in the world of Aviation routine flights can quickly turn into terrifying moments so what happens when even the most skilled Pilots face the unexpected today we're showing you some of the most unbelievable scenes ever captured in the skies because up there every second counts [Music] what started as an exhilarating jump turned into a Race Against Time as the aircraft began to sputter and lose altitude due to a collision luckily all passengers aboard made it down safely with adrenaline pumping and panic setting in the skilled Pilots fight to regain control this havin be plane takeoff seemed
awesome until but in a perfect twist of fate everyone involved walked away without a scratch somewhere in the Illinois Sky a routine flight took an unexpected turn when a Canadian goose crashed through the windshield first flown in 1943 the vampire wz 507 has a takeoff speed of around 100 knots making it a nightmare for bad airport roads as this pilot aimed for the makeshift Runway things started to go sideways literally someone's going to need some new landing gear and that's for sure built in 1987 to replace the Challenger the Space Shuttle Endeavor embarks on its
final Journey from the Kennedy Space Center it's a moment that reminds us of human Ingenuity and the incredible Adventures that await beyond our atmosphere in this clip we see the massive A2 Colt a Soviet era Bane coming in for what was supposed to be a smooth Landing but things didn't go as expected the aircraft touches down way too early well short of the runway likely due to Pilot error but thankfully no injuries were incurred in this jaw-dropping moment a wing walker takes flight to an entirely new level I mean come on even I'm getting dizzy
jet blast can reach speeds of over 100 mph powerful enough to blow over heavy Vehicles just like this one [Music] [Applause] here comes the Su 24m with a low pass so close You' think it's trying to read the fine print on the [Music] runway in a true display of midair teamwork we've got one KC 135 Strat tanker refueling another KC 135 Strat tanker over the Arctic sea it's like they got the ultimate Airborne Pit Stop [Music] the dreamlifter one of the largest cargo planes in the world pops a wheel mid departure but don't worry this
giant bird still managed to safely soar through the skies talk about a heart stopping moment right after takeoff from Denver airport a large chunk of the Boeing 777s engine decided it wasn't coming along for the ride luckily the plane made a safe emergency landing and no one was [Music] hurt here's one of those uh-oh moments for skydivers a reserve parachute deploying by accident good thing most skydivers are well trained to handle these unexpected moments ever seen a small airplane take a detour well this pilot certainly did glad to report the pilot was safe after [Applause]
this what happens when an aircraft travels fast the speed of sound a supersonic lad pass and glass shattering shock waves these two pilots are about to attempt one of the most dangerous stunts ever performed a plane swap which is exactly what you think it is the first Pilot's transition was successful lips are covered however things took a dramatic turn when the second plane lost control thankfully both Pilots emerged unscathed [Music] [Music] with a maximum weight of just 254 lb the ultra light Carrera can be towed across the water while performing thrilling [Music] tricks when taking
off an Airbus A320 with two engines could generate a combined 54,000 to 66,000 lb of thrust what's crazy is the spotters at St Martin Airport know this already and still they chose to stand so close to this Beast Here Comes The Mighty Thompson 78 straight from London Lutton ready to touchdown but wait those Crosswinds are fierce today whipping through at up to 40 knots you can see the plane battling to line up for the [Music] runway so at this point I'm walking away but this reporter decided to stay on our feet now that's way too
close for comfort talking about staying dedicated to the story speaking of dedication if you've been here this long you might as well subscribe to our channel so you can check out more videos in the future this as350 ba helicopter was having a bit too much fun at Bear Creek Lodge buzzing the lodge during a hella skiing trip the pilot eases back on the cylic but the rotor disc is under so much force that the hydraulic servos just can't keep up thankfully no one was hurt it's like standing still no this isn't Magic it's an incredible
optical illusion known as the Parallax effect wow 3 Birds might look small but they can pack a serious punch when they're going that speed 100 okay so this might be a good time to tell you skydivers fall at speeds of up to 120 mph that's faster than your average roller coaster just without the track this is Windsor Ontario where speed meets skill at the Red Bull Air Races unfortunately for the pilot his left wing dips not so much that he loses control of the aircraft but enough to graze the water lucky for him he quickly
recovered and returned safely to the race airport in his slightly damaged airplane damage on the wing tip um but that looks like no Factor um uh you you can uh stand back if you like and I'll get Nigel uh on there and uh get an appraisal for him towels fly flying hats blown away and hair whipped about this is what St Martin is famous for wow it's not every day you crash a plane and then get saved from an oncoming train fortunately the pilot was pulled out before it happened and nobody was [Music] hurt I
just can't wait till these drone cake deliveries become an actual [Music] thing one is these engines pushing out enough force to move hundreds of tons literally Shred the road beneath them from spoiled roads to destroyed fences when this Beast Powers up the fence at the end of the runway doesn't stand a chance oh my God holy [Music] [ __ ] crap that was so low at St Bart's airport there is no room for mistakes next up is Edinburgh airport where a couple of birds almost stopped this plane from taking off thankfully it was still able
