- Welcome back everyone and welcome to another Stig Shift. I hope you are all doing well. Not much for me to put down here in regards of additional information. If you see something that I might have missed let me know, don’t hesitate to correct me. I’m here to listen and learn just like you.
I look forward to responding to all of you, thank you for watching. Cheers 🤙

As a captain on the 737 in Europe I have to commend the incredible work that you and your colleagues do to keep the jets airworthy and up in the skies where they belong!
Thank you very much Captain much appreciated, and we as maintenance appreciate our pilots for keeping the beautiful metal flying.
@@StigAviation ( @supercrw ) *ahem* 'and cleaning the ecam displays regularly... whut? 😂
@@Palmit_ 🤣 if I make it dirty I’ll clean it. But I don’t clean up after pilots. Y’all can complain to each other about that one 😂
😂 i think captains like to nominate F.O. for that task. Crew Resource Management 🤣
I’ve nominated a few pilots to clean their own windows. They declined😳
that is a Dual Ghia. It's a magnificent piece of hand crafted italian american transatlantic style car. People like Dean Martin had those and these were the brainchild of the Firearrow series of prototypes made by Chrysler. It was bodied by Ghia in Italy, hand made. I think only a few hundreds were made: power came from a Hemi Chrysler if not mistaken. The cars you see here are top top quality concours d'elegance material: that P1 GTR bears the iconic livery of the Gulf/Davidoff sponsored F1 long tail of 1997. Cool to see cargo never disappointing.
That thing is painfully beautiful ❤😩❤
Absolutely fantastic. Thank you for the additional information
I can't believe that it's sitting out on the flight line with the window rolled down...
That push back was fantastic. Most fun part of my job. Thanks Stig!

Same also why wasn’t it covered in plastic everywhere. It’s on a pallet so it’s not going to roll off.
Hey Stig. I can give you some of my 787 Captain seat perspective of a possible/probable example of what happened with that inadvertent pilot seat electric forward movement. First off, human startle factor is a real thing for an event like this, and the reality of not reacting quick enough compared to analyzing it after the fact. It is very likely this was a meal tray contact issue. The flight attendant could have just given the pilots their meal trays, and in a Boeing as you know, they go on our laps. The PF (pilot flying) will only bring his/her seat back a couple of clicks so as to not be unsafely too far aft of the rudder pedals/control column. Now visualize that the hard plastic meal tray forward edge is only an inch or less away from the control column stand, and tucked close to the Skipper’s abdomen on the aft edge. The flight attendant is standing behind, chatting for a few minutes, elbow leans on the button cover, which is displaced slightly open because of the defective rocker switch. The seat starts moving forward, everything happens very fast now…. The hard meal tray is getting squeezed between the vertical control column and the belt line of the pilot. The autopilot is pulling back hard to maintain the aircraft’s pitch. Suddenly, and I suspect within only a couple of seconds before the pilots understand what is happening, the Autopilot reaches its control column force limit and disconnects. Now the bird will pitch down very aggressively because of the nose up trim that the autopilot was inputting. What happened next was horrible. Many in the cabin hit the ceiling (unfortunately too many did not have their seatbelts on while seated), and in the cockpit I’m sure the food went airborne and the standing flight attendant hit the cockpit ceiling. A very bad day for all involved. We have a specific memo now about this incident and more awareness of keeping an eye out for a defective rocker switch, and to not let anyone ever lean on a seat back. Hopefully this will never happen again. The final report will confirm what happened that day of course. In a perfect world, the pilot would have sensed this happening immediately and stopped the seat movement before autopilot disconnect. But as I said, the startle factor has to be applied. Maybe a second or two longer and the manual seat intervention would have happened and stopped the movement, then an Air Safety Report filed by the Captain, and a preventative lesson learned. Btw, a similar thing happened on an Airbus years back. An A330 had a violent pitch down like this Boeing incident, when the left armrest made contact with an SLR camera which then made contact with the left side stick controller while the seat was moved electrically forward after getting back into the seat. MentourPilot made a good video about it if interested. I’m sure his channel will create a video about the LATAM event also within a year.
This is absolutely fantastic breakdown Mike, I really appreciate you doing this, especially from experience that you have. Everything you describe could and might have been the case. The startle factor is real and I do agree with you on that. This is what we call the Swiss cheese effect, the holes perfectly aligned, and the chain of events occurred. Whether the seat was not moved back all the way the food tray was in a very particular position, there’s so many factors here that basically could’ve happened. My only observation is from the mechanical functionality of the chair itself. And that was the primary purpose. I wanted to point out the cut out switch.
