30 yrs sounds like a great time to learn new things at brilliant... oh wait wrong sponsor
I shall fulfill my duty as a citizen of Halfasinteresting-stania
Where do i find the Link for your Airline Crowdfunding site and how much must i pay to name a plane?
can we get the Gofundme link for Half as airworthy?
You could make a video on paint drying, and I’d watch it
That's one way to maintain a 100% no crash record
My videos are better than my comments just saying ;)
@@AspectEquity sneaky.... But stupid.
Ooooof
0÷0 ≠ 100%. Yes, I am fun at parties
@@idealst They still never crashed tho
If Airline doesnt fly doesnt it becomes a landline
Does that mean that passenger cars are landlines? Am I operating a landline and not even knowing it???! How do I hang up?!?!
Victor Parker Slam it into wherever it stays when you don’t use it.
Well then, it certainly isn't cellular in nature.
No it doesn't. a airline deals with planes and a landline deals with phones. Two separate things you're speaking about.

What is their logo? A chicken? They don't fly either.
wait a minute...

“As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!"
Google this quote. Most people above a "certain" age probably would have gotten the reference. Your parents are most likely too young as well, but it is still ridiculously funny, IMO.
@@GeorgeVCohea-dw7ou Domesticated turkeys don't fly AFAIK, but wild turkeys most assuredly can for short distances. A flock sounds sort of like a freight train crashing through the woods in my experience. Not something you can easily miss if you're nearby.
@@timothybarney7257
I believe every word of that, but the basis of my posts was a famous scene in a holiday episode of a sitcom.
Here is that particular bit...
czcams.com/video/lf3mgmEdfwg/video.html
We called it the golden cock. I worked at a company that was paid to fix it but they never paid their bill so it just kinda . . . sits there. We werent allowed to touch it.
I'm pretty sure Half as Airworthy is already trademarked by Spirit
I laughed to hard at that
😂😂
Still...they never had a plane crash since they started operations in 1980, so...
I am Sooooo glad my father is an EX Spirit pilot. They were better when he was with them 16 years ago, they hadn't become Ryan Air America yet.
and the max
Why is HAI talking about planes?
That's Wendover Production's territory!
Well, on Wendover he talks about planes that, you know, fly.
a plane that doesn't fly is only half as interesting as a plane that does
I thought they were the same person. :)
They're the same guy.
DeadTroperSociety because aviation is the best topic.
The irony is that, that route structure from Baltimore actually would have worked. There are three really small airlines doing similar right now for the past five years and all seem to be doing well.
You should really consider making another channel about airplanes with longer video duration. "Wendover" would be a good name for the new channel.
You're absolutely right: You’re absolutely right
It already exists
@@addust hear that? I think it's the sound of the joke going over your head.
@@novemberdelta1282 If you think I'm american think again cuz you're wrong. British jokes only here please.
@@addust not everyone in the world is british you twat, there are other people around.
3:36 on behalf of all my fellow Long Islanders, I would like to inform you that Islip is pronounced eye-slip.
Oh that drove me crazy!!
Was just about to comment this same thing...
Thank you!
I don't even remember what the video about all I remember is "iss-lip"
Yes omg I wasn’t the only one
Half as airworthy, damn it that got me. Hahah
More like "HAA"
,,Cold War had turned into a chilled dispute’‘ was just as golden
The only question I have is Half as Airworthy as what?
I'd fly with them!
Be honest, nobody laughed
Half as Airworthy! Yes! So much yes!
Came here looking for this
Ian Colquhoun with a fleet of 737 MAXs
I almost died 🤣
@@khiarov Well, if he does get a fleet of 737MAX, you should try it out. You know, to increase your chances of being dead :)
"Increase your chances of being dead :)"
"America's Newest Airline"
They're keeping that slogan.
By the way, Islip is pronounced "I-slip" not "Is-lip."
As a fellow long islander that hearts my heart to hear Islip be pronounced so horribly wrong
Arhum Mudassir ikr
It sounded so wrong
I-slip on staircase in Is-lip
Smithtown best town
I say it like ice-lip
It still hasn't moved out of its mom's basement.
Failure to launch
@Ungregistered User
B-but Virgin already has an airline
Dagan Ward LOL
It was grounded
Half as interesting? More like Half of the videos are about airplanes. Amirite?
Half of the videos are about airplanes, but they are all *fully* awesome.
That’s not a bad thing tho
So many airplane videos, you could almost think it's Wendover Productions.
That's a good thing
@@vladutcornel it is. same voice different title
I actually sent my Resume to this company several years ago to be an Aircraft Dispatcher in their Flight Operation Center which was going to be located in Ypsilanti, Mi (Willow Run Airport KYIP) (of course there was no response) The 747's they leased was painted and stored up at Kalitta Air's main maintenance base in Oscoda, MI (KOSC). They have since been broken up and sold for scrap metal.
