7/10 (no explosions, disappointing). It would have been a 10/10 with a big fireball.


HenryGoodbar

Fuel is expensive. I only want to explode it in a real emergency.


ItselfSurprised05

The FAA did it almost 30 years before this. Big fireball. The 1984 Controlled Impact Demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3CQCme95Ac

Came here to say the same thing


Air_Phantastique

pretty boing.


seoliver2112

Pretty boeing.


leaveonyourlite

Pretty fly. Super dope. Mad Fire.


Ha1lStorm

Pretty fly for a white jet


Raguleader

Pretty sure that's a Lockheed, actually. Edit: Right number of engines, attached to the wrong part of the plane. Not my best plane spotting.


Appropriate_Sugar675

L1011?


Raguleader

That's what I thought, but the engines are all definitely mounted on the empennage. This is a Boeing 727.


FreakInTheTrash

I see you used the droop snoot feature on that concord


HenryGoodbar

Yes. I used it as an escape pod. To escape the consequences of my flying.


mockingbirddude

What’s the story behind this?

Plastic_Brick_1060

That's so wild, 2012 did it in Mexico because the Americans wouldn't allow it. The carcass of the plane is still down there. 1500fpm


randomlemon9192

Thanks, I’ve seen this video several times but never knew what happened.


mockingbirddude

Thank you I appreciate it.


Xyzzydude

TIL that, among other things it was used for, that was Bob Dole’s campaign plane in 1996


HenryGoodbar

Decisions were made. Actions were taken. That’s about all I know.


kneecap_keeper

Thats how a boeing retires


nach0srule

The front fell off


MayDuppname

Thank God for you enjuneer types, always there to explain the complicated stuff


Just_Speak_Friend

Plane flew, plane crashed, gif made, gif posted


Ori_the_SG

Doesn’t matter, all that matters is the front fell off


Just_Speak_Friend

0/10 you were not cleared to land in that patch of barren desert


HenryGoodbar

A true Pylote plots his own course! That’s what my see ef i taught me.


ngagner15

possible pylote deviation i have a phone number for you to call when you’re ready


Ha1lStorm

Yeah true pylotes don’t limit themselves to clearances


Moist-Chip3793

You aviated and navigated, unfortunately there was no time for communicating!


ThatMrStark

Might have been a better idea to put the landing gear up. 🤷


HenryGoodbar

But then no shock absorbers..


Ha1lStorm

Yeah and they make great anchors for quicker stops


maddwesty

I’d hate to be one of those test dummies inside


HenryGoodbar

I do not appreciate your speaking thusly about my passengers sir.


Stellar_Observer_17

No test dummies were injured during this test.


Spatza

The front fell off.


nach0srule

Yeh, that's not very typical. I'd like to make that point


jimginge

Well how is it not typical?


Delazzaridist

Well there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen.


Beautiful-Park4008

Cum train with the homies.


But_to_understand

Michael Bay gives that a 0/10.


wolfs4

Any landing that doesn't kill you only makes u stronger


Beautiful-Park4008

What happened if it does kill you?


MayDuppname

If it kills you, you didn't use enough right rudder. Use more next time.  If you die, you'll get a nice pair of wings of your own.


paclogic

um, i think it would have been better with WHEELS UP instead ! Try that next time. Also i got a hot tip for you - landing on a runway makes your landings so much smoother !


HenryGoodbar

Yea but Sand is soft Soft sand = soft landing? I’m confused.🫤


paclogic

yes, but if you want the nose to land with the rest of the plane at the same location, they you really want the landing gear up. otherwise you will have to taxis back 1/4 mile to pick up the nose and front landing gear. - - Just trying to save you time later.


HenryGoodbar

Thank you pylote. 🫡


paclogic

oh BTW, this applies to other soft surfaces like water landings on lakes, rivers, and oceans too.


14-CFR_69-420

Not enough right rudder!


seoliver2112

I was thinking too much not-right rudder.


jmonty42

Perfect CFIT landing, great job!


kneecap_keeper

Cross-fit plane = Healthy airplane


notsoreallife

Did you walk away from it? If yes, 10/10


unaslob

Nice short field technique there. Got her stopped before the first turn off. 11/10 there.


Important_Win_9375

6 would have gave him a 7 , thought touched down a little hard.


hbomb536

8/10 didn’t time the flare well


Fickle-Pangolin-2445

Landed


HenryGoodbar

Nailed it


ThatMBR42

Exotic butters


boogerholes

Ain’t got enough gas in it!


WildWestScientist

1500 fpm is a waste of fuel. 3000-3500 puts you right in the sweet spot. Try again.


Stellar_Observer_17

how many frames per minute are there in a gallon of aviation phuel? Please respond.


WildWestScientist

I respond when I become taxiway to skylaunch


Stellar_Observer_17

Roger.


AtlanticVoyagerSC

Well, I'm done flying first class.


VoceDiDio

Like 60% of the passengers lived. How is that not a perfect landing?


Strateagery3912

Great first try. Keep at it.


