The Beech 18, C195 and the red and white biplane (11:30) were masterclasses in how to land a tailwheel aircraft in a crosswind. The Spooky C-47 was also a greaser. Kudos.
Boy, was that washing machine conditions. There is some excellent piloting going on. Kudos to the Cessna 195 driver, those are very challenging to land in a crosswind.
There was one showings 5 months, so not sure about pilot's or aircraft's age. Maybe the flight hours the pilots have. Personally, I guess it's the aircraft's age.
Love watching them land and takeoff plus the sounds that go with that! Too bad the winds have to be a factor during this huge and popular event! Kudos to the pilots and engineers and control tower staff! Thanks for posting the videos! 👍✈️👍
I fly into Oshkosh almost every year, and landing has been met with heavy traffic and generally always a cross wind. Throw in a few thousand spectators and landings get interesting. My deepest respect to the tail wheel pilots.
Nice clips, good quality and nice camera work..Subscribed...shame you missed the money shot!......Quite Ironic since you got every single aircraft touching down apart from the Cessna 310 Gear Collapse, which is in the video title and probably the main reason people chose to watch another Oshkosh landing video!
Congrats on the airplane! Not sure of your flight expirience but Airventure can be pretty wild and it's a bad time to figure that out 10min out. Do lots of prep work, NOTAM's etc... it gets stressful for even experienced pilots. My first time going I drove in and got a feel for it without any added pressure. All the best, safe flying.
C310 gear collapse likely caused by broken actuating strut in forward area of gear well. A common occurence on 300 series Cessnas if the gear rigging procedure is not carried out precisely as written in the maintenance manual. The gear requires a spring preload on assembly.
Imagine waiting a year, spending a month getting ready, a week shining your airplane then finally arriving and losing her in front of your peers on arrival 😮 bad luck.
Best landings, the red/wht Culp Special, the first C-190 to land and the C-170, and all are the most demanding too fly and land in those conditions. The worst were the RVs which were floating because of excess speed as they flew toward their designated touchdown spot.
Ouch... I hope the crew of that last Cessna 310 got out of there unhurt. Hopefully nothing more than a few bruises. A whole bunch of airplane types here that I'd never even heard of! Love that beautiful shiny Beech D18S at 3:20.
Nice camera work! I watched arrivals on this day as well. I saw a Bird Dog do a ground loop. He wound up in the grass East of 36 right. This shut things down for a while.
The age of the planes is impressive. It is like Cuba with autos, the FAA regulatory certification process has strangled new planes unless you have $50 million dollars. Very sad, but we will see these airplanes for a long time as a result.
Flaps left down add drag and shorten run out. Retracting them puts more rubber on the runway to help with braking but some pilots don't like using brakes.
If anyone thinks that I would risk my plane or my safety simply to land at that event…you’re crazier than you look. There was some extremely stupid piloting going on.
@@shaunolinger964 He’s got a broken plane. Tell me exactly how smart that is just to attend an over crowded air show with GA pilots who in many cases have little experience flying in tight conditions much less weather conditions that are not favorable.
Come on, boys and girls - you need to improve your crosswind techniques. Only saw a handful of people retract the flaps after planting the mains. NO RV pilots! And yes, I was there with my 22 yr old RV.
Decathlon has higher negative G limits than the Citabrias. The Citabria is pretty much intended for positive G aerobatics only, with a negative limit of 2...whereas the decathlon can do -5. Also the "standard" Citabrias don't have oil/fuel systems designed for sustained inverted flight. Whereas all the decathlons do. The exception being the Citabria i own, which is a 7KCAB... The decathlon being an 8KCAB, you can kinda see it as the next step up. The decathlon like my 7KCAB is no flaps. But the decathlon has an even shorter wing, for better roll rate as well. I can't remember which. But one of the Citabria models does have flaps.. But that seems like ruining an amazing airplane to me. Lol, so I've never paid much attention to that model... They're wonderful airplanes, loads of fun to fly. Feel very solid in the air.. Not at all overly sensitive to control inputs, but will get moving around if you want them to.. Excellent aircraft for spin training, as it'll get into one, IF you want it to.. But it'll also get out of it without much effort either.
I see a lot of right rudder, and left wheel touching down first. I don't feel so bad now! My crosswind landings can be "adventurous", to quote my CFI. I just say they're "professionally firm". I thik many were carrying a bit too much flaps, they just kept floating on down the runway, while others got to log three or more landings!
At 1:29, is that the V tail N144R that nearly came to grief in your earlier video? Looks like it, but I only have a small screen laptop, so can't be sure. More excellent footage too, BTW! Very nice camera work.
