My great uncle was the first American pilot to fly over the Himalayas at night during WW2. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service.
Fair
I flew over a cuckoo nest once.
@@bobbytables658 I call bullshit. your name is "Bobby" not "One"..
Wow
@@bobbytables658 me too
I used to live near the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California. There were times that the planes would get so low near the cars. It was awesome!
I have always read a lot about aviation. While my dad and I were on an airliner about 30 years ago, the jet hit some rough turbulence. My dad saw the wings flapping and went green. Attempting to comfort him, I told him "The wings of this craft can flap about 17.5 degrees before snapping off." He informed me that was not helping him, and he didn't want me to speak for the rest of the flight.
🤦🏻♀️😂😂😂👍
He was really scared I assume and I do not blame him for that. 🤔
"Went green"
Where are you from?
@@MetalFan10101 Have you never seen the green tint some people get when suddenly ill?

I'm gobsmacked they landed safely in an active volcano And weren't found for rescue for another two days! Absolutely amazing!!
I was thinking exactly the same thing with all the scientific monitoring of an active volcano why did it take 2 days
They didn't go two days without being discovered. It took two-ish days to get everyone out. And cost paramount pictures a lot of money.
It wasn't that they didn't know where they were, it was the fact that they were IN an active volcano caldera! Kinda tough to rescue people that close to a pool of HOT magma! Since aircraft were out of the question (like another helicopter), you couldn't just bring a ladder up there, chuck it down and call it a day. Also in addition to heat, you have swirling air currents/winds with dangerous/deadly gases! And then, on top of everything, you have an active volcano that could blow at any time! So, yeah, not your everyday rescue op.
There is a podcast called Against the Odds did a great show about this incident.
they should make a semi documentary movie about this
I remember the 2010 volcanic eruption and the no flying allowed. I was working I a nursery at the time, and it was so quiet when we were out in the garden! It was really Eerie and odd. You don't realise how often a plane flies over till its not there.
14:28 in this segment, we could also include Gibraltar Airport because a motorway is crossing the runway, Thimphu Airport in Bhutan because of it's geography
Thimphu I agree with. Gibraltar though, not so much. HGVs aren't all too common on Winston Churchill Avenue (the road crossing LXGB). Any car wouldn't do much to an aircraft like an A320, and if security noticed someone attempting to cross during landing for example, they could either order ATC to call for a go around, or, well... go straight though them. The only risk being parts ingested by the engines of course. Not a bad suggestion though
@@aiden_heafield5892 also their is red lights on the motorway, so vehicules can stop if an airplane was about to land, but it's still an unusual runway. Fair enough! 🤝
@@ihabammoury2879 yeah, normal people obey traffic laws. But, as with everything else, not everyone does. In car vs plane though... need I say anymore?
@@aiden_heafield5892 if they did cross well i don't they really smart people, lol :)
@@ihabammoury2879 agreed lol
3:07 Yes that would be the case for the jet fuel used in USA called Jet A (freezes at or below -40 °C or −40 °F), and the jet fuel almost the rest of the world uses called Jet A-1 (freezes at or below -47 °C or -53 °F).
However, there is also Jet-B (freezes at or below −60 °C or -76 °F) which is used for its enhanced cold-weather performance.
Generally a fuel additives like prist are put in the fuel as well
Mount Everest height just clicked to me. Just go outside, look up for a commercial plane and that's how tall it is. Wow.
The British airways flight that went through the volcano ash was such a heart stopper when you watch the ACI videos of it. Amazing piloting by the crew
The windshiel was sandblasted so the Could only see thrugh a small part in the windshield
Yeah that I think was in 1984 that happened
You would almost think they wanted to live.
@@reddune6185 doubt they would have if they'd known we'd end up where we are now.
I don't fear flying. I fear crashing.
Me too.
You are a bold one.
Yes, it is generally not the fall that hurts you, but the sudden stop at the end.