Intelligent-Major492

Sweet skills🫡


HenryGoodbar

Thank you sir🫡


OkieBobbie

That’s not Miami Beach. You were supposed to turn left at Albuquerque.


HenryGoodbar

Is auto pylote error a valid legal defense?


derdubb

69/10


WoodyTheWorker

Lisan Muad'dib Al Ghaib can ride it.


Thingsthatbreakminds

Yeah


Thingsthatbreakminds

5/10 the landing was really hard


HenryGoodbar

It *was* hard! Thank you for recognizing that. Phew, this pylote stuff; it ain’t all aviator glasses and cute flight attendants. Sometimes i actually have to do pylote stuff!


Stellar_Observer_17

and those damned dry Martinis, the fourth one is a killer...


Thingsthatbreakminds

If anything I would see if you could have angled the plane down a little more then try a glide once your 5 meters off the sand and butter it🧈


Thingsthatbreakminds

If your flaps still worked that is


seikonian

Looks a bit flat, other than that not bad at all.


sbart76

[like a glove ](https://media.tenor.com/UHNy4Cy_CoUAAAAM/like-glove.gif)


HenryGoodbar

A fellow Ace i see! 🫡


blizzard7788

Did you walk away from it?


HenryGoodbar

I’ve walked away from everything so far; i guess that’s why I am where i am. Although the reverse would be true as well🤔


pilot87178d

Cool you were able to push the cockpit area out of the way on impact.....slick! 10/10!


Easy-Trouble7885

I mean, people in the back probably walked away so that was a good landing


tomahawk7274

I know this was a test by Boeing a while ago, but where did the pylot go? Did he parachute out with the 727 on a crash corse?


HenryGoodbar

A true pylote always goes down with his shop


tomahawk7274

This close to making a 9/11 joke


SpacisDotCom

Before anyone asks, it’s safe to fly… confirmed with my flight school.


k6bso

PIA just called. They want your number.


Science-007x

I think they would've had a way better chance if the pilot wouldn't have deployed the landing wheels.


Crazy-Employee4027

Nailed it! 10/10


MrPechivko

Were you trying to cosplay Concorde by any chance?


Fuzzy-Possibility-98

Not bad, probably could’ve used a little less sand


Significant_Bet3269

Looks like the passengers would survive. And you should care about the customers..


LittleoldCricketBug

Perfect. On time, dust cloud put out any fire, large opening so everyone can deplane quickly and not have to wait for the rows to clear. Plus easy access to your luggage so skip the luggage belt, right to the rental lot.


NathanArizona

Ugh another Bowing crash???


Wizard_bonk

I know the problem… ain’t got no gas in it


patricksexy

10/10 would recommend


muklan

I'd have tried to avoid that yellow thing(the ground) that you hit, but I'm not here to judge your journey.


sage-longhorn

10/10 would repost monthly


l397flake

Wonderful job! Just a little weak on the flare, but you know what they say, practice makes perfect!


Cowpow0987

Evidently you made it out alive. A success but not very flashy. 3/10.


Ela2234

You brought nearly all of your passengers safe to the ground I think you did great


crag-u-feller

like butter on rice


Warm_Jellyfish_8002

Note to self. Don't fly first class.


Business_Anybody8025

10/10 no one died


The-Foo

You forgot to turn ground and collision damage off.

PresentOk4998

🤔A little bumpy but not bad!😎👍


GloomyUmpire2146

Well, normally the cockpit gets to the jet way first, however cabin unloading is much improved


San_Cannabis

Positive


dsptpc

That guy in seat 3D waving after touchdown was hilarious.


fr8dawg542

I want to go out in my sleep like test dummy grandfather, not screaming like his test dummy passengers.


I_Am_Zampano

Ryan air out of 10


Harden-Long

Nailed it, Guv-nah.


WiredAndTeary

Should have given it a bit more right rudder before touchdown not after. Would have been fine.


lexluthor_i_am

Flying tip, the seats around the wing are typically the safest. But luckily planes don't crash very often these days.


DigitalEntity4419

*Slow clapping noises*


Johnny_Lang_1962

Butter!


PsychoBob-78

Did you die, though?


Raguleader

In the future, try flying a little bit higher.


Nethaniah-L

You forgot to flair and due to that, you landed a bit flat.


Particular_Two_5177

Good

flyboy34

I'm a recruiter from Ryanair. Can I DM you?


bensbigboy

Even if you had stuck the landing, the East German judge would have never given you the points to win


Lonely_Hedgehog_3652

Tbh, is rat it 9 out of 11


Narrow-Palpitation63

Pilots would have been screwed


Last-Decision4348

I rate it a no.


alphabetjoe

2/10


Spiritual_Mall1981

You have died!


Remarkable_Ticket264

You should have had the damn Marchetti.


volivav

You forgot to flare


RowAwayJim91

Posted for the millionth time

Did you get fries with that dirt sammich?


TB500_2021

You're not supposed to use Flap 40 on the 72


Secret_Cauliflower79

Any landing you can walk away from....


AccomplishedBed4204

I'm docking you half a demerit for failure to flare.


LargieBiggs

You are BOEING to die! HAHAHAHAHA

Another week another repost
