A joke that I heard years ago in high school: “An airliner made a hard landing. As an old lady was disembarking at the gate, she asked the captain, ‘Sonny, can I ask you a question?’ The captain replied, ‘Absolutely, ma’am!’ She asked, ‘Did we land or were we shot down?’”
One time on a South West flight, we hit the runway so hard, everybody gasped or yelped. Then the flight attendant who already looked rattled said, "Welcome to Seattle..." When someone reminded her that we were in fact in Tacoma, she replied, "Sorry, I'm still recovering from the landing!" I used to be aircrew in the Air Force flying on what is essentially a militarized Boeing 707. I'd bet my next paycheck the pilot damaged the landing gear with that landing.
@@RealGalaxyGamers ryanair uk/ireland is actually very good. Gets bad press and people take the piss, but its a huge company compared to others. I wouldnt worry if I used it, only ever flew with them twice. Uk newcastle to tenerife, new plane less than year old,must be last NG bought as they never took delivery of the Max yet. Was an amazing flight and landing. The return was perfect except for landing, felt like plane fell out the sky and hit runway sideways, swerving side to side down runway. But that must be windsheer and pilots did very well to land it. I'd certainly still use them.
I flew from east coast to midwest in Oct 2017 as planes were trying to get out of east coast before airports were canceling flights due to bad storm. So many people threw up on plane from turbulence and one special needs adult had an accident that the pilot apologized for the odor due to the recirculating air or something like that. I never loved flying but after that flight it turned to an active dislike!
I was on a southwest flight going to Vegas. During heavy turbulence he didn’t realize the intercom was on and said “oh shit”. The ONLY time I clapped when we landed.
I get calls sometimes but I have the do not disturb sign up most of the time, still waiting for someone who knows my channel to bang on the wall cause they know I am recording though 😂
I like that youre promoting respect for Flight Attendants. But not just because they are there to ensure your safety, even if they were 'just' waitresses ... just treat people with respect unless they have done you wrong. Paying someone for a service doesn't make one superior. (Here i don't meant You, but you as people in general)
The history of flight attendants is that they used to be flying nurses, not sure how much of that is still true.There is definitely some medical training involved as well as emergency training. But being respectful to other people goes without saying, until they prove they do not deserve it by the way _they_ behave and disrespect people, and even then it is often just as stupid to start attacking people over not having a face mask on.
I always have great respect for anyone in the service industry, especially those that can put on their happy face and/or provide great service in whatever they do. My way of thinking is that I couldn't do their jobs, I would probably be in jail if did have to do their job.
I like it when the pilots are near where you get on the plane, it's just fun and makes the flight better for some reason. Glad you do it, it just feels more like a personal flight.
This is so true, Kelsey, regarding landings. I still remember my smoothest landing ever after more than 20 years. Cleared on a straight-in to RWY33 at KDPA in a PA-28, I had to crab it in to account for a slight cross-wind (I hadn't acquired the hang of dipping the windward wing yet). After correcting alignment at the last second, I set her down so gently it was one of those butter landings we all want to give passengers.
When my daughter was 13 months old we flew from Madrid to NY. I accidentally checked the bag with the diapers. No other infants on the flight. Flight attendants were amazing and rigged a cloth napkin with pantry liner to hold her over to NY!!
That kid flying around reminds me of my roughest large plane flight.... On one of my all too regular return flights from Schipol to Birmingham we took a long time to turn east (we were warned about it being a longer than usual flight). I was sitting in 1C, and the coffee flight service was just starting when we hit a bump - the flight attendant left the floor, the coffee went over the guy on the other side of the aisle, I got her in my lap - she turned to me and said "I think you got the best part of that deal Sir"....
I had someone tell me about an Int'l flight that was headed into rough enough turbulence that flight attendants collected drinks. One guy refused and ultimately the flight attendant had to sit for safety. Suffice it to say, the drink landed on the guy in the next row. Always obey the flight attendants.