Half As Interesting is gonna expand! Now also
Half As Nutritious protein bars
Half As Mobile logistics services
Half As succesfull investment fund
Half As Fast/Half As Warm food delivery.
Because half as good is still okay.
Don't think you will get any licenses if your food is half as warm as McDonald's
population control: Half as Populated
Half as laggy broadband
Half as hot air conditioning
Half as mouldy preservatives
0:29 OUR flag, comrades. Also, Air Koryo is the best airline. I have no idea why it’s rated one star. That is Western fake news
Loll...l agree!
NOT YOURS......NORTH KOREA CAN NEVER BE USSR
It's one star to represent your countries flag. A true sign of communism. More stars mean capitalism, that's why the us has 50 of them.
Another amazing comment by our glorious supreme leader demolishing the backwards capitalist pigs
Grr
Are Half as Airworthy flying to Halfasintrestingstania?
Yes?
And also to The Dominion of Wendover?
Yes?
Book me on
That place is not real
@Melkon I know
now who gets the woooosh?
@@_extra9126 the air
interesting...
I don't know if this is still true or not. I remember years ago hearing about a shipping company that transferred packages from one airport to another for air shipping. But because of rules at the time they had to register as a airline like UPS and FedEx to be able to carry the cargo. Even though they never had any airplanes themselves.
Next: The 30-year old Ship that never sailed.
Or 300 year old ship. Why not?
Or a 100 year old coffin with barnacles and a engraved name?
Half as interesting is now becoming a funny version of Wendover Production
Well............
Who's wendover . Hai is way better .
@@killianholm2283 the same person
@@furqaanilahi8078 stop spreading conspiracies smh
@@F-ZSuperTerminator what conspracies dude. How are emojis haraam?
"Half As Airworthy" is an airline I would fly on. As long as they meet FAA minimums, it would still be pretty safe, and the tongue in cheek factor is epic. 🤣
HAI: *advertises Dashlane's VPN
NordVPN: *am i a joke to you?*
1:45 I cried when this happened. Bad times, comrades
Should have been called "landline-that-actually-doesnt-go-anywhere"
jokes been stolen imma have to kick u the fck outta here.
Yet another amazing video.Informative as well as entertaining. As a content creator, I highly admire your videos. Keep up the great work!
Great content bro
As someone who lives on Long Island, I've never heard anyone pronounce Islip as "Is Lip" before...but I guess that is what it looks like though... (the correct pronunciation sounds like "I Slip")
It's because planes aren't meant to fly, but rather sail underwater like the Malaysia 370 flight.
Malaysia airlines is my favorite submarine company.
@@reborn_silence4054 My love for them reached new depths.
@@ThisisBarris lol
Legend is, MH 370 is world's first Submarine Aircraft
@@reborn_silence4054 I'm Malaysian. 239 people died on MH370. Their families have never learned what happened. That's not funny.
That transition to the sponsor was so smooth.
2:26 "I mean, honestly, can you think of a better person to run an airline?"
Man has a point.
This video is so entertaining, one of your most amusing. Love it.
I also like your choice of map projection!
Their logo is a chicken, a bird that doesn’t fly...Genius!
Wow, reading the document at 2:52 is heartbreaking. The botched IPO wasn't Baltia's fault, their attempts to fix things through the courts went nowhere, and two years later the SEC says, "you actually are a public company"
Most years include the summary "Baltia searches for capital with no success."
Full props to Half as airworthy
Next you should make a video about me, the 30 year-old that’s never flown
Mixed up this channel with Wendover Productions?
Seriously though, great video.
It and Wendover are the same person, this is the secondary channel
SomeOriginalChannelName Yeah, I know. That’s why I said that.
@@SomeOriginalChannelName he is referring to it being an airplane video, which wendover is filled with
I understand Chris Grayling is in talks with Baltia to provide air services in the event of No Deal Brexit.
Happy that you post such sophisticated videos regularly, Hope you would get what you deserve one day, keep up the good work!
Keep These Aviation Videos Up Please, They Are Brilliant!!!
Half as airworthy
The flights would be like: "not to worry, we're still flying half a -ship- plane"
Islip is pronounced like Eyeslip, but nice try.
I thought it was eye-lip
I'm glad you returned to these plane videos
Half as Airworthy .. Priceless !!!
"Half as airworthy" killed me...
I live like 15 minutes from Islip and feel like I should clarify that it's a long I. Think "I slip" as opposed to "Is lip".
Spencer DeStefano I know right that pissed me off I also live near islip
I knew about Islip for about 15 minutes and feel like no one cares about the pronunciation at this point
There are so many comments about this. He did a good job pissing us off.
As a person that lived in the Hudson valley... Stewart to Europe would be awesome!!
Hearing wendover talk normally is so great. Sounds like he's just chillin not really reading the script haha
Had to check and make sure this wasn’t uploaded on April 1 because it was so unreal. 😂
Does that mean that the airline would’ve been flown if it was 31 years old?
