Grumman goose crashing on landing

[jeepman95100]

what happened was he was trying to come around that bend. making a turn at that high of speed is very risky. have to use the rudder in accordance with the ailerons. there was no way he was gona get it under controll and stopped in time to save it. so misewell stick it up on land. and than rebuild it. im rebuilding 2 widgeons and they were both sunk in almost 150 feet of water. after they are submerged in water. its a diasaster. everything is ruined and crushed in from the pressure at the depth

[airplanekid77]

its not a speed boat race geez take it easy

[tjampe]

why are the floats not lowered all the way?

[LorenzoB16]

Any pilots out there with any idea of what happened?

[wezdog1]

Thumbs up if you have done this in flight sim :)

[smeddog2]

Lost part 2 , coming soon on ABC

[TheAppleMan100]

They see me drifting, They hating

[beaman220]

WE'RE HERE!

[tadrjbs]

He wasn't landing, he was trying to take off...

[helopilot08]

was there a guy tubing behind them??????

[AQzero]

is that real??!

[catalinaislandtime]

Endless Summer II !!

[KJOSCOT]

Surfs up dude! I guess he did the best he could to control that landing. Looks like nobody was seriously hurt. I wonder what happened.

[g6rcteam]

this is a astronaut named hoot gibson he hit wires on take off that he did not see they were strung across the river

[thangamajig]

Looks like a real shameful waste of a beautiful bird to me.

[NorthForkFisherman]

@thangamajig I hate seeing classic aircraft like that bite it. It's such a loss. Fortunately it doesn't seem to have cause any loss of life.

[losipoop]

Respond to this video...  a little too fast on the approach. maybe next time right?

[legomaster335]

are we not supose to notice that?

[VaginaDieBreite]

OH SHIZZLE!

[BikerRussell]

What the hell was this guy thinking?

[MrFelt1000]

great landin man

[lsi624]

LOVEN IT !....MORE,MORE,MORE

[archon808]

@0:14 is a star wars sound effect.

[routan1]

Sometimes in a pilot's career, he has to face the cold reality that he has, indeed, crashed and just retard the throttles, let the aircraft settle and call it a day.

[GazzerHST]

Beached Whale

[kestrel8888]

the pilot was trained by a shitty flight simulator called:X-plane 9...

[bushman14]

Naah..I think I'll keep looking, but thanks for letting me take 'er for a spin!

[Bradentucky]

That landing is an Endless Bummer

[madisonelectronic]

That sand really messed up my left wing bearings.

[DonnyaLaysen]

lol

[dpapaioannow]

*asshooooooooooleeeeee!!!!* ;)

[nik0lhc]

that's how i land that plane in fsx

[Gorodeckiy82]

Ахаха чувак припарковался)))

[4TaktRollerNeinDanke]

Clean pants are under your seat! :D 

[cybermarsactual]

You will never fly my plane again!

[tagatayaa]

Approaching Tamarindo, the pilot started a right turn to follow the

estuary, but his height was insufficient. Presumably he suddenly became

aware of the power lines which cross the river at that point, and was

forced to fly below them. The right pontoon caught the water, and jerked

the aircraft to the right. Overcorrecting, the pilot put the left float

into the water, and the aircraft swerved to that side. More details here:

[heavybubble41]

That was ugly.

[Hinsai]

The hemmulator was disscombolulated.

[FantasticBob7000]

@jlcame1994 I know dude, I know. Not sure why he didn't shut 'em down tho.

[schymcgee]

Holy Shit!!! Looks like he was taking off with one engine, that guy is nuts! I hope the water was ok!

[1216saab]

people dont look scared enough.

[ellorybockting]

Oh crap! No! Not a goose! I mean I'm happy it looks like more of a scary ride than one that injured someone. But MAN! That poor goose... Those planes are so legendary and awesome. I would love to know what went wrong.

[lilred2506]

@drvrdug whats wrong with it?

[gibbletz]

What a stupid noob.

[Sunburnt99]

Pilot error.......

[quentin3434]

"I only had two beers, Ossifer I mean Officer. Hickup

[27Cardoza]

@quentin3434 wow that was gay

[lilred2506]

@27Cardoza ur gay



[quentin3434]

Hey, I know that guy. He always lands like that.

[motoman1210]

he's taking off not landing

[xoio]

Pilot = Twat!

[MrGizmo757]

didnt look like he put his floats down and seemd to be moving to fast.

[JonB83]

@MrGizmo757 actually that's how they land on water

[JonB83]

@MrGizmo757 well except for the crashing part...

[wesley2348]

made in china

[skazhiprivet]

See: it´s amphibious!

It lands on both water and land... in the same landing!

:-D

[RJYEMS]

actually thats a goose.... a smaller version of the albatross... originally created for search and rescue,... hence they are amphibious

[thegipper77]

endless summer 2 that poor feckin grumman OUCH!

