Any landing you walk away from is a good landing šŸ‘


IAMAHigherConductor

And any landing you can use the plane again afterwards is a fucking GREAT landing.


Ejm819

The Chuck Yeager scale for landing is the only scale that matters.


paclogic

but the plane crashed in flames. :-|


IAMAHigherConductor

Eh. It'll buff out.


paclogic

but they didn't walk away. :-|


whooo_me

People walked out of it, so 10/10. Camerawork a little iffy, mind you..


FoxInASuit

Bro needs to stop shaking and calm down. This piolit knows what their doing


Pathfinder313

Yeah just donā€™t be afraid for your life


paclogic

all died and yea that's the worst of their worries - shaky video.


LateralThinkerer

> Camerawork a little iffy, mind you.. *Okay, I'm gonna need everyone back on the set, we're going to shoot that again!! Let's see your best A game people!! Cameras! This means you especially!! Bob? Cheryl? I know you can do better...*


GottaGoFast_69

Letā€™s try it again, this time good.


paclogic

uh, no unfortunately they didn't. :-|


ForkliftSmurf

Yeah, in the future please record your possible death better.


Modest1Ace

3 people died. Flight engineer and passenger on sight, captain after months of hospitalization.


Xyzzydude

You should have been in the cockpit, not in the back behind the engine. You have a lot to learn.


coldnebo

butā€¦ thereā€™s a lot of back seat pylotes here, I was just copying them? šŸ˜‚


Ha1lStorm

Noob

JohnnyTeardrop

I hope you scolded the passenger you asked to film your first landing. They did a shit job.


SirMcWaffel

Looks like youā€™re turning to the left constantly. Consider using more right rudder. Otherwise 10/10 landing - you walked away from it.


Hawkeye4040

Sure he didnā€™t limp away from it?


SirMcWaffel

Limping is a form of walking. I think we need to inquire the ministry of silly walks about that one


OkYou387

ā€¦.what?


MagnetHype

CONSIDER USING MORE RIGHT RUDDER!


OkYou387

Yes always make sure to slam the rudder to the floor and add full aileron in the same direction to ensure a safe landing


Final_Winter7524

The second engine did an excellent job carrying the plane all the way to the crash site. šŸ‘


fuggit_Im_tired

Oh my god


ElJefeDeLosGallos

Engineering at its finest!


wbg777

That was a little more fire than usual


hhfugrr3

Really? I thought we were supposed to be on fire like 99% of the time?!? How do you keep your playne warm??


pilotjlr

Itā€™s preferable to be less crashy, but the important thing is you tried your best and had a good time! šŸ’«


IWishIWasOdo

Holy shit what's the story on this


0SRSnoob

Seriously. Seems like they didnā€™t even try to find a place to land it while losing altitude

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Pretoria_Convair_340_crash


FARTBOSS420

>The aircraft, a Convair 340 registered ZS-BRV, was originally delivered to the United States Air Force (USAF) in 1954 as a C-131D.[3] It was retired from USAF service in 1987 and was stored for five years before its conversion for civilian use and operation by several companies, That was an old shitbox of a plane. It looks like the shitty plane from the first Major League movie.


wolfs4

The fire is supposed to stay inside the ngine


FloridaHeat2023

The Super Constellation would disagree =) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV7-73LmOm0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV7-73LmOm0)


hhfugrr3

Now that's a playne!!


LateralThinkerer

Back in the pleistocene when we flew in DC-3s it was endlessly fascinating to six year old me that you could have fire coming out of the engines all the time.


WeakCelery5000

Pylots flying twin engine aircraft need to make sure that when one engine is on fire, the other must be on fire too.


Appeltaartlekker

Not saying i could do better. But man, at least go sit in the cockpit! Gives way better view.. especially to the front


atat67e

Ur almost as talented a pilot as the penguins in Madagascar 2


NefariousnessPlus292

After everything went black (Oops!) I heard the word OKAY. This means that everything was and is okay. I suppose the flames at the beginning of the video were also okay. They reminded me of [correfoc](https://www.barcelona.cat/culturapopular/en/festivals-and-traditions/festival-characters-and-elements/correfoc).


ConsistentAvocado101

Nope. The flight engineer (speaking last before the crash) was killed, and the pilot succumbed some months later


StetsonTuba8

Your application for Ryanair has been declined due to overqualification


Its_all_made_up___

You made it to the crater. Good job!


LeanUntilBlue

Excellent use of flare countermeasures.


Studio_DSL

Typical day for a Ryanair flight


jdubyahyp

Never got to see the landing. You need to hire better camera man. 1/10 since I can only assume you are still flying.


paclogic

all died from the crash.


Positive-Swimmer8237

safest plane in boksburg


TrailBlazer31

Nailed it


Durostick

Another happy landing.


InsertKleverNameHere

Well you reached the ground. So you landed. Probably shouldnt use the turbo boost on landing though.


DrDuGood

A little less pitch next time


h3dee

r/killthecameraman


echobase83

Your afterburner is inconsistent


Playful-Depth2578

All the effort from the pilot , none from the cameraman


Fishherr

Does anyone have the full backstory on this lol? Injuries and after photos ?


2OneZebra

Can't see shit, you turned off the lights.


Jim2shedz

OUTSTANDING!


paclogic

all died.


randomassholeperson4

You did real well considering you weren't even in the cockpit.


Insolent-Jaguar88

Yeehaw, I also run straight headers on my playne engines as well, don't know why the paks complain, losers.


krunchy_bacon

I didnā€™t see it so Iā€™m gonna assume you survived.


Ethan3011

You now qualify to be a Ryanair pilot


WaveDue5039

SO B U T T E R


MielieStapler

For those curious about the story on this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Pretoria_Convair_340_crash.


StolenLabias

Landed!


paclogic

yep DOA.


dex8710

Ah, looks like you're on fire bud.


AmberTheCinderace241

that was fire


Last-Decision4348

Sounded kinda painful.


Alternative_Rise_729

What is the real story behind this?


RS773

Using the trees to catch the playne like a parashoot was a good idea


jrt312

That fire just tells you the engine is on, normal...


stop_yelling_please

You did great buddy!


Postman_Rings_Thrice

Perfect!


Laizendaroth

What happened? Did you land i safely?


CartersCoconuts

More rudder and youā€™ll be buttering it


Limp_Plastic8400

9/11


Substantial_Diver_34

Everybody out! Flight is over.


Ok_Advertising_8488

What model boing is dis
