Sorry your engine blew up. Great video! Nice landing and again, any landing you can walk away from is a good one. Have a good day 🇬🇧👍 ps. I did my flight training at minuteman 6B6
Gotta always love a good pilot and controller who all stay calm and just do what they need to even in such a worrying situation. Hats off to everyone in this video.
Its incredible that in this day and age with modern general aviation aircraft and the super modern 1940s designed engines in them we have failures like this at such high rates.
Wow that engine was nuked. Great job dealing with the whole ordeal. My stress levels were up just watching and wondering how you were gonna land safely. I hope that never happens to you again. All the best!
Yup. Some airplanes can fly incredibly far with no engine power. You should watch some glider videos if you haven't seen them already. I find them fascinating.
I once flighted with a flight teacher. He turned of the engine intentionally to show me how god he could land a mashine without engine. I was very impressed but I did not know that this is kind of unusual in practice.
Excellent airmanship, Congratulations! That was a very catastrofale engine blow up. Should not have happened, perhaps the engine manufacturer can give you a refund?
You need to be careful, the P 38s had a bad habit of locking the elevator down with aerodynamic buffering near the speed of sound lol! A flaw in the original design! Maybe you should install the flitting on the wings between the wing and booms like Ole Kelly Johnson and the famed skunk works came up with lol! That flitting today is called vortex generators! Anyhow great job Ole school! I say that in a endearing way because I'm Ole school too! Awesome 👌
Speed can be converted to maneuverability or altitude, which can be converted, etc etc. To summarize...great job, and for sure viewing the engine. To take a line from a French movie (Le corniaud) looking the state of the engine, "it's sure it's going to run much less well"