[jtrod2007]

WTF ! thats no pilot !

[syrkadian]

That was an albatross, I believe. Shooting Endless Summer in Costa Rica in '93.

[danbuswell]

dumb ass

[silverbird58]

wait till insurance company finds out

[silverbird58]

next time look up stall speed and flap settings ..

[ColBuzby]

that was hairy....

Thanks to @canav8 for the explanation of what happened.

Flight Sim. X has the Grumman Goose...it's sort of like a PBY Catalina but quite smaller.

[scottster97]

there quite rare but remember.... THINK never ever drink and fly

[sharkmkd]

man, this guy thought he was riding a speedboat! lol! xD

[FrenchValleyAirport]

poor goose

[philbumper7]

This was in the movie "Endless Summer II" and you can hear the voice of Bruce Brown at the start - and this segment was about Costa Rica.

[Fly3rGuy]

lucky pilot

[groovy67]

Back to the building board.

[hudson501]

Wait just a minute! Someone commented on this same video clip posted by a different individual that this Grumman Goose was taking off and not landing. Which one is it? Nobody seems to know!

[canav8]

Hudson, I am very aware of this incident and know the pilot personally. It was an engine loss on Takeoff and a short old pilot trying to reach the throttles on the overhead panel. Takeoff was aborted but the pilot couldnt get the other throttle back and you see what the out come was.

[hudson501]

Dear Canav8,

Thanks for setting the record straight! This perhaps also explains why the outer wingtip pontoons were in a semi retracted position (hope there were no injuries major or minor in this incident).

[lanebmw]

No! They where taking off...then they heard that there was $1.00 Bud Lights on the beach and and they changed their mind at the last minute. I heard one guy say fuck v1 were are drinking today. ha ha

[hudson501]

Aha! The truth be known!

[gilliguts]

Dubbed sound....

[Prediluvian27]

his floats were stuck, if u look they are detached from the wingtips but not down and locked. without the floats, the wing was unstable

[crysis116]

holy crap! this is 100% real?

[Flyglobespan93]

people on the beach were like so what dont even move

[motokid032]

That makes for a very bad day.

[pabobfin]

Your baggage may have shifted in the overhead compartments on landing. Clean underwear is available in the passenger terminal. Thank you for flying with us, and have a good day on the rest of your journey.

[TheCrazyFinn]

Man, that's something you'd expect to see in an Indiana Jones -movie! =O

[petethebastard]

"Any landing you walk away from is a good landing!"

PtB

[weim5356]

No, this is an exception! Man, they were already down, that defied all normal flight physics:-)

[axs12345]

@petethebastard yea i thing you can make an exeption withe this one

[FantasticBob7000]

Throttle stuck open??

[devil952]

somthin like that, theyll get u later

[C2dltCAP]

yeah its a Catalina, wonder why he had his throttle allt he way up for a while on the ground... was he trying to take off or was he landing?

[devil952]

actually its a grumman goose. like the title says

[C2dltCAP]

im not that stuipid... i have flown in both a PBY catalina, and a Goose... I was saying the Airline is Catalina... just like the plane says... I just got done building a model of a goose wtih catalina decals...

[devil952]

sorry

[C2dltCAP]

nno problem mate

[courtsec]

Endless Summer 2 movie. I think this was in Costa Rica?

[EliteSwordsman25]

This plane is 1 of my favorites :)

[sixmagpies]

Why were they not able to throttle down?

[540merlin]

Looks to me like the pilot is just trying to have some fun. That's the same way i drive my Vette...

[Yllod]

Then your Corvette is being driven with incompetence, out of control, and it will last you about five minutes. Because this is just an accident, man.

[540merlin]

Ya, but I'm rich - I'll just fix it and go for another 5 minutes!

[Yllod]

If you survive it! Doesn't look like a way to die in bed...

I'd love to know the full sequence of events. Don't looks like a stuck throttle...

[devil952]

ya, your rich ass gonna be in jail for "trying to have some fun" after you hit and kill someone.

[540merlin]

Like OJ?

[fayik123]

imagine that happening on land. the water and sand saved him. IT seems that most aviation accidents are due to human error & mistakes.  Even most technical problems that have caused accidents are due to human error be it in the mechanics or technicians or baggage handlers mistakenly loading hazardous goods onto aircraft. Humans make more fuckups than machines

[Smash4UF]

Damn! That sucks

[Lagerhog16]

This plane was put back into service and is currently being Flown by Pacific Coastal Airlines.

[madeira69]

thats 1 airline to avoid!! lol

[racer927]

one word OUCH

[SONYPMWEX1]

This was a staged flight for the movie Endless Summer II.

If you watch the movie, you will see this clip...

