CRAZY MAD DOG APPROACH😮 ‘REVISED’ DESCRIPTION

[@piperhound]

ATC "can you confirm todays cargo" PILOT "balls of steel"

[@herenow6953]

Just outside Learmonth Airport, on the way to Exmouth, by the beach is a sign "Balls of Steel" - dating back to WW2 - large metal balls moored in the Gulf and used boats or barges during Operation Potshot - just made me think of this! Learmonth is a military and civilian airport - interesting place to fly through

How about oatmeal for brains.

[@piperhound]

I'll stick with my cells thanks​@@Steve757-fl1hd

[@StallionFX1]

🔥GREAT BALLS OF FIRE 🔥

[@diegovivas9955]

🤣🤣🤣

[@robnutek]

now thats the skills of a dc-9 pilot who's been round the block enough times. Amazing.

[@flopo3044]

MD 80

[@mrkeogh]

The gasping at the start absolutely makes this video 😂

[@mikestewart8160]

yeah cause LOOK WHAT THE MD80 IS DOING!!!!111!

[@craigpennington1251]

Gotta be a carrier pilot. Nailed perfectly.

[@SnaxDesAvions]

that was too smooth tho

[@squaregoldfish]

"OK, nice straight approach to the runway" "No... that's just what they'll be expecting us to do"

[@Billybobble1]

Any Airplane! reference is always a stellar reference haha

Shirley you cant be serious

[@davefoord1259]

Bahaha nice flying.

@@David-f2s1x Who is this Shirley?

[@deantait8326]

Hot “Carrier” break . Obviously a retired Navy pilot

[@Mjr._Kong]

That was a boatload of AoA he carried into -- and through -- that flare. Only way to do that is to fly very precisely.

[@BigDukeX]

Former US Navy pilot..., just doing the normal carrier approach - and landing!

[@rickdee67]

Or Marine aviator

[@fecardona]

Just what i thought

[@solidlift]

Or former Navy C-9 Nightingale pilot

[@badlt5897]

YES. Those wings are made of GOLD!

[@oldmech619]

Speed control is everything

[@MrBobbyBrown2006]

That pilot knows his plane like the back of his hand

[@MarkAMMarrk]

Reminds me of 1980 when I worked on the ramp at LAX. I'm sitting on a belt-loader (on a break) and a PanAm 747 is just starting its takeoff roll, when another PanAm 747 (cargo) was coming in on the same runway. I thought "this will be interesting". Suddenly, the approaching plane made a 35-40 degree bank to the left, and landed perfectly on the other runway. Barely any time between the bank recovery and touchdown... it was amazing and I'll never forget it.

[@afterburner33]

If you listen to the ATC playback, the MD was on approach to 7, but was asked if they could take 33 by ATC due to the close trailing 747 behind them (who had raised concerns with ATC just prior about the spacing). The MD crew said they could take 33, and hence the late turn onto that runway.

[@Steve757-fl1hd]

Simple.. Sorry tower, no can do. We all try to help out the guy behind us or the tower, but in this instance - sorry my own butt comes first.

[@ethana763]

@@Steve757-fl1hd VTS parks on the north ramp so this saved them some taxiing time AND helps out another crew who might have to go around otherwise.

[@Steve757-fl1hd]

@@ethana763 so for a shorter taxi and to help out a guy behind you risk the crew, the cargo and the aircraft? And that makes perfect sense to you? Sorry, I never did something that dumb.

[@jonathan.westerling]

@@Steve757-fl1hd {Suggest listening to the recording on LiveATC.} Before accepting the clearance change, the crew asks for a wind check (it was 320 at 4) and then took the clearance to land on condition of a long landing on 33. Obviously they were comfortable with the request to keep their base leg for 33 north of 7R and make a very short final instead of continuing for 7R. Crew's discretion ended up benefiting the BigJet TV members watching live. I wonder if Everts' pilots have send this vid around on email :)

[@shakey2634]

Ever watch or fly the River approach into Washington National?

