Hi Bigg Vic, Thabo Ntshisi from South Africa, I have 30 years experience in Military as a Operational Officer, trucking is our second nature of business in the Military for any missions, my passion started (2001) when I was a Non Commission Officer till I qualify a Senior Officer, my blessing is that my two daughters got job in Washington DC this year, we were talking a lot about trucking in USA, I am doing my research so that I would understand the industry of trucking in USA, my research started in 2020 even now I am learning a lot more especially from people like you. I understand what do I want and know what do I want to achieve now. The reason why I telling you this because I am learning a lot from your experience. My vision is to build a company with good goals and good values of success. Thank you once more for your best information you're sharing with us.
As a pilot, there is a real magic about takeoffs and landings. When you leave the ground it's like a dream. Landings are like artwork, they require different, tiny strokes every time. That's why a landing can be good or bad...but always fun.
@@crooked-halo planes are so fun! There is just a whole different world up above the clouds. And they are so fast! I recently took a plane from Columbus Ohio to Las Vegas. 15 minutes after take off I pulled out my phone and saw from Google maps we were over Indianapolis Indiana. That's a 4 hour drive.
By far the most exciting vacation I've ever been on, and the reason I decided I wanted to learn to fly! Those Insel Air pilots really played it up... they held full throttle and full brake for longer than anybody else!
Having worked as a ramp (tarmac) employee, I know understand the “thrill” of being that close to these giant metal birds, it’s awe inspiring. Along with that, the jet blast kicks up enough dust to sand blast your face, risking eye injuries. The other risk is damage to your hearing. It’s almost unbearable.
i agree, i've worked in ramp before, i love airplanes, even the smell of the kerosene, but i dont think i would be doing this , if i do i would have face shield and ear protection and look stupid lol, its beyond me they are allowed to do that.
Unfortunately no amount of warning can tell an idiot that, quite apart form the possibility of being blown across the road into a concrete retaining wall, which has killed one tourist and seriously injured many others, even a small pebble turns into a bullet when propelled by a jet engine.
Nice cinematography and editing! The color balance and image dynamics gave a very realistic impression of a bright tropical day. We have a place in the Caribbean and watching the video was like being there.
Thank you very much for your great comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Creating the video was also quite a lot of work. As you can see from the millions of clicks, the effort was worth it.
Thanks Bro for this epic video!!! There always a KID in ME that never get full or dull with AIRPLANES/jets since childhood! My first MARQUEE TOY FROM MY PARENTS WAS THE AIRLINE PLANE TOY! I guess I got hooked since.! I totally enjoy these blasts!!! Thanks again!! Jet planes jets FOREVER!!! 👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩🇺🇸
Thank you Jason. The MD-80 is really amazing, I felt it on my own body. I think the reason is, that the two engines combine the jet and that gives the extreme jet blast and the water wall.
@@HvdH-Plane The MD-80 engines are low bypass ratio turbofans so the exhaust velocity is much higher than the more modern engines. It is this higher velocity that gives the effect on the crowd and sand. Combined, those 2 engines have less thrust than one of the 747 engines.
@@cajunengineer7874well agreed !! Also the fact that the MD-80's engines are mounted higher than the engines mounted on Boeing and Airbus aircrafts, hence it feels like it's having more impact as it hits the sand and sea
Did it a few years back. A 747 was about to take off. As it swung around you could see the pilots waking in a way telling us to leave but no one did. So the plane sat there for a few minutes then it slowly taxied to the opposite end of the runway, turned and then took off. It was amazing as it headed towards us. Me and my wife stepped to the side. When it went over the top of us some people actually got blown over to the ground. It was then that I realized the pilots we telling us to move, getaway because a plane of that size with 4 engines would have caused pain to us...lol!
This is hilarious ! Reminds me of going to NHRA races in the 80's. This was when you could be right there while they replaced engines and such. People would stand behind the dragster while they cranked and ran it. We knew what was gonna happen, and when they switched it over to nitrous it was like poison gas and would send everybody running lol.
