Might be good to get some practice in before that maiden voyage, son.

for real though I hope the FAA pulls Trevor Jacobs licence and fines his ass into the ground. FYI, for those who know of this ---smurf-poo---, you might be happy to know his vid currently has 76k thumbs downs and only 14k thumbs up.

I think he has been much maligned. Being sucked out of a plane is a serious problem

Ok, Im not a pilot, but a few things kinda stick out in this film. First, once that door cracked open wouldnt the pressure inside/outside equalize? (no longer sucking).
Second, why and how did the engine restart? Third: why did he unfasten his seat belt? Was the belt defective?
But I do agree, getting sucked out of a plane would be very bad.

bobbyb13:
Agreed.

Totally staged.

They should fine the crap out of him and pull his license.

Also how did he hold onto his selfie stick to film ! ( If he was actually sucked out he wouldn't have kept something in his hand and filmed the aftermath.)

Hehe. It's a tongue in cheek 'analysis' video. What actually happened is the guy deliberately crashed his plane, but pretended it was an engine failure. Hence he happened to have a parachute on, and a gazillion cameras all over including the selfie stick which he had the presence of mind to bring with him.

He's been copping flak from the aviation world for it and rightly so. Getting sucked out of a light plane is not a thing. Most of them (including his and mine) are so leaky there is really no difference in air pressure outside or in. In fact mine can be flown with the doors off. And if course you should always be wearing a seatbelt!

That said, for her next birthday I'm probably going to get her copies of all the Wes Anderson movies on disc since she loves them so much.

I recommend a compromise and get all the Wes Craven films...

In all seriousness, you'll be near the water so add that to your plans if you don't live by the sea already. I live in a seaside town (Canada) and even I don't get out doing water stuff enough. Go kayaking, go on a whale-watching or similar excursion, go eat out at a floating restaurant.