You must be terrified of cars then
you must hate laggy computers
I am a pilot and I have never flown over any of these
Thankyou for spreading information BE Amazed. We need more people like you that spread information to new pilots and non pilots alike

While commercial flying holds no fears for me, as I regard it as a boring bus ride just with wings, I also always have ear problems. I get high internal pressure at higher altitudes, making me basically deaf until it clears.
I greatly enjoy flying on small planes, that stay lower in altitude.
Thats rough buddy
I'm the same way I love to fly. But flying commercial takes a toll on my ears. I am pretty much deaf and in pain for a few days after a flight. Small ones that fly under 10k feet are fine though
Please consider how flight deck and cabin crews must deal with these ear issues (if any!) every day of their entire careers, that can span decades, per individual in-sky airline worker. WHAT does account for their "immunity" from the issues that affect the rest of us mere "mortal" schlubs?? Plus, for the militaries, pilots must be expected to execute their workaday flying exercises as each and everyone of those exercises were a "piece of cake". Could you, "Revell",possibly believe that these people (professional flyers), somehow must be bred differently from the rest of us? They have ground-bound families, and, more or less "conventional" lives, just like the rest of us. Could some "slip of reason", have affected Orville Wright, that fateful day, when he soared to 30' above the ground for 13 seconds, about 119 years ago? And he accomplished this feat, just wearing his regular street clothes, with no helmet, nor body armor, nor pressure suit. Pressurization of an airline cabin does not affect me as much as it must affect you.
@@swithinbarclay4797 I suppose your body adjusts to these differences. You mention the Wright flight with no idea of what they were going to experience. When train travel started, there was concern that the passengers would not be able to get up and walk around. It's amazing to see how speed was of concern in the earliest times. It was something so new that their imaginations could not think of all the probabilities that could happen. And, this still concerns us today in any new experience with different modes of transport. I am glad that physics needs to continuously be studied and investigated in all new endeavors. And others are probably glad that I am not one of those physicists. (I have discalculia)

In June of 1966, my family was flying to New Jersey from Texas, Austin Texas to be exact. When JFK was killed in Dallas in 1963, Governor John Connally was also shot. The day we were flying out, suddenly there were men with guns on the runway. Then a black limo drove out and several people got out. While my father seldom went to NJ with us, this year he did. He leaned over and told us that one of the men was the Governor. He and his party took over the last few rows of seats and we were bumped into first class. It only takes an hour to fly from Austin to Dallas, but after we were in the air, one of Connally's people came up and invited my father and mother to met with them. It was because my father was known to the Governor. So, not exactly scary, but it seems that after being shot in '63, Connally always flew in the back of planes - at least while he was still Governor.
FYI - the average air temperature at a height of 30,000 ft is about -45C, so a plane would not avoid an area just because the surface temperature could get that cold. Fuel tanks are insulated.
And and BA 777 encountered highly unusual cruise temps around -70°c above the european part of Russia, which formed fuel pellets that eventually blocked the supply line.
Fuel tanks are not insulated. At airline cruise levels, the coldest temperature over a given area is usually at the tropopause. The height and temperature of the tropopause vary. Height is generally lower in polar regions and higher in equatorial regions. Lowest temperatures are usually found in equatorial areas well above the flight levels used by airliners. Depending on performance capability, at high latitudes it may then be possible to climb into warmer air to counter fuel freezing. Other options such as increasing Mach No [higher compression of the air = higher temperature], descending or re-routing are also possible, but lead to greater fuel burn rate and the possibility of not reaching the scheduled destination airport.
Just left basically the same comment, then I saw yours 😂
I think they fixed this issue, where small bits of fuel get's frozen en clog up the the filter, they made the metalic filter staggered instead of flush so fuel could still go through and frozen bits stuck got time to melt down by the fuel brushing alongside it.
FYI… your completely wrong.
