Landing Convair 580 Gets Caught Up In Departing 747's Thrust

Here you see a heavy Evergreen International Airlines Boeing 747-273C N471EV (cn 20651/209) departing from 25L at LAX. Right behind on approach is an Air Resorts Airlines Convair CV-580 in a scheme that's similar to the old North Central Airlines scheme. The pilot really had to fight the controls to bring her down gently, what a ride.

That 580 was not wearing the North Central scheme. The tail logo vaguely had the shape of North Central's Herman the duck and that is about it.

The controller would have been remiss if he didn't call "caution wake turbulence". Just guessing but wake turbulence would have caused roll problems, not yaw issues. But again, I can't say. Great video

Doubtful that was wake turbulence because the Convair touched down way before the 747's rotation point....maybe just a gusty day.

That's not the 747's thrust that caused the Convair to act like that. It's the wake turbulence.

Loving these videos!

Wow! Looks like an old Evergreen pax configured 747. I'm guessing it could have been on an AMC rotator, back in the day: KSTL-KLAX-PANC-RKTY-RODN. BTW, those Convairs are tanks.