Your videos are getting better and better!
Love your aviation videos. I saw one of their aircraft in Oscoda, Michigan before it was scrapped in the Fall of 2019. I call the logo "The Angry Chicken"
3:37 it’s pronounced “ICE-lip” not “IS-lip”
Thank you!
It's I-slip not ICE-lip
@@tonk9246 That's the same when read without a glottal stop.
Best paraphrasing I've read so far was "eye-slip" ...
because there're many people around here, including myself, who don't read "i" as "eye" ... but as, well, the actual vowel "i".
Also "I" can easily be confused with "l" :)
waddup you long island schmucka
Having been born in Trenton an currently living in the same county, I'm hurt that the only time an airline other than frontier wanted to fly to Trenton only did it because of the T in their name.
Nice segue into an ad. Made me chuckle and stay to listen to it
Thanks wendover! Great airplane video👍
Sometimes, I remember that it is Thursday when I see the upload notification.
Why did I relate so much?
"Metal cylinder organism transport business"- me writing an essay and I have to fulfill the requirements
If you've ever been to the Trenton airport you know how crazy it is to want to fly into Trenton.
Half as Airworthy, that’s pure gold LOL!!! I’m looking at you Air Koryo
how many Toyota Corolas were made during that time?
😂Half as Airworthy Airlines😂
Fascinating. Thank you.
« I’ll call it Half As Airworthy »
Genius
Its pronounced Eye-Slip on Is'Lip. Next, I'll teach you how to say Coffee correctly. lol
A rooster as a company logo? I wouldn’t feel very confidant flying on one of their planes!
Also, just FYI - the plural of boys is boys. Not boyses.
Half as Airworthy - what an airline name to instill confidence in its flyers.
I lost it when he said : Metal cylinder organism transport business ... Lmao
"Half as Airworthy" So you'll be flying MAX 8's?
I cant imagine how much money was lost by the people who invested in this company.
I honestly bet its a huge scam.
We need a collab with Wendover, Cold Fusion and Real Life Lore.
Baltia: We Need Moneyyyyyy!
Also Baltia: Hasn’t had a flight and keeps airline for over 30 years
Hol’ Up
As petty as it might be, it’s pronounced eye-slip not Iz-lip
Great video still
What is that red background on the logo...?
*USSR anthem starts playing*
Wendover and planes, name a more iconic duo.
half as airworthiness... that was awesome!
Someone has a love affair with planes ... not that there's anything wrong with that.
Islip, New York is pronounced “ice-lip” not “lizlip” lmao so many people do that
This channel has just the right amount of snark. You're writing is fantastic!
You get the plane, I'll fly it! haha great video as always!
1:57 The second A in Aviation is slightly out of line, it bugs me.
It really irritates me that the paint is running.
Looks the same to me
do you have OCD?
@@dinahhaile2503 same here
@@dinahhaile2503 It is slightly lower than the others. It looks like the A fell off at some point and was replaced. However, the paint running is what really looks terrible.
Half-
The videos are about planes
You don’t realize how many long islanders there are until is-lip is said repeatedly
Half as Airworthy earned a chuckle! 😆
It’s pronounced “Eye- Slip”
Or: I slip
3:36 It’s ICE-lip not is-lip. I’m a Long Islander so I know how it should be pronounced. Yeah I know Long Island town names are hard to pronounce. Don’t get me started on the town that airport is located in...RONKONKOMA
Wow! I never knew you are from Long Islands. You must be visiting from Egg West or East Eggs or something.
Whatever the world says, I really don’t mind if there’s another aeroplane themed video; I love it and look forward to it
0:31- probably one of the earliest records of a genuine Slav Squat
i knew this company was going nowhere when they said they chose their routes based off of their name lmaooo
Notif Squadron.

I saw one of their 747s at Oscoda Wurtsmith (KOSC) on the scrap line a few months back. Interesting airport
I dont know why but i love the way he says "but theyre still going at it!" at 4:09. Just the way he says it makes me laugh.
Islip is pronounced "ice-lip"
Tell me your from Long Island without telling me you’re from Long Island… hello form Buffalo sort of curious if he can say Cheektowaga right
@@NotAJosh I test people by making them read "Patchogue" aloud.
@@meterfeeder Scajaquada Expressway is another good one
When he said is-lip I cringed so hard it’s pronounced ice-lip
Love your videos! Just a heads up, ‘Islip’ is pronounced ‘eye-slip,’ not ‘is-lip.’ I live ~10 minutes away from ISP, and thought it was really cool for it to be mentioned in one of your videos.
Half As Airworthy...that seems to be a popular motif in aviation nowadays...
Hi
This comment was made possible by Dashlane
I always go through the sponsored ad at 2x speed.

Metal cylinder organism transport business. I love it
I would fly Half as Airworthy. Thanks for uploading on my birthday.
