"I don't know how all these convicts know the schematics of this aircraft" Later in the movie, as they were going through Cyrus Grissom's cell, they find (amongst other troubling contraband) schematics of that plane. As the convicts seem to have a coordinated plan, it would stand to reason that where things were and how they worked was information that was passed between them during the planning stages, including this hatch.

Well observed. Although the one turning on the light was Nicolas Cage's character, who did not know about the plan.

Some pilots like Kelsey want to pretend like they have a hard job. So they say normal people can't fly and work a aircraft. But really it's super easy. A guy hijacked one not long ago and flew great just from playing flight simulators.

[@vbscript2]

@@clutchnixon5880 "Flew great?" You mean the ramp worker from Horizon who stole the Dash 8? The one who crashed it and died? Not sure that I'd call that "flying great." The only reason he even knew how to start the thing was that repositioning those exact aircraft (on the ground) was part of his job. Sure, someone with a decent amount of sim experience and who had on-the-job training for how to actually start and taxi the aircraft could taxi out to a runway, take off, and fly around visually for a while. Making a survivable landing, however, is a completely different story, unless they've either been trained in how to set up and enable the autoland system on that particular aircraft or they can get a trained pilot for that aircraft on the radio who can walk them through it. Someone who has never flown a plane before safely landing a Dash 8 (let alone a larger jet) by themselves without autoland is just not going to happen. There was a guy a while back who safely landed a smaller twin turboprop after the pilot died in flight... but that guy was a licensed private pilot with hundreds of hours.

[@Dark_LoreVT]

Not a pilot but do have some electrical background. I thought the part where they hooked the transponder to a lantern battery to be super ridiculous. Not only did the convict know which wires were the power supply of the transponder itself... But I also highly doubt that even if the transponder could operate off the 6 Volts DC a standard lantern battery provides.. Said battery would go dead rather quickly.

[@seraphina985]

Indeed pretty sure the avionics power supply on most aircraft is 24V DC certainly for larger aircraft seems to be fairly typical seems unlikely that it would be any lower given the equipment load. Hell even car electrical systems run on 12V and they have a significantly smaller electrical load for their equipment panels seems to me the current draw would be excessive to run all the avionics on such a low voltage.

[@dogwalker666]

Agreed those old torch batteries would not run for long powering a Transponder it also seemed to lack an antenna.

[@nancygonzalez2513]

The little box stenciled TRANSPONDER is not the transponder, it is just the transponder control module, where you enter your transponder code. No need to pull it out or hot wire it, just enter your desired code. Such Hollywood hok7m.

[@speed150mph]

You missed a big one Kelsey! The scene where they are flying away and where tower is tracking the other plane thinking it’s them. ATC can only identify a transponder by the code that they provide. If that transponder was set to standby then it wouldn’t exactly give an ident to the tower. On top of that, unless they were flying super low to the ground in a military style terrain hugging profile to avoid radar, ATC would still be tracking them on secondary radar. They wouldn’t have as accurate a picture without the info from the transponder and the refresh rate of the radar, but it would be good enough to vector fighters to intercept them, which I figure is what would happen if a plane full of convicts hijacked a plane.

[@TheAmazingLee01]

Something I was kind of surprised Kelsey didn't mention is that the scenic tours plane would probably be squawking 1200. I'm sure ATC would be more than a little confused why two IFF squawks were right on top of each other.

[@tirsden]

Unless I'm highly mistaken (which I easily could be), it seems the dude rigged a battery to the transponder, as I guess being disconnected from the plane, the transponder would have no power. No power would be an effective way to not get tracked. But I think the idea is that he wanted the transponder to be tracked, so the feds would be looking in the wrong place entirely (because of the little plane giving the hijacked plane's signal) instead of looking around as many places as possible or keeping the search near the last known location (because no signal).

