New Zealand Air Force Bell UH-1 engine start. (Can any chopper expert explain why he is holding one of the rotors before he "cranks" it?)

Mostly aviation safety, with an appearance on Mayday - ACI: deviations include auto racing, true crime, and whatever I feel like.

- There are long flares and then thereĀ“s this... IndiaĀ“s PM arrival in Japan yesterday
- This has to be the most 1970s American transport Picture ever
- #OTD in 1980: Trans American Flight 209, a B-707, lands safely in Chicago (US) after crew was incapacitated by food poisoning. An ex-fighter pilot traveling as a passenger, along with a flight attendant, took control, supported by an ATC specialist and a former USAF captain.
- Textbook crosswind landing, filmed yesterday at S. Catarina (Brazil)
- This video is a good example of why we have "sterile cockpit rules"
- For people asking if this is real and not sim or AI, yes it is real, and happened in Madeira island, in 2023. A commentator recalled "if I landed like that IĀ“d be invited for a "coffeeless meeting by the chief pilot"
- #Breaking Two private warbirds, a B-17 and a P-63, collided in midair at the Wings Over Dallas airshow at Texas (US). So far no info about the number of people aboard. WARNING: Some viewers may find this video disturbing . Updates when possible
00:00 - This video explains clearly how the B-787 fuel switches work. To move from "run" to "cut off" you have to 1) pull it up and 2) push it down. If you touch it only, it wonĀ“t move. Kudos to the OP (canĀ“t find him)
00:00 - That poor crew went through hell and back. True heroes.We have updated our post on #J28243 to include local pressure (1025 hPa) altitude corrections for the ADS-B data. ADS-B data is only reported in Standard pressure (1013.25 hPa). flightradar24.com/blog/azerbaijaā¦
- With my poor eyesight, this was a SR-71 š šManatee mom with a baby Manatee on each side
00:00 - New video on the crash. Definitely a fire on the left wing
- I canĀ“t stress enough how impressive the F-35 VSTOL version is. I recall reading on the 90s on how the Harrier - despite a great combat record - had limitations in speed and load -this "successor" just raised the bar so much. (and looks badass)
- This was in 2019: "Dramatic footage shows daring moment skier is rescued in French Alps" (more info on 1st comment)
