Dam That G550 is 🔥🔥. Ordered a bag! I can’t wait to get it 🤘🏼
G550 is definitely the goat
Fantastic video as always bro! Just popped on your website and grabbed a flight bag which I’m so pumped to use as I just started training for my ppl finally! The Discovery flight changed my life and I’m not looking back at 37 I finally found what I want out of life and you really helped me make that choice after running circles around it for years! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing content!
Thanks for sharing such awesome information. I really enjoy your videos. Keep it coming!!
“I have to poop so bad but have no time” then cues action movie music with epic b roll😂
HAHAHAHAH when you gotta go you gotta gooo. except i had to wait lol
Almost done with my instrument rating, so looking forward to doing what you do. DREAM JOB!!!
Nice one Tommy. I'll watch this one tomorrow 🤙
You are so blessed Gear down to have a terrific job as this
i love seeing great people doing well for themselves, great video as always!
Great video!!! Totally worth the ski interruption that scenery in the air is beautiful. You have such a cool job.
Ben here since the start! Love the content keep up the great work!
Another great video man!
Just got my flight bag, thanks for the GEAR DOWN patch and gummy bears my man! Going to use it today on my 150NM XC
You're a splendid pilot, and we love your videos!
Got my flight bag, it's great, and thanks for the free shirt!
I appreciate your channel always exciting to watch you're HIM ✌🏾
Just got my commercial multi definitely looking to get into the contract work! love the videos man .
Great work
Very Cool Bro! I had to give up my Medical due to having a Defibrillator installed. It’s tough not being able to do what you love. I miss it all. I did get a pretty cool full on G1000 sim in my office which helps though. That and watching you and others videos! 😎👍🏻🤟🏻
Love the content, need more of it.
Love your channel brother!
The altitude in Eagle is no joke. Your experience in Denver is how it has been for me the last 3 times I have flown in there.
Another banging video. Tommy never misses. The goat of TH-cam 🐐
Loved the post sir , keep posting respect from India
Is that's a finance and maneuver hat? Didn't know you rolled like that, nice!
Beautiful plane!
Bought a sweatshirt…from one A&P and pilot to another, love the vids!
Sweet deal, definitely worth the ski interruption. Keep these videos coming. Looking forward to making a few myself very soon 😎
You’re Awesome Brotha 🙌🏾… did the ski slopes ⛷️ get ya seem be walking with a slight limp(shadow). Love the content Captain. @ 10:15 what’s the soundtrack
Solid video! You probably could have driven to Eagle from SLC faster than flying to Denver and driving back west!
Hey man, just wanna say great video a big big fan after I saw your first video of how you make money as a part 91 on-call charter pilot or corporate pilot. Keep up the good work man super proud of you. I am going to be looking at your Flight bag to see how they work and stuff if they work and fit sort of my work style, I’ll be definitely more than happy to buy one other than that man keep up the good work, keep making the videos and man keep killing it with the aviation content you’re making on here, and, you’re living it keep doing the good work
Get it brother!!!
Great video, as always bro. Blue side up.
Love the clients plane, would love to ride in something like that one day.
Me too she’s a beauty
Hey man great video! Just found your channel a few weeks ago and have been absolutely hooked! Out of curiosity what do you look for when hiring contract pilots for your company/picking a co-pilot to fly a trip with you? I'm currently in the flight training process, any advice for how I can better set myself up for success in the contract pilot world when I'm done with my training? Keep up the great work!

Thanks for insight ....
Brilliant content Great balance 👍🏿♥️
Excellent content 🤟🤟🤟
Great video as always Tommy. Saw your live yesterday. Here is my take on your fantastic philantrophy. In this aviation industry that I have been in all my life, in the airlines, as a Boeing Delivery Mgr, and as a pilot, I have never seen someone who pays it forward like you do man. To the viewers, do not ask for money from him!!, thats tacky and makes you a taker and not someone who strives to do the hard work it takes to become a safe, competent, and professional pilot. Be humble, gracious, curious, and always willing to learn and give back. I'm getting back into flying largely due to Tommy's really wonderful vide he gives all of us and truly inspirational. I think a scholarship for a sub/viewer for a PPL is the way to do it.Cheers from Seattle
Thank you so much for the kind words I think that’s the plan definitely how we’re gonna run it up from here on out!
Really enjoy your videos!! Working on my PPL right now. Want to fly corporate after retiring from the military. Would love to come fly for you!!!!
Hey Tom great vid as usual! You’ve been a big motivator for me throughout my flight training and helped me learn more about bizav which is not as widely known as the airlines. I have finally gotten my CPL and multi engine IR now and will hopefully be finally getting to work in the industry I love. While I’m based in Europe rn I’m looking to get my EASA license converted to an FAA license as well in order to open more doors for me. Got any tips for me to start and network and find my way into flying corporate as new pilot in Europe?
what did you film on that followed your face around in the trunk of the rental car? insta360? Great video making the best of the situation all around
One hack I learned from the locals last time I was out in South Park and Eagle was to take an aspirin. Helps thin the blood and gets oxygen where you need it, especially if you are going to high elevation straight from Denver and don't have time to adjust to the change. Hydrate and carb up too.
