A routine landing turned into tragedy. This footage shows the August 5, 2017 MV-22B Osprey accident aboard USS Green Bay (LPD-20) during a training exercise in Shoalwater Bay, Australia. Investigators found that despite the crew applying maximum power, the aircraft was unable to overcome the complex airflow and rotor... downwash around the ship during the landing attempt. The Osprey struck the flight deck, rolled overboard, and entered the sea. Twenty-three personnel survived, but three U.S. Marines tragically lost their lives. A sobering reminder that even the world's most advanced aircraft can be challenged by the unforgiving realities of flight—and that military training carries real risks. Rest in peace to the Marines who made the ultimate sacrifice. #MV22 #Osprey #MilitaryAviation #USMC #AviationSafety #Engineering #NeverForgetshow more

USS Bunker Hill The ship survived what should have been its end in less than a minute: Two A6M Zero aircraft struck the ship just 30 seconds apart. The first kamikaze crashed through the flight deck, hitting planes that were fully fueled and armed for takeoff; the second struck the island (the command tower). Both dropped bombs that detonated inside the ship, turning the hangar deck into a furnace of burning gasoline and exploding ammunition. A total of 393 people perished in the disaster. It remains the deadliest attack on a U.S. aircraft carrier that managed to be saved and return to port. In a desperate move, the crew purposely listed (tilted) the ship, allowing the burning fuel to spill off the deck into the sea, preventing the fires from reaching the main ammunition magazines. This heroic effort just saved the ship and their lives.

Russian investigators have released the final report of their inestigation into the crash of an Aeroflot Sukhoi Superjet in May 2019, that killed 41 occupants. "The cause of the aviation accident involving the RRJ-95B aircraft (registration RA-89098) was the uncoordinated control inputs by the captain during the flare phase of landing and during the repeated bounces of the aircraft off the runway (“porpoising”), which were characterized by multiple, disproportionate, alternating movements of the control stick, with it being held at extreme positions. These control actions led to three hard landings, and during the second and third landings, the absorbed energy levels significantly exceeded the maximum values considered during the aircraft type certification strength assessment. This resulted in the destruction of structural load-bearing elements of the airframe, rupture of fuel tanks with fuel spillage, and the outbreak of a fire."

On November 21, 2021, a Cessna 172N was involved in an accident during a solo pattern flight at Old Bridge Airport in New Jersey. The student pilot had completed several takeoffs and landings with a flight instructor earlier that day and was cleared for solo operations. During a solo landing, the airplane bounced, and the pilot initiated a go-around. During the initial climb, the aircraft pitched up sharply, entered an aerodynamic stall, turned to the left, and descended to the ground. The airplane impacted the left side of the runway, sustained substantial damage, and a post-impact fire ensued. The student pilot sustained minor injuries. The NTSB determined the probable cause was the student pilot’s loss of control during the go-around, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall. 📸 runthisshitt

The Russian-made SSJ-100 aircraft that caught fire yesterday during landing in Antalya, had a history of significant issues: four aborted takeoffs in the past year and a half, and an engine failure during one flight. Other problems included damage to the landing gear doors, malfunctioning engine status and crew alert system, and incorrect engine operation. As we can see, import substitution in Russia is progressing along the same lines as the special operation—straight into disaster.

Rare Footage of a Gunner Laid to Rest With His Aircraft 🫡 In 1942, Loyce Edward Deen left his home in Oklahoma to join the U.S. Navy. Serving as an aerial gunner aboard a TBF Avenger torpedo bomber on the aircraft carrier USS Essex, he took part in numerous Pacific operations, including the Philippines, Iwo Jima, Leyte, and others. On November 5, 1944, during a mission over Manila Bay, his aircraft was struck by enemy anti-aircraft fire. Loyce, just 23 years old, was killed instantly. Footage shows sailors taking his fingerprints and retrieving his dog tag - yet they never remove him from his seat. Why? The answer is both simple and profoundly moving. The aircraft, too severely damaged to be repaired, was scheduled to be committed to the sea. In an extraordinarily rare tribute for the time, especially during an era when every airplane was precious, Loyce Deen was laid to rest still strapped in the cockpit of the plane he flew. The crew gathered on deck to bid him farewell, honoring both the man and the machine that carried him through battle.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The Russian FSB claims they stopped a Ukranian GRU attempt to hijack a Russian MIG-31 fighter with a hypersonic missile. Reportedly, the GRU offered $3 million cash and citizenship to the pilot. The operative claimed he was not trained to land the aircraft, and he was offered an in person instruction during a flight over the Black Sea. The Russian FSB claims the plan was to assassinate the operative while conducting the training flight, and the 2nd pilot would fly the aircraft into Ukraine. Obviously, I can not confirm any of this information.