I loved your pronunciations! No idea if they were correct (I know the Icelandic volcano isn’t) but you said it with such authority and confidence and so quickly, you deserve applause 👏👏👏👏👏😄
I agree! His is one of the absolute BEST voices for these humorous like videos, as well as his graphics add ons!
To add to this professionalism, he does not use those stupid annoying dolphin noises or dubbed in audio!💕🇨🇦
I'm pretty sure I've heard him say some Welsh names too. That takes courage lol
The Icelandic volcano's pronounciation was very creative 😂😊
You are complimenting software, not a person. I noticed one common English word (see if you can spot it near 2:52) that this video mis-pronounced, which is another clue that this is software speaking, not a person. In any case, the name spoken by this software around 4:24 was hilarious. Another hilarious sign of the author not knowing English was @4:45. "That's the third highest layer out of five." It's also the third lowest layer out of five. It's a rather meaningless statistic. I couldn't make it half way through this video because of my intolerance for computer-generated voices and bad logic and grammar.
@@TheNameOfJesus Which word at 2:52? They seemed o.k. but there is 1 word throughout the whole video that is mispronounced so there are some.

3:26 this led to major redesigns in how anti-ice works in aircraft. For anyone who wanted to know 😅

I have flown over the Pu'u'o'o crater. Granted it was inactive at the time, but the weather was bad and making the controls very shaky. It was also the same day as Kobe Bryant's death!
I was actually on one of the tours over Kilauea, it was amazing! When flying over the summit, I could feel the heat coming up through the floor of the helicopter.

There are some aircraft (like some A340s) that actually have the same oxygen bottles for passengers that the pilots have, as the chemical oxygen generators don’t last long enough to descend. Qantas 747s had these too, because one of them blew up and, ironically, caused a rapid depressurisation, so some aircraft do fly over the Himalayas out of necessity.
Poor passengers are crew of that fatal flight... 😢😢😢
@@minakatsama2014 the Qantas flight landed safely at Manila airport.
Most long range aircraft utilise gaseous oxygen to provide a longer supply time. While the bottles are similar, the pilot/passenger systems are separate. Passenger chemical oxygen generators are fitted instead of the gaseous system as a manufacturer option on some aircraft depending on operational requirements - it is a bit cheaper and lighter. With only approximately 22mins of oxygen supply, chemically equipped aircraft could not descend to a safe unpressurised cabin altitude if over widespread high terrain such as the Himalayas. They do not fly there.
The airport at Gibraltar has a road across the middle of the runway.
Note the road has stop lights controlled by the control tower.
In most of these situations, even if there is an engine failure, most large jet planes like that have a glide ratio of 7:1 to 25:1, and pilots would just have to make an alternate landing at best glide speed.
Google “Gimli glider”!

I've always had a huge fear of flying and I'm wondering why I even clicked on this video if I knew it was only going to make my fear worse!
It's so much safer than being in a car. Your life could instantly end due to another driver.
Not only that, but when liquid gets near its freezing point, it starts to thicken and become more goopy. I can imagine that would cause some kind of problem with the engines
Think that's what happened to BA38
Ba38 had fuel that formed pellets due to nuclei of the hydrocarbon particulates. Diesel goes slushy around -20 depending on the additives. Avgas is good to -60, ba38 dropped to -70...
Princess Juliana airport is actually in the kingdom of the Netherlands, but not in the Netherlands, luckily klm stopped flying fish the 747 to Sint maarten
In 2015, my wife and I were flying to Florida, but we had to fly to Paris and get another flight from there to Florida. We got on the plane, took our seats and, when the plane took off, nearly panicked as the wheels came up! It sounded like the plane was going to fall apart. We weren't out of the woods yet, either. We were supposed to be met by someone, as my wife is disabled, and we were also on the other side of Paris airport from where our connecting flight was departing from! We got to the plane in time, luckily. The flight was nearly 10 and a half hours. We got to Florida around midnight. It was like walking into an oven when we went outside. While we were there, we got hit by a hurricane!
