[stephenzenaida]

i really dont understand, if your going to spend millions on four beautiful new double wasp engines, wouldnt you think to make sure raw fuel doesnt spill on a hot apu in the cockpit, what were these clowns thinking?? all that were taking our time doing it right and then ya blow it on the last day in a complete rush, WTF

I'm growing increasingly worried seeing that old cargo plane take off and land on such soft terrain.

[Steve181]

They should have just hired a massive Russian helicopter to fly it away to a warm hanger for restoration.

@Steve181 Meh. Its more entertaining like this

[seasonedtoker]

@Steve181 yeah but the only problem to them is the fact that it's Russian lol

[greenrate]

@Steve181

I bet that if you look at the money numbers . . . they explain a lot that isn't immediately obvious.

For example: this "entertaining" way of rescuing the plane . . . means they could sell the rights to someone to film the entertainment.

@Steve181 thats what i thought when i watched this

[FiveCentsPlease]

@Steve181

It was a for-profit recovery operation and renting a heavy lift Sky Crane that guzzles fuel and has a short range would have been very expensive.

[Steve181]

@FiveCentsPlease With the benefit of hindsight though a sky crane would have been the better option, make a couple of trips one for the fuselage & wings etc. As you say I'm sure they did the maths & it was there way or nothing.

@Steve181

This info is probably old, but I believe they started with a $500K budget and each flight with equipment was around $15K. They had hoped to sell the plane for around $1M (in 1994 dollars.)

[oceantrolls73]

can landing gears at 6:35 be lowered and raised without running engines? where does the hydraulic pressure come from? thanks anyone.

[jordan32277]

@oceantrolls73 hey bud i thimk that it might be still working generators i can here a sqeual and at 655 u can here a generator so im guessing a generator operating the hydrualics :)
