice in an IL-86, and flown domestically on Tu-154's. Alas, never had been on a Russian turboprop.
Kelsey: "here are some bad habits you don't want to get into." Me, barely able to land a Baron in FSX with a mouse yoke: *starts taking notes*
First note to jot down is to ditch the mouse yoke. Get a joystick when you can, you'll be amazed that you can actually fly.
Switch to a sim that simulates ground effect. It's much easier to land.
Ditch the mouse for anything but working "inside the cockpit". A useable joystick is only $25-30. Switching from mouse and keys to joystick will have you wondering within 5 minutes why you wasted all that time developing that useless skill. You don't need to spend $300 on a top-of-the-line Thrustmaster. I have a Logitech Extreme 3D that I've had for almost 20 years. It gets tossed in a box from time-to-time and is still in good shape. They still make that joystick and today it costs about 2/3 of what I paid for mine. If you want the name and precision, Thrustmaster sells a "budget" HOTAS joystick for about $60-70 when on sale. Weight in the base of the stick is important, especially if you put it on your lap, working the mouse and keyboard on the desk. Having a master throttle on the joystick and having coolie hats for trimming and switching view perspective are also almost indispensable features.
8:22 JEEESUS look at the inboard left flap! What the heck made it shake like that?!
I'm new here but I already love this channel! Aircrash Investigation is my favourite show! 😂✈️🛩️🛫🛬💺
"Code Brown" 😂 These videos are incredibly educational.
In the news today, United had an engine disintegrate over Colorado. It safely landed but scattering debris - mostly engine cowling over a wide area. It was captured on video. You could feature a breakdown (pun not intended) in your next viral video.
The photos of the front of the cowling next to the house was spooky. If it had been 20 feet further, I am pretty sure it would have caused massive damage to the house.
I saw video from the news and if you look closely it looks like the roof of the truck in the driveway is collapsed in. Cowl must have hit that first.
Dang we uses to live in Broomfield. Wife saw on tv and it freaked me out. A 777 engine cowling to fall in your town.
Its crazy how the engine casing stayed on in this video, but that United one just shredded apart. Big props to the pilots in both situations to land safely back on the ground.
Very Donnie Darko moment.
4'55 - "Nice... nicely done". Understatement of the year!!
I'm no pilot but I watched this absolute intrigued .I just had to subscribed.fantastic video .Tim from Australia.
Sorry Kelsey. I'm still laughing at the "boiled owl" remark.
Same and ashamed
@@Boss_Tanaka Same but not ashamed
Add me to that list, too. Lol
Same. I can't unsee it
I had to keep reminding myself during this video that I never saw a boiled owl, but I think I know now what it must look like! STOP THAT!! Watch the damn video, and concentrate on what this boiled owl is saying.
A good landing is one in which everyone walks away. A great landing is when you can you reuse the aircraft. An amazing landing is when the passengers don't even clap.
reuse the aircraft was new to mw, thx for the laugh
And my landings involve passengers crawling and limping away
@@ZCasavant I think that falls into 1 of 2 camps: "Good enough" or "I'll take it regardless"
I got really tired of clapping passengers. Do the pilots even hear that?
@@ZCasavant Me watching the passengers getting down the slide: "But, did you die?"
I’m sure a few people have already answered it, but on the KC-135(60 year old version of the 707) we set fuel flows based on our weight with the outboards and use the inboards to fine tune on approach, especially on high cross wind / gusty days.
I just found your channel and I’m already in love with it! 😍🤩