[@nickgray8667]

I am so happy you made a short of this approach and landing! It was a thing of beauty to behold!

[@lucaas]

Awesome approach! Would you be alright with me featuring it in Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description as before. Cheers!

[@BigJetTV]

Yes of course!

[@dwelvaart]

"Luckely no one's feelings was hurt during this inquiry"😁

[@paulmk5841]

This reminded me so much so much of the landings at Kai Tak (Hong Kong) back in the day. albeit at a lower altitude, I even looked for the checkered board. Nice catch Jerry.

[@thorogood8]

Sounds like Jerry was passing a bowling ball 🤣🤣 epic approach and landing 🛬 fair play ✈️✈️👌🏻👌🏻

[@hamshackleton]

Landed it like a Carrier pilot!

[@Chrisb8s]

I was going to say. Navy pilot

[@rickdee67]

@@Chrisb8s or Marine Aviator

[@ericdunn555]

Yep, look out side window, 90° turn, bang it down on the carrier deck; nice job, chap (or chapess, tbf).

[@kfagerstrom]

@@rickdee67 that would be a naval aviator as well technically

[@Simonize41]

Mad and silky smooth - the best of both worlds.😎Freight pilots are the best! What a shot Jerry!!👊🏻👍🏻

[@gcvincent3989]

The man knows his machine very well. Nice flying!

[@mscheuring70]

Always enjoy the Anchorage shows but this last one was the absolute best. Thanks Jerry & Gilly!

[@amoryll36]

"I heard Jerry's in Anchorage" "Really! Wait untill he sees this.....!" 😏

[@dpelpal]

😂😂😂

[@javacup912]

Great approach. I remember being in a DC9 cockpit during approaches like that. Mind you, all Mad Dogs, all cable driven flight controls, all hyd, except the rudder, though cable controlled, hyd operated. All manual. Thanks for the video

[@Marksy1974]

Mad Dog Pilot in A Mad Dog doing Mad Dog landing. Special bit of coverage. The I take of breath.. lol. Brilliant

[@Wal48]

Now there’s a pilot who’s got the whole flying thing sorted. Very competently flown.

[@Summitspeedfly]

My favorite thing to hear in a DC-9 - "Cleared for the visual"

[@Steve757-fl1hd]

More like cleared for the visual, circle to land 33 and you’re cleared to land 33. That’s how they say it!

[@Summitspeedfly]

@@Steve757-fl1hd - Only if you're on an IFR to visual. I've had clearances like "Cleared for visual on any runway."

[@mileshigh1321]

Beautifully executed ! Love DC-9 action, especially with those bucket type thrust reversers! Great catch BJTV !

[@Loc0motive]

Hotshot! That was awesome seeing that live. Thanks to and shoutout to Anchorage ANC.

[@onlyyou7171]

That's just bad ass!! Dc9 is absolutely a pig to turn like that. Great video catch.

[@steveread7372]

Like something from an air show😮amazing , well done Jerry , loved the recent anchorage shows , thankyou Jerry and Gilly for amazing efforts ❤️❤️

[@southwestmart]

Awesome, you managed to clip it. That was just epic to watch at the time, now saved for prosperity. Puts our pilots to shame, fair play to the pilot, balls of steel is an understatement! 😂

[@Clarebear3477]

What a boss landing!!

[@tonyf9076]

Now you can clearly see why they are called "maddogs" and not just the plane... Fecking awesome to watch 👍

[@rabh6746]

I was very lucky to see it live on the channel and it blew me away at the time😁That is seriously impressive piloting, I tried it myself in the sim but in the BAE 146 and I did manage it but it was so hard to make that tight turn😂

[@nickgray8667]

You did a great job getting her down, Rab. Fair play!

[@rabh6746]

haha basically me when I'm playing any flight sim game, save for the butter landing 😂 Thanks for the context and sharing J & G 👍

Great piloting and a pilot who knows exactly what the aeroplane is capable of. He or she was just enjoying it!