Yes, I've been many times late 80s all through the 90s. Went on a Sat. I think it was. Walking around the pits we got so lucky at least 5-6x we happened to be right where they were firing one up. It was uncanny how it just happened that we'd be in the right place at the right time. The fire up on methanol and run it for about 10 secs. It has a smoother idle. Then they switch it over to nitromethane (not "nitrous") first one pump then 2nd fuel pump. There is no mistaking the crackling of nitro. If you're downwind you're in trouble. You're eyes and lungs will start to burn when you get a big whiff. Then they crack the throttle to seat the clutch and it scares the shit out of everybody. LOL!
I experienced that at Pomona RaceWay at Los Angeles California Amazing how quickly they take it apart and put it back together I got to see Big Daddy racing
I experienced that at Pomona RaceWay at Los Angeles California Amazing how quickly they take it apart and put it back together I got to see Big Daddy racing
I went to the Gatornationals in Gainesville FL w my Dad beginning in around 1982 or so … you’re so right the them hitting that switch! LMAO! I was 8 or 9 I believe and we went every year until probably 1997 … I was the biggest Kenny Bernstein fan❤ My Dad would literally spend hours w me in the pits in front of his spot. The first couple of times I remember my Dad breaking the filters off of his cigs, putting them in my ears to use as ear plugs😂 We were there when Big Daddy Don Garlits top fueler blew over and was straight up to the sky then to the side and flipped atw over. The best one for me tho was 1992 when Bernstein broke the 300 mph record for the first time … Man, those were the days … Now I’m 50 wondering where all the time went. RIP Dad 🥲 My Dad was in Pomona CA right before he left for Vietnam after being drafted in 1969 and took his Mom as he thought he may never see her again … He said they literally let you stand almost w your toes on the track. He said the “Green Monster” made a run and it almost knocked you over… Said it was the coolest thing he had ever seen. Obviously my Dad did make it back (He married my Mom June 28,1969. They were married until he passed away 1/31/17 and my Mom passed 11/23/19 … Good memories❤
Wow......I honestly thought that KLM 747 was automatically No.1 but then happy to discover that my favorite the "Mad Dog"MD80 took the top spot and understandably so. In my opinion, one the reasons being Its two engines being mounted at the tail compared to on the wings of other jets, placed the crowds of people closer to the enormous thrust generated at take off. Its a pity that the MD 80s are being replaced with newer more fuel efficient aircraft.
I think that the jet stream of the two engines combined to a very strong jetstream - focused on the middle area - like you see in the video where in the middle jet blast the people roll down the beach and a few meters to both sides, the people stay nearly without any influence from the jet blast. In the middle you will have about 300 km / h speed of the jet-stream.
@@HvdH-Plane Yeah, exactly right. The close proximity of the two engines complimented each other and concentrated the air blast into a tighter area, instead of being spread out over a wider area like the 747 and other planes.
I was blessed to be there off a cruise ship the year before KLM stopped the B744 flights and got to see it land and take off. Even though I thought I was smart by being on the left away from the jet blast signs I still almost got blown off of my feet and there were hundreds of people hanging on to the fence. A once in a lifetime thing I am not sure I would do again. Good video and well done sir.
Seeing the thrilling reaction, well I can say that numbers do not determine experience indeed. Airbus A320-200 JetBlue - IAE V2527-A5 - mixed jet nozzle - colder blast - 27,500 lbf Boeing 737-700 UAL - CFM-56-7B24 - unmixed - slightly hotter - 24,200 lbf Boeing 757-200 DAL - P&W PW2037 - unmixed - smoky & hot - 37,800 lbf Boeing 757-200 AAL - RR RB211-535E4 - mixed - colder blast - 42,500 lbf Airbus A330-200 AAL - RR Trent772B - mixed - colder blast - 72,200 lbf Airbus A330-200 AFR - GE CF-6-80E1 - unmixed - leaner burn but still hot - 69,800 lbf Airbus A340-300 AFR - CFM56-5C4 - mixed - smoky - 34,000 lbf Boeing 747-400 KLM - GE CF-6-80C1B2 - unmixed - leaner burn but still hot - 59,800 lbf McDonnell-Douglas MD-80 INC - P&W JT8D-217C - mixed nozzle, low bypass turbofan, top roar noise - smoky & hot - 18,900 lbf (but engines placed in the tail makes it closer to its audience) If Boeing 777-300ER ever went there, the 115,500 lbf GE-90-115B should be labelled "mutilation hazard".
