Florida Man Flies Jet With Excavator Like a Toy Plane

- This old plane was going to get destroyed, so an airport worker thought of taking it for one last ride. They used an excavator to lift it and spun it funnily. They got to give their last tribute to the plane while it had its one final fun trip.

Why would they scrap it? It's holding up better than most Boeings these days 🤣
Careful. Men have died for less.
shh boeing is watching
Nice knowing you, hey what's that red light on your shirt?
@MyBlogsTV Fortunately I don't work for them 😂
Every part on an airplane has a certain number of hours and cycles it can endure before it must be scrapped. (There are some parts like seats and trays that don’t have such strict limits but any part that’s important has to be tracked. Or at least inspected and rebuilt at some point)
The airframe probably reached its hour or cycle limit so it had to be taken out of service.
Every part on an aircraft is tracked from manufacturer to disposal. It’s actually pretty interesting to see how much data an airplane accumulates over its life.
Never have I been so jealous of another man's job.
Shut up, go away
ME TOO LMAO
Yeah 😔
WHOOSH!!
And this is working class we're talking here.
This man's 5 year-old self would be so insanely proud
A decent adult is just their child-self pretending to be one.
So would Boeing flight inspectors.
That man's 5-year-old self was driving the crane.
"Stop being silly Derek. Put Darren's toy plane down. Here- let's scoop the soil up for Aunty Beryl's begonias! "🧑🦳 😢
Child is the father of the man
I cant help but shed a happy tear whenever seeing things like this. Us dudes are really still kids at heart
I mean, how much of a difference is there between a boy and a man in the end? A man needs to be responsible, that's pretty much it. We get jobs instead of going to school, pay bills instead of doing homework, and... Use an excavator to play with a real passenger jet, instead of using an arm to play with a toy plane.
@@abrahamthebewildered1448 I STILL use my arms to play with my airplane if you know what mean…….
I have a model of a space shuttle in my man cave and sometimes I play with it.
I also have a massive screen that use to assist in beat down sessions. Its retention season now though gentlemen.
Playing = Learning. When you become a man there’s about the same amount of bleeding, there’s just far less crying and stopping of the playing for said bleeding.
I'm 66 and I am convinced that I never really grew up, I just got better at "acting" responsible to others.
“Adults are just kids with responsibilities”
I hope he was sitting in the excavator going, “vrooooom!!!” “Whoooosh!!!!” Because that’s precisely what I would be doing.
You and I both know that’s exactly what he was doing.
@@Oxibase Immediate man card revocation iffen he *wasn't.*
SAME
... And not in the airplane
I was there 21 years ago. He was.
The difference between men and boys is the size of their toys.
Edit: For those who are curious, I’m quoting Raphael from the 2003 TMNT series. (I have been told that it goes way before the series, but it was the first time I ever heard it).

Or how light that aircraft really is..

This is kind of sweet. Taking that old plane for one last flight.
Wouldn't call it a flight but yes.
And then murdering it immediately after
Isn't it? I was thinking the same thing, very sweet!

Nah, it's baby excavator playing with his plane friend who didn't learn to fly yet.
I would like to have a beer with this man. I feel like his inner child has quite a bit of stories to tell.

Kinda reminds me of the time I threw out an old broken steering wheel controller. When they picked up the garbage, the guy on the back of the truck started playing with it and pretending to drive as the truck drove away. One of the best things I've ever seen.

Gives a whole new meaning of playing with big toys.