That's very unlucky for you
your sister?
yeah but did you die?
actually at the british airways flight 9 all four engines did start up but the crew tried to climb to around 15k feet when one of the engines failed again
But they managed to land safely at Jakarta

The pronounciating of those hard names is very complimenting!
I’m a retired Corporate Pilot and I’ve flown over Cuba at least 4 times , I’ve landed at St. Martin Airport many times and I’ve stood at the beach watching planes landing. It’s an awesome site. If you do proper planning there should be no issues. I’m now 71yo and I miss flying very much.
These were great! Thank you so much. Love your channel!♥️🦋
Its not what they want. Its what they are told to do. You can not just fly where ever you want with a flightplan. So its not up to the pilots, its just how fligtplans are made
Thanks for sharing this video, Be Amazed. 😎👍🏻
My uncle died in an airplane crash in the Himalayas.
RIP uncle. 💙
Sorry for your loss, if I was a pilot I would never fly over places like that
We flew into Mexico City once when Popocatapetl was erupting. The pilot did a bit of a loop to avoid the volcano as it was chucking lava bombs around. He apologised bit those on one side of the plane had a good view of it.
The problem with the Eyafjallajokull eruption wasn't lava but clouds of ash at high level across most of NW Europe. You do not want that stuff sucked into your engines.
I moved to Hawaii and had my drone, I usually check in the app for restricted air spaces and the place I went to was clear in the app, when I got there I see the NO DRONE signs
Those are put up by Karen’s.
The big chunk in America on the map is hilarious. first few airports up there so limited reason to fly other than puddle jump regionals from the mid sized cities to the...towns. second its all fly space for the US Air Force, I grew up in Wyoming and would watch the fighter jocks do aerial maneuvers, you could see the contrails all the time, sometimes they'd buzz low to the "deck" and sonic booms would shake the house. Area is frequented by Offutt, Malmstrom, Colorado Springs, Minot, Ellsworth, Mountain Home, Hill AFB. No FE Warren cause that's a missile base and has no runway.
Flying from Los Angeles to Las Vegas there are an amazing array of military installations that you cannot fly over. Need an 'air map' & they actually flash hugely bright lights at night with particular flashes to let you know what the runways are. This goes for municipal airports & military. You must to keep your wits about you, not to mention being aware of huge mountains to avoid you running into.
You could have mentioned the street crossing Gibraltar airport.
Actial interference between planes and trains happen from time to time at Egelsbach airfield south of Frankfurt. There are 4 electrified tracks east of the runway. Once a pilot managed to cut the cables of all 4 lines and crash the plane.
I am literally going to Arizona via plane, so thanks for making me tremble
Your plane ride will be safer than any car ride you take.
I have once had a flight over tibet in a small single prop plane. If there would have been an emergency landing, we would have been lost.
The worst flight experiences, i ever had were commercial russian domestic flights in the far east.
there are airports in tibetan cities
The new screencap is much better, I was like well of course they won't fly over the Himalayas!
Well sorry to be the party pooper BUT M.t Everest is the tallest mountain above sea-level. The tallest mountain in the world though is a mountain or volcano in Hawaii and it's halfway submerged.
I love flying
Never went flying yet, I plan to one day!
You mentioned turbulence a few times, and I went thru the worst air that probably 99% of people have never experienced. On an L1011 coming home to Indy from Las Vegas. We were over the Rocky Mountains when the plane became a roller coaster. Those up or without belts on had a very rough go. We were going up/down in 200 feet gulps. The oxygen mask actually deployed. They were swinging around so much it was hard to grab one. Some of the overhead bin doors opened and now luggage was added to the chaos. We descended and it got WORSE. Only by climbing above did we get out of it. We diverted to Denver Int and landed safely. They grounded the jet pending an inspection and they transferred us to another. It made the news in many places, on USA Today, the Times...all them did the story. After that, those little bumps you normally feel don't even phase me! lol I had a lifetime of turbulence in one go.
