New Zealand Air Force Bell UH-1 engine start. (Can any chopper expert explain why he is holding one of the rotors before he "cranks" it?)

Mostly aviation safety, with an appearance on Mayday - ACI: deviations include auto racing, true crime, and whatever I feel like.

- There are long flares and then there´s this... India´s PM arrival in Japan yesterday
- This has to be the most 1970s American transport Picture ever
- #OTD in 1980: Trans American Flight 209, a B-707, lands safely in Chicago (US) after crew was incapacitated by food poisoning. An ex-fighter pilot traveling as a passenger, along with a flight attendant, took control, supported by an ATC specialist and a former USAF captain.
- Textbook crosswind landing, filmed yesterday at S. Catarina (Brazil)
- This video is a good example of why we have "sterile cockpit rules"
- For people asking if this is real and not sim or AI, yes it is real, and happened in Madeira island, in 2023. A commentator recalled "if I landed like that I´d be invited for a "coffeeless meeting by the chief pilot"
- #Breaking Two private warbirds, a B-17 and a P-63, collided in midair at the Wings Over Dallas airshow at Texas (US). So far no info about the number of people aboard. WARNING: Some viewers may find this video disturbing . Updates when possible
00:00 - This video explains clearly how the B-787 fuel switches work. To move from "run" to "cut off" you have to 1) pull it up and 2) push it down. If you touch it only, it won´t move. Kudos to the OP (can´t find him)
00:00 - That poor crew went through hell and back. True heroes.We have updated our post on #J28243 to include local pressure (1025 hPa) altitude corrections for the ADS-B data. ADS-B data is only reported in Standard pressure (1013.25 hPa). flightradar24.com/blog/azerbaija…
- With my poor eyesight, this was a SR-71 😅😅Manatee mom with a baby Manatee on each side
00:00 - New video on the crash. Definitely a fire on the left wing
- I can´t stress enough how impressive the F-35 VSTOL version is. I recall reading on the 90s on how the Harrier - despite a great combat record - had limitations in speed and load -this "successor" just raised the bar so much. (and looks badass)
- This was in 2019: "Dramatic footage shows daring moment skier is rescued in French Alps" (more info on 1st comment)