11:37 I was on a WestJet flight once that came down somewhat more firmly than usual (it was wet weather and having seen Captain Joe's video about it, now suspect the firm touch was to avoid hydroplaning the 737) and the PA was somewhat like this: "Thank you for flying WestJet. Please be careful when removing the overhead luggage as it may have shifted during flight, and particularly during that landing."
I have found in my life that pilots that the strangest sence of humor. Having both parents work for a reginal airlines in the 50s, 60s, my father the 70s,80s. The pilots I talked to always made me laugh no matter what my age. Great guys and gals
"If you see the flight attendants sitting down and strapped in, you don't want to get up" please say that 5000 times before every single one of my flights...literally I've had passengers getting up during take off role to the toilet or not even vacating the active runway and they open the overhead bins 😒
I remember the time when I used to fly a lot with Czech Airlines. There was one pilot - a true master of smooth landing. Most of the times I was able to tell that it was him just by the way he was landing - you could barely feel touchdown. One day he outdid even himself: I didn't notice that we had already landed until thrust reversals were engaged!
4:52 reminds me of a time when I was on a SouthWest flight and the weather systems went down so there were no open gates and like 4 planes ahead of us, so the pilot parked us on the tarmac in between two active runways! One guy got up, stretched, looked one flight attendant in the eyes, and then walked straight back while she was telling him to please sit down and put on his seat belt, which he should have been doing with the illuminated sign. Well, the pilot said, "There's a gate open, and we can taxi there now, so I need everyone in their seats with their seat belts on." The flight attendants are yelling towards the back to sit down and buckle up, and nothing happens, so they tell the pilot to go. I was sitting in the back, and the guy was still in the bathroom, and all we hear after we start moving is a thunk and a yelp. Everyone on the plane is just laughing super hard, and we park at the gate. The guy gets out, grabs his stuff, and leaves. Literally first guy off the plane. Lol

Hey Kelsey love the channel. I was driving home from work last week and seen a 74 coming in for a landing (odd sight to see in my town) when I got home I looked up the flight traffic to see what company it was and I think it was the company you fly for. Then instantly wondered if Kelsey was in my town. Greetings from Moncton New Brunswick Canada. Keep up the good work
Definitely always put me a bit more at ease to see the pilot when boarding! I’ve even shook pilots hands on my way off the plane as a (thank you for getting me here safe) “thank you “.
Once when I was on a flight, the plane ran into a small bit of turbulence just as the flight attendant reached my row with the snack cart. She immediately stopped pushing it, grabbed the overhead bin with one hand to steady herself, and said "You know what, I'm just going to stop here for a minute and dance in the aisle". This was onboard an A319, in case anyone is curious.
*747-8F coming in for landing, suddenly drops altitude and rocks wings waving to the control tower........wing strikes the ground, comes in for final approach....plane belly lands with no gear extended.....young bald headed pilot jumps out screaming, "Clear props!!!"......Just another normal day for Kelsey ;)*
@@74gear I'm absolutely unqualified for your job. And it's not just losing the staring contest as evidence of that :-) it's not an easy job! Though I've been around aircraft since a kid. I helped out at a museum, working on a B17 and by pushing a broom or hanging on the end of a wrench attached to a radial engine head jug bolt, helping out with a rebuild of a mark 1 spitfire by fetching tools or bucking rivets or getting beers. I've never actually had control of an airplane other than an Aeronca super chief from the 40s. Someday to take care of that for real but no big multiengine jets in my future except as a passenger!
It's very true about taking care of the flight attendants, they'll take care of you. Years ago, I was flying from SFO to IAD after doing some IT upgrades for UAL. A hurricane was about to hit the east coast so they were cancelling flights back home. I got on the last plane back to IAD. Before going to the gate, I bought a dozen cookies from the McDonald's and then sat at the gate near the flight attendants. I offered them a cookie and a few took me up on the offer. I then went to the gate agent to see if I could get an economy plus seat since I was tall and I was in the last row of the plane. I offered her a cookie as well, which she gladly took and I got upgraded to row 10! When I got on the plane, someone had taken my seat because they wanted to sit with their family, and they said they were in row 7, so I took that seat. Then the first class attendant came up and said, come with me, and I wound up in 3A first class! That was the best flight I ever had. I started out at the back of the plane and then ended up in first class, best $5 worth of cookies I've ever spent!
