This is the story of speedbird 9 or british airways flight 9. On the 24th of june 1982, it was a pitch black night and a british airways 747 streaked above the indonesian islands, it was on its way from kuala lumpur to perth australia, perth was just a stop over its ultimate destination was auckland in new zealand, this leg of the flight was captained by Eric moody, his team consisted of first officer Roger greaves and flight engineer barry townley freeman. The 747 had 248 passengers and 15 crew members on board. All looked good, the weather was calm, all systems were in the green and everyone looked forward to landing in Perth some 5 hours later.
As they cruised at 37000 feet, tiny pin pricks of light popping up on the windscreen this was accompanied by acrid smoke coming in from the vents, Captain Moody was brought back to the flight deck. In front of them was the most intense display of St Elmo's fire that any of them had ever seen. St elmo's fire is a natural phenomenon where a little bit of plasma forms due to the ionization of air molecules. Roger the first officer looked over and saw that the number 4 engine was lit from within. At 8:42 PM Jakarta time or 1:42 pm UTC Flight engineer barry freeman called out “engine failure number 4” engine number 4 had flamed out, captain moody called for the engine fire drill and the other two pilots carried it out. About a minute later engine number two surged and failed. The flight engineer said “Engine failure number 2” which was quikcly followed up by “threes gone” which was followed up by “theyve all gone”.
It took a second for the situation to sink in, the flight engineer said “four engines do not fail”, A quadruple engine failure was almost unheard of. They were out of thrust but the instruments still worked. But the instruments painted a dire picture, some of the instruments were inoperative and some were literally off the charts. An amber light told them that the engines had exceeded their maximum turbine gas temperatures.
Eric said to his first officer “Ok Roger put out a mayday”, at 8:44 Pm the first officer roger transmitted “jakarta, Jakarta mayday mayday speedbird 9 we've lost all 4 engines were leaving 370” But even a simple mayday call proved to be harder than usual, Jakarta control misunderstood the mayday call, they were under the impression that engine number 4 had failed, A nearby garuda indonesia plane relayed the message to Jakarta Control and only then did they understand the severity of the situation.
With no thrust they were falling and they needed to land somewhere, but in their path lay the mountains on the island of Java, they needed to be have at least 11500 feet in altitude to cross the mountain range safely, so the crew decided that, if they were not able to maintain 12000 feet by the time they got to the mountain range they'd turn around and ditch the plane in the indian ocean. With a plan in place they began their engine restart attempts, were they in the ideal situation for an engine restart? No but the engines had to start they just had to.
At 26000 feet the cabin pressure warning horn sounded and the crew donned their oxygen masks. But not first officer roger, his mask fell apart in his hand, captain moody now had a tough decision to make. He could either let the plane descend very slowly and risk exposing his first officer to a lack of oxygen or he could descend and take the plane down to a more breathable altitude but that would eat into the precious little altitude that they had. They kept trying to restart - Věda a technologie
Have to say Captain Moody is a legend not just saving this crippled plane but as a person. I remember mailing him in my late teens to ask about this flight after seeing a doc on it and the good man actually took time to write back to a curious teen.
Wow! Good for you! I hope you've still got the letter!
Such a lovely man

I remember watching the documentary on this and he flew back to the island of the volcano and threw a rock into it while saying "here's for having a go at me."
@@NightMotorcyclist Legend
"I'm just pleased it worked out well because I wanted to live"
I think that's the most British thing I've ever heard
lol well said
Well, it would have been more English for him to remark that he was was hoping not to miss the [cricket] match against Hinton-in-the-Hedges at the weekend - but that has more syllables and he had an aircraft to land :)
British humour. Saying the bloody obvious that no one else will say out loud!
It's old school English. Love it
Yep, definitely. Moody wasn't there to be a hero. He just wanted to get home alive and get a pay cheque. What made him a hero was not losing sight of either of those things when his plane was shutting down around him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a little problem, all engines have failed.". A great bit of British understatement and a great crew.
Keep Calm and follow your flight crew
@@gorillaau 🤣
"I trust you are not in too much distress" Brilliant.
@@poppedweasel Yeah! That was a real topping on the cake! :D
One of the most legendary announcements of all time...
Captain Moody, the man, the legend. He stayed calm in a crisis, saved his bird and his passengers from what would have surely been a catastrophic ditching, and then he was kind enough to talk to some random youtuber about the whole thing! And even then he still remains modest about the whole thing!
