GA youtube star Flight Chops took an open door flight with that NY helicopter company about a month before the accident. Great video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofjRkCcIO9s

Mr. Despair posted:I'm getting kicked off this place because Minneapolis is a hopeless venture today. Guess it's time to try United via Chicago (assuming Duluth doesn't get shutdown too in the next few hours) I’m kinda  at this because there’s a very good chance you saw me walk off the United Express CRJ, go to the restroom by the restaurant, and then chat with a jumpseater at the gate. Had I known you were trying to get out I would’ve offered to help but we were booked solid my dear goon  At least there was free (albeit lovely) pizza in the terminal! Also gently caress this wintry weather, flying in constant turbulence and icing the last three days has made me so loving glad I’ve got the next 4-5 days off out west. At least this last 4 day trip was with a fun crew, the other pilot does aerobatics as a side business and the stewardess is someone I’ve gone to Hooters with on a previous trip.

I flew out to Dulles a few years ago and was super bummed that even though I could see Udvar-Hazy from my hotel, I never got a chance to go. Well, I finally fixed that by timing my visit with the RAF 100th anniversary fly-in where they had a Lancaster, B-25 and some other warbirds park outside so you could climb aboard and take pictures. Of course I didn't realize any of this was happening until I had to leave for my return flight and the line to get outside was already an hour or more Can't really complain I guess, the amount of Interesting poo poo on display was already off the charts. I played a lot of Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe as a kid so this section was very nostalgic:     Some Crimson Skies in here too  Flak Bait getting restored  Lot of engineering black magic too

Happened at 30k according to FR24 https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/wn1380#1111bb4d So we finally got an answer to that fear/myth/scenario so many have talked about. Nobody sucked out, no instant crash.

It's still scary when engine internals escape the cowling. That's a metric fuckton of energy when one lets go.

That's too bizarre, this might be the first documented instance where a goon rode in a goon-captained jet. Sorry about the delay getting out of the gate, we had to get ballast to offset the jumpseater and deicing was a pain obviously due to weather.

Sorry about the delay getting out of the gate, we had to get ballast to offset the jumpseater and deicing was a pain obviously due to weather. Whatever small delay there was was nothing compared to the delta jet I had just tried to get out on, which was delayed at the terminal waiting for fuel, ballast, a tow bar, weather, and then finally "yeah we're not going anywhere, we have to kick you all off". Not to mention the aborted landing on the way CRJ-900 on the way into Duluth or the laps around Minneapolis before diverting. Your flight/crew came off like super heroes after all the stuff I went through on those first delta flights trying to get into the twin cities, basically.