Early in my career, I was flying in the right seat with a captain who had a reputation for being an arrogant, condescending horse's arse. He made a terribly hard landing one day, so hard that we had to get the gear inspected before the next flight. The lead FA began her "welcome to" message by saying, "On behalf of Captain Crunch and the entire team..." I came out of the cockpit first. The FA pointed at me and mouthed the words, "Not him." When the captain emerged, the entire cabin broke out in laughs, jeers, and rude noises. Thank God it was the last leg of the day. I stayed with that regional for about a year. Mercifully, I was never again assigned to fly with Captain Crunch.
First x15! Oh wow they put you right across from Nordstrom? NICE! Working on that lifetime diamond status? Ya definitely with ya on smooth landings!! 🤣 Flight delays, time zone changes, confined to hotel rooms and limited dining options-yet you manage to share the good bits during the week and give us aviation content with a healthy dose of humor every Sunday. So thank you for flying supplies around, for making the videos and for responding to comments. 🙏🏻
I flew once on Helvetic E190 from ZRH to WAW, it was a very bumpy final because of the weather, however the pilots touched down so smothly that I didn’t even realised when they did it. Thanks for your video and stay safe :)
One time I was in the Lavatory and that is when the Plane hit some Turbulence! When I came out of the lavatory and trying to get back to my seat without falling on someone's lap the flight attendant said "I didn't know you were in there!" Lol
Real happy I found your channel. The way you craft your videos are such a joy to watch on top of the interesting, rich and valuable content. I love the funny stuff you include. The fact that you are obviously a decent guy with values makes your videos just perfect. You use the right amount of music and its volume levels, your voice is very pleasant to listen to (something I`m kinda sensitive about, don`t get me wrong I don`t mean the voice people are born with but the way someone talks) and yes, I saw the videos people refer to how you look (makes me cringe to even mention it) and all I can say is those people are sooo beyond......just beyond.....(I find no words for it because beauty is just so much there and everywhere and some people are in the sad position not being able to see it and I don`t mean it in an offensive way but in a compassionate way). Your videos are of high value and I appreciate the work you put into it. Just so you know, there are times when I`m not feeling so well emotionally, so also then your videos help to overcome those moments besides watching and following your channel generally. I wish you all the best and hope your channel grows according to its worthiness. (sorry if my english is not perfectly accurate, kind greetings from Switzerland, you are always welcome to drop by should you ever make it here.)
Annabelle M My most horrible was a London-Paris, the whole flight was entirely shaky, it feels like we went through a 500km-long storm, it was awesome, but given what I know now about how pilots are supposed to avoid storms... I’m a bit surprised that it wasn’t cancelled.
As far as the seatbelt sign is concerned, I try to avoid consuming a ton of liquids on the day of a flight, and use the bathroom in the terminal as much as possible simply for this very reason. You never know if/when the seatbelt sign may be turned off. Plus, there could be a long line to use ONE lavatory, especially on a regional jet.
I've flown for many years and my dad was a private pilot. I have nothing but praise for the pilots and crew. Sometimes a landing is a little hard, sometimes it's a little hot. Stuff happens. I'm still a fan.
Oh goodness I got a clot so flying home I had to walk every hour a 4 hour flight. the attendant finally asked why are you walking so much? seatbelt sign is off but I am wondering? She was so kind when I said I had to not to get another clot. "Oh walk away!"
3:16 The thing about taking care of flight attendants ... I'm just a passenger, but I always take chocolate bars or cookies from the gift shop to give to them. I'm one of those people who can't sit in a seat for long periods, pay for an aisle seat, and like to chat while also being as polite as possible. I'm not expecting anything in return, but an extra Coke or water is certainly welcome. If I had that job, I'd have throttled someone already.