[VergeVerge]

I read online that the pilot was supposed to land the Goose for this movie, but not actually crash it. If they put it in the movie, though, it was probably intentional. Or they thought it was better.

[HRMOKeefe]

throttles got stuck? who what when where ...why?

[fsxgamer101]

lol it's a beer comercial

[Konabish]

You are all wrong. It's obvious from the ventricular vortex stream that the inges-capacitor was left in the "down-swing" modular regression position, thus nullifying the effect of the redundant hypercopulator. As they say at Pan-Am, you'll never get your flatulence vibrator to flux if you haven't properly adjunticated the phaso-bypass valve.

[efromhb]

This is from the movie Endless Summer II

A waste of a Goose IMHO

[darioandrade]

There were actual people in there to make a scene?? well something is not right

[KapnK]

...and the canooter valve sounded out of synch too.

[ggreen85]

lol

[videowatcher101010]

that was quite fast for taxiing in the goose. but its amazing it survived that long

[mauiglassblowing]

what a waste of a plane !

[dpludwig]

either the video is fake... or the pilot is an idiot

[shb47]

This appears to be a takeoff, not a landing. The engines appear to be producing power and the wingtip floats are partially retracted. Normal procedure sometimes is to retract the floats while "on the step" (planing) during takeoff. The Goose decelerates very rapidly with engines at idle - which is not what this Goose is doing.

[papaoscaroscar]

ahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a those pilots pooholes woulda tightend soo hard up that you couldnt have forced a vibrator up thereif you tried! i had tears runnin down my eyes from laughter! poor plane tho

[fairlanejay]

I thought it might be fake at first. But it would take a real good graphics editor to make the sand and water kick up in coordination with plane like it did. I think he just came in so fast he took those folks by surprise. But i think I woulda been running like hell.. lol

[hbunnie1120]

Any landing you walk away from is a good landing.....unless your the insurance company....

[deck614]

Well it seems the goose is not hard destroyed. The pilot is sure still shivering of fright remembering this but didn't he(she) managed all right? Would the landing gear have resisted to such constrains?

[hudson501]

Oops, make that, "were retracted"!

[hudson501]

Notice his/her outboard pontoons where still somewhat retracted. Had they been down and locked that may have prevented the aircraft from banking far left and right. Guess you might say he/she cooked his (Grumman) Goose!

[HOPPERFZR]

looks to me like he realized he ran out of lake and tried to turn then had to counter the turn to avoid flipping

[Sarendil]

Now, I've never flown anything like the Grumman Goose, but I heard tell that it was (is!) infamously unforgiving on take-off, both from the water and on tarmac. That, coupled with the fact that the floats seemed to have malfucntioned on this flight, I think the pilot didn't do half bad trying to slow it down as much as possible before hitting the shore line. Very sad to see such a beautiful plane suffer like that, but my main concern is with the crew/passengers. No injuries I hope?

[juxier]

HOLY SHIT!

[rayunseitig]

This is pretty sad, It's a bit strange that the people walking by were not watching as closely as I was.

[espinaguar]

al menos llego jajaja

[zabotlivaya]

Well hope that wasnt on purpose !! Thats a classic and beautiful old plane !! Would love to own one of those

[HisMajestyOKeefe]

he bent the spar, what happened?

[pabobfin]

Actually by definition a "Good Landing" (one you can walk away from) not a "Great Landing" (one you can fly the plane again)

This looks pretty real to my pilot eyes... Logged many flights in Grumman Goose, and they are sturdy enough for this, and fairly forgiving, but still an airplane.

BTW a crash does not take away your license either.... personal knowledge.

[coolguy676]

fake

[aircanadapilotz]

wtf how could that be fake explain if u can! which i bet u cant cuz its real so shut up

[zabdale]

idiotic pilot i bet his instructor was the same!

[bulbadox]

angry goose

[flectz]

lol.

[MrCrackSpider]

This is from Bruce Brown's "Endless Summer II". I asked him about this scene. He told me it was an "ex airline" pilot that was laying low in Central America. Shame to destroy an old bird like this for no good reason. What a dumbass...

[HisMajestyOKeefe]

Didnt destroy the Goose unless bent the spar

what was problem? throttle stuck? looked like it was going to end worse

amazing

[427Fourspeed]

Killed a classic.

[appel94]

lol it's funny

[mustang2005]

oops lol

[R160A]

I bet he's saying "$%*&, there goes my license!!!"

[fatpoop619]

Wouldn't doubt it. lol

[hardtrucker18]

tell that to american airlines

[kingaurthur13]

i told you dont drink and fly

[toadswildride]

Smooth

[luberisnabo]

same error, in flight with sim X.... but isn't real, no problem.

[reignviper]

thats what i did in flight simulator X

[Novaheart1998]

DOH! oops, must have hit a fish...

[ISinisterI]

picture perfect landing

[jetfueljp4]

That had to suck
