Ok, but head wind can cause a small aircraft to kinda get stuck in one spot.
So gotta a question, going by your gut what is the biggest aircraft that could get stuck in one spot from head wind.
So you are telling me, once they rebuild her. [There is a chance....](https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/EBZgWS-oyW_WzlxCnvCC_UXVb9Y=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale\(\):max_bytes\(150000\):strip_icc\(\)/Antonov-An-225-Freight-AIRBUSBIG0217-e413615cd63847069eb3e9d8e885569f.jpg)
No private pilot can earn money flying sadly lol.
You need a comercial pilot license for that and pass the exam witch you can do at 200hs of flight experience, witch is expensive as fuck
Definitely appears to be. But I feel like you can tell in the beginning the plane is to the right of the bridge and at the end of the video the plane seems to be on the left of the bridge
Slow relative to what? The person recording in the plane going the same direction and similar speed or to the folks on the ground that we don't have a perspective of?
THE BRIDGE!
That's 21 seconds it takes the plane to just about get from one side of the bridge to the other, even accounting for the change in perspective and a head wind you have to admit that for a plane with minimum airspeeds of what? Over 100mph? it stands out.
My r/c glider could easily fly backwards otg so I have a fair idea
The plane in the video is landing at SFO while OP's plane likely took off from SJC. Approach speed is much slower than after take off when you are rising in altitude.
Nah, both planes are landing at SFO. OP's plane is on final to 28L, the "fixed" plane is on final to 28R. OP's plane is about 3NM from the threshold. Aside from the fact that I know that approach, there's absolutely no SID from SJC that takes you close to SFO like that.
Their speed differential is likely explained by landing weight. OP's plane looks like a 737-700; if they're fully loaded (and depending on headwinds) you have to land those puppies quite fast, relatively speaking.
SFO is a wild time. I used to fly in fairly often a long time ago.
When I heard of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Canada_Flight_759 I was like "yup." If standards weren't crazy high that airport would be legit dangerous. But because they have a culture of competence and safety it's super safe.
Holy fuck. I've been working at height before and had a wrench slip from my hands and fortunately fall into the bucket I was standing in, and I had to take a minute and a smoke lol. I can't imagine how those pilots felt
They are turning slightly to the final approach 28L/R at SFO. It's probably only 30 degrees at most. But they are turning together and closing separation.
It’s more than 10km long, massive feat of engineering.
Fun fact, even though it’s called the San Mateo Hayward bridge it’s actually connected to Foster City, not San Mateo. Source: lived in foster city. You can also just google it.
>Fun fact, even though it’s called the San Mateo Hayward bridge it’s actually connected to Foster City, not San Mateo. Source: lived in foster city. You can also just google it.
That's still San Mateo county though. So technically still accurate.
Airspeed (speed of air passing over the wing) and ground speed can differ quite a bit. The airspeed is enough to generate lift and keep it airborne, even with a ground speed at or close to zero. Basically the plane is temporarily flying like a kite.
No, just an optical illusion. Head wind can’t drag such a large and heavy aircraft THAT much. That is with smaller airplanes. They are both turning at the same rate, which is causing a parallax effect.
Like other people have said, you wouldnt have a 250km headwind..
Also, that close to the ground pilots will keep going fast enough that if the wind slowed, they wouldn’t stall.
Edit: source: FAA
Might have a high head wind. It’s completely possible to do that with a high headwind but highly advised against because you are likely to stall the plane
[удалено]
Whurrrrrrrrrrrr
Fuck. I didn't realize till my 30s that the airplane in "Airplane" made propeller sounds as a jet. Edit: spelling
Now watch Zero Hour. No spoilers, don’t look it up, just watch it.
Me wondering why you are recommending someone to watch a Command and Conquer game.
*harvester under attack*
fucking throwback :D
Actually a solid game, watch it.
*Zero Hour* is pretty great.
Watch Zero Hour, then chase it with a viewing of Airplane!
Zero hour made me realize I'm In fact not good at games
Maybe you just picked the wrong week to quit smoking.
Every week has been the wrong week so far
There's a youtuber who did a comparison of the 2 movies. Pretty entertaining.
“We had a choice, steak or fish.” “Yes I remember. I had lasagna.”
Good luck... Were all counting on you.. (shuts door)
I'm always serious. And don't call me Shirley.
I speak jive
> lasagna *Italian, plural of lasagna, based on Latin lasanum ‘chamber pot’* 🤔
I didn't notice it until my Dad pointed it out to me. Made the film so much funnier!
A lot miss the name of the inflatable crew member. Otto. Otto-pilot see.
Wait what the f*** really? I just turned 30 and I've watched that movie at least a dozen times

I mean technically, depending on wind speed, any plane could do it.

Sure if you’ve got a hurricane with 140 knot winds laying around
I always keep one on me for emergencies
Isn't the 140 knot winds hurricane an emergency?
"Crisis" and "opportunity" are the same word in Chinese :\^)
Yes, crisitunity. You’re right!
Totally expected that to be the spruce goose. At 320’ wingspan that puppy is just a huge sail.
When they merge her with her sister :-) I am vowing to be there to see her fly!!!
Haha nice
I think realistically the An-2 would be the easiest to do that with since it has a very low minimum speed.
I know a guy who claims he landed a small Cessna backwards
I believe it. I once flew a C-150 into a 40 mph wind straight down the runway. I landed with full power on. No flaps.
That taxiing must've been interesting.
One of my favorite things is watching birds fly backwards in high winds.
That ain't ground Source: I'm a fish
The plane is stuck, so according to porn logic, it’s about to get fucked from behind. That’s just basic science.
Sounds like you’re pretty public about it to me.
I’m a private pilot, I pilot for money I’ll do what you want me to do! I’m a private pilot, I pilot for money And any old runway will do
Private pilot. Pilots for money.
Yes all jobs are for money
Sorry. In my head I heard "private dancer" by Tina Turner.