About the "it'll fit", I mean, who between a passenger and a flight attendant might know the plane best? I always listen to FA, they know their stuffs, it's not to bother you, but for your safety and confort...
I love that meme with the car standing on it's nose in a snowstorm. I remember when this happened, it made national news. Can't believe a New Hampshire meme made it 😂
I had a flight that was so smooth that I did not even know we had landed, I was reading a book and every one was getting up and it took a moment to understand why.
as an RN in a nursing home, we still have to go in even when it's WARNING LEVEL RED in my state that is emergency vehicles only. i've got to where i just pack a bag the day before and stay in an empty room.
Kelsey the part you said about bags not fitting that is so true! Because I get that a lot as a ramp agent at SNA station and the pax are like "it will fit" and I'm like "we'll see about that".
Seriously....i visited your channel...have you looks at Americas Democrat party? Have you listened to sloppy Joe Biden? You speak a these horrible things about Trump on your channel and you are from Germany... Look into Hillary Clinton...Trump isnt perfect but we are blessed not having to say Madam President...
Your mentioning smooth landings reminds me of the only time I've ever been on a commercial plane. It was back in March 1998. I was living in Bowling Green, OH and had a job interview in Atlanta with Norfolk Southern. They flew me down from Toledo and then back the next day after the interviews. Anyways, both ways, I was on a Delta 727 back in coach. Between Toledo and Atlanta, we had an intermediate stop in Fort Wayne. So, going down, we start backing out from the terminal in Toledo, and the flight attendants start in with the safety lecture. George Carlin was right on with how the lecture goes, which helped to calm my nerves somewhat. However, I looked out over the left wing as we were taxiing and didn't realize until then how much a wing flexes. We took off, and since it was a short trip to Fort Wayne, we didn't get above the clouds. I looked out on the wing, and the scene from "Twilight Zone: The Movie" started going through my head, which didn't help my nerves. So, we started coming down to Fort Wayne, and I was looking out and saw the edge of the runway out the window, and it seemed to stop coming up. I started thinking "That was a really smooth landing." Suddenly, there was a loud WHAM! that shook the plane. The first thing that went through my mind was "belly landing", and I immediately braced myself for what I thought was going to be a crash. Then I felt the plane slowing and realized that it was the tires hitting that caused the jolt. I know that when watching planes land on TV or movies, I'd seen the tire smoke when the plane touches down, but it looks so much smoother than when on the plane itself. Thankfully, knowing what to expect after that first part of the trip, the rest of the flight and my return flight went smoothly. Between Fort Wayne and Atlanta, we got up above the clouds, and that was a beautiful sight.
well if covid would go away thats something I had planned for March... but maybe in May... I could still technically go rent a plane now cause I am "essential personnel" but I think thats missing the point.
Check out the blancolirio channel on TH-cam. He flies a Luscombe (1932-33?) on his personal time. Great story teller and news reporter out of Nevada City, CA. Plus he flies for AA
I would have loved to see a pilot while boarding or leaving a plane to say hello or even to thank them at the end of a flight. Not to mention I have a lot of respect for pilots so it would be really nice to see them.
Crew managment: "If you don't do it, we'll get you fired!" My response: "Good luck!" *hangs up* That's when normal people realize that Unions are a good thing...
My favourite one was the "it'll fit" one. Because I eyeball carryon bags myself and I be like "yeah that's not gonna fit". Watching people struggle to try to get that bag in the overhead while the cabin crew just watches on, waiting to tag it and place it in the baggage hold is hilarious 😂😂
10:34 Last time a flight attendant told me "it's not going to fit", I politely asked what she suggested, then followed her instructions *exactly.* Our date ended very pleasantly. ;-)
Back in my active times I was in a military transport B707 on my way home from a NATO excercise. After we had experienced quite a hard landing the announcement started with the words: "As you've probably noticed we've touched down at xy Air Base." The word "probably" was given a special tone here ;-)
A joke that I heard years ago in high school:
“An airliner made a hard landing. As an old lady was disembarking at the gate, she asked the captain, ‘Sonny, can I ask you a question?’
