brettfavreify running in Chicago at night would be death defying

Running in Detroit at night would be Deaths Death defying

Running by Trump's White House would be crazy

It's the people's house actually. As it has always been no matter if it was Obama or Trump elected to serve by the people.

Nor any POTUS. The state's electors did, as our system of course is based on the electoral collage. Popular vote is nice to have, but of course nobody campaigns for the popular vote.

yvwic50 did the crew die?

He said he Witnessed a Fatal Crash =P. So they should answer your question.

Mattebubben maybe he's using alternative facts

From "Findery":"Monday, March 1, 1976. Lt. Col. Michael A. Love, 37, chief USAF test pilot on the Martin-Marietta X-24B program, is killed in the crash of an F-4C Phantom II on a dry lakebed at Edwards AFB, California, after take-off on a proficiency flight when his ejection seat malfunctions. Navigator Maj. E. B. Underwood, Jr. ejects before the crash and is hospitalized in stable condition".To clarify, I believe the cause of the crash was a hydraulic failure, not caused by the seat as the post alludes- the malfunction was the cause of death. I had just opened the back door of our shop (Weapons) to drive to the "hot gun line" and recover other F-4s returning from training flights, and the fireball of the crash erupted directly in front of me, probably around two miles away across the open plane of the lake bed. Incredibly, we were allowed to walk through the hangar where the wreckage was stored about a week later. The Phantom is a large fighter, but the largest piece remaining I compared to the size of a VW Beetle.'

My prayers to the family and to his fellow brothers.

Ryan Taylor With "peace setup" yes, with "combat setup" not. The smoke only appears when the engines aren't running on maximum temperature to operate them more sparingly and with less attrition. When the F4 is used in combat missions, the engines get a setup with higher temperatures and the smoke disappears due to the higher temperatures, the smut gets burned totally. In "peace setup", the afterburner has got the same effect and there is no smoke when it is used. ;)

+4TaktRollerNeinDanke it's a f4 phantom

In the german Airforce they call the F4 the "Friedensdiesel" (something like Peacediesel) because he trails so much smoke even if everything allright.

At idle (64-66% rpm), the J-79 wasn't very smoky. Take it up to 80% rpm or higher, and it smoked terribly. The ass-end was caked in soot. In Afterburner, no smoke. In the mid-1980s, USAF Phantom J-79 engines were modified to lessen the smoke. They burned hotter with a higher fuel flow, but the difference was night and day. The afterburner flame was no longer orange; low smokes burned almost blue. We only changed a motor when we had to, so for a couple of years, it was the norm to see Phantoms with one smoker, and one low-smoke. Because of the different limitations for the two type engines, a "L/S" (Low-Smoke) label was stuck above the gauges for that engine. The first time I saw a "low-smoke" F-4 on short final, I thought he had an engine out. (He had a smoker and a low-smoke) Prior to low-smokes, you could see an F-4 miles away (unless he was in full-AB or at idle). To minimize being spotted by bad guys, we would pull one throttle back to idle and push the other in to the first stage of AB. Not the greatest way to operate, but it produced a smaller smoke signature. Put both motors in AB and there goes your gas.

Ryan Taylor the exhaust is why they trail a little bit but if it's worse than that the smoke increases

any scene was worth it for me at least.

wait you're telling me that these were real phantoms? like actual A-A cinematography was done?

@@2ksnakenoodles yup. Two real QF-4Es from Holloman’s 82nd ATARS were used in this sequence- notice the grey camo on the #2 Phantom.

@@Silversmok3 may I ask what does the Q designation mean?

@@Sagaleon14 Q means it’s a drone target. These were decommissioned F-4s scheduled to be shot down as targets

My late father worked on the F-4 while in the USAF. Was stationed mostly at Torrejon AFB, Spain. He retired in 1975. I miss him.

Warm greetings from a palatine living not far away from Ramstein. Had the pleasure to meet some wonderful Americans in the garrison of Zweibrücken. Yunno. Had a real good time - way back in the 80's. Not only F-4's - time also flies. So take care! ;)

@@wolfkafitz9461 whats Palatine?

@@zil1832 The Palatinate is a region in the southwestern part of germany. Right in the centre of good old europe. In German: Die Pfalz. Where are you from? ;)

You never forget that roar. . . the old-timey F-4's were super-loud.