You want bumpy just fly over farmland on a 110* day in the Midwest at 1000ft in a Cessna.
You absolutely weren't going up and down by 200' like you think you were.
@@shawnshurtz9147 IDK...I am just going off what the crew said. Felt like more to be honest
Great Channel. Glad I found it!
Soon or if not now Disney will no longer have a lot of their perks and allowances. It will be a great to see them close down for good.
Couldn’t researchers use drones to test that theory of cold/warm air vortex on the mirny diamond mine? Like have several drones surround the outside recording then have one go into it? Not just that but use some sort of scientific instrument/tools we are not in the 1950’s so there has to be some sort of scientific tool to help?
I'm sure they could use drones, but there's an airport right on the edge of the mine. Can't be much of a problem if they're willing to build an airport right beside it.
@Rat Kindler the crap this guy spews is ridiculous. Warm air or thermals will make the plane go up not down as the airflow is moving upwards. Even if it does what he says a plane still wouldn't drive into the hole. That is just plane stupid to think
@@RatKindler drones don’t need an airport
@@jamesm3985 warm air has less lift, do some research , but I think the danger is the cold air down draft.
The temperature reason is interesting considering that when airliners are at cruise altitude they are flying in -40 F or colder!
This comes back to the engine use part. At lower altitudes the engines work harder to keep running with same force. At higher altitudes, plane engines run at the highest RPMs due to lower air density but work at higher efficiency. In other words, the engines are way less hot at lower temps than higher ones
i love all the videos made they have so much knowledge
Parts of major cities, especially NY City, aircraft are banned below certain levels of altitude as well. Wherever the President is, there are also temporary 'no-fly' zones put into place
Also, in higher points in the atmosphere, doesn't the air get thinner, thus planes needing more fuel to maintain altitude? Also, where i live in the UK we have had both volcanic ash and Saharan sand on our window sills and doors due to storms. Couldn't Copter Crater be fenced and filled with landfill?
Not sure about the higher fuel burn. The atmosphere is thinner at elevation thereby reducing drag which is why they fly at those heights.
Flying at higher elevations use less fuel because there is less air resistance.
I absolutely adore flying and everything airplane related. But I would not feel comfy if my plane's route would go anywhere near that unpredictable North Korea 😮💨
Or China or Russia.
I’m super impressed with how perfectly you pronounced those names-!! 👏🏻👏🏻
He got Gisborne wrong.
Temperatures at 40,000 feet, a typical altitude for long range routes, run from -40 C to -60 C. Tibet is not different at that altitude.
I grew up flying. Our biological father was an Air Force pilot.
Our biological sister was afraid to fly. She thought if the engine shut off, they'd fall out of the sky. So, our biological father took her up and shut the engine off. To show her, airplanes have this thing called a glide ratio.
When I was having issues an a teenager. Going flying in our airplane. I'd look down at all those small cars and all those small people, and it would put into perspective of my issues.

Pu'u'o'o is such a good description of a giant volcano.
Mount Everest isn't the tallest mountain it ijust has the highest elevation. The tallest mountain is Mauna Kea from its under water base (key col level) to it's peak.
Mountains aren't tall they're high, a tree can be tall (as large height and thin).
Even worse was the phrase "tallest place in the world", mountains and the Tibetan plateau making tall even more of a nonsense
To me, measuring a mountain from its underwater base is like measuring a penis from the butt hole.
@@RobBCactive In any case, let me mention the highest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons on Mars (inactive), with a peak of 21.9 km (13.6 mi) above datum; 26 km (16 mi) local relief above plains

@@RobBCactive Doesn't help with any features on the other bodies smaller than Earth, though, for whatever that's worth.
