- The crash of a Beechcraft 1900 in 2008. The aircraft was following an Aloha 737 between Honolulu and Kaui when it descended into the Pacific Ocean in the middle of the night. The sole occupant of the Beech 1900C was killed in the crash.

I follow a number of aviation-oriented RUclips channels. Your choice of material is seldom redundant, and fascinating either way. Also, your narrative style is second to none. You have a new subscriber.
Welcome aboard!
Make that two!
I'm a pilot and I do like the way you described the lack of interest in freight operations safety. It's definitely something I could feel to a certain extent when I transitioned from pax to cargo, although everyone pretends safety is their top priority of course.
this is sad. No attempts of rescue/recovery, no one cared about the safety of the pilot, not even the company
I mile deep. ONE MILE. Why bother? The crabs will have consumed all of his flesh before they can even get the billion dollar submersible and its mother ship to the scene.
Your unique style adds greatly to the story. Film noir, as another commenter said.
Appreciate it!
"Black hole approaches" over unlighted areas such as the ocean in this story have claimed many lives. In the simulators, we all emphasize to our trainees the importance of splitting their scan between the runway and the instruments when doing visual approaches or the visual segment of an instrument approach. Absolutely essential to staying alive.
Great recap and analysis. It's unsettling -- and very said -- how a single oversight, albeit a big one, can mean the difference between heading home for the evening and resting forever on the ocean floor. RIP.
We love your storytelling and we are all pilots. Thanks for doing these...
More to come!
Takes me back, only the turboprop was a Chieftain. Part 135 scheduled passenger ops based at Sedona. Talk about paradise.
Long nights doing approaches to mesa topped runways deep below canyon walls.
Been there.
Love the narrative. Very nearly a film noir detective tone.
One of my new favorite YT Channels! Your way of narrating these accidents into such excellent stories is truly a talent.
I am not involved in any air activities I am simply a retired parole officer I am however very saddened at the loss of life due to air disasters. My thoughts and prayers go out to victims and their families May they rest in peace forever
Dude! Great video/content….The best I have seen on YT! I’m a Instrument/commercial pilot..Been flying for 4 years..1300Hrs & own a 310.& a T210. Keep these coming!!
This is got to be my new favorite flight channel... Everytime you drop a new video I get really hyped
Thanks! Good to hear that!
This is the second video if yours I have watched. Your narration is excellent partly because of your similies. Ill be watching more of your videos. They feel genuine which isnt the norm in a world of social media.
Excellent narration. Sad and sobering ending.
Keep it up. This channels going to be a hit!
Mark my words ! 2/24/23
Thanks! More to come soon!
Found you today and just watched three vids in a row. Nice work. Your tone is perfect for the material.
Thanks for that. It is appreciated!
Love the narrative style. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I enjoy your stuff too, so back at you!
Love your storytelling and the relatability. Keep ‘em coming.
Thanks! More coming soon.
Addicted to this channel, every video feels like i'm watching a noir film
Glad to have you!
really enjoying the way you narrate . Thank you
Thanks!
Condolences to the families. Rip Amen 🙏. Thank you for this educational video friend.
the way you tell these stories are just so imfortative yet so emotional. Im a student pilot and I watch a lot of these types of videos and usually they are just infortmative but having an emotinal effect makes me think, What if that were me? and probably makes me learn more about what happened to prevent it myself. Thank you
Thanks for the comment. I legitimately get to the point where it feels like I know these pilots personally. Glad that comes through, and glad to hear it has a positive impact.
I dropped out of college in 1974 to fly co-pilot on a Beech 99 mail run in Texas. Those needed two pilots back then, but there were also a lot of pilots available. Different worlds of automation between then and now, so I guess I'm not too surprised this guy would be by himself in an airplane that large. I'm more surprised that he busted the MEA on a visual approach with traffic in sight. It just seems to me like the automation that put him up there by himself is also what did him in. Night time over water, never been there, seems spooky af.
Yes, it would be very black featureless - impossible to judge height looking out the window and if too low then glideslipes will be useless anyway. Like you said though, why wasn't he sticking to his MEA...?
I was wondering if he could see his instrument panel.
A seagull at night would cause a lot of damage, two, even more. They would get eaten by sharks very quickly,
One of the scariest sounds is when you hear "FIVE HUNDRED" when you're not expecting it.
Had two CFII friends flying over Lake Superior at night and they said they were super concerned. Night IFR can be a killer especially in a one pilot cockpit. I only fly day VFR as I fly for fun and have absolutely nowhere I need to be that soon
SUBSCRIBED, love the way you deliver your content very refreshing!