Looking very nice.😊
5280 🎉 let’s go colorado !
The dj osmo pocket 3 is really nice huh? It looked so smooth
i Love it
GOOD SH*T Gear Down!
Thumbs up 👍
Did your Arrow get a buyer yet? I could not find it on trade & Plane
Helllllllll yes 💪💪💪💪
Hey great vid. I have one question. Since it seems a lot of the jobs you get are relationship based, how do you deal with telling a client no. Let’s say they wanted to bring extra people or bags leaving you overweight. Maybe they want to smoke crack in the cabin, or do whatever else you are not cool with. How do you handle this without damaging a profitable relationship? Thanks!
How possible do you think it is to do this on the side of being an airline pilot ?
Also how hard is it to get into this sector of the industry ?
What’s the reason to drive from Park City to SLC to fly to Denver and drive 2,5h back to Eagle if it’s 6h drive from Park City to Eagle?
Nice way to make a living 🤘
You got that right!
@@gear_downhow long did it take to get to where you are now? And what was your entry point? Just curious
When are you flying g600 or other 100 series?
What would be considered 'expenses' in your fee for your pilot services?
👋🏻KSRQ☀️🌴🇺🇸🛩️ Awesome as always . Hope all is well.
Whats your favorite Private Jet Company or a recommendation for private aviation company/service in Salt Lake City? Im a new pilot from Hawaii moving up to Utah for flight school. Interested to hear your thoughts
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good job Target 😂
I have a similar attitude to my clients and jobs that come my way but I am way less vocal than you lol
That finance and maneuver hat though..........
Nice trans am on the lift.
WS6 Strong 💪
Brother 🙌🏼👍🛩️🛫✈️🇺🇸as ALWAYS love the energy commitment to the good life 🫵🏼 All the best 🏆 you rock 🪨
7K down 56K to go!
Hahahah damn 😭
@@gear_down Sorry I couldn’t resist!
I didn’t want to rub salt in a wound !
I’m looking to get started in the corporate jet world. I started as a mechanic like you. Working on time building and looking for opportunities. If you know of any opportunities that pop up, please let me know.
How did the poop go😂
Hey man, I seen you were looking for a person with a Class A CDL. I have mine! I’m 26 years old I’ve had my Class A since I was 19. I’m located in Arkansas and currently working on my CPL. Not sure what all the job would entail but I would be interested in the opportunity! I’m trying to get into flying professionally as my dream career!
Hey Tommy,
What ground school recommend for my PPL. I want to fly Gulfstreams like yourself, Owen David etc. Im 16 and want to be making money doing the things I love as soon as possible. Your content is very motivating and informational.
Thanks so much
So it’s actually a 2 day trip. I’m surprised some of the clients wouldn’t be too happy with all the video.
I don’t fly for anyone that cares if I film. And yes it’s a 2 calendar day trip or 27 hours. When you deal with assets that cost this much 99% of my owners don’t care about a pilots day rate.
Tres gauche.
Wouldn't have been quicker and easier with less airport hassles just to make the 6 hr drive from Park City to Eagle?
Possibly yes, but through all of it, I didn’t do more than 2.5 hours of driving the rest. I was just at the mercy of someone else doing the work which I was very OK with.
I also would’ve had to leave my hotel at the nearly the exact same time…. So all in all I’m good with it all
Make into bit shorter. Love your contact
do you work for a specific company as a contract pilot?
I own the company
@@gear_down how did you set that up
📈📈📈📈📈
Here I am paying $45 R/T on Spirit and these owners shelling out that money
Why not use your own plane to go from airport to airport.
For the people who found my instagram, the discord is coming very soon ❤
I would always rather poop on a G550 than at DEN.
Wasn't there supposed to be a UFO vid released at Thanksgiving?
I released the video when I’m ready to.
@@gear_down 🤘
17:46 I remember you saying something about that UFO. .. there is stuff out there, my uncle used to fly the 757 for UPS and he ran into one on takeoff at Louisville Kentucky many years back.. Plus my grandpa flew for Pan American airlines and he saw a few things flying around, but sometimes you got to keep yourself amd let it go .Sometimes the company your working for, can put you in a simulator for a few days .By the way I just saw you online video where we all got muted,due to technical difficulties. If you make back to your snow board trip back to P.C., It should be a good snow , a few storms are coming in this week and it's less crowded , because SUNDANCE is all over .. I'm down here in good old small Lake City, I moved up here years ago from Santa Barbara Big change still great people and the snow is fabulous. Will keep up the good work looks like you know what you're doing bud between the flying the merch all that jazz good stuff.
Trip to target for a polo to make 7k - nothing less than scumbag. Classic
Not sure if you saw in the live bro, but I fly out of KPDK in Atl and that price was for a 172L @gear_down
