"HEY MEN! LISTEN UP!!! LOOK AT MY FREAKIN AIRPLANE THIS IS HOW TO ROCK AND NOT HOW TO SUCK. MEN, IF YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO KICK ASS, I AM GIVING FREE LESSONS."

So is it 748 ho? I have to think so

mmmmmm greasy 8!

I guess when they hired ol' 748HO he just kicked so much ass that they made him a captain so he could talk about kickin ass to all the men!

"KICK ASS MEN!"

A little bit more about Mr. Caneman from his website...

As a young boy Scott had two ideas. One was to make films and the other to be a pilot. He started to make super 8 movies with his father's camera and also read many books on flying.

However after high school at the age of 18 Scott's life changed forever when he sustained a Spinal Cord Injury from a motorcycle accident at a concert. He was told that he would never walk again. Scott defied all odds and began to walk with the aid of crutches and two leg braces. He continued to study and graduated LA Valley College with a Certificate in Film, and then continued to study and graduate from California Institute of the Arts (Walt Disney's School) with a BFA in Film and Video. During college Scott also obtained his Private Pilots License and after college Scott's love for flying out weighed his creative world. He then obtained his Commercial Pilots License and Flight Instructor Rating. Soon Scott was working as a Flight Instructor, then a Commuter Pilot and then made it to the top of his field being a Captain on a DC8 Jet flying worldwide for a large cargo company.

Lots of carriers in the States and worldwide who still fly them (UPS comes to mind). A Captain on one still makes more than a Captain on a 1900 or a Metro, dinosaur or not. You have a job thats better than a Captain on a DC 8? I'm impressed.

Was I the only person that didn't find that funny at all?

The landing at the end was sort of interesting.

I'm sleepy now.

Old or not, that FMS must be an upgrade to the original Douglas package.

I saw that too, and thought it was a little geeky, but I'm not a paid pilot yet.

I could see if the cabin heat wasn't too great, but is there any time someone would wear gloves in the cockpit to increase performance?

He had the skin peeled from his palms in a motorcycle accident, so they're just a little more sensitive than your dainty little paws, ISTP.

Also, take note, he has a better job than you.

ISTP agreed...

The landing at the end was sort of interesting.

"glideslope, glideslope"

"200" adds power only to remove all of it at "100"

Should worry more about flying and less about the camera.

Is that what you would've done in your 172...or ISTP, what's Sault College tell ya to do in the DC-8? Point is, the guy's a trainwreck and you can't touch him. That's BEAUTY!

Go run it on microsoft flight sim and get back to me, nerdlingers.

I thought someone said it was a 6000 ft runway.....not alot for a heavy. A little below slope might not be a bad idea...

Interesting video but lacking in the humor department (mind you, I had not been up flying freight all night when I viewed it).

6000 feet is not tight for a DC8 unless heavily loaded for landing. Takeoff is a little more critical though..

The larger thrust lever movements on approach are needed for the old jet engines as they dont have the immediate effect of the high by-pass engines of today.

The comments on the approach are accurate though as it wasn't as stabilized as it could have been. Probably a factor of gusts, visual approach, no passengers to scare etc.

The Captain certainly seems skilled as a stick handler so shouldn't put all his eggs in the comedy basket

I can't figure out however, why comments are greeted with the name calling and assumption that the guy making them has no experience. Whats up with that??

Believe it or not kids, not every pilot out there is cut from the Air Canada cloth (thank God!). It takes all types to make this industry work and these fellows really seem to enjoy their job flying the old bird around the world. and YES, people still do fly the old stuff! It had to be flown not programmed

That's a lot of picking apart the guy's landing. I just thought it was interesting because I like to watch planes land. I wasn't critiquing.

I also don't know if many pilots wear gloves.

But if you think a dirty toilet is funny, come check out mine. You'll howl with delight!

I can throw stones, 'cause I smash them on myself!

Relax. If you can't take a little comment on your landing then you better keep flying freight. God knows the pax in the back will comment!

Wingtip

I agree not everyone is cut from Air Canada cloth and I too thank God.

Looked like a visual approach. Obviously he had the localizer tuned or he wouldn't have gotten a "glideslope" call. Most likely using it as guidance laterally and vertically on the visual approach. Larger thrust movements are needed on the older jet engines, all the more reason to have a stabilized approach.

Frustrated there deskgo? Call Caneman up. Who knows give him 30 grand maybe he'll let you fly the 8?

You guys thought his DC8 video was funny, check out his C172 video:

And for those that were wondering about his gloves, he elaborates about them in this new video!
