pilot

The level of calm that these pilots are able to maintain while weathering complete chaos is otherworldly. Seriously, most folks would be hard pressed to not faint altogether while trying to fly a plane upside down. 

Well, these spectators were certainly treated to the show of a lifetime when a Turkish F-16 pilot decided to fly crazily close to where they were situated. I'm just wondering about what kind of damage was dealt out to those poor people's eardrums. That couldn't have been fun. Exhilarating for sure, but painful as well. 

This story's been around for a while, but it's always fun to revisit. Can't imagine what must've been going through the heads of the pilots that were around for this masterful act of trolling. 

If there's anyone else out there who is admirably humble about their flying skills, and has a friend that they can take on a flight, this video should absolutely serve as an inspiration. One can only begin to imagine what kinds of panicked thoughts must've been dancing across this guy's mindscape. But hey, the trust was very present. Must be a solid friendship. 

Man, you've got to be fully present and tuned in to pull off a wild stunt like the one we have here from this pilot. Dude's got some mad skills. 

You pretty much know when a video's made it when it somehow makes itself known in the infamous YouTube algorithm many, many years later. It's almost deeply unsettling at this point to see so many people congregated in one dense area on a beach. 

jaybyrdfilms put together this impressive one-shot scene filmed by an impressively piloted drone. The natural smoothness combined with the tight drone piloting makes it some filmmaking that would be unthinkable just a few years ago.

So well, apparently there are reports that this story could just be a work of fiction. Regardless it makes for quite the entertaining rollercoaster. 

Maybe the joke's just on us, and this pilot's achieved such a masterful skill level that he's able to put on a believable performance that he's impressively terrible. Or, maybe, just maybe he's pure bad at flying. 

The dude who lost his $800 RC airplane has a wonderful memory to cherish for a lifetime. Just imagine how quickly this guy went from being absolutely devastated over his pricey loss, to instead having a couple kind pilots swoop down, save the day, and literally hand him back his expensive RC airplane. It's wholesome moments like this that keep our faith alive for the state of humanity. 

There are reports that this story could actually be nothing more than a work of fiction. Real or not, it's still quite the entertaining tale. 

A small plane had to make an emergency landing on a Minnesota highway, hitting an SUV in the process. No injuries were reported. Luckily for everyone, the pilot of the small plane was Craig Gifford, an award-winning acrobatics pilot. He said he had to make the emergency landing after experiencing engine failure. All in all, not a bad person for the job.

So, apparently it takes some serious skill to actually pull off flying this poorly. 

That was EXTREMELY close to a monumental fail. Can only imagine what kinds of words were being yelled in the pilot's seat at the time.
