That A310 video is actually very reassuring, when watched from the outside and inside of the cockpit. As in what we feel as a reason to panic while onboard is actually barely noticeable from the outside and perfectly within aircraft's capabilities.

That MD-87 ramping up to full throttle was eargasmic...

[pineappleginseng]

To the pilots who help keep the fires down here in California, my hats off to yall and the firemen who risk their lives to keep us safe!

[toddsin]

Wow, those 310 guys made a very uncomfortable situation look like just a normal day in the office. Truly skilled pilots.

Thanks for dropping the audio between clips. I think the the format you’ve got now is great.

I miss flying! I’d been to Sarajevo during their war being on the ground shortest amount of time to get the cargo unloaded and loaded. Flew a lot of tactical landing and takeoffs. I flew on wildfires for over 20 years and it was fun sometimes on the pushovers on a ridge or to run down the side of a mountain with slurry. The Azores were a welcome sight to be landing at after flying for numerous hours. The video brought back memories.

[HaneherlThePretzel]

Incredible how bumpy the flight of the a310 is at that speed close to the ground.

Fire plane pilots are the most skilled!! Just imagine yourself doing a nose dive with a heavy load at low altitude and then once the tons of fire retardant payload is emptied in seconds, the lighter plane would handle differently and they had quickly adjust and pull back carefully. Incredible.

Massive respect to the pilots diving to fight the wildfire 👏

[NomNomNom]

I swear these pilots who are fighting the fire are so skilled. Im impressed everytime I see a video of them.

[kwerk]

"Cabin crew, please disarm the doors".
"yes, I confirm this door has no arms, good to go"

[nathen]

The engine noise at the end though. the best sound ever

[englishmadcow]

We forget the range of incredible skills pilots have. So much renewed respect!

[scheerlon]

why did I found this channel so late? love the information given to every clip. For people who are interested in aviation and already know the basics this is a blessing.

[ImpendingJoker]

In case anyone is wondering, the MD-87 has its landing gear extended to increase drag and slow the plane during that steep decent so they don't over stress the plane when they pull up at the bottom of the dive. Airliners weren't made to do such aggressive maneuvers at high speeds, and that sudden change in G-forces with the rapid change in weight will flex those wings like nobodies business.

The JetSmart attendant just wanted to make it more fun to exit the plane.

And again, the fastest 3 minutes on YT

The clip about windshear reminded of my own experiences as a pilot. Nothing like losing 100 feet of altitude in the blink of an eye, especially on final approach. Scary stuff.

[johnleith]

I'm old enough to remember when the Sarajevo approach was called the Khe Sanh Approach.

[timeisnow]

Crazy how calm and smooth the pass appears to be from the ground, then you see the inside of the cockpit where the pilot looks like he’s riding a mechanical bull 🤣, awesome.
