Bush Pilot trick - How to remove flies from Cockpit

[jonathan144x]

are you sure the flies are not just coming back in the open window?

[rayraychapman]

lmao.... checklists make great fly swatters...

[AirstripBum]

Nifty trick! Could have used that one night after take off from Jennings, LA. Cockpit was full of mosquitoes. Needed a big hose. LOL

[PlasticRocket]

Checkout your local airport for a flight school, there should be one in every town in any developed country, especially the USA! Start by taking an intro flight to get your first hour in the air, then take the ground school. Its about 80 hours of class room work and should cost less than $500... if no joy try the AOPA online stuff, its great!

[Chikokishi]

Id love to be a pilot, iv been trying for years to get my food in the door. Just dont know anyone/dont have the money to get started in it yet.

[Chikokishi]

@Chikokishi P.s., i love the music.

[TheBuzzclick]

Anybody ever wonder what the fly must be thinking?

La la the la la la-SWISH, what the ____, how did I get thousands of miles (fly miles) above the ground?

[Crashman2]

Great trick! I just open both doors and shove the nose down, and slip at max cross-controlled deflction limits....

[doofus02]

That's gold.

[flanksteak1]

What a versatile tool!

After you are done vacuuming out the cockpit you can face the tube forward and put it down your pants to help dry your sweaty balls!

[Icemain]

get me my pilots license then give me a job!

[tgm9991]

@Icemain You won't if your english is that bad.

[Icemain]

@tgm9991 I wont what? and If my English is how bad?

[tedlgn]

Seems a far too complicated way to get the task done, I always flew with a can of Doom close at hand which flat lined tetse Flies in a minute of so. Job Done! 

[cessnaclub]

Quick question...WTF is a G1000 doing out bush???LOL

[chopppacalamari]

Of course that's how a dredge works. Good thinking there mate!

[cosminx2003]

@PlasticRocket i always wondered what if you need to piss while you're flying

[mi24hind]

haha awesome

[TrutherD1]

Ever see chemtrails or UFOs? :D

[TheDidlo1]

Avoid fly'n over cattle yards too. Just kidding, but not really.

[GaijinGDB]

Make the PAX clean the plane while you fly...great use of dead weight!

[500art]

Great idea until the hose swinging about in the cockpit knocks off a vital switch or control !

[HeinrichGruenmann]

If you have to piss, attach a funnel to the end.

[mrbushpilot]

pure genius

[rogerjulias]

And you're saying that that's how bush pilots often pee?

Makes sense.

[AviationChatter]

That's hilarious, but I think I'll stick with the vacuum attachment back at the hangar :p

[archxp]

Brilliant tricks! Thanks for sharing!

[chicagoguy7]

Thanks for sharing the trick.

[atvmaster281]

Lol this is such a good idea

[LordDonutz]

Haha! Amazing!

[savoirfaire41]

Geez, how many flies were in there?!

[FFTVAviation]

Very good and what a neat trick. Very funny peice. We should get you on talking about it.

[PlasticRocket]

Back in Canada now, gettting stuck in the mud as the ice melts, but use the clip , like your show!

[FFTVAviation]

Thanks! Yes. I imagine not so many flies back in the Canada right now! I'll put this vid on our website. Great one.

[lopz2557]

OK one guy is cleaning the cock pit with both hands The other guy has the camera in one hand and the hose in the other Whose flying the plane ( don't tell me the auto pilot )

Great Aussie video

I love it

[baxterrj]

physics in action, gota love it.

[phili878]

if you pilots would take some more showers to begin with, there wouldn't be that many flies in there ! :p

[PlasticRocket]

No, its really not that bad until you stick your arm out the window ( as in don't!)

[lmyhoosier]

cant u get sucked out if u do that

[PlasticRocket]

That only happens if the plane is pressurized. It is even hard to fall out as the slipstream keeps the door closed.

[lmyhoosier]

so if u stick your arm out itll just throw it againt the side of the plane?

[PlasticRocket]

Just like traveling in a car at 120 mph.. the force of the wind can twist your arm if you are not careful!

[amediastintas]

that only happens in hollywood

[HunterDanNZ]

The aircraft I fly in does not have a opening window. damn bubble shields.

Is it like a hurricane passing through the cab?

[emp29]

I love this video. It has 3 things that I love doing, didgeridoo, harmonica, and flying.

Nice avionics you've got there. =)

[emp29]

Would anyone know the ceiling of a fly?

[PlasticRocket]

When you stop smearing em across your windshield... thats a flys real world ceiling! Not to be confused with Cessnas idea of absolute ceiling.

[EquiEquiTapang]

Dunno about the ceiling, but their VNE in 100KIAS :) and BTW, don´t laugh but I´m a "professional flies dropper" and that´s the number they gave me. I guess that includes the usual safety % ;P

[n421tt]

Haha thats owesome, never thought of that!

[nolhrt]

Great but what if you fly a plane where you can't open the windows? Some midges got in and I was driven mad with them. Ironically I fly an Australian made aircraft. It's back to swatting for me!

[camgreaves]

Absolutely brillant we where using our checklists that much we had to throw them out

[space2638]

very clever!

[Paul121193]

sorry for the idiot comment, but if you put your hand out of the window.. is that goodbye hand ?

[1Gaumer]

probably not but i guess if you stuck your hand out at the right angle it might be able to dislocate your shoulder or something

[groundsman]

unless like myself you are stuck flying in a C152 in which case you could probably climb out of the window altogether and sit on the roof without too much trouble from that wind!

[mauersegler79]

This is great...excellent idea

[aetow19]

How in the hell do guys get lost flyin' the G1000?

[raymondgreat]

is the strenght like a vacuumcleaner??

[PlasticRocket]

Not like a home vacuum, but it does the trick. The bigger the tube, the faster the plane the more the vacuum...

[Omid45]

Oh my Goodness!!! you just solved my problem!!!!!!! i love you i love you dude!! marry me yea? I just solved a HUGEEEE problem! after watching this i just invented a portable bathroom for a 172!! YES YES lol no more empty bottles for in flight peeing lol YES i truly love you. Why didn't i think of this. I peed all over the plane last time. This will be pefect lol dude you just made my life easier. Espeically those long flight, oh i will pee like a chimp lol thanks again great clip.

[guizimm]

nice video.. i'll try...

[PlasticRocket]

Thanks!

[tester4200]

Hehehehe,,that was a good video!!

[PlasticRocket]

Yup.. she was a nice little package of a plane!

[p51pilot28]

oooh...nice G1000 display
