Fighter Pilot Banks Too Hard 

That RCMP landing without nosegear looked perfect.

That Piper Cub footage was impressive

F-15 pilots are born to bank hard. Really, really hard.

Too hard for what? Wings stayed on didn't they?

The F15 shot was from the London, Ontario air show recently. The Red Arrows were also there.

The last one with the mist Brilliant!

Ah, aviation. A world where "only minor damage" will set you back up to $100K.

*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?

Previous episodes' titles: Pilot banks too steeply. Pilot banks too steep. Today's episode: Pilot banks too hard. A future episode: Pilot banks too hardly. None of which was true, by the way :)

I banked too hard when I was a teenager. Almost went blind.

You owe us 18 seconds more of aviation because the F-15 video was already in last week's 3 mins video.

I can't be the only one who thinks the last clip looks INSANELY similar to MSFS 2024, or am i?

Thanks for the J-3

Imagine if the F-15 pilot intentionally did it since they saw the people recording waiting for him to take off 💀

An Aerosucre takeoff.

Excellent video as always. Thank you..

2:18 MSFS2020 or real life? 😂

My comment is too exciting.

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.

Ihre Videos sind eine außergewöhnliche Kombination aus Professionalität, Qualität und hohem Engagement. Machen Sie weiter so!😃🚘✈️

The Eagle did NOT bank too hard! Stop with the hyperbole! And if you leave Newfoundland out, the Newfies get very insulted!

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!

Your titles are becoming increasingly annoying. All the last titles are somewhat "clickbaitey", I am no longer watching the newer videos because of that. I suggest you look at the stats and make some tests to see if it is really bumping your views up (longer term). Hope you can return to what it was, or similar. This video could have been called "Fighter pilot banks hard" instead...

I'm tempted to report this channel for its' titles. When it comes to "too" anything in flight, it ends in disaster. If a plane flies too low or turns too sharp or ascends too fast, very very poor outcome. "Too" is not interchangeable with "high performance."

Stupid title... false and misleading.

Banks to hard? How hard was the pilot suppose to bank? Please stop ruining good airplane videos with absolutely stupid titles…. It lowers the quality..

"Too" Hard? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

So, the F-15 exceeded its bank angle limit? Because that's what "too" means.

You probably should have said “Banks Too Low”

3 Minutes of Aviation Caption Rule: Add "too" just before the adverb. "Banks hard" becomes "Banks too hard," etc.

Quite artistic shots of the Piper. Very nice. And kudos to the RCMP pilot for setting it down in what appeared to be a textbook landing with a stuck nose gear.

There is no such thing as banking too hard when your thrust-to-weight ratio is greater than 1.

0:53 did that plane just do a vertical take off?

Piper Cub was very very nice

JAL had a completely salvageable landing there.....

That JAL 777 GA was not caused by the bounce. You can basically hear the "Wind Shear, Wind Shear" Master Caution going off in the cockpit from here. The GA was already in progress when the bounce happened. Those GEs take a few seconds to spool up.

If the bank was too hard, he'd end up in the grass, but he kept climbing , so all goody.

Because he stopped the engine, the propellors took the weight of the front end and the only damage was probably to the prop!

Thought the Piper Cub footage was a flight sim for a moment. Didn’t look real.

AWESOME vortices from the Cub! CAUTION WAKE TURBULENCE!

Hello , I would appreciate if everyone check out the full video of the first clip. The link is in the description. I didn’t think it was too hard at all it was so awesome to see. Thank you

SH! Eagle guy, Fighters are made to turn and burn, not fly like an airliner

And that piper departure was amazing with the vortices

Banks too hard = Pilot flying within parameters and flight plan.

In that first clip a Buccaneer would have flown beneath the F 15!

Bounce? Narita? Yeah, go around. Absolutely.

A fighter pilot banking too hard? Really?

How was that "too hard"?

1:35 - that is NOT minor damage, all prop strikes = 1/2 million dollar engine AND gearbox teardown - get your facts right

1:20 WOW that is a GOOD pilot

0:17 When fighter pilot bank too hard and should have credit union 💀

He banked just fine

Just imagine being on that Japanese flight that aborted the landing. I'm guessing alot of passengers had to change their underwear after that.

1:36 a prop strike is not minor damage. Anytime a propeller touches the ground, the engine has to be overhauled or replaced. Doesn't matter if the engine stops first.

RMPC pilot had the brains to shut the engine down prior to touchdown and saved that engine from major damage

The Piper vortex image was super cool...The Iberian run looked like the pilot was pushing to do 50 mph. Smart change of plans.

Watching the cub’s wingtip vortices reminds me of the days of crop spraying with the supercub and looking back at the end of the field to see where the drift was going

I'm sorry but the royal Canadian MOUNTED police... How the F have they got horse's to fly plains???..

It wasn't too hard, but nobody would've clicked on the video titled "Fighter Pilot Banks A Reasonable Amount"

ya.. the F-15 pilot quickly let of some bank.. and well done. I've seen this at Oshkosh, but not that low (initial bank)...