I bet he's making plane noise while doing this. 😂😂
Your username 🤣🤣🤣
he better be, or else hes not truly living
I would have had to stop my vehicle and salute that excavator operator as he honored that Airplane with one final flight before scrapping it. ✌🏼
Prob that's what he was doing actually
Best "hold my beer" idea in decades!
6 out
There is nothing more Florida than this.
His goals are beyond our understanding.
You saw the meme too huh
lean not on your own understanding
No. I understand
Okay zoom
Oh no, his goals are very easy to understand, and is one many would live to achieve

@jayjay53313 yes. I miss the 80's
I love that song
This dude made me cry Bcz he still has a heart of a child in him
We're all kids at heart. A construction worker who once had a dream to fly like an eagle, so beautiful.
everyone watching: ah how cute
passengers on the plane: OH MY GOD!!!!
He was most definitely making airplane noises in the cab of that excavator
Gotta love how 'planes missing parts' probably trended and brought this gem back to the front page.
Good thing he's spinning clockwise. If he spun counterclockwise, he might unscrew the excavator and tip over.
LMAO
If this was in Australia it would be going the other way.
"Alright buddy its time to go"
"Sure! May I ask for something?"
"What it is?"
"I wish to felt the gush of wind on my wings for the last time"
"Sure! ...here we go buddy!"
"...weeeee!!!"
Wholesome Voiceover
What the cameraman doesn't say is there is absolutely at least like 20 of the boys on the plane treating it like a coaster, I bet that happened at least one time.
Then comes OSHA...party poopers...
This is actually cute. No matter how many of we get, don’t lose your innocence!
the thing that blows me away about airplanes is how light they are. first time it goes in the air and you watch the wings blowin around and realize your just out here on a thin piece of aluminum manipulating the wind
this tickles me in a good way.
A man like this LOVES his job.
I hope he is making the "Neeeeeow" sound 🤣🤣🤣
_FlightAttd:_ "Quick! Our pilots passed out! Has anybody here ever flown a plane before?"
_Excavator Dude:_ "🙋♂️I have."
...and so began the legend of _TroubleAir._
I know this is 3 years old at this point, but I keep coming back to it, it's just so cute XD
He probably was like: “Plane go brrrrrrrrr”
You can almost hear Florida Man from inside his excavator cab making brrr sounds whilst he's wheeling it around 😂😂😂
Funny 😐😐
big plane go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
eeeerrrrmmmm ! pwwoooossshh,
zzzoooooom !
Its like the operator is giving the plane its last flight before going to scrap heaven. Bless.
This man needs a raise as soon as humanely possible
Ok, but if they DIDN'T take this opportunity, that's a lifetime's worth of regret right there. So proud of this person!

Very disappointed it didn't twist and spin the other way :(
took the plane for one last flight, respect
When children grow up, their toys also grow with them
"Mom, when I grow up, I want to be a pilot!"
"Don't be silly, child; you can't do both!"

Probably the cutest thing I've seen
What a round trip all expenses paid looks like.
Staying young in heart is the secret to staying young. Time will always march on, but you never have to let it take your joy in life.
I'm impressed with the control of the grapple not crushing it and the plane withstanding the grip on that small area. Kudos Dude. ❤😂
The 4 year old in him must've been so happy
This jet would have been flying Music Artists and Businessmen around in it's heyday in the 80's
Yes, I am sad that they are demolishing it, what idiots, you can preserve it, make it a statue, make art from it, turn it into a bar, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEMOLISH SOMETHING SO OUTSTANDING AND BEAUTIFUL, FUCK OFF

I've watched this video so many times over the years. Never gets old
“ you know what?? You’re right! Im too old for this little toy plane. Imma play with life size toy plane!!”
Despite how heavy that thing has to be for the excavator to lift with ease, *you’d still find me nervous that I’d be too heavy*
Planes fly you know. They have to lift themselves up. They are designed to be as lightweight as possible. On top of that this is probably just the chasis of the plane which is not that heavy. Most of the weight of a plane probably comes from the engines.
@@sk8erbyern fax
Learjets are small and light compare it to those trucks
It would be the proportional equivalent to you lifting an empty beer can.
Planes like these are actually pretty light.
With the engines removed and clearly some other stuff as well, you can in fact even lift it off the ground even for a few feet if you wanted to.
I know I had when I used to be an intern mechanic in the private aviation side of the airport I used to work in when I first started out as an aircraft mechanic
We never really grow up, as a kid I used to play with little toy cars, know I play with real ones
This is the kind of modern art that I like.
You only got 15 rotations lift till it unscrews itself