Just started this video, I am only a minute in, where Stig talks about how he is assigned a GATE, and whatever aircraft is at that gate, he works on, I have to say, WOOOWWWWWW, he (you, if you are reading the comments, stig) makes it seem like he is a master of aircraft systems and procedures, from Airbus to Boeing, he makes it seem like he is a expert on each, Keep up the good work Stig!!!!!
I am by no means an expert, I just know how to access proper technical manuals, and I have experience within my field of work. After 25 years of fixing airplanes, it becomes second nature, just like breathing.
I think he is the master
Stig, the armored vehichle is a JLTV or Joint Light Tactical Vehicle made by Oshkosh. It is the replacement of the HUMVEE in the US Army. Love the content, always learning something new.
Oh finally, somebody told me what it is, thank you so much Lancer.
@@StigAviationIf you ever travel here to Oshkosh for the annual EAA AirVenture, at the end of July you will see parking lots full of them, and all the other trucks Oshkosh makes here. Check out Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, WI on Google maps, they are parked all around the airport.
Know its a good day when stig uploads. Cheers stig
Amen.
Well said, Lock. 💛 🙏🏽
Thank you Lock. 🤙
I would love to say I agree. But my day hasn’t been very good. That was until I saw that Stig uploaded
What's going on Stig with M & R? Seems like more M & R screwups than you can shake a stick at - wheels falling off, lo lube oil pressure, door plugs unsecured... you name it. CareIessness? What?
That tug operator was probably a farm boy who learned how to drive a tractor and back up a trailer years before he could legally drive a car. I love your videos- line mechanics are the best!
He did a fantastic job, amazing pushback skills
@@StigAviation I hope you bought him a coffee.
Always gotta watch the Stig shift immediately!
I appreciate you
It's cool seeing seeing the older eras blending into the current. When I was around 15 I spent a week with British Airways engineering courtesy of my dad and high school work experience. Got to see the coal burners, clockwork and the 400's, 767's and 777's all in one week. Did I high power engine run on a clockwork which was one of the coolest things I've ever done in my whole life!! You're vids are just getting better and better. They're actually becoming a bit of an addiction now, in the best possible sense of the word. Seriously, thank you Stig.
Thank you Kevin for being here and enjoying it. I’m glad you got to experience that with BA engineering 👌
Using the word enjoy doesn't even come close!!
Your upbeat attitude is infectious. Thanks for another upload :) very jealous you get to work intimately with so many aircraft 😊
It’s my pleasure and I am very happy that you were here to enjoy the adventures with me
Seeing the back of that circuit breaker panel makes my obsessive compulsive brain so happy! Thanks for another great video Stig!
Me too 🤣🤣🤣
Stig is back!!!! Time to work and listen to some awesome content!! Woohoo!! 😊🥳✈️
Enjoy!
@@StigAviation I always do!! You always make it fun to watch!
For what it’s worth, pilots can cross their legs with their seats slid further back. If the seat were to start to move, the pilot’s leg would already be right by the column and the crossed foot could get pinned under the control wheel really quick. I’m on the Bus though so no control column for me.😀
You get a lovely table and eat like a civilized human being 😆
@@StigAviation Indeed 🍽️☕️😂
I'm amazed that those expensive cars sit out on the ramp with windows down. You also had a very polite way of calling bullshit on the official seat story.
I’m also amazed that they leave it out in the open, but I’m not responsible for those vehicles. I’m just glad I can share them with you.
Hands down the best aviation content available.
Thank you very much
"GOOD JET" > Loving it!
As well as me loving people who love what they do: Stay safe and keep your great videos coming! ❤
Thank you! Will do!
You guys really save the most lives. You could be working on several aircraft servicing thousands of passengers a day. Your great.
Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate that
yeah the seat switch sounded weird to me, too. It moves so slowly and I couldn't figure out how they didn't notice it moving. And then didn't react to it. The blue car was a McLaren P1 GTR in Gulf livery. I can't believe those cars sit outside for any amount of time with the WINDOWS DOWN
I don’t know why they put them like that, but hey, that’s on them. I’m just glad I got to share it with you.
2:40 as a ramp agent you standing that close to the beacon and not moving stresses me the hell out
Don’t stress out Cody, the pilot just forgot to turn the Beacon off. The aircraft brakes were already set, and the aircraft was already chocked.
Always a joy to see you! Thank you so much for the great positive attitude and passion you show in each video. Thank you for replying. Taking time out of your daily schedule and replying is greatly appreciated! Stay safe man...........
Thank you so much Thomas and I appreciate you being here all the time and enjoying the adventures.
