Hi, my name is John Eskow, and i wrote this movie. Thanks for your fascinating insights! Thanks also for the open-minded and objective approach. You have a real flair for this work! I had several Air America pilots as tech advisors, so credit to them for the things i got right, and definitely my bad for the errors! The fact that the stunt crew could pull of those crashes with no CGI is, i think, pretty amazing....ever wonder how you stage a long, long belly slide like the one you made the (hilarious) KY joke about?......You have to DRAG it with incredibly powerful cables that are thin enough not to show up on film! Quite an undertaking! We've screened the movie at the Oshkosh air show several times, which is fun, but the most meaningful thing for me was getting mail from the widows of several pilots saying they were pleased to see their husbands' sacrifice finally recognized. Anyhow... Thanks again!

I miss my husband so much. All I have left are his log books and memories. He flew for pleasure but his job was as a civil engineer for the government. He died 20 years ago in a non aviation accident after 3 days in the ICU. He flew taildraggers; Luscombe, Champ, Globe Swift and even a home built (not his) Pitts Special on it’s maiden flight. He was the first pilot to land on an for-emergency-only very short sloped runway in “the blue” in Arizona. (The Blue Wilderness Area) He flew to California to train with a stunt pilot (memory fails me, maybe it was Wayne Pierce?) and he told me later he was taught how to recover from a spin first, “because that’s what all stunts devolve to”. I’ve only been in the plane when he did a loop and a roll. The rest was his to enjoy. He was a cautious pilot, never a dare devil.

Pilatus Porters were one of the A/C used in Laos. Also C-47, C-46s, Hueys, et al. There were military tacans in Laos. Generally the didn’t stay on the air long due to mortars. The mountains reached 2054 meters and more MSAs reached up to 7-8,000 ft. Lots of craft flew below. Weather was weird there. In the Annamite Range there were two monsoon patterns; one on the East (Vietnam), and another in the west. Cloud decks sometimes were below peaks. They varied ridge line by ridge line. Long Chein was more primitive than the movie portrayed, and had difficult approaches because of a ridge line on one end, and a mountain on the other. And mud.

Hey Kelsey, Back in the early 90's there was a Company hiring pilots who want to build time flying crop dusters. The assignment, if you decide to accept, was in Central America spraying defoliant over poppy plants. There was some armor around the pilot tub. You wore a flak jacket and issued necessary firearms and ammo incase you were downed.

I was taught by the AF that when welding inside the fuel tank it isn't the liquid fuel that's the problem, it's the fumes that will ignite. Never tested that myself since the other maintenance folks always had the tanks empty and strong ventilation going thru it when I need to weld. I would expect the fumes in a half-empty tank would make a nice fireball, though

For pretty much any hydrocarbon fuel you and I will ever run into, the flame can't burn off the solid or even the liquid. Even liquid candle wax doesn't itself burn; it's the bit which got hot enough to turn into a gas which feeds the flame. With a flame the solid wax is heated enough and liquefied. The liquid closest to the flame becomes hot enough that it's gassified, providing more fuel to feed the flame so that it can melt more wax to the point it's liquefied so that... You can usually fly on one engine as long as it's big enough but really small twin engine aircraft like some with Indian names are considered to have one engine split between two propellers. Even empty, with a lone pilot they're not staying up if that pilot weighs more than a couple of hundred pounds. As for those fuel gauges on the small plane, when I got my ticket shortly before the millennium change, on small aircraft only had to be correct at two positions: E and F. I haven't seen anything about that having changed and I shudder to think about the resulting chaos an AD (airworthiness directive) requiring them to actually function could cause. You fill the wings, you know your burn rate, you can watch the flow on many planes, good enough. Keep your blue up and your brown down.

It's even worse than that you can have that tank completely inspected cleaned out and certified no vapor by The specialist person who does it with a license and do you know how long that certification is good for. One minute. If you are welding on a tank the heat alone can cause enough vapor to come out of the pores of the metal to explode.

A couple of points, the first wasn't part of the flying. Air America did actually exist. It was a CIA front company. The kind of cargo they hauled in the film was part of the deal. One of the problems they had was that the guy the agency got to run Air America was actually a good business man (not a primary job requirement in this case). They were actually making money, and American Airlines and Pan Am started to take an interest in doing cargo operations in Southeast Asia. Flying related: I was a Huey Mechanic in the US Army. A Hueys run on JP4. We ALWAYS filled the fuel tanks before bringing them into the hangar, as the fumes are more explosive than the liquid. The Pilatus actually had a larger chance of an explosion with empty tanks based on what I know. All that said... excellent video, as usual!

