Are you able to make the gifs (etc useful formats) yourself from video? Thread could probably drown you with good videos inside 30min if so

The aircraft’s success as the fastest commercial passenger plane in history lies firmly on the as-yet untested theory of cold fusion via a "cold fusion nuclear reactor" that would power two ramjet engines and four next-generation hybrid turbojets.


So this is some Dahir Insaat level rear end-pull.


Nuclear aircraft can be done, but commercial transport is not gonna be it.

On the best aviation related subreddit it’s insisting that they should’ve proceeded to secondary minimums.

I'm not exactly sure what the instructor is saying just before the final turn, "Slow it down to _____ speed," but that's when both engines basically go to idle, while a couple hundred feet low, THEN into another turn. Oof.

Evidently the trainee pilot idled the engines. I've listened to enough recollection by Lemoine and Major Kong to know that the T-38 has an extremely fast approach speed.

My guess is when the pilot - who was Japanese - heard "slow it down," he just idled the throttles and the instructor didn't catch it in time. The video's description goes into way more detail - even detailing down to the second when the last moment to eject would've been.

He was referring to speeds as colors - “yellow speed” on the descent and then “slow it down to green speed” near the end.