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for the evaluation. I know I don't actively think about adding power when using S turns for spacing. I am sure that I do, based on various inputs. In the future I will proactively add some power to reduce the rate of decent. RIP young aviator.
These videos are awesome. Love the personality you put into it man
Glad you like them!
New subscriber here, keep these videos coming! This seems very much like the Air Safety Institute videos but with a very (and much needed) in-your-face touch. You're doing a very good thing here by helping other pilots and operators learn from these tragedies.
I'm a new subscriber and enjoy your videos very much. Best content I have seen in a long time.
Thanks! Welcome to the channel!
Just found your videos. They are fantastic, great work. Looking forward to more of them
Awesome, thank you!
Flew 2 pilot mail and cargo in Hawaii up until I retired a couple years ago. Day and night. This accident could still happen again years later. Sadly, the whole aviation industry is on its butt. There hasn't been a real, appointed FAA Administrator for about a year now. The DOT is more concerned about which gender can use which bathrooms and creating PC acronyms like Notices to Air Missions (NOTAMS) rather than Notices to Airmen than they are about the terrible GA Fatal Accident record. GA is killing many innocents each month due to awful pilot judgement.
@@triggerpointtechnology calm down, my trans boi lol
@@triggerpointtechnology OK, I did some editing.
If you’re so sensitive that the word MISSIONS offends you, you did the world a favor by retiring.
@@banjo2019 Doesn't offend me at all. DOT/FAA have better things to do to make aviation more safe than to worry about PC acronyms.
@@vgrof2315 It DOES offend you, which is why you complained about it in a comment. It’s here for all of us to read dude. We can see it.
Excellent presentation.
Thanks!
Excellent presentation
Thanks!
More vids brother. You are too good at this to not be seen!
Thanks!
Another great breakdown. Thank you
Thanks!
Flying twin turboprops in single pilot ops is a dream job of mine, information like this video will certainly do wonders to improve many pilots out there
Flew single pilot night ops for Ameriflight for exactly one year. Chieftons and Navajos. Some hairy times.
Great channel and info. Dark desert causes similar optical illusions and incidents out here.
I fly to Lihue once in a while building hours. Crazy I never knew someone was buried below the approach path….
As the narrator said. Flying solo at night can be very daunting….
So well written!
Thank you!
So exactly why did the plane crash? He had an altimeter and sea level is generally considered sea level.
Great work! Keep it up!!
Thanks!
Great work
Thanks!
Great Film Noir reads!
Thanks!
"They don't dive that deep for a single-pilot fatality unless you were named after a president." 🤔😂
I’m a student and we practice S turns on final to lose altitude on final. More in engine out practice where you’re just high but a circle would drive you too low. One point of reference at night with darkness every where else, I can see how the disorientation could develop. Perhaps coupled with wake there was increased sink???
Curly Qs ,love the term for wingtip vortices. I’m going to use that one . 👍👍👍
It’s all yours!
@@flyingformoney777 👌
Great story
Thanks!
This is like an aircrash investigation narrated by Dashiell Hammett or Raymond Chandler, I approve
"Newton is not a bad guy but he is unyielding." I laughed as this was a funny not funny for 100, 000 pounds of air.
Did the pilot not have a working, properly set altimeter?
Good content thanks
RIP
Another good reason for two pilot operations in IMC or night ops over a featureless ocean
This, my friends, is what happens when narration meets creativity. Or, as Mark Knopfler aptly said, that's the way you do it.
Thanks!
Well done.
Sad😢
So true so sad RIP
excellent!
Thanks!
Sad....
Altimeter?????????????????
Another good video. Can I get the link for your book please?
Here it is: bellmanmultimedia.com/free-download-page/
I'm no expert, but I'm guessing a radar return of 100 ft below sea level cannot be a good thing.
Only in Death Valley but in this case the term would be correct
Poignant. Sorry, I messed why he was so low...? Wrong QNH?
Wrong glideslope?
Did he get spun in by the preceding 73..?
An engine failure on a weighty twin, that's always a problem, mail.
“…they don’t go that deep unless you are named after a President.”
And after all that they put him back from whence they got him
As a pilot, I have found the worst, most lax ATC to be in New Zealand, where the attitude of the controllers is positively amateurish and careless.
Very interesting! Where are you from?
Try 1977
Gpws should be required! Sad rip
It seems like those in charge are training pilots so many new things:
1-Obedience outweighs common sense
2-Checking the boxes is more important than checking one's self and aircraft
3-We can do whatever we want to you, at any time with no warning.
4- Our back is turned until we make news
5- Pay and support for pilots isn't even a buzzword anymore.
I got to stop watching these crash videos... makes you not want to fly
Well who the hell wants to see something that depressing !!!
….”unless you’re named after a president”….
RIP
