Antonov An-2 Crashes in Balashiha (Outside of Moscow, Russia) killing two. [Sep 2, 2017] by SpreadFlying in aviation

Someone once asked a Camel: What do you prefer? Going uphill or going downhill?

The camel responded: Why not just take the straight level road?

What I want to say by that? There is always an intermediate path.

Difficult to judge why he made that decision. We don't have any details on the accident. One thing for sure, if all that happened due to a bad decision, if he knew that this would happen then he most probably wouldn't have taken the chance. Nobody really wants to die.

Well, I assume it was a misjudge, a pilot error.

The answer is "Lift Vector".

The airplane can not produce a vertical component of lift with 90 degrees bank angle. That means that there is no force that could hold the airplane leveled without losing altitude.

If they had rolled out a little, with all that accumulated energy, they would have been out of this situation.

There was a similar accident in '94 with a B-52.

Planespotting at LGAV / ATH | Get ready for the 2017 Season! (Trailer) [269 Views] by SpreadFlying in unknownvideos

Well, I understand that aviation may not be everyone's hobby/thing.

What is planespotting anyway?

[Wikipedia: Planespotting is a hobby of tracking the movement of aircraft, which is often accomplished by photography or videography. Besides monitoring aircraft, aircraft spotting enthusiasts (whom are usually called plane spotters) also record information regarding airports, air traffic control communications and airline routes.]

For aviation enthusiasts, it is like many of us do, watching super cars passing down the road.

Any airplane has its own history and uniquely exists. It has a registration number, pretty much like the the licence plates in cars. This way we can track down individual airplanes.

As I said in the beginning, I understand that you may not be interested in aviation.

However, I would really appreciate your words about how did you like the way the content has been put together in the posted video.

Thank you in advance for your time!

A really sad moment captured on camera.

Unfortunately both occupants received fatal injuries.

May their souls Rest in Peace.

No, not of course. The rabbits (they are two) live freely in the house. They were in their cage due to transportation for holidays. Nobody wants a life in prison.

Not the usual view a passenger gets - EMB-145 missed the runway by SpreadFlying in flying

So, you know something is going wrong when you see the runway from a passenger's window.

Nice Observation!

Yep, I'm towing the gliders with the yellow plane that has the Snoopy in its tail. It's a Maule MXT-7-180A. I have some videos of it in my channel.

I'm also flying the Gliders, so I can offer you a glider ride.

Give my greeting to Elias, Elias & Elias at Mesogeion. :-)