Stig, your videos are always fascinating and interesting. Very well done, my friend! Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you very much my good sir. I appreciate you being here.
man why is it that airports always have the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets
I guess the wide open spaces and most of them are by a body of water. And LAX has lots of smog … helps the sunset be more vibrant
@@StigAviation Your right i live in NY and HPN JFK and LGA always have some beautiful sunrise and sunsets huge ope land lol
i got to see the 777X-8 last month and it was so cool seeing all of the things you showed in your videos, like the cameras, brake wear, and the engine bits. it was a very cool experience it was my first time being next to a wide body before and it was slightly larger than the 777-300, and also the GE9X engines are so big that i cant even see inside of the engine if im next to it lol and shoutout to boeing for letting the people touch the plane and just in general getting close to the plane and seeing all that engineering they have put into it
Stig is cool. I hope he talks to Mentour pilot Petter to exchange ideas.
I still haven’t seen the 777x. Hopefully they will start flying those soon
Thanks for the stunning views of the 777 turning into the gate stig, as an aviation photographer I really do envy you getting those views😊, really interesting to see a brake change on the 777. What happens to the old assembly does it get refurbished or sent for recycling. I find it amazing what people lose in unusual places on an airplane and Stig you never ramble my friend I've learn so much from your videos which keeps the aviation flame alive in me when I'm busy in work and can't get to follow my passion. So thank you my friend and stay safe and keep the flame burning
The old assembly gets back to the overhaul facility where it will be basically overhauled for the lack of the better word. And then it will be back into circulation as a refurbished part.
@StigAviation Thanks Stig, I can't understand why Boeing don't fit brake fans like Airbus, surely this help prolong brake life. I suppose brake wear depends on how hard the pilot brakes the airplane on landing and how heavy the jet is
@@chrisnicholls8636 and the brake/disc material. some materials get hot and handle it well as braking performance doesn't degrade as badly as other materials when they get hot. Some cool naturally quicker also. Take three car examples : Disc. Ventilated Disc. Carbon disc. if you look at the material, it will be optimised for a specific brake friction pad material. drive a standard car with foot lightly resting on brake pedal, as though controlling speed down a very long hill (without engine braking).. at the bottom of the hill, you'll be pressing the pedal a lot harder to achieve stopping power than you would be pressing at the top of the hill. Brake fade and materials are tightly correlated. Also, a airplane driver :P really doesn't want or need to hit the brakes too hard. whiplash would be far too easy. and they have plenty of space. i thik they teach flyers to make a small action and wait for response before taking further action. some responses can take a lot more time than the brains want to wait for (albeit milliseconds). This phenomen actually makes pilots of bigger aeroplanes be mentally 'ahead' of the air vehicle far more readily. Judging braking distance is a breeze. They still need AutoBrake tho.. like cars still need ABS.
Your info about the air incidents is most informative. Mass media info is never to trusted! Also...I got a ThruNite TN12 Pro because you mentioned it, BEST light I've ever used, THANKS!!!
I am so happy you are enjoying it, that is a really good flashlight. Be careful not to leave it on too long. It does get very hot.
ThruNite makes the best flashlights!
Gotta' love your shows Stig. Keep em' coming and keep em' flying!
Thanks, will do! 🤙
Thank you so much for another enjoyable, fun, informative adventure! The notification for your video came out minutes before Airline Videos Live went live. I saved your video for my quiet time just before bed. Keep bringing us the planes - and those cool cars - ‘cause I sure love ‘em. Be safe out there.
I am very happy you enjoyed it, and I caught up with Kevin‘s videos later on myself. They are always fun to watch.
Another great video Stig.Enjoyed every minute! Thankyou👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Stig! As always, I love these videos, you’re such an inspiration for me to get into the airlines and getting some more inside knowledge in the aircraft! I know it’s a good day whenever you post! Keep it coming, greetings from Norway as usual!🇳🇴
Thank you so much and much love to Norway, cheers from LAX
It appears that clear air turbulence is becoming increasingly common these days. I'm curious if the aviation industry is readying itself for these turbulent times. Awesome videos, Stig! Keep up the excellent work!
I believe everything will be OK, turbulence is not that big of a factor. And thank you for watching.
Stig, another amazing video! With such a cool sunset at the end. Thank you for being a steward of the awesome world of aviation.
Many thanks!
Stig - short info about myself here after watching your videos.. I am on my way to AA as an FO this summer; however I am a Light Sport mechanic (LSRM-A), spent last 4 year turning wrenches and teaching (CFI also), but after watching your videos the last few months, I decided to use my time waiting for a class date to study for my A&P. I am happy to say that I passed my O&Ps and am now an official A&P so I thank you for the encouragement and motivation to get this done! Carry on!
