[@carolwilliams7052]

Back in the late 60s, I was the programmer/analyst/systems engineer responsible for the maintenance/repair provisioning of DC8s & 9s (including the "Big Bunny" Stretch-9). I worked on Century Blvd, overlooking the LAX North Runway, which was the only runway reinforced and long enough for the new 747s to land. I spent many hours on our rooftop vantage point observing them "float" in - - compared to other jets, they appeared to be traveling in slow motion. The 747 remains my favorite plane (although I did enjoy the tailcone airstair available on the DC9).

[@Igbon5]

Yeah, it's amazing how with just the right conditions they can seem to be just hanging up there in the air.

[@Qasibr]

That’s so cool @Carol, have you ever written about your experiences?

[@bobbowie5334]

That's because _LAX_ is right at sea level. You can also watch on _KZbin_ a 747 *fall out of the sky* on approach to a high-altitude airport in Afghanistan on a hot and humid day. It's all about air-density.

[@mikecowen6507]

@Carol Williams That was an amazing time to be working around LAX before much of the aerospace manufacturing (and Nash) went away.

[@TheTropic23]

I was a f/f, paramedic at MIA in the early 80’s. We would get to the airport early and wait to be escorted in. I would love to watch a 747 “float” in that landed around the same time in the morning. I would always just say it looked so “graceful “.

[@dcdortho]

Another analogy would be like walking on the moving walkway at the airport. We walk the same speed as we usually do but go faster because the walkway is carrying us along as well.

[@jacquelinejacobson6789]

Yes. Very similar!

[@GabesHacks]

The difference between air speed and ground speed is similar to the difference between ground speed and galactic speed. If you stand still, your ground speed is 0, but your galactic speed is 67,000 mph (the speed the earth orbits the sun). (I just made up the term "galactic speed")

[@robertshanahan6623]

Great point about either pilot being able to call a go-around. Came about from the Alitalia 404 crash after the FO initiated a go-around and the captain vetoed it.

[@RichTechGuy]

Last week, I was a passenger on a plane on final approach to STL and we did a go around just before we reached the runway. It was an odd feeling initially as we were about to touch and suddenly the engines spun up and we started climbing like a takeoff. Once we were back up and re-entered the approach pattern, the captain got on and said there was an obstruction on the runway. And that was my first go around experience.

A few months ago I flew with Thai Airways from Bangkok to Sydney which I do fairly regularly. I noticed we tracked south rather more west than usual in fact passing just east of Jakarta. However when crossing into South Australia quite far west of Sydney we turned almost due east and the ground speed picked up to just over 1,200 km/h - of course we had been picked up by the jet stream - and we arrived in Sydney a little before schedule. Well done Thai Airways! Saved fuel by flying a longer over the ground distance but a shorter time in the air, burning less fuel. Nice piece of navigation.

A few years back, I was a fueler at the airport in my town. We only got 1 British Airways (BA) 747 flight in a day, so only had 3 of us trained on fueling them. We also used FlightAware24 to keep track of when they were going to land so one of us could be there to greet it. One day, on my day to fuel BA, I was heading out to another flight when I say BA's 747 land...3 hours early. Our poor dispatcher had to rush to find somebody to fuel the flight I was heading for, and to find me a truck to go fuel BA. On an unrelated note, I once watched a Condor/Thomas Cook 767 touch down 2/3rds of the way down the runway, and take right back off before the nose wheel even touched.

There was no ground crew to greet us (because both airline and travel agency folded), I was too young to speak any English at the time, the only person, who spoke any foreign language refused to speak at all. Fortunately, we've managed to get in to a taxi with some Germans, who went to the same town we were supposed to go to and, luck would have it, our hotel wasn't far from theirs. Only the next day, our guide, who was supposed to meet us upon landing, showed up, saying, it never ever happened in twenty years of his experience, for a plane to arrive an hour early.

There was a crash in the late 40’s or early 50’s in South America, a plane arriving in Santiago Chile from Argentina disappeared after contacting airport control saying it was beginning its final descent. A search failed to find it. It was finally found in the early 2000’s when bits started melting out of a glacier 100 miles or so short of where the plane last reported its position. They had been in the jet stream without realising (the winds are called the jet stream in part because it was jet aircraft that confirmed there existence, though B-29’s and some airliner conversions of bombers encountered them occasionally) as the phenomenon wasn’t fully understood at the time and were navigating by dead reckoning as they had no ground sightings so descended too early and flew into a mountain, probably in cloud. The wreckage was buried by snow and not found until it reached the melting zone of the glacier.

Note that the pilot did advise we had enough fuel to make it to Hong Kong but not enough to hold in a pattern if there was traffic, so he played it safe and took on more fuel before proceeding to HK as it seems many others did as well.

When I was based in Dubai doing a flight to Casablanca, we flew up over Cyprus, Turkey, Greece, Italy and southern Spain and it took almost 11 hours (as opposed to 8h30m) due to the jetstream. The return leg the day after only took under 6 hours.

Love your new "subscribe" animation. Very creative 👍

Do you have a comment on the Pegasus runway overshoot in Istanbul? If there was ever a time for a Go Around this was it. Gusting tailwinds, 19 - 22 knots, crosswinds, and a touchdown in the last two-thirds of the runway. That landing was never going to be successful.

Could you make a video about the Airbus Maveric? Thanks, P.S: we are accustomed that a Mentour video includes your dog 🦮😀

im from east coast usa in Virginia, i have never flown before and am terrified of flying.... but i have been looking into traveling to aus because that's a place ive always wanted to visit i was hoping maybe you would see this comment and make a video on long haul flights as you call them because watching your videos has gave me a small sense of comfort in trying to step out of my comfort zone and take the trip!..... thanks again for all the extremely helpful and useful knowledge, and for the completely addicting videos!

[@JS-ob2xt]
