Just to clear something up from a retired A380 Captain. I know this case quite well since those were colleagues of mine. The weather there in Düsseldorf was extremely gusty with crosswinds over 30knts. If you have ever flown to DUS in this kind of weather you know that this one of the most challenging airports under those conditions! With the 380 you actually put YOURSELF over the centerline! This aircraft has the characteristic of pushing its tail onto the centerline once you decrab. Youn can clearly see it in this video, as the plane touches the runway, the main gear is on centerline.

G'day Kelsey, 'Fat Albert' doing the Jet Assisted Take Off is so cool. The JATO was further developed, and became a standard Herc option, so that fully laden C-130s could use extremely short, usually dirt, runways in war zones and third world countries. During JATO's development quite a few Hercs were pretty badly burnt until they got it right; however, they were never going to turn a C-130 into a Harrier 'Jump Jet' and this became somewhat obvious early in the testing.

A couple notes on the Aztec going off the end. The airport is St Barths in the Caribbean it requires training and a checkride with local French “FAA” before flying in or out. You get an actual stamped “license”. Or at least you did 25 years ago when I used to fly there. It’s a tricky place . To clear the hills requires a 14 degree visual glide path. The runway is about 1700 feet. And landing East (like this guy did) the runway has more than 2% downslope, making it very easy to float with even just a little extra speed. I really enjoy the videos👍

Very cool channel and the content is priceless for any pilot so thank you. Quick note on JATO and RATO, development dates back to the 1920's and the Germans actually made practical use of the system on various aircraft including the HE-111 etc during WWII. The Strategic Air Command (SAC) made almost routine use of these systems with early jet bombers such as the Boeing B-47 and others due to the underpowered nature of early jet engines during the 40's and 50's.Not trying to be critical, just providing a little boost to your assesment.

I don't think there's a safe point of attachment... No, JATO units didn't begin with the secret mission. They began during World War II. The USAF designed several aircraft with built-in JATO capability, including the C-130. C-130Es had JATO, and they were built in the late 1960s. Operation Credible Sport, on the other hand, was a joint project of the U.S. military in the second half of 1980 to prepare for a second rescue attempt of the hostages held in Iran. The contract called for two C-130H models to be modified to the proposed XFC-130H configuration. Rada airlines flies the Ilyushin Il-62, which boasts 4 × Soloviev D-30KU turbofan engines, 107.9 kN (24,300 lbf) thrust each. Pushing a 165,000 kg (363,763 lb) MGTOW, it has a thrust to weight ratio of 0.267. You know better than I would how that compares to the 747 you fly. They may not be overweight at all. They may simply be at MGTOW and needed to raise gear and flaps before developing any significant climb rate. An additional consideration is that US aircraft of that era had considerably more efficient airfoils. Greater lift with less drag. Rainfall usually carries at least some downfalling air mass along with it. Whether it's microburst strength or not is difficult to tell. Aside from the technology in the computers, if you notice the airspeed increasing but the GS decreasing, the instinctive reaction of most pilots on approach is to to pull back the throttles to maintain a consistent approach speed. If this is caused by a microburst, which aren't always accompanied by rain, you're only in the first have. The second half results in a shift to a tailwind, just at the wrong time, when you're pulling throttles back. We flew into one, textbook, at which point I told the PF, "add 15 knots the your approach speed for the microburst." He did, and sure enough, the tailwind on the backside dropped that down to zero extra. Safe landing. Our microburst was relatively mild. 15 kts isn't a set number. It varies by how much the IAS and GS are varying, and the calculation has to be done on the fly. That's what your electronics do for you, and thank goodness, as it removes a significant additional workload on final. Good analysis on the A380.

First beach parking is St Barts where I worked for a while. Our favourite hobby was watching landings from the bar and the tourists getting off the planes...great sport! This airport is nowhere near as crazy as Saba though. I landed there with a French consultant who was so terrified he refused to leave by plane. He got a charter boat instead and they got into serious trouble at sea and were lost for days before being rescued...hilarious. Keep up the good work mate...most entertaining content and your humour is superb...for an American 😂😎😉

Great video. The C-130 from the Blue Angels is using what is called JATO, or jet-assisted takeoff. That has been used by C-130 aircraft as far back as Vietnam on short and/or dangerous takeoffs. I saw this when I served there and it was indeed impressive.

In addition to microbursts producing strong downward motions (primarily from rain-cooled air), they can result in rapid changes in air speed with horizontal winds changing direction quickly from one side of the microburst to the other - a number of crashes were caused by microbursts at low altitudes before detection systems were designed and along with better pilot training