The captain replied, ‘Absolutely, ma’am!’
She asked, ‘Did we land or were we shot down?’”
That was mean and awesome
Lol
🤣
The old lady was point on!
😂 I haven't heard that from a pax but I have heard some FAs roast pilots before.
Pilots does a hard landing
Other airlines: You're fired
Ryanair: You're hired
One time on a South West flight, we hit the runway so hard, everybody gasped or yelped. Then the flight attendant who already looked rattled said, "Welcome to Seattle..."

i love seeing my pilots when i board, and thanking them when I leave.
*747-8F coming in for landing, suddenly drops altitude and rocks wings waving to the control tower........wing strikes the ground, comes in for final approach....plane belly lands with no gear extended.....young bald headed pilot jumps out screaming, "Clear props!!!"......Just another normal day for Kelsey ;)*
Scheduling "pressuring you to get there." Because get-there-itis and tunnel vision has never killed anyone in aviation ever.
I lost the staring contest this video and now my eyes are blind. I've no idea how he goes so long without blinking.
special 747 pilot training... you just aren't ready yet 😉
@@74gear I'm absolutely unqualified for your job. And it's not just losing the staring contest as evidence of that :-) it's not an easy job! Though I've been around aircraft since a kid. I helped out at a museum, working on a B17 and by pushing a broom or hanging on the end of a wrench attached to a radial engine head jug bolt, helping out with a rebuild of a mark 1 spitfire by fetching tools or bucking rivets or getting beers. I've never actually had control of an airplane other than an Aeronca super chief from the 40s. Someday to take care of that for real but no big multiengine jets in my future except as a passenger!
It's very true about taking care of the flight attendants, they'll take care of you. Years ago, I was flying from SFO to IAD after doing some IT upgrades for UAL. A hurricane was about to hit the east coast so they were cancelling flights back home. I got on the last plane back to IAD. Before going to the gate, I bought a dozen cookies from the McDonald's and then sat at the gate near the flight attendants. I offered them a cookie and a few took me up on the offer. I then went to the gate agent to see if I could get an economy plus seat since I was tall and I was in the last row of the plane. I offered her a cookie as well, which she gladly took and I got upgraded to row 10! When I got on the plane, someone had taken my seat because they wanted to sit with their family, and they said they were in row 7, so I took that seat. Then the first class attendant came up and said, come with me, and I wound up in 3A first class! That was the best flight I ever had. I started out at the back of the plane and then ended up in first class, best $5 worth of cookies I've ever spent!
Early in my career, I was flying in the right seat with a captain who had a reputation for being an arrogant, condescending horse's arse. He made a terribly hard landing one day, so hard that we had to get the gear inspected before the next flight. The lead FA began her "welcome to" message by saying, "On behalf of Captain Crunch and the entire team..." I came out of the cockpit first. The FA pointed at me and mouthed the words, "Not him." When the captain emerged, the entire cabin broke out in laughs, jeers, and rude noises. Thank God it was the last leg of the day.
I stayed with that regional for about a year. Mercifully, I was never again assigned to fly with Captain Crunch.
First x15!
Oh wow they put you right across from Nordstrom? NICE! Working on that lifetime diamond status?
Ya definitely with ya on smooth landings!! 🤣
Flight delays, time zone changes, confined to hotel rooms and limited dining options-yet you manage to share the good bits during the week and give us aviation content with a healthy dose of humor every Sunday. So thank you for flying supplies around, for making the videos and for responding to comments. 🙏🏻
GG's
happy to do it and glad people are enjoying it!!
SpleefedPolar ready for next round? 😊
“i’ve never had crew juice. pfft”
I flew once on Helvetic E190 from ZRH to WAW, it was a very bumpy final because of the weather, however the pilots touched down so smothly that I didn’t even realised when they did it.