That wing explosion, the only way I know of for that to happen is if the fuel is trailing out the back in a vapor stream. Even gelatinized fuel can ignite with explosive results once it has spread out into tiny droplets mixed with lots of air. This same effect is why there is no smoking allowed at paper mills and flour mills.

my dad was a cropduster pilot, he told me a dropduster pilot isnt experienced until he has crashed at least once. Another thing he told me was that he applied for a job once flying for Air America. I was shocked. He said his experience with short take offs and landings at unimproved airstrips was just what they were looking for. But he turned them down when they insisted he get his multiengine rating at his own expense before they would hire him.

Despite all the silly plane crashing videos on this channel. This channel has really helped subdue my anxiety of flying.. having a better understanding of how airplanes work.

Over my career I have flown 130 different SEL&S and 25 MEL aircraft and hold ATP's in four countries. I see you are a copilot and did not know that the C123K does not have fuel in the wings only the aft part of the engine nacelle and we burned 115/145 octane fuel in both the recips and jets. My book "Flight" by Hansen details some of the adventures I had in SEA and being shot down in Laos in a C123K.

God bless you Kelsey! Now I know that I will never win against a propeller! I wanted to fight one next week. Without you, I would have died! Love your videos!

Hey Kelsey, about that explosion part, the C123 was equipped with Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp (radial piston engine) and it was running on gasoline, so the explosion would be possible. Just in case you didnt know :)

It uses Aviation Gasoline (AvGas), which is even more explosive then regular gasoline. I could see the movie explosion happening. Engine explodes, then fire travels up the fuel lines into the fuel tanks, which will be full of vapors. Also, Jet fuel may not be explosive, but the vapors and fumes are very explosive. I'm talking special hook up and disconnect procedures, no electronic devices allowed, and run if there's a spill.

@@russbell6418 yes!! That’s the one I was thinking of. Thanks!

Kelsey! One thing about the C123 aside from the jet engines indeed running on the same 100LL that the R2800s did was that since the C123 was designed as a glider initially, the wings were not ever used to carry fuel. All the fuel was carried in the external pods outboard of the jets and in tanks that were part of the fairings behind the engine firewall. In some cases the C123 could have cargo bay mounted removable tanks but usually only for ferry flights. Another point with the C123 being able to safely fly on one engine, kinda not really especially when carrying even a light payload. That's why the jets were added and used primarily for takeoff and climb or in the instance of engine failure. It was a weird plane!

I was oddly obsessed with this movie as a young teen. Probably seen it 100 times. Thanks!

Love the videos keep it up Kelsey. My brother is an aircraft maintenance engineer at a major Ontario airport, his insights and yours have given me a real appreciation for everyone involved in safe aviation 👍

The actor who has the line “The problem is we need more of them” is said by Ken Jenkins also known as Dr. Kelso from Scrubs!

I only discovered your channel this morning and I must say I love it, it is nice to see a professional pilot openly joke about things like "Or maybe that was a layover with crew.". Love your presentation and your attitude - thank you. Subbed and liked.

I’ve been waiting for the next video ! I saw this and was surprised it’s a new one. Welcome back

I flew the DC-6 for 6 years. One correction, on a radial engine like this and engine fire is a real big emergency. You have about 4 to 5 minutes to get the fire extinguished. If the fire continues beyond 4 to 5 min the fire will burn through the spars and the wing will fail. If the prop is not feathered the fire will most likely not be able to be extinguished. Like 74 Gear says you won't just throw switches, on each aircraft type there is a fire procedure.

FYI, Air America the movie was based on Air America a Central Intelligence Agency front company that was created for supporting the agency during the Vietnam War in Southeast Asia. This movie all takes place in the war zone. So playing fast and loose with regs will be order of the day.

