What are the odds?

- While doing aerobatics in the Cessna 152 Aerobat, an amazing thing happened. Someone who used the plane before me must have dropped a fuel sampler in the cabin by accident and it must have rolled into a spot underneath the seats where it was very hard to see. I always check the cabin for any loose objects before going on aerobatics, but this fuel sampler went undetected. You won't believe what happened with this fuel sampler!
That's fantastic, the both of you looking for it while it's stuck on your head was hilarious.
Yeah, I had a good laugh when I saw it on the video afterwards.
That's one way to find your lost gear. I like that you focused on the recovery before starting to look around.
Looks to me like he did both at same time
Two heroes. Wishing you all the luck you need and a long career...
Thanks 👍 For you too!
Heroes? I must have missed the part where they saved someone through an act of bravery. Oh, was it the part where there recovered the lost fuel sampler that wasn’t properly secured as it should have been in the first place? Got ya!
That's such an odd place for it to end up. Good thing it didn't end up under a rudder pedal or something though.
We can all laugh about it but little things like that can be deadly. I mean look at the sheer confusion it created.
@@grasuh The reason I mentioned that was in reference to the helicopter crash that happened within the past couple of years in which a dropped iPad got wedged in the controls, was unable to be removed, leading to a crash, which killed both occupants.
NO LOOSE CRAP ALLOWED IN THE COCKPIT!
Definitely not! I somehow missed this sampler when checking the cockpit before the flight. It must have been hiding in a dark corner under one of the seats.
@@MyJoyInTheAir people forget about this one too often, fortunately it’s usually more annoying than dangerous!
Unfortunately other pilots sometimes forget their stuff in the plane. You can't always check the whole plane for small, loose objects!
I recall an aero club instructor who'd lost a very expensive, engraved gold plated steel ball point pen which his wife had given him on their 20th wedding anniversary. He thought that he'd dropped it inside one of the club aircraft but wasn't sure. He and another club member searched the interior of that aircraft high and low. He and the CFI even asked the base engineer to carry out a more extensive search for the pen in and around the rudder area and the underside of the seats. He'd been told on more than one occasion by the CFI not to use metal pens when he went flying.
Imagine his surprise when, about a year later, he was instructing in a Cessna 152A. During a stall turn that wasn't managed too well by the student, a similar thing happened, and he ended up with a steel ballpoint pen lodged between his left air muff and the head strap of his David Clark aviation headset. We were told that he was almost speechless.
Here's where it gets quite bizarre. The steel ballpoint pen that got stuck there WASN'T the same pen his wife had given him. However, it was the same brand and it was also gold plated.
Nobody ever claimed that pen or even reported it lost to the aero club. Whether it was because whoever had lost that pen didn't want to tell the club CFI that he/she'd been using a steel pen whilst flying, I don't know.
I do recall the instructor mentioned keeping that pen ("for safe keeping until it was claimed'), and he never took it flying with him again. I guess that his wife never even noticed that there was no anniversary message engraved on it.
And I do know that the CFI produced a notice which remained on the pilot briefing board next to the cross country planning desk in a corner of the clubhouse, reminding all pilots that metal pens were not to be used when flying club aircraft.
Wow, what an amazing story! Thanks for sharing it 😊
@@MyJoyInTheAir My pleasure. And thanks for the brilliant clip you posted here. It brought a few memories rolling back, and hence my recollection regarding the lost and found pens.
Cheers.
When the windshield is filed with an earthen view that is NOT the time to be worried about what tapped you on the head
I just watched a video of someones husband dying in air show in a plane with the wings ripped off and youtube shows me this?
🤷
Link?
LMAO!
Yep, I did too 😂
Start of a spin
Nah,that’s a hammer head. It’s an aerobatic maneuver.
Amazing lol.
This is hilarious 😂
Indeed 😄
That's great lol!!!!!!!!!!!!
ailerons neutral please
Opposite aileron is required to counteract the secondary effect of the rudder, which is a rolling motion. Applying full rudder to do the stall turn, causes quite a big rolling motion in the same direction and you have to counteract that, otherwise you will end up facing more than 180 degress opposite of your entry into the stall turn.
You have clearly never flown a stall/hammerhead turn ;)
😄
Ailerons neutral only in aircraft with fully symmetrical wing. Ailerons opposite rotation in a flat bottom wing or you'll roll 1/4 turn and miss heading on pull out. Reason symmetrical wing doesn't generate lift when 0 g loaded. The flat bottom wing will lift with forward speed through air. In hammer turn, outboard wing flies faster than inboard generating asymmetric lift and inducing roll
were you purposely pushing forward to go 0g? not really how you stall turn
Have you done a stall turn in a C152 ?
@@MyJoyInTheAir no, why do you need to push forward?
@@slab_bulkhead_ you reduce the angle of attack by pushing forward
I’m not a pilot but that’s hilarious 😂
Sure is 😄
Strange; I’m a pilot and I don’t find it funny at all. 😐
Im a future pilot (will take college with flight school in a few months) and its hilarious