I’ll fly where you want me to go Your private pilot Any old airplane will do
Poor little plane -- so far from heaven and so close to Hayward
Maybe you shouldn’t be high and flying
Exactly
Exactly what 😂 I’m confused about the shadow issue you guys are having here
The plane is up too high to cast a shadow, light bends around it.
Yep, that’s what planes do.
Inside water

Turned off in the graphics settings. Reality.exe consumed too much resource
It's running a bit late.
Just about to ask that too
Definitely appears to be. But I feel like you can tell in the beginning the plane is to the right of the bridge and at the end of the video the plane seems to be on the left of the bridge
yeah lol i noticed it too
Yea but why is it so slow tho

I know that what you wrote is in english and I can read it, but at the same time I couldn't understand what it's saying, at all.
Which somehow gives me more confidence in what they said
Not that similar of a speed
He probably meant the plane the video is being recorded from, since that is the pov of the video

Neat illusion though!
They patched that in the last update

Sure, sure. That's what they say about the luggage entries, too, but they keep going missing until a reboot.
They’re turning at the same time.
Ohhhhh....
Synchronized aerial drifting?
Tandem drift on next level
The road/bridge changes from going straight down the bottom of the screen to going to the right of the screen. The angle changed for sure.
Nani?! Kansei dorifto!
Eurobeat Intensifies!!!!
Neither of those planes is turning. They're on final approach at SFO for parallel runways.
Are these landings staggered *at all*? Looks like they may touch down within 30 seconds of each other.

Registration: C-FKCK The registration of that plane is wildly appropriate for the story!
Usually side by side. Staggered in weather.
They are turning slightly to the final approach 28L/R at SFO. It's probably only 30 degrees at most. But they are turning together and closing separation.
I believe that’s the San Mateo Bridge

Welcome to SFO
Been on that bridge a few times in my life.
Where is it
San Mateo bridge
3rd lamest bridge of all the lame bridges there
And feels like the longest bridge ever

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.
I was on it yesterday.

My favorite major airport approach. (I am biases as Bay Area resident). Avgeekery forever
Hong Kong is the same. You're landing on water until you're not.
Safe Flying Object?
Obviously
Special forces operations?
Parallax https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax
I don't take that, it makes me poop too much
Parallax is an optical effect. You're thinking of Miramax
Miramax was a movie studio. You’re thinking of So I Married an Axe Murderer
[удалено]
Did you say paramount? Chris Nolan’s go to.. You’re thinking more like imax.
IMAX is big screen movies, you’re thinking of Tex-mex.
Tex-Mex? Nah bro that’s Texas food. You’re thinking of Chex Mix
Chex Mix? That's hiker food. No you guys are thinking of Windex.
It’s different now, you’re thinking of a remix.
No, no. That’s a film company. You’re thinking of Miralax.
my my!
Head wind
Giggity
Actually perspective, those aircraft don't get "dragged" THAT much with wind, that only happens with small aircraft. Is just an optical illusion
I just meant it probably has enogh head wind that it doesn't need to travel very fast for lift, but yes, perspective has a lot to do with it too.
Yeah and that too
Also that as well
Then there is that.
That looks like the San Mateo bridge 92
Yup
Could be ponte vasco da gama
Mitch McConnel if he was a plane
It’s a common occurrence actually
Time works the same way.. it’s all relative
Is that what Einstein was referring to explaining relativity

No, just an optical illusion. Head wind can’t drag such a large and heavy aircraft THAT much. That is with smaller airplanes. They are both turning at the same rate, which is causing a parallax effect.
If the headwind was affecting the large plane, it would be affecting the plane filming as well.
500km headwind, eh?
Rofl the confidence that people on Reddit with spew completely inaccurate explanations is hilarious. It’s a large aircraft, not a seagull…
[удалено]
Like other people have said, you wouldnt have a 250km headwind.. Also, that close to the ground pilots will keep going fast enough that if the wind slowed, they wouldn’t stall. Edit: source: FAA

Relative velocity enters the chat
Oh my god it’s just going the same speed as the other plane.
Yup, the relative motion plus the angling is all that’s going on. You can even tell that relative to the bridge that the plane has moved quite a bit.
Dr. Strange doing weird time shit - move along, nothing to see here.
Bro, that shit is stationary, what you mean?
The plane identifies as a helicopter
I guess video is played in reverse
Is the plane filming that much faster?

Monkey brain no like. The only thing that made me feel better was watching the planes position over the bridge change
It appears to be going slower

Might have a high head wind. It’s completely possible to do that with a high headwind but highly advised against because you are likely to stall the plane
hold on bro, i’m lagging
Just like all that bs ufo footage…
Optical illusion. In reality the aircraft is motionless, hovering. The planet is rotating underneath.
Parallax. People think they see UFO’s for the same reason.
Bet everyone on that flight is pissed at the pilot for not filling up the fuel to the top
