@Nizingur Go back to drawing horses. People have a right to express their opinions, after all, not every lives in the US. I like to poke people who no longer control their own country.

@TheFraggle78 Pan pan pan is used by relaying agencies or other traffic to indicate a message of high importance. In this case they mention that a Mayday was called by a certain ship and then they go on to give all relevant information. The Mayday, so to speak, belongs to the Estonia, not the...

That runway did not have a localizer or glide slope, nor did it have PAPI's, VASIS edge lighting, nor was there a VOR on the filed. I doubt there was an NDB that served the runway. The approach was completely hand flown. No autopilot could fly a visual approach. Autolands approaches are vecto...

@Leo93230 There is no war on Christmas. No one says you should stop celebrating it, or advertising it or shopping for it. You just shouldn't expect others of a different faith to have to conform to your practises. When we say Seasons Greetings, it is not to tell you that you have to say it our...

@USAFThunderBirdsFtw Okay, your point is taken. I wish you well in your study of Aviation. It is a field barely understood properly by the media, even after the 100th anniversary.

A man over board in those conditions and you would never be able to go back. Use a jackline. Anyone on deck should have been 'clicked' in. The dinghy should be lashed on deck or the davits. Having a crew member manually 'pole' out the main, is very risky. I know the engine quit, but the idea...

I agree with teamyankee and rebeldog. Four years on the seas, and 35 years in aviation and I would never call a Mayday for a fouled prop. If the stern gland was leaking because of it, then possibly. Besides, you can make the point in 35 seconds or less, this guy is yapping after I read all of ...

great video, good works, thanks for sharing.

running out of fuel at an airshow???? Couldn't you make something up that sounds daring and heroic.

Just about perfect trim. Jealous, so jealous.

Oh that wind. Brings back memories. But with the warmth of the caribbean, it never really feels threatening. Is that Saba in the background, surely not St. Barts.

Magical. We are so happy that Bergy Bits is performing for you. It now helps ease the memory of watching you leave Whitehouse Bay and then return hours later, beat up by an unforgiving wind. Well done.

@Obelix6 He's not the mechanic, or engineer as they are called. He exited the right side, he's the pilot.

Water filling the cockpit won't sink the boat. It's water in the engine room/compartment that pulls it under. His bilge pumps should have been on once the water started breaking over the bow.

@nico1941997 It looks like the 380.

@aizad3755 Boeing controls 54% of the market. No one denies that Chev's don't outsell the Lincolns, but my rebuttal was in reference to your statement of Boeing passing on the baton. I still don't think so. There is a need for large aircraft, but you'll find that the 380 is in a niche that is ...

@xxtwr1 you have a computer and obviously can use the internet. Unless Winnipeg Manitoba is in New Zealand, she would be a Canadian. Unless the rule you use is that if you visit a country, they can claim you as their own.
