That f-15 turn wasn’t too low. I used to work at the Jacksonville airport in the 90s when the Florida Air National Guard used F-16s for air interdiction. It was their jobs to meet Russian Bear bombers and such that were transiting down the coast to Cuba. So they’d get an alert and come screaming out of their secure area and down the shared runway. They’d be going in full afterburner down the runway, and just as they got good speed, roll to port about 100 feet up and fly right over the cargo ramp where I worked. Nothing like the feel and sound of their P&W F100 engine in afterburner. You first heard it, then felt it, then heard it again. It made you thankful that it was policy to wear hearing protection whenever you were on the ramp, even if you weren’t working an aircraft. But boy weren’t they awesome birds. You could see the pilot and even had one nod at me as he went flying by. **edited to make it meet, not meat. Doh!

*How they can get a horse into the cockpit* of that RCMP PC-12, let alone train horses to fly, is quite incredible. I suppose maybe it was a pony. Anyway, I'm so relieved to hear it wasn't injured - poor thing must have been terrified. Regarding the Iberia A330 that rejected its take-off: what do they do in that situation? It reminds me of when a gymnast stops in their run-up to a vault. I guess the pilots reassure the plane in the same way the coach reassures a gymnast - they stress that it's what they've trained for...they've done it hundreds of times...offer them a glass of water, then send them out to try again?

I was dumbfounded about your horse comment until the “RCMP” sunk into my sleep addled brain, then I pretty much choked on my coffee with laughter. Thank you for some great wake-up laughter! Ditto the Iberia Airbus … although that one is a little more subtle. I was thinking along the lines of “perhaps someone should explain to the pilots concepts like throttles, thrust, minimum takeoff speed, V-2, rotation, etc.,” but given Airbus products’ propensity to do what THEY want to do - regardless of pilot input - yours is the better comment. Thanks again for the humor!

When the notification popped up I just saw the first few words "dumbfounded about horse comment" and my first thought was, "oh here - this should be good"....

​@@RUBBER_BULLET Yes, as long as it serves its purpose of making people click on the film :)

[@CerberusTenshi]

​@@RUBBER_BULLET Yes, it is possible, but no pilot would willingly do so. It also depends on the airplane and what safety features it has. Most modern civilian airplanes won't let you bank further than a set degree. So unless you shut that safety off, at least in civial aircraft, you can't. But military jets as well as aerobatic aircraft don't have that feature so technically, you could bank them too hard.

[@fordpwrstroke7]

I gave it a thumbs up bc of the Piper and the quality of those shots

[@feynthefallen]

They were smart and turned the ignition off before the prop hit. So many gear up landings the prop is still spinning, not only destroying the prop (completely unnecessarily in a 2-bladed prop), but also potentially sending bits of prop flying hundreds of meters in all directions. Why leave the motor on? You gonna taxi sliding on your butt or what? You're going to crash-land whatever you do, so there's not much point to "being ready to do a go-around" either.

[@paulcantrell01451]

The prop isn't really the issue... It's the sudden stoppage on the engine that gets expensive... But that's still cheaper than losing the airframe because you were dicking around instead of concentrating on the landing...

[@ninjalectualx]

The prop was actually still spinning. It looked off-ish due to the wagon wheel effect but you can see the sudden stop when it hits the pavement

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@@paulcantrell01451you are correct. Except, this is a turbine engine and the prop is not directly driven by the engine and is freewheeling. So there won’t be a sudden stoppage of the engine.

[@davebowman6497]

​@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 Agree that the compressor+turbine combo would not stop abruptly, but what about the other turbine that drives the prop? Since there's a gearbox somewhere in between that turbine and the prop, that gearbox would experience the prop axle stopping while the turbine is still putting angular momentum on its axle going into the gearbox?

[@feynthefallen]

@@ninjalectualx No it wasn't. It was feathered and all but stationary, as evidenced by the fact that both lower blades are pushed outward and the upper blades are completely unblemished. Observe closely and put your head in gear before you run your mouth, mate. Saves you embarrassment.

[@ApoJake13]

I was in an airliner, going for takeoff down the runway, when all of the sudden, we were all lurched forward in our seats! Turns out the pilot received an alarm and made a split-decision to abort the takeoff. We then had to sit for several hours to allow the engines (brakes?) to cool and check on the alarm before we took off. We ended up taking off on the same plane, and I guess the alarm was something minor (pilot never really specified) but needless to say we were all pretty tense during that second takeoff, lol.

The no-nosegear landing was excellent. It looks like the pilot kept it teetering on the main gear long enough so that only the 4-bladed propeller got squished. (4 blades definitely a bonus, here; a 2-blader would have offered no support at rest.) Even the bottom of the engine cowling looks undamaged. Very nice - particulary as it's a manoeuvre that's almost impossible to practise. (The aircraft's loading/balance changes with every flight, so each landing is unique.)