There’s always a temporary flight restriction over launch facilities like the Kennedy Space Center during launches. On aeronautical charts, areas that are used for space launches have a rocket symbol by them.
Lots more launches now that SpacX and others are active, a couple of weeks ago there were several , some multiple on same day.

The British Airways captain had the best and most British announcement I've ever head.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain Eric Moody.
"We have a small problem. All four engines have failed. We're doing our utmost to get them going. I trust you're not in too much distress, and would the senior cabin crew member please come to the flight deck."
40% of Americans have a fear of flying 3 of those people are me. ( yes I have a 120% fear of flying)
Water in fuel is a major problem, but usually it’s just a foreign non flammable material in the fuel , as a mechanic in the middle one of my duties was to does fuel samples, which was mostly seeing how much water was in the fuel as due to pressure problems fuel tanks are vented so air with water vapor enter and condense in the fuel , sometimes I had samples that were half water and had to drain of gallons of fuel before I had acceptable fuel. ( the water is heavier than the fuel and the sample is taken from the bottom of the tank at a sump that hopefully collects all of the water. )
Im actually kinda curious, why would one be afraid of planes
@@ur.universalmemer if you have an experience with aircraft mechanics you know how one little problem can cause major consequences some are mechanical, some are aircrew error , some are due to the facilities at the airport some are due to ATC error, and some are due to multiple causes at once ( Tenerife 1977 583 fatalities from a collision on the runway)

The Tibetan plateau while Temps and updrafts do play a part, it's also if there was an emergency, the nearest diverting airport is often hours away, and there isn't any terrain where you could put the plane down with any success. If you were able to put your plane down, typically any rescue would be on foot.
Interesting content. Maho beach is nice for plane spotting. What about Gibraltar Airport that has a roadway that runs across a runway
Gisborn's ATC is also RTC (Railway Traffic Control).
At altitude on polar flights, the temperature outside the aircraft is routinely -70C or colder. So I’m dubious that pilots are afraid to fly above Tibet because it’s cold.
Agreed average Fahrenheit temperature at 39,000 ft was -58 below zero on a recent flight from California to Philippines so even in warm climates flights experience extreme atmosphere conditions at cruising altitude
In the summer of 1980 I was flying from San Francisco to Anchorage with a stop in Seattle. Unfortunately I have forgotten which airline although Northwest Airlines is a possibility, as their pilots often played the role of tour guide pointing out many features below over the PA system, especially on this route. It was a clear early evening flight, and in those days it was not at all unusual for airlines to fly mostly empty with very few passengers, so there may have been only 15 or 20 of us on this flight, possibly a 727 or similar plane.
Recall that the Mt. St. Helens eruption had occurred that May. As we headed towards Washington state, the pilot announced that he would give us a real treat and asked everyone to move to a window seat on the left side of the plane. At that point he put the plane into a steep, left banking 360° turn, giving us a clear view straight down into the massive crater left after Mt. St. Helens blew its top completely off. With being able to see into the jaw of this massive hole, while severely banked over in a commercial airliner like never before or since, it was the most thrilling plane ride I ever had in my life. Not to mention, in those days everyone got a three course hot meal with a split of wine and real silverware.
Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai wow who named it?
I remember the 2010 Iceland volcanic eruption. WWE had done a show in London and the superstars that were there had to stay there that week, so the Smackdown roster had to perform on both Raw and Smackdown that week.
Sir Mt. Everest lies in Nepal and not in Tibet. Please check your facts. You've alwasys been a good content creator so keep growing and keep posting such informative videos.
I’ve been to that beach in St. Maarten, it’s such a trip to see massive jets fly right overhead
There were a couple of fatalities, so 747's were not allowed to land there anymore because of the length of runway needed. They have since gone out of fashion in the flying industry.
Gisborne NZ, the rail line south got knocked out of use in either a storm or earthquake, so no long distance services to Gisborne , just the local train enthusiasts service , which would be periodicly run on an excursion . Same train line stops for trains at Wairoa , then it's road , or a much safer landing when flying .
