Speaking of "through the trees": We had a glider club nearby and I enjoyed paying for the tow to get a glider ride way back when. I did it a few times. There was a tree in line with the approach end of the grass runway. The angle of glide is very shallow in a glider, but I could swear we were going to hit the tree as we approached the runway. I knew we would not clear that tree and I braced for an impact. The body of the glider passed through the V-cut in the top of the tree and the wings went through the smaller branches and twigs. When we landed I told one of the other pilots that we actually hit the upper part of that tree. The fellow said, "Oh, Ed likes to fly through that tree. He does it all the time."

[@interfrastically]

I'm a 1600 hour glider pilot. I wouldn't fly with Ed... Unless the approach control devices (spoilers, air brakes or, more rarely flaps or a drogue chute) fail there's no need to make a shallow approach in a sailplane. In fact doing so is kind of dodgy. Even in the rare event of a failure such as that most gliders can slip fairly steeply.

Whe I was in Vietnam, one of our F100D pilots flew through a bamboo hut on the bank of the Mekong river and managed to get the plane back and safely land it. It was really a mess with pieces on bamboo and 2X4s sticking through and out of everywhere. One horizontal stabilizer was just about gone plus the leading edge slats were all bent up, but surprisingly functional. Most surprising was the damn J57 engine was still running but the pitot tube was bent up in front of the intake. He had no airspeed indicator and had to fly along side his buddy in the other fighter.

What actually happened(if I can do a synopsis) is he and his wingman were on a bombing run and were on the way back to Bien Hoa AB when a FAC called and asked if they still had any ammo in their cannons. They hadn't used them on the mission so they were still full. He told the FAC that and the FAC said there were some Sampans on the Mekong with VC in them. So they turned to the river and found 3 of them. The dived down and took out 2, then the pilot in the one plane circled around and dove down again but got too low and after firing on the Sampan he looked out his windshield and the hut was right in his path.He said he yanked back on the stick, throttled up and went right through the roof. I was the crewchief of that plane and when he taxied in I was aghast. I could hardly believe it still flew. I wished I had had my camera with me.

Our whole squadron had only got there from Homestead, Fl. in December 1965. None of our pilots had any combat experience before then, nor had we ground crews.

@74 Gear That wasn't an AA gun, just a standard Browning M2 .50 cal. Though it's primary role isn't to engage aircraft, it can most certainly be used to do so.

I am VERY excited to begin the process of becoming a commercial pilot, and spend a good portion of my down time binging your content; thanks for your hard work!

[@bryansimmons4550]

Actually, the .50 cal BMG was used to shoot at aircraft a lot, when it was mounted in the wings of WWII fighters or the fuselages and turrets of WWII bombers, and even beyond, like into the Korean War. The F-86 Sabre had six of them mounted in its nose, and I believe the F-100 had four of them mounted behind the nose air intake, even though the-100 was too late for Korean War deployment. The .50 cal M-2's and later M-3's were very effective at shooting down enemy planes.

[@cassandra2860]

@@bryansimmons4550 The M2 is an anti-most-things gun. It's found on tanks from WWII to the modern day, planes starting in the 30s, twin- or quad-mount AA guns, and many more. One on its own isn't specifically an AA gun, but nearly every Sherman, half-track, or jeep in WWII had one to shoot at aircraft, personnel, and light vehicles. Hope this helped

@@cassandra2860 Thanks for telling me what I have known for about 58 years or longer. I can't remember exactly when I became a student of American military firearms, but I am sure I was no older than 12. The M2 design closely follows that of the older M1919 in .30-06, which was also used by the U.S. military all the way up into the Vietnam War. The M1919 might still be in the U.S. inventory; who knows? No one here seems to be aware of the M-3 .50 cal BMG.

[@PTRRanger951]

Came here for this. The M2 isn’t an anti aircraft gun, but is used for low flying aircraft, just like any gun can and is.