I just watched that

Lol Luca J nice reply

Right dude!?! Like WTF?

TheseRightHereBitch me too!!

TheseRightHereBitch it's name plz? I like it

I know, the small details aviators catch in these movies ;) Did you see the Split-Scimitar winglets on the Continental 737 at LGA?

Ballinger French You're right. I was thinking Edwards.

The Phantoms they used in the movie were actually QF-4 target drone conversions that live at Holloman up until they are ultimately shot down by some lucky fighter pilot in a training scenario. The QF-4s are perfectly flyable by humans though and the AF actually authorized a couple of these birds to fly demo at airshows around the country, sort of a last farewell before they become missile bait. Cool to see them have a some movie screen time before they are gone forever though. :)

They can't let people touch the F-35s because it might smudge up it's radar-absorbing paint coating. Gotta be gentle as a kitten around all this wondrous new technology. ;)

Funnything about radar paint. There's a B-2 and an F-117 at the National Museum of the Air Force, WPAFB. You can actually walk under the B2. I've been told by staff that they have caught Chinese and Russian "tourists" scraping paint off of the B2. Assumption being they think it's the radar-absorbent paint that is used on the operational versions. On those displays it's just regular household paint lol

Later F4's didn't smoke anymore. The engines were updated, and if THOSE smoked, you did have a problem.

The glide path of an F4 was only slightly worse than an F105

Like when Tomcats are leaking fluids, it’s not a problem until they stop leaking lol

Jimmy.

best pilots always come from military backgrounds

A320 not B737, but yeah, he's real good under pressure.

A320*

My bad.

he is not qualified on b737-800 mate

​@@alinagape thats not the point but a correction.

Enterprise206 unless you're in a mig-17 or mig-19.. then you really don't have to worry about the F-4.

Don't get me wrong, the F-4 is one of my favorites, but let's be honest, she's a terrible dog fighter. Now, an F-8 Crusader, I would worry about.

Well it is beautifull plane but if met with its counterpart Mig 21 it would be F4s end.

@@17MrLeon F4 did very good vs the MiG 21. The one she had to worry about was the MiG 17.

@@Jamesbrown-xi5ih That is not really true.

gapjunction11 F-4 is beautiful but the A-10 is sexy

gapjunction11....The F-4 was called the Flying Brick by Vietnam pilots. Lose engine power and drop from the sky like a brick. I shit you not. Tyndall Air Force Base has converted 400 F-4s to drones and is shooting them down with F-16 fighter jets. The Gulf of Mexico will have all those planes on its sea floor. Yep, our tax dollars at work.

Considering it costs more tax dollars and safety risks to fly these aging aircraft (almost 40 years old) just to keep them airborne, I'd say it's a fitting way to go about retiring them via testing out new weapons systems on them as opposed to just letting them rot in some hangar.

Tex Rittenberg Here in Germany the Air Force (Luftwaffe) was using the F4 until 2013 in active duty and also to ensure air supremacy. No joke... It is a very reliable and powerful plane, but it is just not up to date anymore. And yes, the Luftwaffe took them out of service because the maintainance costs were higher and higher, spare parts got rare more and more and they had to start cannibalism and to scrap F4s to get spare parts to use. I know it's a shame for this awesome and beautiful fighter legend...

It looks like a school bus with wings but it kicks ass.

Wrong movie

Michael Rupp LMFAO

Shut up, Archer.

I was inverted.

youtert Hah

I don't think it was the jet engine, he never says that he's lacking power but he did say at 0:12 "...feels like hydraulics."

the smoke wasnt from the engine.. and as he said first "flight controls problem (...) looks like Hydraulics" something went wrong with the hydraulic causing control problems (probably surfaces moving arround wich would cause the plane to wobble arround) and if something in the hydraulic system went boom that could be trailing smoke but from the fuselage, not engines ..thats why his wingman upon inspection says "you look dry, still trailing smoke", no aparent hydraulic / fuel leak , but smoke coming from .. Its a very standard procedure when troubled to have wingmen to visual check your plane's underside to see if fluids are leaking or there is any visible damage

Those F-4's belched smoke, out of both engines, usually. That made them very easy to see coming in the Vietnam conflict. And, they were gigantic aircraft. Much bigger than MiG-15's or MiG-17's. Anyway, the plane appears to be flying all over the place on the way back to the air base, and so I think there was something else wrong other than the engines. He was able to power up and keep the F-4 aloft, and avoid a stall, he said, by landing at high airspeed. Some combat jets are more responsive at high speed than at very very slow speeds, which is why for slow speeds, you need something like an A-10.