to head to its destination safely meet Shockwave a jet power truck powered by three jet engines cranking out an insane 36,000 tons of horsepower look at it go [Music] [Music] takeoff may be routine but for from this angle you can't help but appreciate just how incredible it really is this Robinson r44 helicopter while dropping off a couple for their prom got a little too close for comfort with some power lines no harm no foul however as the the pilot skillfully takes control it's h Jay Leno stepping out of a cockpit mid-flight has to be the
greatest sketch of all time time ever wondered what happens when a massive Boeing 777 hits turbulence well here you go fantastic [Applause] [Music] [Applause] M hour now I can't say to the practicality of this particular skill but damn that's [Applause] impressive nothing crazy here just a quick 400 to 500 revolutions per minute on this badass Chopper damn well that's one way to take a break from the turbulence imagine looking out your window mid-flight and seeing your plan's engine fail in real time there it is oh it's cool yeah it's hit that is cool oh that
is cool oh man that is yeah you know we couldn't leave out the legendary SR71 Blackbird designed for Speed and stealth this aircraft was The Ultimate Spy machine during the Cold War as storm Kathleen rolls in our brave Pilots are ready to face the crosswind landing challenge headon will they succeed find out in today's episode of to land or not to land Nolla Edition in [Music] the airboss A380 is offer regarded as the world's largest passenger airliner measuring at a whopping 238 ft long with a wingspan that's wider than the height of the Statue of
Liberty [Music] now that's how you're supposed to make a plane feel special just a little hand massage before takeoff a plane experiencing mechanical issues made a belly landing safely at Los Angeles International Airport luckily the very skilled pilot managed to make it out without any injuries wow at that speed I think it just broke the sound barrier and maybe some eard drums [Applause] too looks like someone forgot to check their landing gear before takeoff Red Bull really does give you wings just another day in the world of quick ejections and close calls thankfully the pilots
landed safely oh that was a really hard Landing but these rugged helicopters were built for days like these I guess this is not just a quick paint job but a line between destruction and survival as the plane swoops in with fire retardant to prevent a home from burning during one of the Southern California wildfires woo oh my God that looks like we just got I to you the mostar aircraft in the world today your United States Air Force St 22 [Applause] Raptor the Magnificent us AF F-22 Raptor jet is is fast enough to reach speeds
of over mock 2 and boasts incredible agility making it a formidable force in aerial combat here's what thousands of flight hours will get you the ability to perform hair raising Maneuvers and dangle upside down at crazy altitudes yay everyone's dream right class 2020 three you are talk about setting the bar too high for future graduations the Air Force Academy graduation Thunderbird flyover is one of those spectacles that gets you jealous of the military [Music] put two former military Pilots inside the cockpit of a Boeing 787 and the result is going to be nothing short of
amazing fair warning if you have a fear of heights maybe skip this one [Music] the infamous F22 Cobra and flare maneuver showcases the Raptor's ability to maintain High angles of attack allowing it to outmaneuver adversaries in combat situations next up we have the incredible Concord flying over Buckingham Palace I think they're saying it all I don't think we need to say anything else the Royal Air Force Red Arrows performs a spectacular display at the Royal International Air tattoo rat with some red and mighty bae syst syst Hawk [Music] t1s the active flying upside down also
known as inverted flight requires a deep understanding of aerodynamics and the specific handling characteristics of the aircraft now in more simpler terms this pilot is badass in environments where a jet can't perform a short takeoff an f35b can execute a vertical takeoff with a limited amount of fuel looks like his phone decided it wanted to have a solo Adventure the phone [Applause] [Music] now here's a dumb way to lose a finger man he is so lucky he didn't get hurt this time yeah this right here this is my worst nightmare forget about straight lines life
is all about angles I didn't know Splash Landing was a thing just another day on the job for this pilot in his F-22 Lord the jumbo Corsair 747400 with 875,000 lb of weight showing off its size at Maho Beach who needs seat belts when you can have the wind in your hair pretty good for his first time don't you think here comes the F35 slicing through the air at a jaw-dropping 700 M hour meet Dario Costa the first pilot to fly a plane through a tunnel and at an astonishing speed of 250 kmph no less
[Music] this is Aviation at its wildest a gravity defined dance that'll have you on the edge of your seat 2 3 I guess the engine on this airboss wanted to make a fiery [Music] exit that pilot definitely deserves a medal for best recovery [Music] and this my friends is why Landing a plane is generally considered to be more challenging than taking off [Music] sticking with the theme of bad Landings this is one flight that I would hate to be on I don't think the Cincinnati fans were ready for this were [Applause] you the Cobra maneuver
is one of the toughest moves in all of Aviation so that makes this clip even harder to actually believe don't click off yet if you love our videos subscribe now and hit that Bell and wait there's more videos for you right here on the screen just click on the one that grabbed your interest and enjoy see you there
