I haven’t made a ‘music video’ for a while, and I have lots of plane shorts so I knocked this up from most of the footage and put on Guns n’ Roses ‘November Rain’ as the soundtrack. I have also written up an extensive video info section, so read it before you make any ‘when did this happen’ type comments. AIRCRAFT IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE ________________________________ Boeing 747 – This Video is very widely distributed, a 747 taking off just before the end of the runway, and passing less than 100 feet over plane spotters. Another B747 – Performing a crosswind landing Another B747 – Landing at St Maarteen Airport. The Airport has one 2345 meter long runway, 09/27, and the 747 is landing on runway 09, in which the threshold is only 80 meters away from a beach, the end of the runway only 2 meters away. If you want to see more amazing videos of this, look up the airport on YouTube. Messerschmitt Me 262 “Schwalbe” – the world’s first turbojet fighter aircraft, which first flew in 1941 with piston engines, and 5 years later with jet engines. The only two countries that used this plane were Germany and Czechoslovakia respectively, the Czechs retired these planes in 1957.

8:12 And there’s the end of the era of the airships. RIP
I systematically skip aircraft videos that are accompanied by stupid music, whether it is classical or heavy metal or anything… The best music is the engines sound !…

Fuck I hate arguing semantics….From the Oxford English dictionary:
EVENTUALITY, from the Latin “ēventu”, originating in the 17th century, and meaning: a possible event or outcome.
Synonyms: Possibility, chance, prospect.
Note no referance to or infernce of accidents being PROBABLE. (An event with an expectation to occur).
Now you seem to have interpreted my personal opinion incorrectly, that’s not my problem. But can you please stop fucking arguing with me?
@flyboy172r Last I checked, “eventuality” referred not to a simple “possibility” (which is something that MAY happen) but to a possibility that is expected to occur. Not as final as a “certainty” but regarded with the same level of expectation. If you have done every thing that is possible to do to avoid a component failure then you have no reason to regard the failure as an “eventuality”
@ZWILD1
In the 4 years (Not all that long) I’ve been learning to fly, I’ve personally suffered an alternator failure at 9500′ over water, a PFD failure during NVFR and a close friend has even suffered a full engine failure in a single engine Warrior. And you need to go and check your definition of ‘eventuality’, last I checked it did actually mean possibility! In any of my posts, I have never stated that I believe incidents to be unavoidable! Seriously, what’s your problem??
@flyboy172r Why is it that every criticism you receive is rebutted by you stating that the other person doesn’t understand your meaning or you lobbing-out some idiotic and irrelevant ad hominem?
You used the word “eventuality” twice when referring to the possibility of an incident/disaster while operating an aircraft. The rest of the content and tone of your posts backed-up the idea that you regard “disasters” as an unavoidable part of flying.
Your point was very clear!
6:18 holy shit dude that was close, talking about a close shave.
@ZWILD1
Now hold on a minute, you seem to be missing my point entirely! What I’m trying to say is that if people have a respect for the machine and the mechanism of aviation, as well as the inherent (yet statistically unlikely) risk that flying poses, then IF an incident DOES occur, pilots will be perfectly equipped to deal with it safely and rationally. You seem to suggest that I believe these incidents to unavoidable, which is actually the OPPOSITE of what I was suggesting!
@flyboy172r “Mishaps/Disasters” are not an “eventuality”, they are a possibility. And if you don’t do everything that is possible to avert that possibility from becoming a reality, or you consider that possibility as an unavoidable and therefore acceptable risk, then you should not be allowed (nor do you deserve) to have anything to do with the business of flying.
@flyboy172r that has to b the most creative work i have seen. more than a love of flying it seems you seek to share educate. tyvm michael
@MartinIrma
Filling it with hydrogen instead of helium (even if the supply was cut off) makes it a strong contender for the worst in my books… they should have shelved it until the situation changed.
That’s almost as dumb as fueling rally cars with nitroglycerin.
music ruined it
The Hindenburg was NOT struck by lightning, it was STATIC electricity.
@flyboy172r It is the longest, but they said it had a hydrogen explosion cause that stuff is very flammable. Once it caught fire there’s no hope for an airship made of fabric and aluminum, so it went up in flames and sunk to the ground and then kind of melted on itself. I personally don’t like seeing that thing because it wore the Nazi flag and the ship itself deserved to go down for that, but the passengers did not deserve to die with it. It was pretty horrible I can imagine.
6:30 FUCKING AWESOME!
love the 262
Peter B is awesome
@MartinIrma Naw, a kraut crewman had a few too many Weihenstephans for lunch and lit up a cigarette.
@flyboy172r
Supposedly, static electricity built up some of the on the isolated sheets that made up the Hindenburg’s skin. One sheet built up a large electric potential and an arc formed between it and an ajoining sheet that had a lot smaller potential. The arc caused the sheets to ignite, as they were (supposedly) made up of the same substance that is in space shuttle rocket boosters. Naturally, it caught fire and burned for a while, burned through the bladder, and then ignited the hydrogen.
You could have added 9/11 to the end. :>
I’m sorry but the look on the guy’s face at 3:29 is priceless.
you forgot concorde and the lockheed sr-17
Outstanding collaberation. Thank you.
If you are a pilot one thing you quickly realize is it’s easy to imagine your top gun antics on the ground but once you are in the air things are a bit more serious…