Thanks for your video and stay safe :)
I love when he say coming up
I love the: coming up!
One time I was in the Lavatory and that is when the Plane hit some Turbulence! When I came out of the lavatory and trying to get back to my seat without falling on someone's lap the flight attendant said "I didn't know you were in there!" Lol
Maybe they ought to have safety belts for the loos
Real happy I found your channel. The way you craft your videos are such a joy to watch on top of the interesting, rich and valuable content. I love the funny stuff you include. The fact that you are obviously a decent guy with values makes your videos just perfect. You use the right amount of music and its volume levels, your voice is very pleasant to listen to (something I`m kinda sensitive about, don`t get me wrong I don`t mean the voice people are born with but the way someone talks) and yes, I saw the videos people refer to how you look (makes me cringe to even mention it) and all I can say is those people are sooo beyond......just beyond.....(I find no words for it because beauty is just so much there and everywhere and some people are in the sad position not being able to see it and I don`t mean it in an offensive way but in a compassionate way). Your videos are of high value and I appreciate the work you put into it. Just so you know, there are times when I`m not feeling so well emotionally, so also then your videos help to overcome those moments besides watching and following your channel generally. I wish you all the best and hope your channel grows according to its worthiness. (sorry if my english is not perfectly accurate, kind greetings from Switzerland, you are always welcome to drop by should you ever make it here.)
The smoothest landing I witnessed were in Capetown, you coulnd´t tell when the plane stoped flying and startet rolling on the runway
Annabelle M My most horrible was a London-Paris, the whole flight was entirely shaky, it feels like we went through a 500km-long storm, it was awesome, but given what I know now about how pilots are supposed to avoid storms... I’m a bit surprised that it wasn’t cancelled.
These memes are hysterical Kelsey.Keep them coming & stay safe.
8:53 Then seconds later you see the tail number and the pilot wearing a green sweater
Thanks Kelsey! Love your videos! Take care, be safe and... "Keep the blue side up!"
As far as the seatbelt sign is concerned, I try to avoid consuming a ton of liquids on the day of a flight, and use the bathroom in the terminal as much as possible simply for this very reason. You never know if/when the seatbelt sign may be turned off. Plus, there could be a long line to use ONE lavatory, especially on a regional jet.
I've flown for many years and my dad was a private pilot. I have nothing but praise for the pilots and crew. Sometimes a landing is a little hard, sometimes it's a little hot. Stuff happens. I'm still a fan.
6:00 Once I'm seated, I fasten my seatbelt, whether the sign is on or not. It's just a good habit to develop.
Only idiots and Tik Toc users leave their belts unfastened
Be safe! Thanks for the light entertainment! Really brightens up my day!!
Kelsey: "If you love those cookies, [stealing is] really worth it."
Airline: "Am I a joke to you?"
I am a simple person.
I hear stealing is really worth it, I take my advantage.
I almost didn't recognize Los Angeles without the haze and smog. The trees, poor zoning, and Benihana's gave it away lol.
I kinda just watch the video to see him saying 'comin up'
😂 well glad you like it Simon!
I love that part too haha!
Makes me smile every time :D
Thanks for another one, Kelsey.. 🍻🍻👍👍
thanks for sharing these Ray!
Oh goodness I got a clot so flying home I had to walk every hour a 4 hour flight. the attendant finally asked why are you walking so much? seatbelt sign is off but I am wondering? She was so kind when I said I had to not to get another clot. "Oh walk away!"
3:16 The thing about taking care of flight attendants ... I'm just a passenger, but I always take chocolate bars or cookies from the gift shop to give to them. I'm one of those people who can't sit in a seat for long periods, pay for an aisle seat, and like to chat while also being as polite as possible. I'm not expecting anything in return, but an extra Coke or water is certainly welcome. If I had that job, I'd have throttled someone already.