Thank you very much for your detailed Information. Regarding the MD 80 there is another effect, both jet streams are combined to a concentrated jet blast wall, like you can see on the water.
The #1 clip with the Insel Air flight was the best....looked like they were doing a brake stand on the end of the runway before finally starting their take-off. Enjoyed the video! :)
Thank you and that makes me happy, that you liked the video. With the insel Air you are right. Sometimes up to 15 seconds full power with the activated brakes. The island photograph Georgino called it: "The pilots like it doing a show".
The JT8D engines on the MD-80 don't spool up nearly as fast as the newer turbo fans. With the short runway they have to have max thrust prior to starting there roll as they use up a large amount of runway prior to rotation.

Danke für den tollen Kommentar und es freut mich, dass dir das Video gefällt. Für mich war es auch ein ganz tolles Erlebnis diese Aufnahmen in St. Maarten zu erstellen.
Very good video. Having been to SXM more times then I can remember, my number one was going to be Insel Air. Glad to see you agreed. Not sure why you slipped on the one Insel landing ( it wasn't an MD80, it was the short version ) lol. People need to know you can DIE playing that game though... One lady has..RIP
@@surfbug1 From what I understand, she lost her footing and got blown into a cement block (perhaps one of the road barriers)striking her head. She was standing at the fence on the airport side of the road, not on the beach, so when she was blown back, she was exposed to man-made objects rather than simply sand and water.
Any other aviation geeks notice that 2 of the landing shots of the Insel Air "MD 80s" (18:05 and 18:11) were actually Fokker F28s? Completely different aircraft, completely different manufacturer.
Great Job! My wife and I have been there a couple of times through cruises, used to be one of our favorites spots. There is a great Bar to the right of the runway (if your facing the runway) right on the Beach. Great place to relax after experiencing some of the landings and takeoffs. Thanks for posting!
Yeah, a bar to the right of the runway, perfect. BYE, BYE TIKI HUT, and 15 ft swells from jet blast, peoples shit floating in the bay, hysterical...lol
Thank you very much Roy and I'm glad you liked the video. Here's a link to another spectacular aviation footage from the neighbor island St. Barth: th-cam.com/video/dXYSQwIM8uM/w-d-xo.html The third most dangerous airport worldwide
A mysterious mystical experience.. Modern folk from around the world converge into this sacred spot to have their sins washed off; they call it the "wailing fence"
St. Maarten Jet Blast Issue: The habit of holding onto the airport fence to feel the jet blast is absurd! People have been killed doing this. However from watching a lot of aviation videos and having a long technical background, I se a possible solution.Given also that local auhtorities cannoit close the road as it would stand local residents, it might be feaible to exchange thst fence for a strong cement wall forther protected by engineered runway material on the runway side. This would have two potential effects: 1) The solid wall would sim;ly block the jet blast from the beachgoers ending their dangerous sport. 2) The engineered material might well serve to save lives and damage in the unusual event that a plane had to make an emergency landing coming in from ther mountain side. this is especially notable as a plane landing this way would have to make a fast vertical descemnt to avoid th mountains and still touch down early enough to have enough runway to stop, that especially if the emergency were to happen with concurrent problems, such as wet runway, reverse thruster problems and more. Also travel agents booking flights into Princess Juliana should be required to warn all passengers explicitly every time such a booking is done. also public notices in travel agencies, online etc. need to explicitly warn about the concern anbd when the wall is done, explain why theis was necessary to protect lives in spoite oif tourists not heeding previous warnings!
@@BrucexfromxCanada i agree and disagree with you. I agree that people should be warned (as if they aren't already lol) but I disagree on ending this "sport" as far more people are enjoying it than not. Ending it would also take away from some tourism. This appears to be somewhat of a well known tourist attraction and I myself am actually contemplating on breaking my rule of NO FLYING just to experience this. So to you I say: quit being a party pooper and live a little!
A real cool place to watch takeoffs and landings is Anchorage Alaska. Plus the scenery around the airport is awesome and there is a bike trail directly adjacent to the area where you sometimes see moose and even bears!😉👍😳
I always wondered if any pilots might give the crowds a little extra blast by holding brakes a few seconds longer as the engines spin up. On that last plane, the MD, it certainly seemed like the pilots did just that.
