  • What an adventure we encounter on a daily basis. It’s amazing how much information that’s in my head and how much information that I’m learning every day.
    I’m trying to share with you as much as I possibly can. I wish I can download my brain onto the Internet, and so you can see every aspect, but this is the only way I can do it, through my eyes and my ridiculous speech.
    I hope you are all enjoying this. I hope you ask questions and leave comments and entertain yourselves with the marvel of aviation. 
    I am but a simple man with simple thoughts with one simple goal, airplanes, Aviation, education. Nothing more nothing less. I’m not perfect, but I am Stig. I do my best to show you what I see and I wholeheartedly appreciate every single one of you for watching, and learning.  Thank you

    From a AA regional pilot, thank you so much for what you do! Huge respect. These videos are amazing and it’s so clear that you love your job, keep up the great work!

      @worlds_okayest_pilot_421 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You aren’t a regional pilot. AA doesn’t have any regional jets, only their partners like “American Eagle” fly the regionals. Fucking fraud. Don’t buy this guy’s bullshit, people.

      Stig Shift is a great or campaign for American. They (American) should be grateful to him.
      Knowledge is power and it gives the flying customer tremendous confidence in American Airlines.

      @StigAviation You are absolutely more than welcome Stig. You really do have an excellent way of explaining things. It's genuinely captivating. I guess I'm biased as I really am fascinated with airliners, their beauty, and the complexity. They really are works of art. I guess many people love their military aviation, mach numbers and gforces and things that go boom and all that but for me, nothing can beat the elegant, graceful beauty of airliners, especially the heavies and your vids and explanations and the detail you go into plus your love and passion for them make for amazing vids. I don't think it's hyperbole when I say you and your vids could even captivate people who don't love aviation. That was a long way of saying it's us who should be saying thank you to you.

    Hey stig! I used to be a LEO at a nearby CAT X Airport (retired.) I miss going ramp side and seeing these beauties. Love all of them! Since I’m an old man, I’ve seen everything from DC-8’s and 9’s, B72’s, L-1011’s, A310’s and the list goes on! My favs though? Triple 7’s and 75’s. Just sleek looking birds. Had a lot of good friends that were ramp rats and MX for ALL airlines. Good people man. I miss those days. Thanks for bringing back to me. The memories will always be there. Thank YOU for what you do to keep us safe!👍

    Me again, enjoying a sniff of kerosene through your channel!!! One point worth mentioning is about the Ditching Switch on the Airbus. You are absolutely right that it never got pushed on the Hudson ditching but quite understandably , but it wouldn't have made any difference as the aft cargo door failed on the landing in water and it was that that caused fairly rapid flooding of the rear of the fuselage! Despite that Solly did go down the back to check no one had been left behind. What a guy as you said.

    • @StigAviation
      @StigAviation  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You’re absolutely correct on that, the half pressure bulkhead had ruptured and no matter what the aircraft was going to take water. I had a pleasure meeting that man personally, and he is truly remarkable. An incredible person and an extraordinary Pilot.

    Fantastic channel! Spent my whole life as an automotive technician/diagnostician and always regretted not having gone into your field. Airplanes are much more interesting than cars. At least I got my private pilots license in the end to make up. Cool that the airline lets you make these videos! Subscribed.

    Hey Stig! Great video as always!
    I have an idea: If the cargo holders are pressurised as you said before, why not exchange air with nitrogen or something that lacks oxygen, to prevent cargo fire?
    Either the smaller individual containers or the whole cargo area?
    That way fire would not be able to spread and would die out.
    Would be especially worthy on long flights over water.

    • @adamb1671

      Not lithium iron batteries though, once there’s a thermal runaway, it’s gonna burn as they contain their own oxygen.

      @@adamb1671 Hm. Did not know that. That is sad.

    • @StigAviation
      @StigAviation  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Because at that point, you would have to separate the cabin pressure from the cargo. That would take a lot of new engineering to completely seal off that compartment. Also, we carry live animals in the cargo. They need oxygen.

I was an aircraft mechanic for about 10 years from 1959 Air force early jet fighters F-101B, F-100D, T-33A. 4 years then United Air lines hired me as a journeyman mechanic In SFO at there overhaul base in SFO I worked in Dock 5,6,7 , DC8 , B-720 and B727.Then there service center , it's gone now. Then the turbine shop repair ,Definitely a very interesting and rewarding job. I left United in 1969 for other jobs closer to the city I wanted to live in. You have given me a your tube channel to look forward to seeing!

    When I was a refueling technician back in the day, on the American 707's, we serviced the engine oil, and when I opened the access panel to #3, the oil cap was missing!
    I couldn't believe it even though when the engine started and went to power, the oil would drop to circulate oil throughout the engine, and I was told there was no issue.
    Well yes there was because it's there for a reason and I want to believe another oil cap was not put on and they just let it go.
    Regardless if there was a screen in place, which is what we used as an indicator as to whether there was enough oil, that flight could very well turned into a " learning " experience, if you know what I mean.
    FYI, those JT8 Pratt engines used Mobil 2380.
    Keep up the thorough work Stig!!!

    • @StigAviation
      @StigAviation  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I know exactly what you mean, and I have in the past worked on the JT8. The funny saying of, if that thing wasn’t leaking oil, it was probably out of oil. 😆

From just plane spotting on Imperial hill to those evenings after a football game seeing El Segundo High on a rainy or foggy night.