About the "it'll fit", I mean, who between a passenger and a flight attendant might know the plane best? I always listen to FA, they know their stuffs, it's not to bother you, but for your safety and confort...
Kelsey you are my favourite 747 pilot and i love the mordan vibes 🙋♂️
i’ve been wanting to say this for so long:
Kelsey: *has hair*
Hair: aight, ima head out.
No better feeling than a smooth landing under canopy after a nice sky dive.
I love that meme with the car standing on it's nose in a snowstorm. I remember when this happened, it made national news. Can't believe a New Hampshire meme made it 😂
I had a flight that was so smooth that I did not even know we had landed, I was reading a book and every one was getting up and it took a moment to understand why.
as an RN in a nursing home, we still have to go in even when it's WARNING LEVEL RED in my state that is emergency vehicles only. i've got to where i just pack a bag the day before and stay in an empty room.
Those made me laugh! I love your aviation memes series! Keep well, Kelsey! :)
Glad you liked it Denise thanks for watching
3:23 sometimes it’s only cookies. What’s the other thing...🤔😅
Kelsey the part you said about bags not fitting that is so true! Because I get that a lot as a ramp agent at SNA station and the pax are like "it will fit" and I'm like "we'll see about that".
Hey! I’m a helicopter pilot from Germany. I really love your content and attitude! Sunny greetings and stay safe!🤜🏼🤛🏻
Seriously....i visited your channel...have you looks at Americas Democrat party? Have you listened to sloppy Joe Biden?
You speak a these horrible things about Trump on your channel and you are from Germany...
Look into Hillary Clinton...Trump isnt perfect but we are blessed not having to say Madam President...
Thanks glad you like it, helicopters look like a lot of fun to fly but never tried!
@@74gear Well there's an idea for a video.
Your mentioning smooth landings reminds me of the only time I've ever been on a commercial plane. It was back in March 1998. I was living in Bowling Green, OH and had a job interview in Atlanta with Norfolk Southern. They flew me down from Toledo and then back the next day after the interviews. Anyways, both ways, I was on a Delta 727 back in coach. Between Toledo and Atlanta, we had an intermediate stop in Fort Wayne.
So, going down, we start backing out from the terminal in Toledo, and the flight attendants start in with the safety lecture. George Carlin was right on with how the lecture goes, which helped to calm my nerves somewhat. However, I looked out over the left wing as we were taxiing and didn't realize until then how much a wing flexes. We took off, and since it was a short trip to Fort Wayne, we didn't get above the clouds. I looked out on the wing, and the scene from "Twilight Zone: The Movie" started going through my head, which didn't help my nerves. So, we started coming down to Fort Wayne, and I was looking out and saw the edge of the runway out the window, and it seemed to stop coming up. I started thinking "That was a really smooth landing." Suddenly, there was a loud WHAM! that shook the plane. The first thing that went through my mind was "belly landing", and I immediately braced myself for what I thought was going to be a crash. Then I felt the plane slowing and realized that it was the tires hitting that caused the jolt. I know that when watching planes land on TV or movies, I'd seen the tire smoke when the plane touches down, but it looks so much smoother than when on the plane itself.
Thankfully, knowing what to expect after that first part of the trip, the rest of the flight and my return flight went smoothly. Between Fort Wayne and Atlanta, we got up above the clouds, and that was a beautiful sight.
Would be awesome to get a perspective on heavy pilots, that maybe still fly smaller Cessna aircraft for pleasure
Check with your FAA doctor. If it's health related you can be grounded.
well if covid would go away thats something I had planned for March... but maybe in May... I could still technically go rent a plane now cause I am "essential personnel" but I think thats missing the point.
Check out the blancolirio channel on TH-cam. He flies a Luscombe (1932-33?) on his personal time. Great story teller and news reporter out of Nevada City, CA.
Plus he flies for AA
Oh...and good morning Kelsey. 😁
Malibu Flyer. Not a heavy man but a large man that just fits in his Malibu. It is also a great private pilot channel.