The man is a legend and ever so humble
@Great White It did get an episode of Air Crash Investigation/Mayday. It's one of my favourites.
If he was any more English he'd shit crumpets. He embodies everything that's great about being English.
Waving the Union Flag out of the hatch after a successful landing - absolute legend.
@Great White Don't worry chaps, we'll be home in time for tiffin, what?
Legendary indeed. That announcement has gone down in aviation lore as one of the most British announcements ever.
And he did a localizer approach with sanded over windows. Legend.
These pilots were some of the best to ever fly. I don’t know about gliding a plane but a 747 has to be a real challenge as big and heavy as they are. Good job Mr. Eric Moody. I would let this fella fly me anywhere.
Actually, I've heard that 747s glide very well. The fact that they're big doesn't change the aerodynamics. But there's no question that Capt. Moody is a great pilot and a great human being! 😊
Captain Moody, I'd just like to say as a staff member of the Melbourne Sheraton/Langham you and the rest rest of the BA crew were sore sorely missed when you left . God bless you all!
You should drop him an email, I'm sure that would be a nice thing for him to hear. If you Google his name, his website comes up with an email address on it :)
Give the chap a free room for his next stay!
@@alisonkempster4229 this was in 1982. I think he's retired by now
Quack

I love how he just unreservedly gave credit to everyone. As many incidents as we see that are caused by a poor crew, this case it was an excellent crew that saved the plane.
"I've not got much longer to live I don't think"
There's something simultaneously so badass and so sad about elderly people who say things like that. I've always appreciated their ability to look mortality in the eyes and say, "Bring it."
Those who can look death in the eye and not flinch are truly badass.
We were all dead before we were conceived. There’s nothing to fear.
A quick brush with death & survival brings a calm state of mind. I got backed over by a low-boy trailer 5 years ago. Broke every rib in my left chest but miraculously, didn't puncture my lung until I got to the trauma unit. Pretty close that one! Was 57 at the time, I'm now a bionic granny 😃
@@katiekane5247
You've got thirty years on me, but I hope I can be as badass as you when I'm your age!
If you don't mind me asking, how did you get run over by a trailer?
@@_JayRamsey_ I was stopping traffic, I turned back around & the edge caught my lower leg. My momentum made me fall into the path of the trailer backing onto our private road from the highway. It was dusk but thankfully, my friend driving didn't hit the gas when he felt resistance. He stopped & pulled forward. He thought he'd killed me & then when I wouldn't let him help me up off the road, he thought I was pissed off. I was just surprised I was still breathing cuz I heard all my ribs break. Pretty gnarly open compound fractures on my left hand too. A dumb nurse's aid punctured my lung pulling me up in the bed by my arm. It was quite the experience! Still friends with the driver, he had gotten his 10 year safe driver award from Allstate 2 days earlier 😆
They dropped him when he voluntarily gave a deposition to my lawyer!
Great video and interview with Captain Moody. Thanks to him and the flight crew that I am still here today. My family and I were actually on that flight, but I was only 5 at the time so don’t remember it too well!
Wow! Thanks for commenting. Have you or your family been able to get back on a plane? Not sure i could.. I get really freaked out over a tiny amount of turbulence. You were very lucky to have had this angel flying you that day!
Eric really showcased the leadership skills expected of a captain. Being the leader while using the combined knowledge of his FO and FE. I dont blame him for preferring having an FE since having Flight Engineer was definitely vital in this case.
Wow!! That is amazing...so glad it turned out so well!!
How awesome of capt. Moody to make himself available to talk to you! I’m sure he’s told the story quite often, but he still talks about it like it’s his first or second interview 🙂
I had the honor of working in an Australian hotel with the BA crew, and I have not a bad word to say about them. We loved looking after this crew.
Agreed. He's a good sport, willing to talk about the incident yet again, after he's probably already answered the same old questions about 10,000 times over the years.
My father worked for BOAC/BA for 25 years and whenever we were at JFK or Heathrow or Glasgow Airports, he knew everyone and he knew Captain Moody. I remember my father introducing me to him in 1985 or 86. I was young but remember it very clearly, he was such a nice man!
Captain Moody is a true gentleman and part of an amazing crew. A great video and a great story. I bet the beer tasted so good after their landing.
I remember when this happened, the pictures of the aircraft after it landed were staggering. The flight crew did an amazing job, never gave up.
Ah, that British understatement: “We have a small problem: all four engines have stopped. […] I trust you are not in too much distress.”