I caught you, Kelsey! When the C-123 lands, and the wing explodes, you made the statement that jet fuel doesn't explode like that. You are correct in that. But, GASOLINE do! Now, the C-123 does have two jet engines. These jets are "aftermarket" add ons, for use when additional power is required, like take-offs and running away from the enemy, so jet fuel tankage is minimal. The main engines are behind the propellers, which are gasoline powered, radial type, 18 cylinder piston engines. The majority of fuel tankage in the wing is of the gasoline variety. We're talking a whole lot of 115/145 Avgas. Would you care to revise your statement about the wing exploding? (Love your videos, so you still get a 👍)

In Vietnam we used the Beaver L-20 for flying over tree tops on recon missions to find VC hiding spots in the jungles. sometimes 20 feet off the ground. Dangerous to the spotter who had to be looking down all the time while bent over. Got to remember, if the script calls for a 5 minute belly landing, the landing will take 5 minutes. I remember Air America Well and they did some crazy stuff. which I won't post.

Finally, been waiting for your to review this film forever :D

The use of Pilatus Porters and tiny dirt airstrips was typical of Air America ops in Laos. So was the pure guts the AA civilian pilots showed when they flew unarmed and unarmored search and rescue missions under fire to rescue downed military pilots.

The C-123 is a piston aircraft that uses AVgas, very volatile, I watched a C-119 land in king salmon alaska in the 1980’s, he had a fuel leak in the right wing, and when he pulled the power off with the mixture full rich he got a stack fire and it blew the right wing off just outboard of the engine. When he came to a stop, both engines were running. The co-pilot exited thru the door in the clam doors in the back while the plane was still rolling out leaving the pilot to shut down by himself, needless to say the co-pilot lost his ticket for a year over it. So if you have the cross feed open during landing fuel will continue to flow to the engine, and yes you can and many companies train their pilots to land with the cross feed open in case you have to do a go around with low fuel. And it’s the fumes that explode not the fuel but the fuel will igniter.

Until the last moment that they realized the mistake, but it's too late and the aircraft crashed into a river. It is later revealed that the ex-military captain had gone confused about the cockpit indication but still arbitrary shut the wrong engine, without doing a crosscheck with the FO. The FO even once challenged the captain but was dismissed. A sad incident caused by the violation of standard operating procedures. The airline ceased operation one year later because of this crash combined with another crash several months prior.

However in this movie, the turbines are not installed, you can look right through the casings of the turbines and see they are empty.

Yep, The turbines ran on jet fuel too. In the old days, they had 115/145 AVGAS. Good stuff, the don't make it anymore.

Yep you can still get 115/145 but it’s a boutique fuel and very expensive. It’s the only way you can run warbirds at max boost.

@@Bartonovich52 Thanks! I didn't realize 115/145 could still be had for a price! My Dad was a Plane Captain (flight engineer in modern parlance) on P2V=5F & -7 Neptune's. Two 3350s recips and two J-34 turbojets. Those days, all they ran was 115/145.

Not 100LL in those days. Basically you had 80 and 100 octane and the military and airlines ran pistons that needed 115/145. Dunno what Air America ran in the piston aircraft (not sure if the C-47s and C-46s needed) in those days...they had some aircraft like Beech 18s that didn't need or like 115. I lived in Laos a lot between 1965 and 1972...actually started learning to fly in a Wren 460 (ex-CASI Continental Airlines subsidiary that did pretty much the same kind of work there...my CFI owned the only minature golf course in Laos...had the remains of a Twin Pin at the course) there...think it was run on 100 octane. Going to Oshkosh years ago and stopped at a fair sized airport for fuel. They had NO 100 octane...a KC-97 took every drop they had so my understanding that the 115 octane engines can run on 100 but you have to run lower power settings which of course limit most importantly your take-off limits.

Hollywood vs reality Airport 77 and Concord Airport 79. Two of the most far fetched movies ever made!

Hey Kelsey! Amazing content once again! You should totally do "The Aviator" next :D

"Never win against a propeller" Funny, I was a ramp rat about 20 years ago. Co-worker walked into the propeller of a Dash-8, and survived.

I've done some questionable partying, and I never covered my entire body with KY Jelly. Never.

Some affordable Tri-Pacers, but it's all the old Ford/Chevy argument. Everyone that owns a plane thinks theirs is the best. (They're all wrong. Mine is the best.) Find affordable and flyable. Remember all it will demand is all you've got. For now, give math, science, English, mech arts, etc. all you've got.

Thanks for your educational video.

i love how he makes aviation fun keep it up :)

this makes me want to watch Air America again.. I am glad I found your channel. My uncle had a plane and flew but stopped some years ago when he felt it was becoming too dangerous for him. I think about Harrison Ford.. has he been grounded yet?.

Glad to see you again....LOVE the haircut, you always look sharp!!