Nice try

Bro was right

The move is called a zoom climb, basically a quick way to gain altitude in combat or emergencies. The F-4 Phantom used to hold one of the records of the highest zoom climb ever achieved

Is it because of a risk of striking it on the ground and igniting it? Or just to dump weight during an emergency?

Unless he couldn't jettison the tank, or no?

except that he didnt flew F-4Es, but Ds..but its just nitpicking

In the scenes using a F-4 Phantom fighter mock-up cockpit, it appears that they did not have the correct parachute riser/harness fittings available. Sully and his rear crewman's parachute harnesses fittings are not connected to their ejection seats and it appears the production crew jury-rigged some kind of setup to make the seat's parachute risers appear to be shoulder harnesses.

@@Slickgoodlin Also i really doubt he was flying a jet with his name on it on that incident...

national guard

Blue Sky Its like titanic

Probably qf-4s from heritage flight

Peter Wooldridge me too😔

when an f4 is flying an approach attitude its long ass nose obscures the runway. or his instruments were out. or he was so busy flying the pig he was just delegating what ever he could to his RIO. who knows man its a movie

sop in an f 4

If he is having trouble holding the plane in the air its not a bad idea for him to do an instrument approach so he doesn't wast time looking at the runway.

NA was the real-life tail code for the 474th Tactical Fighter Wing that was based at Nellis AFB but that unit was deactivated in 1989. The scene in the movie with that tailcode was re-living Sully's experience when he served in the USAF. The plane with the NY tailcode is likely on static display on the aircraft carrier Intrepid on New York's Hudson River where Sully went by in the movie where it was supposed to be present-day. The NY tailcode is currently used by the New York Air National Guards' 174th Fighter Wing.

windingpath he's matching his airspeed. Lowering the landing gear will prevent a stall.

windingpath oh I thought it was because they were landing.....

Lowering the landing gear has nothing to do with preventing a stall... He's doing it in order to generate extra drag in order to slow down.

Matching configuration.

Um no. Need to read what a "stall" is.

Runways are not always exactly lined up with the magnetic heading and also he could have been coming in at a 1 degree difference than straight on. But the 21 vs 22 is a hollywood mistake.

Early fighter jets has a tendency to wobble and oscillate under damage or control surface malfunction like Sully experienced here..but i doubt it would shake *THAT* much

Well they had to film real Phantoms and fake a controls problen.. all they could do to show the audience there was problems was shaking and wobbling... same as Sully name on the jet.. i really doubt he had his name on the misshap jet (most US pilots rarelly fly the jets with their names on it even if they got them in the squadron as the jets are asigned from maintenance.. there is no "personal" jet)

Palmic Dusan Sully

And he lands on runway 22 lol

That's common. Example Runway 4R up here at Metro Detroit is actually a magnetic heading of 036. The clearance for runway 21 and landing on 22 is just a Hollywood mistake.

Brett Lloyd surely your infantry has a poor record in Vietnam

@@greendefender1310 Not really, the Infantry did just fine as well, the combat situation was always in hand, the political situation on the other hand..... Well, we know how that went.

The humble MiG -17 did pretty well in Vietnam as well .

Sham Kichu To show a past experience where even under extreme circumstances where it seems that he could not reach the runway, he still went for it because he knew he could do it. Further enforces that if he felt he could make it back to the runway when the plane got struck by birds, he would have went for it. He knew there was no way he was making it back to the airport and so landed on the Hudson.

E's (or more precisely QF-4Es)

They were real

Why a tailhook? Its a normal runway.

Most military airbases have a cable across the runway at either end that fast jets can hook in case of emergency. You can see the one in this clip at 1:50 (the yellow dots mark it).

real ones.. Sully flew F-4Ds and not Es tought (small error)

So they used real aircraft for the film. I love that.