There's a reason for that: Staying calm and emitting an aura of confidence is essential in preventing people from panicking. Guess what would have happened if they had said: "All four engines have failed, and we don't know what's going on"?
I heard Captain Moody talk about this on a video we had for recurrent training in the 1980s at Delta Air Lines. I was very impressed! He was doing CRM before they thought of it.
Your interview with Capitain Moody was marvelous.
@KombatBard the late Captain Al Haynes. He sadly passed last year
While I loved listening to Captain Moody, I found the narrator's constant "uh hum" very annoying. Sorry to say.
WAS NOT!
The narrator seems to be trying to break the record for using the word “ LIKE “
This generation have become incredibly difficult to listen to as this is a verbal stutter even worse than UM or ER
If you don’t believe me have another listen , Captain Moody didn’t resort to using the word LIKE once !
I have a twenty three year old niece who is engaged to a primary school teacher and they both suffer from this affliction ! I think it’s an attention span problem caused by the incessant use of mobile devices !
it was great, but why was there a frog ribbiting dubbed over the captains story?
Thank you Captain Eric Moody, you're a great bloke as well as a great pilot. I hope that if anyone who watches this happens to meet him, they'll buy him that beer you mention from all of us.
As captain Moody said at the time. . "Landing a Jakarta Airport at the best of times is about as difficult as trying to poke melted butter up a porcupine's arse using a hot knitting needle"
Doing it with four totally shot engines and a sandblasted windshield was a miracle!
Beautiful British turn of phrase. . .
I hope someday Captain Moody reads these comments. I am so grateful he took the time to do this with you. The entire crew of Speedbird 9 are part of aviation history. How often do you get to celebrate your heros? Take care Captain Moody, and know that you have people wishing you well all over the globe.
Hear hear!

Captain Moody is a hero!, at least after this interview he's my hero!
How nice that he took the time to recount his story again after so many years, loved it!
You were able to interview the captain? That's awesome and brings your channel up to a whole new level.
What a gracious and humble man! A model for all to follow.
I smiled so hard during your interview with the captain, my face hurt. Bravo. Excellent episode.
"Its not like.... it was a record I was trying to break"
What a true gentleman and no doubt in my mind a true hero. What a great story. Thank You.
“I’m just glad it worked out well, because I wanted to live.” Love it.
The interview at the end of this account is something special.
That was lovely! Thanks so much for reaching out to Capt Moody, and thanks to Capt Moody for generously sharing his time!
This fella has a few years on him for sure, but his intelligence and experience shines through so strongly and puts much younger people to shame. Amazing chap.
When I saw a MACI video that was 22 minutes long, I was excited. Turns out it was even better than I thought. Thank you so much for doing such good work with these videos, and thanks to Cpt. Moody for participating! Great channel
That was an amazing interview. I remember the news reports when it happened and every one marveled at his cool response and the fact that he landed the plane. The heaviest glider in the world I tjink it was called. Thanks for that. A real Gem.
Awesome to have that insight from the captain
Wish I could click the like button a few more times for Captain Moody!
That was awesome , the extra footage with the interview with pilot of that flight was amazing, thank you that was on the edge of my seat entertainment
Splendid that you were able to speak to Captain Moody and share the conversation with your viewers.
The interview with the pilot is priceless. Great job, and thanks for going the extra mile.
This video really brought back memories. I was the British Airways manager based in Kuala Lumpur at the time. I received a phone call from our duty officer at KL airport telling me we had nearly lost an aircraft that night. It was enroute from KL to Perth. A relief arcraft was sent out to Jakarta a day later to take the passengers on to Perth. On landing there a TV team from Channel 9 in Perth interviewed the passengers and crew. There were some very emotional scenes and one of the passengers said ‘I will never say a thing about the Poms again!’.
Thank you for sharing this experience!
I wish I'd been a £10 pom now! It's pretty grim here with our bloody stupid monstrosity of a government!
If I could escape from this island I would!
@@Aengus42 Wait just a gosh darn minute! We (Yanks) just survived FOUR years of the monstrous tRump administration! How much worse could your people be?
Woah. See, this is why the comments on these videos are just as interesting as the content itself. Brings people with the raddest kinds of stories together in one place.
@Raymond Gallery What you mean is He will be back in Court! Lots and lots of lawsuits in his future...
I _love_ this guy! So friendly and down-to-earth! (No pun intended)
Brilliant video as ever made even more special by the interview with Captain Moody, what a charming, unassuming man.
