Not necessarily. Look at Aeroflot Flight 593 - the airline's most experienced pilot was put in charge of their newest and most modern airliner but failed to read the manual. Simulator flights in the aftermath revealed that had the pilot let go of the controls, autopilot would have corrected the abnormality. With planes becoming more and more complex, older and more experienced doesn't always mean 'better'.

I'm not going to lie. I'd be exceptionally nervous if I boarded a plane and saw that the combined age between the pilot and co-pilot was 150 years old...! :) Chuck Yeager once said that the fighter pilot with the most experience would always win the dog fight in comparable fighters. Those guys nailed the landing which demonstrated their decades of flying experience. It's great to see guys their age still being valued and in demand. I'd also wager that their physicals for the commercial pilot licenses are rather extensive too.

Really nice to see that throttle handling on approach. He is compensating the idle thrust from engine 2 by further advancing the throttle for engine 1, all while leaving engine 3 and 4 where they should be. I think that is more difficult than it might seem at first. Especially if you consider the yaw moment as a result of the asymmetrical thrust whenever you advance or decrease a throttle lever. What a legend!

It was on a business trip so I got to go up the spiral stairs and fly on the upper deck. After that flight, I promised my self never to fly down stairs ever again if on a 747, and did so until 2004 when I semi retired from the bicycle industry. Again good work Sam.

@@damonlang1185 cycles is not too big of a problem for a testbed. Those frames don't make 5000 hrs/year nor hundreds of cycles. And of course engine manufacterers are cherry picking when they buy a "new" testbed since they will spend a lot of money to set it up for testing. Furthermore these testbeds operate on special or modified type certification I guess. Safety will always be valued, but it's just different then commercially operated frames transporting passengers all over the world.

Unfortunately, biofuel is kind of a scam. The most biofuels out there are energy negative, which means they need more energy to be produced than the energy they provide. It's a pity, because most people don't know that. The companies keep making them, because they can grab lucrative subsidies. There are various better synthetic alternatives out there.