The blast is strong enough to keep the metal bird that is insanely heavy in the air for hours it can be faster than a tornado or hurricane just imagine what it can do to you.

Well it’s a huge and sometimes gigantic machine going up in the air or down on the ground. That’s always gonna be spectacular.
Ist das 'ne Sekte?
Love it! The Insel Air crew firewalled the throttles extra long before rolling out. Very cool!
Can’t believe a person thinks getting his eyes sand blasted with over 200 mph sand particles is fun.
Best ever best ever beast best ever compilation...it deserves more millions views over and over again !!

You are right
never underestimate that power of JT8D-218 on these MD 80’s planes … that engines easily my favorite ones beside these famous JT9D’s
Insel Air Pirates...
I'm sure more than one of those pilots held the breaks extra long, just to make sure the engines spool up to 100%, for safety of course.
Brakes
😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
They all did. Jets need to be 100% powered up in order for take off. So...
If they don't hold back and go for full power they will hit the mountain
@@darkmagician9916all did hold brakes at full power but some of them held the brake for extra seconds 😂

Agreed. I also work on the ramp, and much of what we do is specifically to avoid such situations. Only takes one tiny piece of FOD to lose an eye.

da kann man nichts mehr schreiben...
Einfach nur Großartig. Dieser Film ist nicht mehr zu Toppen.
Liebe Grüße Hans-Jürgen
Danke für den tollen Kommentar und es freut mich, dass dir das Video gefällt. Für mich war es auch ein ganz tolles Erlebnis diese Aufnahmen in St. Maarten zu erstellen.
This gives me holiday feelings
El número 1 bíen ganado. Gracias por el video. Excelente
Very good video. Having been to SXM more times then I can remember, my number one was going to be Insel Air. Glad to see you agreed. Not sure why you slipped on the one Insel landing ( it wasn't an MD80, it was the short version ) lol. People need to know you can DIE playing that game though... One lady has..RIP
Thank you for your praise. Insel Air got the most points in the vote and my experience in the jet blast at the fence also confirmed that.
true
How did the person die? Isn't it just wind, like a lot of it?!?!
@@surfbug1 From what I understand, she lost her footing and got blown into a cement block (perhaps one of the road barriers)striking her head. She was standing at the fence on the airport side of the road, not on the beach, so when she was blown back, she was exposed to man-made objects rather than simply sand and water.
Gostei muito do vídeo
Estoy muy feliz por eso y muchas gracias por el COMENTARIO
8:51 look at the amount of creasing in that body
A excellent job,good photography
Many thanks for your praise and this video was a lot of work, but it was worth it.
Great editing
Thanks and this video was by far the biggest effort to create it
Какая же красота.... ❤
Да, это
Any other aviation geeks notice that 2 of the landing shots of the Insel Air "MD 80s" (18:05 and 18:11) were actually Fokker F28s? Completely different aircraft, completely different manufacturer.
Jaja ver funny, great video!
Thank you
Great Job! My wife and I have been there a couple of times through cruises, used to be one of our favorites spots. There is a great Bar to the right of the runway (if your facing the runway) right on the Beach. Great place to relax after experiencing some of the landings and takeoffs. Thanks for posting!
Many thanks for your praise and it is a unique place.
Yeah, a bar to the right of the runway, perfect. BYE, BYE TIKI HUT, and 15 ft swells from jet blast, peoples shit floating in the bay, hysterical...lol
I was also there several yes ago and the bar at that time was a Steelers bar
What a beautiful thing to do on your holiday. 😀
Yes, you are absolutely right
Amazing shots Thanks
Thank you very much Roy and I'm glad you liked the video. Here's a link to another spectacular aviation footage from the neighbor island St. Barth:

The third most dangerous airport worldwide
One of the best comprehensive videos on mojo beach. CUDOS !
Thank you very much for your praise
A mysterious mystical experience..
Modern folk from around the world converge into this sacred spot to have their sins washed off; they call it the "wailing fence"
Very good!
Lol
St. Maarten Jet Blast Issue:
The habit of holding onto the airport fence to feel the jet blast is absurd! People have been killed doing this.
However from watching a lot of aviation videos and having a long technical background, I se a possible solution.Given also that local auhtorities cannoit close the road as it would stand local residents, it might be feaible to exchange thst fence for a strong cement wall forther protected by engineered runway material on the runway side.