The real accident which was later re-used for movies... June 23 1951: a US Navy F9 [Reg. “125228”] crashes attempting to land on carrier USS Midway, off Virginia (US). Pilot George C. Duncan survives. Accident occurred on trials, draft pushed the jet below deck. Despite his injuries, Duncan was back to flying duties within six months. The accident was caused by an unexpected downdraft that caused the jet to drop just before the flight deck, leading to a severe "ramp strike." The aircraft struck the edge of the deck and tore completely in two, bursting into massive flames. The forward cockpit section skidded violently down the wooden deck with Duncan inside. Remarkably, deck crews pulled Duncan from the burning wreckage, and he survived with only minor injuries, including scorched ears, returning to flight within six months. Because the crash was captured on film, it became a crucial safety training tool for naval aviators. But the iconic footage also crossed over into pop culture, being featured as stock footage in prominent Hollywood films like *Men of the Fighting Lady* (1954), *Midway* (1976), and *The Hunt for Red October* (1990)—where it famously stood in for a modern F-14 Tomcat. Duncan went on to have a highly successful naval career, commanding air groups in the Korean War and captaining the aircraft carrier USS Ranger before retiring in 1968. The incident is a reminder of the dangers in early, carrier-based military jet operations before modern safety innovations like angled flight decks and mirror landing systems were introduced.

Spoiler warning on why regulations are written in blood - the checklist debacle that caused one of Canada´s worst aircrashes was OTD, 56 years ago July 6 1970: Air Canada 621, a DC-8, crashes in Toronto (Canada), and all 109 aboard die. After a hard landing, the #4 engine and part of the wing fell. The crew was attempting a go-around when the jet exploded. The investigation pointed out issues with SOP related to the deployment of ground spoilers. More details on this accident below, which is a textbook example on “why” not to invent regarding SOP, in this case regarding lift spoilers, a device which is activated on landing to reduce lift and slow the aircraft. The crew of Air Canada 621 (Captain Hamilton and First Officer Rowland) had an informal arrangement to handle spoilers differently depending on who was flying, deviating from standard procedure. The landing flare reduces descent just before touchdown, and if spoilers are armed, they deploy automatically upon landing. Instead of arming them during the pre-landing checklist as required, the captain favored deploying them only after touchdown, while the co-pilot preferred doing so during the landing flare. Both procedures were unauthorized. During this flight, the captain was landing and asked for spoilers during the flare, which was unusual. The first officer mistakenly deployed them, instead of arming them, causing a sudden loss of lift. The aircraft hit the runway hard, damaging an engine and the wing, but managed to take off again for a go-around. However, fuel leaks ignited, leading to multiple explosions that destroyed the right wing. The aircraft went into an irrecoverable dive and impacted a field, killing all aboard instantly. As expected, the enquiry focused on crew actions. Eight recommendations were made, including redesigning the spoiler activation lever so it cannot be used during flight, strengthening the DC-8’s wings and fuel tanks, and updating Air Canada’s training and operating manuals to clearly define proper spoiler arming and deployment procedures. Video is an extract from the Disaster Breakdown excellent video on the occurrence, titled “Did This Small Mistake Kill Everyone?” (don´t forget to go see it and drop them a like and subscribe)

The MD-11 has always had a critical design flaw. It was manageable until someone screwed up. To improve fuel efficiency and range, its horizontal stabilizer was made smaller than those of earlier DC-10 variants. While the design delivered performance benefits, it also reduced the aircraft's natural pitch stability, particularly at slower speeds during approach and landing. To help compensate, the MD-11 relied heavily on computerized stability augmentation systems. Many crews also preferred flying slightly faster approaches, which improved pitch stability but could make the aircraft more challenging to manage during touchdown due to its weight and sensitivity in roll and yaw. These characteristics became evident in several high-profile accidents. In 1997, a FedEx MD-11 arriving at Newark was reportedly operating under the belief that runway length was limited, prompting the crew to aim for an immediate touchdown. The aircraft landed hard, bounced, and became unstable. Instead of executing a go-around, attempts to salvage the landing resulted in another severe impact, collapsing the landing gear and destroying the aircraft in a post-crash fire. All five crew members survived. The accident highlighted a key lesson: when an MD-11 bounced significantly after touchdown, a go-around was often the safest option. That lesson resurfaced in tragic fashion in 2009 at Narita, Japan. During strong and gusty crosswinds, a FedEx MD-11 touched down hard and bounced. Believing the aircraft could still be recovered onto the runway, the crew attempted to continue the landing. The resulting control inputs led to an even harder impact, loss of control, and a crash that destroyed the aircraft and claimed the lives of both pilots. 📹: buybygb
