As a crew member of a TBM , watching this is good training Glad it was just a simple messy fix and nothing life threatening Sorta

I also have a 41 Indian Chief with a 46 engine

Very nice!

Damn right

Absolutely beautiful ❤️

Excellent decision making.

Hell of a good landing. Pilot kept his cool. Looks like the mechanics had a real mess to clean up.

Way to clear the airspace. Would have been awful to see one of those birds go down over DC

Beautiful bike. I own a 2018 and very happy. I know there is nothing like the real deal Indian. I got the chance to ride a 48 chief.

Game info!??? Okkk fake! Was awesome bahahahaha as a fake! HAHAHA Well done though! 😅😆

It gives me chills every time i watch this

Look at it this way, you are still here to learn from your mistakes and that what matters, and so will a lot of other pilots learn from this and the fact you let us all see them may save someones life. So thank you.

Awesome! Epic!

Out of jealousy i have to say it……newbie rider, aint earned a bike like that yet, unfortunately money and entitlement and privileged can do that for for some

looked like a text book landing to me

What a bad ass bike.

Just saw this. The same thing happened to me in an M1A1 tank. 1500 PSI and pinhole leak = something that looks enough like smoke to cause my gunner to bail out by climbing over my face.

Great Job. From "yell" of "are we on fire" the pilot did not hesitate to begin an emergency landing. The pilot was in gangsta mode getting the plane ready for an impromptu landing. Buy this guy a beer.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_pneumonia

The oil mist appearing as smoke has injured many people and I have know twodifferent incidents. The first was a large industrial air conditioning compressor had a discharge pipe cut releasing the Freon / oil mixture into the air The engineer that investigated could not find the “fire” in the ship’s engine room but stayed inside looking. His lungs were coated with oil must interfering with the transfer of oxygen. The second was a large dam power plant. Same oil mist and many people were injured. The injury sounds like a disease Lipoid Pnuemonia But is actually an injury. I learned about this in 10 th grade at my first job filling scuba tanks and we always had to be careful our compressor had the correct oil and excellent maintenance and proper filters. Joe

THIS!!!! Outstanding job handling this emergency. Saved your crew and the bird. BZ!!!

Use 0.25x speed to read the top parts of the Lessons Learned. "Practice like you shoot, shoot like you practice" for sure! Good job on the divert---reflexes of NINJA!

Excellent procedures followed and as is always positive lessons have been taken from this. All round a good outcome for all concerned!

Man, I wish you'd been flying at Cocoa Beach last month instead of that moron who skipped the safety briefing. Great job.

Huh, I wonder if this is the same Avenger that ditched off the coast of Florida recently. Nice to have an airport close by.

Amazing video + conclusions + lessons learnt. It shows again that pre-flight briefing + emergency planning are key to getting the right response under pressure when there is no time to think. Question: was there a reason that you did not land on the runway center?

Those who lost their lives during WWII -and all wars- will always be remembered. Civilians included.

These planes were suicide for their pilots during WW II.

well done!

Wanna cut that engine?

I was standing in the park at the end of the runway at Reagan Airport when this happened. I recognized immediately what was going on and was thankful that this had a happy ending. Although it must have been disheartening to the pilot, he certainly must be proud of how he handled the emergency........ AWESOME JOB !!!!!

Awesome pilot save the day

It is Washington National, not "Reagan". Most pilots still call it "National".

Indian John!

We had a cockpit fire on a Convair 580 solid IFR. The radio rack is behind the pilot. We dawned our O2 and I noticed the radar was flashing. My copilot removed his O2 and seat belt and went to the radio rack, he could see the radar box smoking and removed it and put it in the galley behind the cockpit. He saved our lives as we could not shut down our electrical buss in the weather conditions we were in. We were able to land without further incident and went to the hospital to get checked out.

Re the criticism's. Better to fight a hydraulic leak on the ground than a fire in the air. Working for EAA here in Oshkosh, I see plenty of relatively benign issues and know that in the AIR...although not emergent, it's prudent to get it on the ground where an easy fix will have the bird flying in a "full up" status. JEB sends BZ.........

Thank You for what you do. I love these aircraft and love to see them flying. It's a hard job on you guys to keep them operational. In a situation like this you did just what you had to. Thanks

A corollary to the adage, "luck is when preparation meets opportunity." In this case it's, "survival is when preparation meets incident."

Great job. Saved himself and the plane!

How is the old man and bike doing in 2020

Good job, Captain !!!

I've watched this so many times, but it never gets old - the knowledge presented here is priceless, especially crewing a TBM. People ask me what to expect or what to look for, and I use this as an example of simply saying "anything" - or in ground training, learning "everything" that you can about these things. I'm sure you had quite a mess to clean up, but you made warbirds that much safer with the video so thanks! I think I've talked to most of you all about this in person at the air shows at this point. It's still cool to see Doris Mae out the window on the run in! It's kinda funny - not that pin-holes can be detected, but every time I check that line I think of this flight/video!

Great reaction to the emergency. I haven't read the book, Unbroken, but I have seen the film which I thoroughly enjoyed and made me think about the absolute hell Louis Zamperini and his fellow POWs endured from the Japanese soldiers.

Carter! I'm not constipated anymore! I have been fortunate to have never had an in flight emergency in my short time as a pilot. But that would have been my statement as I went home to change pants.

I plan to use this video as a metaphor with my NetOps team. The way this after-action is structured is a lesson unto itself.

Lucky it was 5606 and not Skydrol 500-B4, Skydrol when atomized is unbreathable and will melt plastic. Still a nasty mess to clean up. Great job on the emer landing!

Hahaha, ha HA

God Bless all of you true Warriors who served so My family has the freedom to speech vote and fly are buetifull flag in honor to all of you! Thank you!

Welcome home Wildcat!

Brilliant, good stuff