The video was perfect.😁
Planes don't "actively fly", a plane is flown. Pilots make calculated decisions, not planes 🙈
I saw poop on the kabba. That bird was either unable to fly away, or it is not the only bird who does not worry about local concerns
6:30 WOW! Unbelievable skill by the crew.
Around the 5:00 mark with BA-9, and that volcanoe incident, id suggest folks watch the Mayday series, as when they covered that story a bigger and bit more terrifying story came to light. When the crew initially flew into the cloud they encountered St'Elmos fire, something attributed to flying into thunderstorms but which an airplanes radar can often detect, and either avoid or navigate through, but there in lays the achillies heel, the radar at that time (dont know if theres been a fix yet), could not detect volcanic ash and other dry particulates, making the ash cloud invisible to radar, and further invisible if your flying at night. Talk about yikes!
It's amazing how twice British airways took big risks, like freezing and volcanic ash, and yet there 0 casualties, incredible!
"Took risks" implies that they knew what was happening and that it was a bad idea, which, in both cases, they didn't.
Then there are temporary scary places, like hurricanes. Living in south Louisiana I've flown near enough to hurricanes to see how big and scary they look, for real (wasn't too happy to fly near Mt St Helens while there was still visible plume, either). Not sure to what altitude hurricanes can affect planes, but video inside the hurricane hunters' planes indicate you need a strong stomach and lack of rational fears.
The pronunciations of these places and is hilarious 😂
I got down here in a ufo 🛸 at a dock lake clearing back in 1983 February 17th 10 30 am
Yes interesting
6:10 - From an aircraft design engineer I worked with "the Boeing 747 has the glide path of a brick"...
i have a soaring pilots license myself and have been flying over and using thermals of these excavated mines multiple times. whilst it is true that the heated rising air has to come in form of colder air from somewhere its not quite true that it just works like a huge vacuum cleaner sucking everything in thats moving in the airspace above. usually those "air packets" as they are reffered to somewhat often are "sucked" in from all around the rising thermals. thats what you feel in form of light gusts at sunny days when e.g. stading on fields edges shifting color from brown wheat to green grass. those are detatchments of hot air pockets sitting close to the ground in darker areas through so called initiating bubblesle at an airflow breakaway edge in this case being the green grass field, resulting in the usable thermals. with that i dont want to say that you dont get any downwinds over these mines. you surely do and they can be dangerous if you dont know how to work with/ around them but once you pushed through the sinking air you are most likely to get a really steady and strong upwind to a hight between 700 and 2400 meters depending on the weather and time of day and with exceptional conditions maybe even more
I love the irony of the Mirny Mine segment talking about how planes never fly over it, when the centerline of runway 07/29 of the Mirny airport is within 100 meters of the open hole.
Honorable mention to Mount Salak, which has had a large number of accidents, causing it to be dubbed the "plane graveyard".
LOL, the part where it says PU,U,O,O (Poo-HOO-oh-OOH) I was bustin' out laughing.
The presidential protection one with the planes just flats out reminds me too much of the movie Olympus has Fallen. Don’t watch it if u hate blood, swearing, and death.
In phuket Thailand also have Beach where airplane land.
Even in our West, mountain waves can go 30 miles or so from the peaks. Turbulence can be nasty
Cuba does have aviation “lanes” for commercial planes to fly through; and the two Cessnas that were shot down were operated by “Hermanos al Rescate”, Brothers to the Rescue, who were flying from Miami over Havana to drop leaflets to Cuban nationals and the Cuban government shot them down on a repeat incursion.
good research
4:25 I reworded that part like 16 times and still can’t get enough
In the 1980s, Approach/Takeoffs at Bucharest, Romania could be fun. The runway butts up against a mountain, and the descent/takeoff feels hairy as hell! Hopefully, it's better than it feels