[@ydenneki]

AA GUNS are usually 30mm shells that will explode at specific altitudes or time after firing to create a cloud of shrapnel in close proximity to, or in front of an aircraft. An M2 Browning Machine Gun fires standard belt-linked .50BMG ball ammo that can be used on ANYTHING in range ... vehicles, aircraft or people (There has been recorded instances of long-range [1+ mi, 1600+ m] SNIPER shots using an M2). There are a multitude of OTHER types of .50BMG rounds, including Armour Piercing (AP), Incendiary, Tracer, explosive (Raufoss HEIAP), API, APIT, Sabot Light Armour Penetrator (SLAP & SLAP-T), etc, but they're used almost exclusively in bolt-action or magazine-fed .50 cal Sniper/Anti-Material Rifles.

[@Tinfoil_Hardhat]

Back when it was designed, it was suitable for anti aircraft use. The US used 50 cal machineguns as anti aircraft weapons on ships until after WW2, and it was standard on fighters and bombers. Granted, usually mounted together so there are multiple guns firing at once.

[@bryanr8897]

A couple of things here. First off, when doing short field procedures on a semi-prepared surface, you DO NOT want to step on the brakes and apply max power. Your nose wheel is likely to dig into the soil and you can easily get stuck or damage it. Second, some aircraft holding procedures have you drop your flaps. This is because those aircraft are more efficient in that setting. In my experience for those aircraft, the flap setting for holding is the same as takeoff flaps.

[@authenticrebuilds9247]

I think that will depend on the plane, My cherokee 180s blade is closer to the ground than my friends 172 but I still throttle up before letting the brakes release.

Im currently active duty army (combat arms) and have some experience with the M2 (a .50 cal anti vehicle weapon system) which is what was seen here. From the looks of it, only one round managed to strike the engine. The fact that ot caught fire and did not disintegrate was accurate. Especially seeing as it wasnt a 25 mm (or larger. Anti air gun trucks/emplacements typically use 30-40mm rounds) there should have been a very visible base ball sized hole however.

American Made features some of the best footage of the Piper Aerostar. Barry Seal was the youngest 747 Captain at the age of 29. Cruise' movies are exciting, but come at a cost. Two pilots lost their lives filming American Made, and one lost his life filming the F-14 flat spin sequence in Top Gun. It was famous Hollywood and airshow pilot Art Scholl.

Re: the holiday inn; that's kind of the joke here, in the 70s, the holiday inn was not exactly the budget hotel it is today. It was never the four seasons, but it was a nice brand with a fun reputation

[@christosvoskresye]

Not really. In the 70's the Holiday Inn was a moderate, mid-scale motel. Then it went into a decline and became pretty sketchy in the 1980's, while Day's Inn was a reliable, moderate, mid-scale motel. Then Day's Inn went into a decline -- I think the last time I stayed there, I had to call the manager because there were soiled sheets on the bed -- and Holiday Inn bounced back to become actually a little upscale. But at any given time, regardless of the general reputation of the chain, a specific hotel might be cleaner or dirtier, calmer or wilder than one might expect. The statement in the movie was about a SPECIFIC Holiday Inn, one apparently attached to a cocktail bar.

[@dpsamu2000]

I remember in the 70s a Holiday Inn that was notorious as a place where local New Orleans hookers would go when times were slow because there were always travelers in the bar looking to get some. Nowadays it's truck stops.

8:27 There is an interesting instance in history, Jose Sanjurjo was a senior leader in the nationalist coup in Spain during the opening of the civil war. This is how he died. On 20 July 1936, Sanjurjo was killed in Estoril in a plane crash, when he tried to fly back to Spain. He chose to fly in a small biplane aircraft piloted by Juan Antonio Ansaldo. One of the main reasons for the crash was the heavy luggage that Sanjurjo insisted on bringing. Ansaldo had warned him that the load was too heavy, but Sanjurjo answered back: "I need to wear proper clothes as the new caudillo of Spain." Unaccountably, Sanjurjo chose to fly in Ansaldo's plane rather than a much larger and more suitable airplane that was available. The larger plane was an 8-passenger de Havilland Dragon Rapide, the same one which had transported Franco from the Canary Islands to Morocco. Sanjurjo, however, apparently preferred the drama of flying with a "daring aviator" such as Ansaldo (who himself survived the crash)