This would have two potential effects:
1) The solid wall would sim;ly block the jet blast from the beachgoers ending their dangerous sport.
2) The engineered material might well serve to save lives and damage in the unusual event that a plane had to make an emergency landing coming in from ther mountain side. this is especially notable as a plane landing this way would have to make a fast vertical descemnt to avoid th mountains and still touch down early enough to have enough runway to stop, that especially if the emergency were to happen with concurrent problems, such as wet runway, reverse thruster problems and more.
Also travel agents booking flights into Princess Juliana should be required to warn all passengers explicitly every time such a booking is done. also public notices in travel agencies, online etc. need to explicitly warn about the concern anbd when the wall is done, explain why theis was necessary to protect lives in spoite oif tourists not heeding previous warnings!
@@BrucexfromxCanada i agree and disagree with you. I agree that people should be warned (as if they aren't already lol) but I disagree on ending this "sport" as far more people are enjoying it than not. Ending it would also take away from some tourism. This appears to be somewhat of a well known tourist attraction and I myself am actually contemplating on breaking my rule of NO FLYING just to experience this.
So to you I say: quit being a party pooper and live a little!
@@BrucexfromxCanada you must live in a nanny state or country where the gov't tries to protect you from yourself.
Go have a little fun in life!
Fine video
Thank you, I'm very happy that you like this video
A real cool place to watch takeoffs and landings is Anchorage Alaska. Plus the scenery around the airport is awesome and there is a bike trail directly adjacent to the area where you sometimes see moose and even bears!😉👍😳
I miss Anchorage 🙂
I will be there soon I can’t wait. 😜
Do it and you will be impressed.
11:30
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
20:55 you're welcome!
Impressionnante vidéo .Décollage et atterrissage de ces monstres de l'air époustouflant . j'adore.
merci
Best to hit the afternoon take offs since most folks doing this stunt are drunk and it is so fun to watch!
Yeh when the pilots are drunk :)
@@martinh9671 IT'S REALLY ....
😍😍😍😍Impressive
Thank you and I‘m glad you like it
Endlich mal ein englischsprachiges Video, dass auch deutsche verstehen können 😜
Daumen rauf!
I sink se best German video about jet blasts. Sanks for se video 👍😊👌🏻
@@diesertimunddiefische7029 Du ju wond du sä sät sä spieker häs jörmenn äksent?
Very nice.
Thank you
Belo vídeo! Obrigado pela interação com os comentários inclusive as respostas em vários idiomas.
Great news bro... I like it...
Thank you
Beatiful
incredible place to watch planes
yes that is really true
11:30 well done, doing a slow replay here 😁
Thank you for your praise and it's true, but by 11:30 it's already slow motion
I don’t know who has more fun: pilots or the people....I guess the pilots...
I always wondered if any pilots might give the crowds a little extra blast by holding brakes a few seconds longer as the engines spin up.
On that last plane, the MD, it certainly seemed like the pilots did just that.
Was awesome!! Everyone should experience this thrill ride. Watch out..
The sand blast hurts
Pilots professionals! Respect!
much love
Gente con una notoria inclinación masoquista ._
Awesome camera work
Amazing video clip
Thank you very much and it was a lot of work too
Amazing how far back that blast goes. Those planes were at the end of the runway probably 3000 ft away and people still getting blasted.
Yes, that's realy amazing and I never have seen it before.
The blast is strong enough to keep the metal bird that is insanely heavy in the air for hours it can be faster than a tornado or hurricane just imagine what it can do to you.
Видео суппперрр спасибо
That MD, my god!!
With the nickname the Beast.
Fantastic !! :-)
I came due to the thumbnail 😉
Great thumbnail
11:29
best part
Well I absolutely enjoyed this and I never laughed so much. The last one Insel Air was the most hilarious and the best one indeed.
you are right.
I’ve never understood people wanting to be sand blasted by the jet engines. That runway is so short it’s amazing jumbo jets can get in and out.
cool
Thank you that you like it.
I love the flag lady ,she is so funny 😂
And fat. Nothing would blow that over!
@@sundancer4426 no she was small
sehr schön
Danke schön und es freut mich, dass dir das Video gefallen hat
