So what happened to the downed plane? Did the coastgaurd fixed wing plane really circle him at 17,000 feet for 3 hours and then left? Didn't any helos come out and do anything? Are the guys in the liferaft still sat there waiting for somebody?
By now everybody in aviation world from that area should know flying from carli to hawai is impossible on a twin otter... unequipped with special inboard/onboard tanks... smh
At 4:14 SWA1600 is mistakenly projected as a Helicopter.. we sincerely apologise for the mistake
Thank you
Southwest doesn’t fly helicopters to Hawaii
A twin otter doesn't even have HALF the range, it barely has 1/3 the range to fly to Hawaii.
What am I missing here?
Fuel tanks
Ferry flight...additional temporary fuel tankage installed
@@ssnerd583 Aaah, yes, that makes sense.
The Southwest flight 1600 was a helicopter? That can go to 34,000 feet? Is that accurate?
Thats a mistake
Sincere apologies
Guys this accident occurred in 2023 both pilots were killed. Don't know why you even bothered posting it again on youtube!
Wish I would’ve read this comment first. 😢
Click-hungery it would appear.