[@susierider55]

That was smooth…props to the pilot.

[@farrisrajab994]

Kick ass video. It's fun to watch an approach like this and seeing what MD-80's can do.

[@karenaerynhenney1259]

I can't stop watching this, I love Jerry's gasp at the beginning! Great catch though, incredible landing

[@stubby8663]

Wow now There's some Skill for ya, Enjoyed watching it live. Thank you so much for the Anchorage Shows Jerry & Gilly, can never get enough of them !

[@0101-s7v]

Amazing use of rudder and side-slip. That guy is awesome.

[@KC-RallyPlanes]

The gasp at the start. Gerry almost had a heart attack I’d say🤣🤣

[@PaddyPatrone]

The pilots at Everts are really somethkng else.

[@aviationmaneditsalt]

flippin eck! giving me kai tak vibes, I love it!

[@dawndaffern8175]

Watched it live. What a skill.

[@Linska495th]

I've never heard a noise like that from Jerry before. I'm going to make it my notification tone 😂

[@wafflesnfalafel1]

nice - hot shoe that bad boy. "Uh.. this is your captain speaking, ATC has asked us to use an alternate runway and, uh... hold on to your butts."

[@BeverleyGeorge-xv8vw]

Awesome! What a buzz pilots must get from landing like this

[@mattc.310]

Nailed it. Stabilized approach just before the numbers. Thanks for the clip.

[@lz8484]

I've been waiting to watch this footage! I wanted to hear you Jerry, where's your audio in this clip? 😂

[@KarenNothnagel]

Jerry, I thought you were going to choke on yr food. Still can't believe you caught that

[@moosepasshippie]

Wow! I have never seen anything larger than a Beach 19 do this approach.

[@henrys.6864]

No doubt an ex Navy pilot. 👍✈️

[@greggseager4632]

Seemed like a pretty dramatic "HOLD MY PEARLS" moment for the person filming. Pilot nailed it and held your pearls.

[@skysailor1951]

That is some sick pilot skills right there 😮

[@nigelarmstrong252]

Amazing catch, amazing piloting skill and a Jerry thinking oh effing hell, it's going to crash ! This clip will get millions of views in no time.

[@dmacd9058]

They sure looked smooth, and it sure looked fun!

[@PedroConejo1939]

(Some) passengers love an approach like that. Others scream the house down; the only in-between is those suffering frozen awareness. I know it was a cargo flight, but I'd a loved to be on that one. I love the Mad Dogs. Nearly all gone now.

[@davidsmart1819]

Superb bit of airmanship

[@go737]

Low speed. 30 bank angle seriously pro pilot

[@trev0074]

Ex airforce pilot, outstanding skill.

Good to see a real pilot from time to time

[@togasimulations245]

That one was literally a mad dawg

[@ray_wilton]

Had one like that once in a Ryanair into Bournemouth. 180 degree turn, over the fence, and on the ground!

[@dutchflats]

Back in the day, we used to make approaches like that all the time until they began to emphasize stabilized approach configuration and limited the minimums for low instrument circling approach procedures.

[@nickjh1968]

Fantastic airmanship, love it!

[@bigpapa870]

Dammn!, i would love to see the cabin view in that landing!!!

[@av8or971]

never gets old seeing that booster landing on its own. soo amazing

[@greglear708]

I've seen C-130's and C-141's perform the type of approach and landing. The C-141's have been gone for awhile but that was big airplane to perform that same circle to land maneuver.

[@deeharris1908]

Bloomin hek, that is 1 skilled pilot, something tells me he has done that b4

[@milesbassin]

The “cherry on top” is the left only reverser deployment that Jerry captured in the taxi. It was like a “wink” from the pilot.

[@kurtledesma5993]

Saw a TWA DC 9 land like that in STL in the 70's , I thought maybe he was running late or something