I want to give the greatest respect to you Captain Eric. I'm not a pilot but your dedication to your duty and professionalism is an inspiration and education to all future pilots. thank you so much.
"I'm just pleased it worked out well, 'cause I wanted to live" is my favourite line of the interview
What an amazing interview! So nice of the Captain to take the time to talk to you about the incident. And what an incident it was, i remember it being on the news back in the day. Like many I have read the reports about it. How it started with the light show, to then seeing your engines glowing - must have been a very strange thing to see, followed quickly by the realisation that all four engines had failed. Even now it's hard to imagine the thoughts and the emotions the crew must have been having. And then finally the relief of the engines coming back on line, only to then realise you could not see anything out of the windows! It really was a remarkable event, with a fantastic outcome. Was a pleasure to watch this video, and to see the Captain talking about it. And it's wonderful that this video will bring the event to the attention of many younger people they may not have even heard about it before. It is a flight well worth reading about in detail. Thank you for this great video.
At first I was like 22 minutes!! And almost moved on to another video. Then when I started watching and realized it was the story of this flight that I know already, I almost moved on to another video.
But out of sheer curiosity I kept watching and what a pleasant surprise!!
Capt. Moody is so modest!! He brought his crew and passengers through an impossible scenario and he's like "I thought the fuss would be over by Christmas of 82"
No sir!! We still love the story!! You and your crew are legends my good man!!
Cheers!! All the way from the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago!!
Lovely man, great interview!
True British Gentleman....
What a grand gentleman, in the style of the old-school English gentleman. Self-effacing, eager to give others credit when it is due, skillful and clever, witty, and gifted with that glorious understatement. You're a legend, sir. A legend in many countries. I grew up in the UK and now live in NZ, and you're famous in both countries. Fly on, Captain. Fly high.
Fun Fact; Captain Moodys’ uncle was actor Ron Moody, the man who played Fagan in the 1968 version of the film Oliver. I guess Captain Moody was “reviewing the situation” ✊.
Wow! Thanks.
What an interesting fact - nephew of a great actor.
You couldn't make that up : )
czcams.com/video/RkRQWNf69fM/video.html
Not being facetious, but you can see the family resemblance, the nose especially..
Yeah! Me and my Mates saved 200+ lives at work yesterday. Care for a cuppa tea?
Mentioning his son’s experience about fuel economy summed it all up as his final thoughts, that’s the airlines bottom line in aviation. Awesome interview of such a humble and charismatic man, thank you for sharing his experience, and don’t forget to take him for a drink as promised.
The profesionalism, confidence, skill, but most importantly team work (the human factor) is what allowed this crew and all souls aboard to survive this incident. Having traveled many uneventful miles in the sky, I think it's easy to forget the courage and commitment of the crew members both on the flight deck and in the cabin, whose everyday job it is to fly these complex machines of human technical evolution. May we all take a moment to thank them for performing the daily duties of their jobs. Thank you Captain Moody, and all the crew out there who do this everyday. Thank you for your service.
This is a terrific episode. All of your episodes are so good, but getting Captain Moody to come on with you made this one even better. Great job interviewing as well - you asked good questions and just let him speak. That’s a lost art today. Well done
Congrats on that, man. even if we couldn’t hear the excitement in your voice, we all know you had to be stoked to get to interview a legendary captain. And how gracious of him to give an interview. He seems like a very very nice and humble man. If you talk to him again, tell him he’s still got a while yet! My dad was a guy sort of like him in his field, not a life saving pilot but as far as revered by many in his industry I mean. He worked and kept busy until he was almost 90 when he sort of “decided” it was his time so he stopped working mostly and being busy, and he died very shortly thereafter. Not that the mind can over come illnesses per say, but just saying that a man that is in good health mentally and physically such as captain moody should have a good while left if he keeps busy and healthy! Tell him just to keep busy doing stuff he enjoys, watch keep healthy, and he’ll be around for another decade or maybe two! Anyways, thanks for episode and have a great week!
Great interview. It was hard, though, to resist swatting the cursor on Capt Moody's face
Is that what it was
He kept picking his nose and scratching his face to get rid of it
I love this channel and the quality of each investigation, and the surprise at the end was excellent! Thank you so much for all the work you do.
You secured an interview with one of the pilots! What a treat. Thank you. This is something special. You really care about aviation, and it shows. I hope you get many more subscribers.
The addition of your interview with Captain Moody was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! What a horrible and totally freakish series of events but what a fabulous outcome and moreover what an amzing pilot and flight crew!
