This is the moment drunk louts on a stag party were hauled off a plane by police to cheers from passengers who had been put through 'eight hours of hell'.
Stag Michael Ward and his mates Scott Capper, Craig Hopwood, and Daniel Howarth, caused misery for more than 300 other passengers on a Thomas Cook flight from Manchester to Las Vegas.
The friends, who were all drunk when they boarded the plane, downed drinks, smoked e-cigarettes and hurled abuse at cabin crew during the journey on March 24, 2018.
All four by a judge at Manchester Crown Court. They all pleaded guilty to affray and being drink on an aircraft.
Howarth, 35, of Harrow Avenue, Oldham, pleaded guilty to section four public disorder and being drunk on an aircraft. He has now been locked up for 19 months.
Video footage has emerged of the moment police hauled the three men off the aircraft in Canada.
Passengers can be heard cheering and filming as they men are led away in handcuffs by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Some of the men can be heard speaking back to passengers after they were jeered.
Hopwood, Ward and Capper were seen pulling their trousers down and exposing themselves throughout the flight, police said.
One of them even claimed to have a bomb in their bag, a court heard.
Cabin crew refused to serve them, but they continued to drink from duty free, with five litres of alcohol being confiscated.
When warned that the flight would be diverted if their behaviour continued, Ward said: "You can't tell me what to do.
"You are lower down the food chain from me. I am a 40K a year a builder. You are just an air hostess. Don't try and tell me what do.”
When they continued swearing and shouting at both staff and passengers, the captain made the very serious decision to divert the flight to Winnipeg, in Canada, as it was no longer safe to continue flying.

He was forced to dump 10,000 gallons of fuel in order to land safely and, on landing, the four men were arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
A cabin manager said it was the worst behaviour displayed by passengers in her 22 year career.
The diversion cost Thomas Cook about £35,000, as well as having to pay for new flights for inconvenienced passengers and for the return flights to the UK of the four defendants.
Judge Hilary Manley, sentencing the four men on Tuesday, said: "None of you were in a fit state to be on an aircraft, but none of you cared.
"The arrogance and contempt each of you displayed is breathtaking.
"You were a group of loud, large, drunk men with total contempt for other passengers and misogynistic aggression to the crew."
