“We’re NOT Gonna Make The RUNWAY!!” | The Terrifying Story of Hop-a-Jet Flight 823

Two and a half million subscribers is the round number Mentour Pilot sits at now, and the week gave them a story about a runway nobody reached. On February 9, 2024, a Challenger 600 was minutes from landing in Naples, Florida, when both engines rolled back at once. The description rules out birds, ice and fuel, and leaves the pilots with seconds to put the jet down on Interstate 75. The episode draws on the NTSB's final report, and it had a big first day, well past half a million views in three.

The other upload, "Airplanes BREAK Without This!", is a shorter explainer that opened more modestly and keeps a steady trickle going. Behind both, the ten-day-old look at Adam Air Flight 574, the 2007 crash into the Makassar Strait that the description calls the deadliest involving a 737-400, is edging toward a million views.

Among aviation and machine channels, Mentour Pilot ranks second by subscribers, behind Just Planes. MURPHYS DIESEL is the one running above its usual pace this week, while Diesel Creek is holding right at its normal level.