I used to travel the 747 (B) in the early '80s with Aer LIngus. They had three in service. They had low hours and the the engines were P&W JT-9s. They came to AL in the about 1973. I remember looking up at the sky one lunch hour, and I was amazed by the immensity, and of course the big shamrock on the tail. How she thundered down the runway.I could look out from within and see the grass being coiffured like a hairdryer as the thrust came on. Fantastic!
That was a great interview! Thank you, Aaron and Captain Moody
Friends of our parents were on board now so many years ago. Their destination was Auckland, New Zealand. They said the silence while they were dropping for ages in the darkness with no engines operating was their lasting memory. It took some courage to get back on another flight to carry on home when the time came to leave, but they also didn’t let it stop their travels subsequently. They always said they owed their lives to the skill and determination of the flight crew to restart the engines and save them from what was going to inevitably be a sticky end. So nice to now hear from the man who lead their survival. Quite a man! Thank you.
Absolutely delightful to watch. Very well done. Hats off to Cpt. Moody and the rest of the flight crew of Speedbird 9.
I’ve had the privilege to be invited to sit in the BA cock pit on many occasions on 777s and 747s. Always amazed at the skill and talent of those BA pilots. Post 911 that was no longer allowed but I will always have those amazing memories of take offs and landings in far flung destinations. Great interview with a lovely modest man.
I'm seriously impressed that you sought him out, let alone that he agreed to be interviewed. What a nice chap and a hero to boot.
Thanks for the appearing in the interview Captain Moody. Knowing there are people with this skill level must make us all feel safer when difficult situations occur. Chris, UK.
that was great man! good job on the interview, and what a great catch! He's a very interesting pilot.
Captain Moody does not seem like a guy who would be easily flustered or distracted. I’ve no doubt these are attributes which contributed to he and his crew saving all of these lives. A very humble hero, but a hero non the less. What an absolute legend.
Russell_Duncan without a doubt, cool as a cucumber !! Captain Moody had flown for many years; the passengers were in good hands. Well done captain, and crew !! Fly high captain !!
My second flight on a 747 was on 'City of Edinburgh' (the aircraft involved) from LAX to LHR and I was fascinated to hear from the pilot as we taxied that this was THE 747 involved in the incident some months before. Pushback was on Thursday 12th for an overnight flight, to say the least, two older ladies across the aisle were less enamoured by the tale and one told the other "I told you we shouldn't fly on Friday 13th". I was lucky to get a flght deck visit and the captain told me that he was very was thankful he hadn't been the pilot on the infamous flight 9. Great memory.
Wonderful interview. I hope you can get on a plane and go take him out for a beer sooner than later. You have a real piece of history here, congrats on getting that interview and sharing it with us.
I remembered this when I was 9 years old still living in Java, Indonesia. It fascinated me so much that I’m such a big avgeek growing up.
It was also a memorable time there when the mountain erupted, it was hotter than normal and my parents had to keep sweeping dust around the house. Then there was a news report of a B747 landing at Halim Perdana Kusuma which was the international airport in Jakarta then.
I love the British understatement, shining through when Captain Moody announced to the passengers.
By the way, it’s Mount Gah-loong-ghoong.
Love your videos, great work!!
"Don't be too mesmerized" 😂 most British response ever
Yeah. The humility. :)
What a legend... Old skool, calm and collected British dude.
Great interview. A great display of airmanship, from the entire crew. Something else that is amazing, is that the engines actually restarted, some solid engineering there.
So great that you got the interview with cpt. moody!
I absolutely adore Eric Moody. Such a legend. Kevin Sullivan and the other Sully.... and the captain of the Gimli plane...ALL of these pilot's and their crews..... and even one passenger Diane Crosby (off duty flight attendant on Kevin Sullivans flight) are exemplary human beings... and very humble. I love the survivor stories. But honestly i believe that all pilots and crews who succeed or not getting their planes and passengers on the ground are heroes. You know they all give it their all but sometimes circumstances don't line up exactly right. They all have the knowledge and skill but sometimes they don't have enough time or elevation.
As ever, an excellent account of this incident. As for Captain Moody: what an absolute flying ace! Typical British understatement and heartwarming loyalty to his colleagues. Thank you for the video, the interview, and Captain Moody, for your exemplary service!! Bravo!
This was a marvelous video with an equally wonderful interview!! God bless Captain Moody, his crew, and all of the passengers who walked away from this crisis.
