That’s the second time in less than a week! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/delta-airlines-skywest-collision-north-dakota-b2792725.html
What on earth is going on with USAF ATC this week?
When you are seated, have your seatbelt on.
Six minutes after take off and people didn’t have their seatbelts on. They won’t make that mistake again.
Seatbelt??? While hurtling through the sky 30,000 feet in the air at 500+ mph?? That’s uncomfortable.
My first thought too. Wear your seat belt unless you’re in the bathroom or walking to it. Planes do crazy shit unexpectedly, now these people are a foot shorter because their necks went inside their body.
Ya, this shits definitely made me change my mind on that lol
Hawker Hunter?! That’s a British military jet from the 40s. Is there another kind? Am I taking crazy pills?
Several Hawker Hunters, actually. I didn’t know so many were even active
hopefully that bump smooshed his brain worms
Crackhead Columbo, I call ‘em
I had that happen in a 747 once. Your stomach just flips. Not something you expect on such large plane. The pilot said it was a “tea cast” maneuver to avoid a head on collision. He said the other plane was a half a mile ahead, which seemed like a long ways until I realized both planes were probably doing 600mph or something like that.
It’s TCAS. The Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System is an airborne system that helps pilots avoid mid-air collisions. It works independently of ground-based equipment by monitoring nearby aircraft with transponders and issuing advisories to pilots.
It basically negotiates between two planes and gives them opposing directions automatically so the pilots don’t “avoid” each other by going the same direction.
Who the hell is hawker hunter and why is he so tall?
