Wow huh, if it was like Borat I'd understand, but that looks like a normal modern woman who watches TV and goes to nail salons, and... knows you don't go for a stroll on the wing for some "fresh air!"

It's happened a fair amount in China as well. People opening up the emergency exit "to get some fresh air*," not realizing the fact that the air inside the plane is probably 100000x better than the air in China and *especially* the air around an airport. Every time I've taken a flight out of Dulles the minute I get out of the airport shuttle you're smacked in the face with Eau du JP5. * and probably smoke a cigarette, because China.

This report just came out from an accident in May 2019 at YYZ where a Dash-8 hit a fuel truck while taxiing: https://nationalpost.com/news/hyste...n-investigation Most of the injuries were from idiots disregarding instruction and being panicky morons. My favourite is the people who opened the wing exits and bailed out while the props were still spinning  Also highlighted how lap carried babies are basically projectiles (in this case the babies were ok apart from some minor bruising) I did this once and felt nervous the whole loving time, would not recommend.

I had no idea the venerable Stoof was still finding employment as a dihydrogen monoxide chemtrail dispenser, nearly 70 years after it was first developed.

Fire bombing is an entirely different thing that is highly ineffective at combating wildfires. This is one of my pet peeves, right up there with use of the term "pet peeve"

Well they didn't teach the relationship of airspeed to lift or that you can't use the yoke as a steering wheel on the ground, so there was room in the curriculum for it.

They definitely teach how pulling back on the yoke as hard as you can will always solve any problem you encounter.

I just noticed that at the end he turns the yoke well past 90 degrees to the right. Is that common? In the (few) planes I've flown they all stop when they're vertical.

No he’s trying to steer with the yoke, to predictable results

Well yes, I know, but I've never seen a yoke that turns more than 90 degrees each way. They hit a stop and that's the end of the travel. But right at the end he's got the thing nearly flipped over. Do some C172s have yokes that can turn past vertical, or is he just yanking it so hard that he broke the cables?
