It would be sort of fun to watch:
The absolutely most expensive show on earth, featuring the most destructive inventions ever.

I appreciate a gratuitous bit of "Fuck me!", now and again.

I'm a fan of the surprise low pass:

Low enough to send the beach canopies and umbrellas aloft!

He's dumping fuel? That's the only thing that might do that is lite oil. I don't know why planes dump fuel, but it's a thing. Philthijinx help please Sir.

Products of combustion include water vapour which quickly freezes into ice crystals at altitude and forms condensation trails.
The rainbow effect suggests light refracted through those crystals.

Fuel dumping usually occurs in an emergency when the aircraft has to reduce to its maximum landing weight.
This can be governed by runway length available and associated braking performance, and also the need not to over stress the airframe.

Here's the ATC recording and some video from an incident where a British Airways 747 experienced an engine surge, and subsequent shut down, on departure from Phoenix.
Fuel was dumped away from residential areas and the aircraft returned safely about an hour later.

Just prior to 9 minutes, the incoming aircraft looked like they were shuffling cards.
I was always intrigued by the planes approaching Philly airport, from north to south at night. Looking at them from just south of the runway I could see as many as 8 or 10 sets of headlights in the que for landing. I know they were miles apart but also moving fast.

Have you looked at Flightradar24?

Heh, the Frontier from Denver to Philly is estimated to be 29 minutes early, must have caught that big blow coming across the country for a tail wind.

Better stand back folks, it takes 9 ft 5 inches to land this baby...

Diaphone Jim · 03-14-2019, 01:04 PM

I found this last year and, when I saw the long landing above, knew I had to find it again.

It doesn't count in a 40 mph headwind.