I am glad you liked the film. I was worried you would rip on it. Hollywood or not, I found the flic well paced and entertaining. I really don't enjoy huge budget FX movies that are all flash and not much plot.This one was fun. One of my uncles was a pilot, that ended his long career as a 747 Captain. Started as a teen in cadets. Only time I flew with him was about '74, when he was flying Twin Otters for Time Air, in Medicine Hat Alberta. - Cheers

Yes, as a pilot, have the cojones to tell the customer, “No, what you are asking will exceed the capabilities of the aircraft (or me!) and we are not going to attempt this today so that we can all sit down with our families tonight.” Kobe Bryant could still be sinking 3-pointers if his contract pilot had demurred on flying VFR in IMC weather.

[@MikeK2100]

What a trip your take is. Stomp on the breaks and rev was my favorite episode of Black Sheep as they were going to be deployed on an aircraft carrier. Of course no pilots want to blow the engine at the start, and they were told, "It will work past red line, and you know when it won't!" That got Pappy's squadron off the ground, then they were introduced to Paddles. "Hate to tell you guys, he's the boss!" At PAX my JSPL and I were totally interested, and we were informed that they got it right and even though we got catapults, pilots still like the edge. With going through the trees, figure the pilot had both sailing and arborist experience. A bush pilot came into play with this movie.

A fifty calibre round does not "rip an engine apart". It makes holes in it to be sure but it certainly could keep running depending on the location of the damage. For instance the rounds could take one magneto out leaving other operating. Source; Me, as a former Air Defence weaponry evaluation team member. Big round engines would keep running, sometime for quite a while, after hits that carried a piston and cylinder assembly away!

[@ceremcemaslan9274]

17:08 Regarding the "clean configuration", I have a theory: The jet can't assume that Barry would keep having circles on the ocean, so they have to keep Barry on sight all the time. Is it the real achievement for Barry to use the fuel as efficient as possible or making the jet to keep pace with that slow speed by forcing them introducing extra maneuvers (S turns or mini circles) so forcing the jet use enormous amount of fuel? For example, if Barry's plane has 3 hours of fuel for clean configuration (speed) and 2.5 hours of fuel for that low speed (configuration), jet has 3.5 hours of fuel at the speed of Barry's clean configuration and has no lower speed option, then when Barry slows down, jet will have to start making S turns or mini circles, so it will have 2 hours of flight time in reality because of introducing the extra drag. Does it sound plausible?

[@57thorns]

I think the main counter was not getting "slower" planes, but getting _two_ planes. It would be trivial to take turns refuelling, and since the customs planes just took off, and the drug runner just crossed the Gulf of Mexico, I suppose there is no question who runs out of fuel first, regardless of fuel consumption.

What you said about noises suddenly waking you up that most people wouldn't notice proved very true for my when I was aboard ships in the Navy. I'd suddenly wake up sometimes because the ventilation to our berthing had gone out or something, or we had changed speed and the mains throttled up. Just background hums and noises, if you weren't familiar with a ship you'd never notice, but suddenly every change (hear something where you didn't before, or vice versa) is obvious and audible to a person so attuned.

I operated my 500A Super 300 Twin Commander on medical missions in the Sierra Madre mountains. The village that we served, Via Hidalgo, (5000’ elevation) was a one way in and one way out crude 2000 dirt strip. All departures were early morning when temperatures were cool. On the take off, boots on the brakes, flaps at 10, lean to max rpm, spool up tight, release the brakes and launch With 600 HP at close to gross we climed like a screaming banshee. Our course of departure took us over inhospitable terrain. Because of this my procedure was to leave the gear extended until clear of the terrain. Reason being that i knew if I lost an engine the good engine would take us to the site of the crash. My pre launch decision in the event that I lost an engine, my good engine would come off line and we would become a glider with a very strong undercarriage. I made several operations in and out of this strip and it was always a challenge. For a pilot it was ALWAYS a BLAST. 😀

This was with a .50 cal machine gun. The bullets never hit anyone but ventilated the aircraft well. Like my friend says getting shot at is no big deal, but that all changes when you get hit, which I can attest to.
