Title: Funny Aviation Videos
Post by: Stef on July 28, 2010, 08:03:28 PM
Okay, a new topic here! Since the humor thread is pretty big already, I thought we might create a special section for videos. I'll kick it off with this one here:

Ha! Oh boy!! That sure did look like fun! ;D
The amazing thing about this is, that it's a flight from Tel Aviv, a place where they have a real terror threat. If that'd have been a United Flight from Detroit to San Francisco, the plane would probably have been grounded mid way and all the passengers dragged off to jail as terror suspects! ::loony:: But wait, they wouldn't have handed out pillows, so that couldn't have happened in the first place... ::thinking:: ;D

I think that might be the very reason. Terror threat in Israel is real and well known, and because of that, they can not afford to be theatrical like the TSA, but must be effective. Grounding aircraft on which pillow war ensued would be very theatrical, but terribly uneffective. Taking your grandmas nailclippers is theatrical, but uneffective. You dont need to bring your own sharp objects to the airplane, there are plenty ways to get one in there. Catching someone with unclean motives before they get on the plane is the key. And that is what Israelis try to do.

Wow, well said Fabo!
You kinda said what everybody here is thinking as well. Not sure if it will change or if we can make a difference.....
Maybe we can do a strip that will get their attention and then they'll change their ways . . . . (*cough*) ;)

Man, it's been a while since I posted here hasn't it? I personally would've gotten a heart-attack if that was me in the back seat of the plane in the first video. If you want something funny then I personally love these two videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX629ZjWD68 If I remember correctly then I heard the pilot had also flown under a bridge barely bigger than the plane for a WWII movie and his faster was also a pilot (it was probably someone here who told me I just can't remember who sorry).
This one may not be funny as such, more like incredible (that he didn't flinch): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaWZOCnRvnE

You are wrong Frank, that second video was super funny.
As for the pilot who flown under a bridge barely bigger than the plane, is it this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwaPrTmwGSg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwaPrTmwGSg)?

cotejy: Actually I think it might be this one, but not sure since the focus of the camera makes it look like a model-plane: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf3UtmHLKUU&feature=related (oh my sweet lord almighty the sound in that clip ::bow::) As I wrote then I most likely have the info from someone here so it's just a matter of waiting until that person posts again. Maybe Ian can shed some light on the subject?
