TAKING FLIGHT WITH ROCKET
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 20 พ.ย. 2020
'Rocket' is the son of the man who changed the aviation world forever in 1988. Michael 'Maverick' Blackstone started Air Combat USA, where over 100K people have become a Fighter Pilot For A Day™ from a tiny hangar at the Fullerton Airport. 'Rocket' followed in his dad's giant footsteps and learned from him how to fly his Pitts S-2A upside down and backwards, before soloing and earning his pilot's license in the Marchetti SF-260 at age 17. If you think growing up in the aviation business was easy, think again. 'Rocket' now has over 40 years of flying experiences to share with you. From tail draggers to Boeing 777s 'Rocket' truly loves aviation and wants you to join him in the sky. Ask him a question about how to get involved in aviation, how to learn to fly, what it takes to do what he has done, what to avoid and how he could have done it better if he could. 'Rocket' is here for you. Ask him anything and he will get you the answer - Flying, Life, Successes, Failures, ANYTHING.

The C919 took inspiration from the Airbus range, not once was a Boeing aircraft a consideration. It just takes someone with a pair of eyes to see the similarities.
Its more reliable than a Boeing
But why are you bullying and not letting the C919 allowed? Like I’m from China? I live in Beijing.
The first engineer of Boeing is a Chinese.His name is Wong Tsu.
People don't get it but this is very clever satire of a stupid American.
No one can stop China 🇨🇳
Imbecil...
737 MAX represents American innovation in the 21st century🤣🥲
Nice aircraft
there are so many air bus and boeing in china, spying is not needed.
Looking at one flying or operating in your country, and getting a job at Boeing to get access to its design data are two different things. One inspires you to steal, the other is taking action to get it done. Maybe a difference of opinion, but the truth is stealing confidential proprietary documents and design data that an employee with espionage intent can harm companies like Boeing or AirBus. This type of business practice is not acceptable. It’s unethical and illegal.
Er…ya stop making stuff lol
Why are americans like this? Now the only thing left for american to claim chinese ppls are copies of americans coz they too have head, nose, hands and legs
Paid poster by the U.S. state department. Loser
No it looks like B787 mixed A350 💀💀💀
cant'be anymore dumber
American propaganda is getting out of hand
Yeah right 😂
American propaganda getting more gringe. Absolute clownery.
Boeing 737...lol!
Just like Boeing 737 is not a badge of honor🤡🤣!
this is going to age so badly
Real American Eagles!
I was a customer of Air Combat USA back in 1995! I had NO real flying experience and I was scared to death, however they were very professional and I felt that I was in good hands. My instructor told me I had good flight instincts and was surprised I did so well. (I was very proud that I didnt pass out or puke) .....We pulled a max of 5G's coming out of a dive (that I should have pulled out much earlier).....Many decades have passed however I still get a rush of fear and adrenaline every time I talk about it.
Sheep
just like any other modern aircraft design 😂😂?
Haha China buys 200+ Airbuses a year and 8 Boeings, they know which craft is better. Hilarious American clowns
At lease is safer than the Boeing737…
Probably not
@@mohwybar5832Boeing crashing non stop nowadays
@@NeygarzruinedAmerica they haven’t had a single crash this year that resulted in fatalities
What an idiot. At least it is safer than B737 max.😊
body looks like normal. but wings are not the same
Stop dreaming mate, That Boeing is unreliable, been falling out of the sky for the past couple of years while it still new, now doors coming off, what's next the tail? Engine? 😂 American made planes need to stay on the ground cos that where they really design to do 😂. Those Chinese planes proven reliable and it belongs in the sky more than Boeing made planes.
The FAA will prove safe a plane that has the Guinness World Record of most accidents to be safe!
Great brief❤
😅No ones copying the Boing 737. Trust me
COMAC is
More like Boeing copying Comac: especially in the reliability and safety side
@@mohwybar5832It will be far better quality
Thanks for posting Mike, very comprehensive for anyone considering a YMF-5!
I've always loved biplanes. So beautifully designed. I'm yet to go flying to experience it. You have a very nice airplane. I love it. Thank you for sharing.
The cockpit photos didn't come up, was just a view of the beautiful outside. Any chance for an update to the video? Very informative hearing about your experience and great boost to flight safety to anyone who listens, thank you sir!
Espionage? China literally bought off the shelf boeing and airbus parts to build the C919. Airbus & Boeing was like just buy the parts and build it your self. Labor is to expensive in the west.
Boeing or Airbus don’t built those parts. They sub-contract out those parts to others companies. Boeing and Airbus are in the business of Design and Manufacture of aircraft. Not building engines, wheels and tires, or electronic systems. So COMAC did not buy Boeing or Airbus parts, they just source the material and sub-systems from the same sub-contractors.
Hi, How much it cost to have 1 hour on this airplane?
SF , Stelio Frati.
You are crazy!
Stupid guy… stupid video
C919 looks like 737 and A220 because it's MEANT to compete with them. So it must have the same capacity and technology. But the C919 has an advantage of being almost $50,000,000 cheaper
I think the likely cause is spatial disorientation…not what you been going on and on about
When you have to scrub a flight ride (due to weather or other unanticipated circumstances), do people get upset with you? So I would think if you scrub and then that person can't reschedule due to being from out-of-town or other , just wonder what the customer interaction is?
Good luck Mike
Can You Spell Money PITT???
Says the guy who's never owned an airplane, let alone a biplane. What do you find expensive on YOUR biplane? What do you consider expensive? Is it possible what you find pricey isn't a big deal for folks who perhaps earn more than you do?
It’s either a pleasure flight OR a flying lesson, not mix ‘n match !
737? Nope...looks just like an A320 though!
I am from Uruguay. Our air force academy uses this a/c as well, but here it's called Aeromacchi, not Marchetti. Wonder if it's the same a/c ?
If it an SF.260M or W, it is the same aircraft they were built by S.I.A.I. Marchetti in the '70s and '80s. P.s.: I am a co-founder and an original pilot of this company, started by this young man's Dad in 1987.
