Air isnt The problem, it doesn't need much it cruses at 480 mph so its a low power engine, fast enough to get air to keep the engine running, and fast enough to keep sustained lift in low pressure, which is why its wings are huge, hell at sea level it won't stall until its doing 70 mph

@Pugna I'd have to disagree. While the natural order of things does have risks and dangers, nature (when left to itself) is rather peaceful. There is a certain order in nature that you'd have to be incredibly far removed from not to see it. Yes, there are moments of strife, such as when a prey animal is trying to avoid becoming dinner for a hungry predator or when an entire forest full of animals is trying to escape a forest fire, but the peaceful moments far outweigh the conflict. Anyone who has ever spent time in a rainforest, or in the African plains, or even their local woods, cannot help but notice how peaceful and calm things are. Nature, as a whole, is peaceful. It may have moments of agitation, but these moments are necessary and brief before peace returns. Anyone who spends any amount of time in immersed in nature would see this.

Another one is "The SU37 The Legend Exists"...

There is a story that a U2 pilot called his base in the UK and declared an engine emergency. He confirmed that he was at such a height that he could glide back to base. He was over Southern Germany at the time.

I'm glad James May presented this. He is articulate, calm, curious, intelligent, humorous, understated and perfectly sarcastic in his descriptions and speech. He portrayed this opportunity with the right euphemisms.

I love that they captured footage of the airliner below them.

Why would you not feel emotional, looking down on the earth where it gave you life. A very touching moment for James.

At 9:36, listening to James' voiceover makes me believe that he'd be a great narrator for the Sid Meier's Civilization game series.

I come back to this clip every few months, makes me appreciate the beauty of the world we live in. And of course James's happiness always puts a smile of my face.

Why care what flat earthers say , they're just idiots don't humour them

All I can say " you are one lucky lucky guy " and the best one of the 3, well done James well done.