Those JA passengers are like - heads bouncing in your lap, followed by heads pinned against the seat back.

That first clip is from your video *_"Lufthansa A320 Engine Explodes On Takeoff"_* five days ago at the 48 second mark.

no idea why the JAL pilot went around. not a great landing but hardly a cause for backing out.

Too hard means that something should have broken or gone wrong... that is just banking hard... smh

Wow! That sweet slow landing of that PC-12 without the nose gear.. Nice! Also - That was some really beautiful video shots of the wingtip vortices at the end - Sweet!!

That Piper Cub pilot really enjoyed that moment, eh! Canuck Police landing must have been upsetting for the Pilot... nobody wants to damage their own Machiners. Eagle driver... just standard procedure. Those beasts are not meant to fly in a boring manner.

F15 pilot didn’t bank as hard as your implying, he has done that many times before….. just saying😂

I feel like the RCMP now go out of their way to use any form of transport that isn’t a horse.

Hard?? No RUD!! Go to the Mach-loop in Scotland - there you can see hard bankings!

PC12 "Minor damage" I guess is it relative but prop and engine strip, inspection and repair alone is North of $250,000. but I guess being a 2013 NG it is probably valued at 5-6 mil.

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.)

Passenger in the fighter jet @0:18 : “Ahhhhhhh….ok….I’m good here…please let me out !!!!! Pilot : “we’re still taking off moron” !

Did the F15 pilot suffer G-LOC? No? Then did not bank too hard. Thumbs down for the blatant clickbait title on video.

It is my belief that the pilot aborted the landing because he saw a Sasquatch in the woods 🦶🏿😵‍💫

That fighter jet is now 50 y.o. 50 years before that we were barely driving motorized vehicles.

1:25 Just Wow. All in a severe gale by the looks of it. I have never seen such a strange coincidence of bad circumstances create such a perfect outcome, didn't even bend the prop.

It's amazing how some of the most experienced pilots still forget about physics and control surfaces in a hard bank.

I’ve been in way more dicey landings than that… Try landing in Perth on a bad day… three goes to get it down… you know it’s a though one when the pilot comes across as rattled

It is ICE powered. Wtf is the point of this thing? Use a helicopter. What the world really needs right now is more high Co2 per Km mode of transport for the few. For fuck sake.

That JAL 777 had a whole lot of PIO!!! Jesus himself couldn't have done a better job with that PC-12. Hope the pilot got a BIG raise for the amount of money he saved in repairs with those skills! As for that Piper Cub .. that's the magic you get when you combine a really good pilot and a really good cinematographer!

The nose gear up landing on the Canadian aircraft is NOT minor damage. Anytime you get a prop strike on a gear up landing, you have to pull the engine and go thru it.

That 777 wasn’t really a bounce issue. It was mostly the wind keeping it from landing properly

A word to describe the piloting by the PC-12 is flawless; and J-3 Cub is smooth.

As a dude who flew fighters for a living…that F-15 driver didn’t “bank too hard” 🙄🙄🙄

that PC-12 landing was absolutely flawless, and evidently conducted by a skilled, steady minded (and handed) pilot. Saved themself, any passengers, the aircraft, and the runway. Marvelous

How many of those hard pulls on that Piper until the main wings crack and fold into a tangled mess???????

Wow, that PC-12 came down so gently the nose fairings didn't even touch the ground. Just supported on a non-rotating prop. Couldn't ask for more. Is this the best reason to run a 4-blade prop ever? Ha.

Banked hard, yes. Too hard, well, no. At least he climbed out. I watched one go across the tops of trees while "banking" at Norton AFB years ago.

The amount of bank is determined by velocity and control of slip and skid. So for THAT condition it was correct.

How about fighter pilot “banks hard”. I didn’t know you’ve flown an Eagle to determine what too hard! 🙄

Banks too hard is surely a bs title. It was made as its should be made.. He is still flying, so... But hey, you gotta do your living, I get it..

Scale this up to airliner size and imagine flying a smaller aircraft through those wig tip vortices - can you say wake turbulence?!

Baked too hard would be so theres no vertical component of lift. As he banked it went up. Hard landing wasnt that hard. If youre goung to continue clickbaiting ill have to stop watching - youre choice.

I steal others aviation videos and make up inaccurate clipbait titles for them, what do you do for a living?

We can land most aircraft now without pilot intervention. I’ve learned this from watching this bright screen in front of me .

That fighter pilot didn't bank too hard, that fighter pilot did exactly what the flight plan and exercise demanded.

The F-15 did not "bank too hard", or they would have crashed. That one was lightly loaded, would have had a TON of power-to-weight ration (probably 1.3 perhaps a little better) to help push it through the maneuver.

That feeling when you realize the pilot messed up badly enough to want a do-over.

Come on the J3 was badass! Being a tail wheel its harder to land than the F15, kudos thanks for the pictures.

Great clips as always, thanks for putting this together for us! :)