Something you missed about the transponder scene, is the fact that he powered it with a 6V lantern battery, the DC bus in virtually every aircraft that isn't a single engine GA plane is 24V, there's no way you can power any 24V equipment with a 6V battery (you MIGHT get away with using an 18V power tool battery, but definitely not a 6V lantern battery) Edit: that scene at the end where the plane hit the hard rock guitar and ripped part of the wing off, that plane would immediately bank left and probably hit a building, the ailerons simply don't have enough authority to counteract that much asymmetric lift (especially when you only have 1 of them)

[@Streaky100001]

I'd also just like to say I disagree with your point about the wing not exploding when they say there's no fuel. Once you fuel an aircraft up for the first time you'll never get the fuel system totally dry again, short of thoroughly cleaning it out and leaving it to sit with the tanks open for an extended period. There will always be residual fuel in the tanks, even if there isn't sufficient to really register on the fuel gauge and isn't enough to keep an engine running. Arguably a tank which is pretty much drained of fuel like that is more of an explosion risk than one that is full of fuel. When the tank's full there isn't space for the fuel to evaporate and mix with oxygen, so all you have is liquid fuel, you could throw a match in it and nothing would happen. (I don't, of course, advise or condone trying this, nor do I take responsibility if you do) However when the tank is empty or nearly empty of fuel the residual fuel is able to evaporate and form an explosive mix with the air in the tank, throw a match in that and it's going to be a very bad day. Of course, if you're talking about the fire risk when a tank is ruptured, then sure, more fuel in a full tank means theres more fuel to leak out of the tank, mix with air outside the tank and burn, but that will be fuel burning, not exploding.

When I first saw this movie my heart was nearly broken at what they did to a perfectly beautiful Sabreliner. Looks like the T-39A.

I loved that aircraft. Loved working on it and loved flying on it as an enlisted crew member.

As a former writer for Hollywood, the Saberliner in the film is not the one they crashed/ripped to pieces. Sturios (especially back in the 90s) are not going to take a perfectly good and REAL airplane and tear it up. That's what the prop department is for (no pun regarding "prop" intended). ... and Hollywood is good at making "shell" vehicles that look like the real thing (planes and vintage Corvettes).

@74 Gear. You do see wires in the "Con Air" movie, Specifically, in your video, at 20:22, you can freeze frame and see a severed wire hanging from the tail section. Also, They don't state it in the movie, but landing on "The Strip" means a higher chance that the prisoners aboard the plane can escape in the confusion. If they'd landed at the Airport, they'd be in a secure location, and easier to round up. So that prisoner Pilot was full of it, and took advantage of the fact that Po had no knowledge of aviation. (Side note, Where the hell did he get a Vietnam "Grunt" style helmet in that plane?) Finally, Po is Ex US Army Ranger, so was probably deployed from similar Aircraft in his Airborne Training.

I’m not a pilot and I’ve only flown flight sims at work. I don’t know how similar the c123 is to the c130J but one of our flight sims is the cut out of an old c130 cockpit with “newish” panels and HDDs. In that sin there is enough room to step into the seat from the out side. Also our panels aren’t fastened with screws but rather a mechanism that you twist and it kind of latches. It’s actually pretty easy to manipulate, but it’s a lab and that might be for ease of hot swapping. I haven’t had the chance to hop onto one in the flight line yet but I hope to soon. Great videos, I enjoy watching them.

Remember any landing you can walk away from is a good landing

[@henryplett1201]

My best landing was the one I walked away from .Engine failure on a cropduster . And yes it takes fuel to make them burn which my one did . And yes dragging those wings through upsticles slows you down very fast . I stopped in half the usual landing distance.

When you asked "Where am I" I said Soaul. At least I was in the same country! Great video

[@timngim583]

Its the same. Incheon is the main airport to Seoul. They don't have anymore room in Seoul so they have to build the airport far out. But 99% of passengers into Incheon are heading to Seoul, not Incheon itself.

[@ronbaker5022]

5:48 "Is it realistic to take [the transponder] out and put it on another plane? Yeah." No. The transponder needs an antenna. It needs to be connected to an antenna on the (lower) surface of the plane. It won't work without an antenna. Also, most airplanes don't have anything to directly monitor the transponders in other airplanes. 10:01 There is virtually no way that ATC would be fooled that the twin Beach was the hijacked plane. The Beach would have its own transponder. And if it was under ATC control it would likely have its own unique squawk code. The hijacked plane would probably still give a primary return on radar. If you were looking for a hijacked plane one with a primary return and no transponder would be a prime suspect.

