You guys know #Blancolirio on YouTube, that actual #airline #pilot, who takes his #citizen #journalism stuff very seriously?

That's my guy 👀 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA_UZeHZwSw

He's usually very thorough - i'm subscribed since the #Oroville dam incident. (His Dad was a writer for a local news paper, he said, iirc - must've inherited the proper "journalism genes" from him 🖖😉👍)

Really solid video on the DC crash. Seems to indicate the military helicopter had exceeded it's flight ceiling.

DC Mid Air Update 2/3/25

YouTube

For those of us watching at home trying to understand how the #LAFire grew so quickly, my favorite pilot YouTuber Juan Brown has a great video below from the perspective of a former forest fire fighting pilot.

Jaun mentioned that the high winds (40-70mph) prevented aircraft based fire fighting plus the human encroachment into brush lands evolved to burn regularly amplified the risk.

Kakhovka Dam explosion, flooding, and nuclear power plant video 'splainer

The blancolirio channel on YouTube has an excellent explainer and analysis of the as well as the impacts on the Zaproizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP) upstream of the dam.

Flooding isn't the problem there, but maintaining a supply of cooling water for the plant is. Note that ZNPP which is in cold shutdown so is NOT operating is not presently a major risk. Though it does remain in Russian control.

Blancolirio is a commercial airline pilot who ran an excellent series on an earlier dam incident covering the Oroville Reservoir in northern California following major damage to its spillway in 2017, and subsequent repairs and refurbishment. Very high signal/noise, strongly recommended.

Zum Zusammenstoss zwischen der Reaper-Drohne und einem Suchoi-Kampfflugzeug hat #JuanBrowne #blancolirio ein tolles Erklärvideo gemacht.

Fazit: schlechte Ausbildung der russischen Piloten hat zu diesem Vorfall geführt

"Every go around is an opportunity to land." I think I quoted Juan Browne correctly on that statement. ✈️ #BlancoLirio #GoAround #RejectLanding #WaveOff