0:30 We recognize the *inside* of the hotel room by now, Kelsey.
I love all ur vids keep up the work
Thanks Jelle I appreciate that!
Thanks i will never forget this
The passenger with the oversize hand-luggage looks like he's trying to smuggle his wife on board!
The "you're still coming in" meme applies to nurses, too. If you've got a pulse, they will guilt you into coming in.
I think after August or so Toilet paper will be an international currency 😜😜
ya I should be stock piling hotel TP 😆
@@74gearya I think you should do that.....
you are going to be super rich Kelsey 🤑🤑🤑🤑💰💰💰💲💲💲💵💵💵💸💸💸
😜😜
Thank you for this light-hearted fun!!!! And Happy Easter!!!
Idea:you should make a vlog where you show us videos like in flight
Like if u agree
well in the US I can't record in a commercial aircraft if we are operating a revenue flight or I would gladly do that, would be awesome
@@74gear So don't do it in the US
"It'll fit." soooo true lol I just CRIED laughing
I love these meme videos? Thanks Kelsey! Do you ever haul toilet paper?🧻🧻😂That would make you very popular these days!
I was just wondering if I had, I haven't been told if I have though 😆
I would have loved to see a pilot while boarding or leaving a plane to say hello or even to thank them at the end of a flight. Not to mention I have a lot of respect for pilots so it would be really nice to see them.
It's 11pm and tomorrow I have an online class at 7:50am xD
Idk why but the "clear prop" one had me screaming, that may have been the best iteration of that meme 😂😂😂
Crew managment: "If you don't do it, we'll get you fired!"
My response: "Good luck!" *hangs up*
That's when normal people realize that Unions are a good thing...
I love being greeted by the pilot in the galley--thank you for doing that!
You mentioned the 'C' word - instant demonetisation. Very brave. We salute you. ::salutes::
I think its more if you are doing doom and gloom... but ya we will find out..
@@74gear Personally, I think it's just a callous move on Google's part to take even more of your revenue.
@@74gear pro tip: to avoid being demonized by TH-cam refer to the virus as "the beverage bug"
@@Jablicek more than likely
@@nigelmarvin1387 The reason why everything is shut down at the moment.
My favourite one was the "it'll fit" one. Because I eyeball carryon bags myself and I be like "yeah that's not gonna fit". Watching people struggle to try to get that bag in the overhead while the cabin crew just watches on, waiting to tag it and place it in the baggage hold is hilarious 😂😂
Genevieve Campbell I do that too. I’m always surprised what people think will fit🤦♂️
Stay safe mate, remember to wear a mask, wash your hand and minimize contact with others.
Rory Slater : While people like you get the virus and spread it.
Thanks appreciate it CYKA at least I have something to do while I sit inside right?
Interesting name....🤔
Always look forward to 74 gear videos
10:34 Last time a flight attendant told me "it's not going to fit", I politely asked what she suggested, then followed her instructions *exactly.*
Our date ended very pleasantly. ;-)
Flying is not a hard job, but flying must be in your blood to be a good pilot
Great video! These r my favorite! Stay safe!
thanks Alex, glad you enjoyed it.
And another great video. Thank you so much. Always enjoyable. I like your sense of humor, as well. Best wishes.
Love your channel. So much passion in your storytelling :)
Your Russian subscriber From Latvia 🤪
I love how Kelsey explains the meme too, because some I don't understand. 😁😁
It's awesome that this video has 121,339 views and only 51 dislikes (and of course 5,266 likes). Keep up the great work Kelsey!😃
Hey! Love your intro. Especially with the music you have with it now. 👍. Very fitting with your channel.
Back in my active times I was in a military transport B707 on my way home from a NATO excercise. After we had experienced quite a hard landing the announcement started with the words: "As you've probably noticed we've touched down at xy Air Base." The word "probably" was given a special tone here ;-)
I think that this might be my favorite series👍👍❤️❤️🙂
Nice work. Enjoyed it.