Hey Kelsey, love your Videos! You always say, there is no Explosion , when there is no More Gas in the tanks - but isnt there always vaporised gas left in the tanks that will ignite much easier then the gas itself? Thanks for your nice Videos and greetings from Germany!

[@16480287]

I don't know if any one else mentioned this but a Ercoupe uses the yoke to steer the nose wheel !Lacking rudder pedals, the Ercoupe was flown using only the control wheel. ... The control wheel controlled the pitch and the steering of the aircraft, both on the ground and in the air, simplifying control and coordinated turning and eliminating the need for rudder pedals.

It would be very short. There's allot of crane stuff in movies but I would have to pull from a ton of movies to make one video. It might be fun.

[@seraphina985]

@@dragthatsht Can't say that I really know anything about cranes but I did wonder whether or not something like that would have some kind of lockout on the arm itself to prevent accidental release while parked similar to those on some other types of heavy machinery. Just seems to me like something that would likely not be left entirely to a single brake given that is probably several tons of metal you don't want to go into freefall without warning.

At the Fresno, CA airport we had a young girl (15 or 16?) sneak onto the airfield, get into a king air, start the engines, and run it into a building. I don't think it's too difficult to get engines going on a lot of aircraft. Doing it safely and correctly is a bit more challenging.

There’s an Amazon prime movie called “7500” you should do a review on.

[@intorainbowzOG]

I watched that movie then told my husband that I thought he would enjoy 7500. It's about a hijacking. He said SPOILER ALERT and I laughed. Seriously. Everyone in aviation knows what 7500 means so it's not a spoiler.

[@rankavik2651]

There are no wires on the planes, they are operated with magic.

[@jaroslavsevcik3421]

Well, as you need some time to start the engine, you also need some time to start that crane. So unless it was sitting there up and running whole time, you could not just lower the arm immediately.

[@seraphina985]

Not really something that I'd know much about though can't help but wonder whether a piece of equipment like that would have some form of safety lockout in place when left parked like that. Seems like something that would justify having a backup restraining mechanism on the arm itself as a safety precaution given that arm seems more than capable of doing some serious damage if it were to accidentally go into freefall unexpectedly. Maybe some kind of safety pin or similar meant to be installed when not in use similar to those installed on a lot of large pieces of machinery to render them safe when not in use.

[@johnpage5924]

Actually u could that is a gantry crane so u just have to release the breaks and down goes boom just free spin the drum have seen it happen

[@johnpage5924]

Those style cranes raise and lower boom arm through draw works using wire drums and system of breaks the breaks are usually left engaged when not in use as this is but u can release them and the boom can free fall espcially if u have no power to operat the drums to control decent

Hi Kelsey! There are some aircraft types where you can get to your pilot seat via the outboard side. I remember on the MD11 it was very easy. Love the videos.

These movies made me think that aviation was a lot more complicated than it actually is and ever was lol , all the unnecessary switch touching 😄 really enjoy your videos .

[@77ronghosh]

This was a great hollywood vs reality. Was one of my favorite movie back in the days. Just a question, the transponder, after disconnecting and running it with a battery can it still transmit? . I mean It does not have any antenna and surely a hanging wire kept inside a plane won't have the strength of signal to show up on airport radar. What do you think?

[@antrillion]

I was just thinking the same thing. Also,doesn't it just send the code you entered into it? What help would that be to put on another plane? And if it did transmit successfully,the other plane would have two transponder signals. And... Doesn't the transponder get altitude and location information from other instruments in the plane?This disconnected xpdr would have no info to send out?

[@MrHiboost95]

Kelsey, Love the content! Keep up the great video's. And to add to strapping the transponder to a battery. Then to throw it into another aircraft. You would definitely have to have some sort of antenna. Also would need to be mounted outside of the aircraft for optimum range. Plus it almost looks like a battery that was used in a flashlight lanturn from back in the day. And those were those huge 6 volt batteries. I do believe the transponders are running off a 24 volt system. So how's that going to work? Hollywood does it again! 😉😀

[@williamkumley5135]

I used to work on that transponder model about 20 years ago. The one in the movie was just the control panel, the actual transponder is a slightly larger box somewhere else in the aircraft.
