Four clip video of happenings at Fantasy of Flight recently. Including flights of their Albatros D Va and Sikorsky S-39, also engine tests on a Fokker Triplane and Fokker D-VIII. Things get a little hot with the D-VIII, but get under control quickly.

Thats the difference between an experienced pilot and a newbee... knowing your plane and situation, and when to have a fire extinguisher on standby.

Yes... You can hear Kermit briefing his crew about the fire risk, and ask for an extinguisher to be ready; but it wasn't exactly ready for instant use though, was it?

I thought they acted pretty quickly. And took care of the situation quite competently.