The G-BDXH was overhauled and returned to service soon thereafter. It then was scheduled regularly to the LGW-SJU route in the early 90s, with Captain Moody many times. I was a 747-236/436 and 777 load controller/flight ops for BA and worked Capt. Moody's flights numerous times. A true airman and professional and very thorough.
awesome seeing you manage to secure an interview!
How cool that you got to talk to him! And thank you for sharing it with us!
Wow! Thank you for the great video but especially for the interview and spending the time putting this together. So great to hear from the captain himself!
I met Capt Moody on a flight to Tenerife 5 or 6 years ago. Lovely man.
Well done as usual, without spoilers, the last segment of the video was an amazing and unexpected treat!
Amazing Captain and amazing plane. 747's - the end of an era. I'm old enough to remember the first one I ever saw landing at Heathrow. It seemed incredible it was flying so slow, of course it was about the same speed as all the other planes but it's size made it look like it was just hanging there.
What a modest gentleman! A true legend! Thanks for sharing the interview, a real treat!
What an outstanding episode! You get major props (pardon the pun) for actually tracking down and interviewing Captain Moody. It was thrilling to listen to him describe the event.
Captain Moody isn't just an outstanding aviator, he's a true gentleman. This shows incredible class. Thank God for such men and women as Captain Moody and his crew. On top of it all he is so incredibly humble. There's a reason why this remembered decades later: incredible airmanship of the three person crew! ✈️🇬🇧
Great video...not only your narration but the words of this poised captain. Great job!
Awesome. Thanks for that wonderful interview.
Lovely interview after the video
Its a wonderful tale and one of my absolute favorites to go back and watch. Im so excited you got to talk to the pilot, how awesome! Thank you for doing the mini series ❤
About 15 years back I used to fly a plane out of an Essex field that was owned by a syndicate. We had a new guy join & he was using the plane after my return.
The guy's son was going to be flying the plane so while he was doing the pre-flight on it I was talking to his dad, giving him tips on flying the type, operations at that field & flying in general.
I subsequently found out that man was the *Capt. Moody* featured in this incident! Gulp!
@Fidd88
More than that he stood patiently & listened to me babbaling on!
It was only a few days later & he'd phoned me to let me know the plane had been weather in at Shoreham that I got talking to him. From the conversion I said "You seem to know a bit about aviation, do you work in the industry?" that he said he was a captain for BA & flew 747's that I looked him up!
@Fidd88
That's where I did my qualifying cross country to! Then out to Lydd.
Do you know if the great Mr. Moody was a regular down there?
I imagine his boy is in the industry now as I believe he was using the plane to get the boy his PPL & then upwards.
Did he happen to mention he was a glider pilot
No 'Gulp' about it! You and he were both doing the right thing! True mastery: never stop listening, never, ever, *assume* you know better. Reassess that, every time.
@@rbettsx
Thank you!
I think overall he could have taught me more than I taught him though!
My Dad, before he retired, worked as a mechanic / engineer at BA for about 40 years. He did his apprenticeship with them I believe, but for the first 2 years there were no positions available so he worked as Cabin Crew. He was on a flight with Moody who told him to cut his hair ='D
And one of Dad's oldest friends was crew on that flight.
Great professionalism all around.
back in the day my old man was on a BOAC flight in far east and the pilot asked if anyone wanted to detour a bit and fly over an active volcano for the view. he got some great photo's
Fantastic interview with Captain Moody, what a gentleman! The best surprise I have found on CZcams in years.
This was awesome! Both the flying and the interview.
1:55 The hardest part about flying on instruments is that the panel gets in the way of the trombone.
Great job flight crew! As an aircraft mechanic, I like the captain's "sence" of humor when he says we have a slight problem. Jet engines are like air conditioning, when they stop, you start sweating!
Rest in peace, Eric Moody. 🫡
I made a college presentation about this one. Just how they managed to land with the windscreen like that still impresses me to this day.
I'm here so early! Love you MACI, I already know this video is going to be great
You guys are too kind ❤️❤️
@@MiniAirCrashInvestigation sometimes I wish I could give videos rewards, like in reddit. And this video was one of them, that interview was awesome.
Wrong! It sucks!
@@NoName-zn1sb Ok, thanks for your input.
You should put the interview into the title of the video. It would probably drive even more people to watch it.
Great video! Moody is a living legend.
Edit: Thanks for editing the title! Keep making those amazing videos! You should consider doing an episode on BOAC Flight 712
What a wonderful interview with the Captain, and what an amazingly humble crew...........thanks for posting. Enjoy all your videos.
