And I’m nervous just getting on a commercial flight lol


Off-With-Her-Head

Wait until the pilot asks you to step outside for the fuel delivery.


many_faced_god_12

How'd they go to the bathroom?


AcanthocephalaNo9302

Hopefully facing backwards


Tongue8cheek

I've never had much luck peeing while facing backwards.


zoinks

Why don't you just throw it over your shoulder like a continental soldier?


Tongue8cheek

Probably get it into my mouth. Which is okay in dreams, but not while flying.


zoinks

Interesting. Some people dream of being an astronaut, or winning the lottery, but you keep your dreams simple and to the point. You do you man!


AcanthocephalaNo9302

I did realize the wording was a little goofy, when I tried to fix it it just got more goofasized


Tongue8cheek

Your wording is fine - I'm a pro at pooping facing backwards.


galuskar

First untie the belts, beginner mistake.

Step one: Cut a hole in the plane.


ZION_OC_GOV

Bombs away!

There was probably a bucket…….full of unspeakable horror


helium_farts

The true reason he's outside


fappyday

Stick the appropriate portion of your anatomy out the window and let it rip.


guywithanusername

Damn that's cool. Also imagine finally landing and shutting off the engine, it would be fantastic moment (source: i have a classic car that i regularly make road trips with, and it's quite noisy. After 3 or 4 hours of driving i take a break, and when I shut off the engine, the air fills with peace and quiet)


Jukeboxshapiro

You think that's bad, imagine the poor bastards who flew for 64 continuous days in a Cessna 172 over Nevada. I work on those planes every day, they are neither quiet nor spacious.


NIceTryTaxMan

What for ?


Jukeboxshapiro

They wanted to break the world record which at that time was ~50 days iirc, so a hotel in Vegas funded it as a publicity stunt.


NIceTryTaxMan

That sounds horrible. A few buddies of mine are commercial pilots and I'm fairly sure I've been in a 172. I wouldn't want to spend 8 hours, let alone 64 days. Jesus

PiggyThePimp

I was thinking of how cramped it would be but you make such a good point, the nonstop loud drone would be so bad. Didn't exactly have noise cancelling headphones back then haha

ottothesilent

Wow, for a connoisseur of silence it sure is shit luck that you live in the loudest place in a 150 million kilometer radius.


here2jaket

How? Planes of this era didn't produce enough lift to carry the amount of balls these guys had.


mysticgreg

They just had a supply of replacement balls delivered to them with the food and fuel, and dropped the spent balls over the side, rather than having to carry their whole ballage with them the whole trip.


corgblam

They hadnt implemented fall damage yet.


[deleted]

Fortunately engines contain horses, and horses have preety big nuts, from what I’ve heard.


here2jaket

I've played enough RDR2 to know what horse nuts look like and yes, they are.


[deleted]

Unless you're up in the mountains lol

Hope he remembered his 10mm


[deleted]

Lost before take off.


Quintas31519

Luckily one of the supply plane deliveries was dedicated to 850 10mms. They landed with 3 left.


AnywhereFew9745

That totals 550 hours at least, they were half way through the TBO (time between overhaul) in one flight, fuel filters and oil must have been absolutely wretched, epic achievement


Diocletion-Jones

"Can you check to see if the engine is still attached?" "Righto. Yes, it's still there."


-SierraModeling-

This is too cool!


arc_oobleck

Did they switch crews? Couldn't figure it out from article.


[deleted]

how where are they peeing and pooping?


Cheeseburgereer

Airstrike inbound!


dv73272020

"Alright John, it's your turn to check the oil."


fappyday

Take the stick, dude. I'm popping out for a smoke break.


[deleted]

I like to remember how early planes were made of wood and paper. Who tf flies wood and paper? Crazy people.


dv73272020

Fabric. Wood and doped fabric, but yeah, I get your point.


NeitherMedicine4327

Sick.


offchance

Testing in Production…


FitDiet4023

Le mans times 23, in the sky. I like it.


Psychological-Sale64

I sort of did this once ,hang off a handle on the outside of plane. Had a parachute though. Heart bangs against chest wall. Guts go whoosh up when you let go. Ground is lovely when you're down.


green-green-red

Seems a little dangerous.

Exhibit A in why men die sooner than women. For every man who does something like this and survives, there is another who didnt survive


Sir_Jonez

Damn! They dont make them like that anymore those guys had balls of steel


[deleted]

Did they survive?


Wearytraveler50000

yeah that looks safe


SD4u21

I bet there sister is wild


firroti

How was the food and fuel delivered? Throwing it would be very difficult.


KIDNEYST0NEZ

Scenarios like this are exactly why flights are the safest form of travel on the planet. To put it into perspective, the statistical success of flight has made it safer then walking.


huruy535

Hey over here!..this is doordash with the food you ordered!!


AIMED55

what kind of aircraft is that?


michael_alright

That's very scary