That’s absolutely incredible that you did that. Just wow. What an achievement. I wish you nothing but success and I look forward to fixing what you fly. 🤙
Shan - sounds like you could be another Blancolirio in the making, airline FO and A&P. Juan's videos are so excellent due to that broad background. Keep it in mind! Best of luck to you.
Appreciate you Stig, wish you all the best for your career.
Thank you so much. I appreciate you and wish you all the best as well
Thanks for you video Stig. Excellent video and love to hear the airplanes. Looks beautiful in LA!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great episode, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Stig, that jet @ 16:06 with the ocean and wave paint job was at the Thomasville, GA airport a few weeks ago. Got some good pics of it. STUNNING paint job. love your content!!
She was a beauty for sure. Very unique
You have a gift. I’m always fascinated by your vids. Thank you.
So nice of you. Thank you 🙏
Love your videos! And that Porsche was a backdate car build that CSF radiators did around 2 years ago. It’s been around in some car shows here and there. That car sounds amazing in person.
That’s absolutely amazing, it was a beautiful design
Also I just woke up at 3am so I’m still tired I will come back later as usual and watch this
No problem 👌
LOL Stig at 34:20 I was almost going to mention the old tape on the end of the screwdriver trick, but I guess you already know it from an old retired aircraft mechanic I missed that stuff brother, but I get to relive it through your videos, and as far as days off, I was fortunate I worked at the factory in Long Beachso I had great days and worked on brand new aircraft so I did a lot of stuff line mechanics don’t do and I did a lot of stuff hanger mechanics didn’t do but in the end it was all the same take care of my friend
I’m glad it brought back Good memories Remy. Don’t worry I lived my life through the Hanger as well. It was fun, but I enjoyed the line now.
Love these videos. I am impressed you can find so much to show us. Learn new stuff every time.
And I’m just scratching the surface here, there’s so much more to talk about. Thank you for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Im not sure if you ever mentioned this but this tidbit is a fact that very few know about - So the word “hijack” comes from a method of alerting ground control, by quickly entering on the pilots keypad…” H, I, J, K “
I did not know that, that’s very interesting, I just always thought they will use the transponder code for such events. 7500
Great work as usual Stig !
Thank you! Cheers!
You are a very clever person who loves your job, i loved my job before i retired.
I do love this job very much
This is such a beautiful video!! (As always :)) Its so nice watching your vids while doing homework, theyre so chill and relaxing and so nicely edited and you always learn something from it :D Please keep doing what youre doing this channel is such a hidden gem
Thank you so much!! I’m very happy you enjoyed it
Love seeing you work on the widebodies! Keep it up stig
Thanks! Will do!
Great show Stig.😊
Glad you enjoyed it
That McLaren P1 looks like one of six Lanzante P1 GTR-18s. Cool spot, thank you for the vid!
Glad you enjoyed it
That tug ride along was amazing! What a beautiful, skilled push back and perspective us normies don't get to appreciate. Wow - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for your technical insight into the 787 pilot's power seat controller and cutoff switch.
My pleasure
Love your videos man! I'm an automotive engineer and this stuff amazes me! also the unknown Porsche from your vid a few weeks back was a singer, its a newish project Based in California and that car may have come from/be going to my team here in England 😁
Glad you enjoyed it Patrick and thank you for the information on the Porsche
Awesome video man I really enjoy watching these. I've always been fascinated with planes. Now I know a lot about how they work. Thank You!
Glad you like them and learned something new 👍
Wow 😲 I've always given props to the Maintenance guys, especially keeping our retros in the skies - even more so after watching this.
New sub here 🙋🏾♀️
Thank you so much and I appreciate you being here
Thank you for perspective into the inadvertent seat movement incident.
My pleasure
love these vids! thanks for sharing, especially the facts about what happens on airplanes...the media loves to spread fear instead of facts.
I’m glad I could help spread correct information
@@StigAviation also thanks for sharing all the exotic and rare cars...being a huge car guy its awesome to see some stuff that isnt just the big names or you hear about at barrett jackson.
I ate, I put my boxers in the dryer and vacuumed my room while watching this, nice routine tbh. My toxic trait is thinking I can land one of this if I’m called to the cockpit.
Glad you are enjoying the videos and landing would definitely be a challenge, but it’s doable
@@StigAviation oh maaaaan, it sounds like you don’t trust me.
Stig, thank you for your great videos. I have press the buttons on the seats alots of the time. Stay safe.
Thank you 🙏
Glad you commented on the 787 seat because to me it just doesn't make sense when it came to the LATAM incident as for the ALASKAN 737 incident, it wasnt the cargo door that blew out it was 1 of the over wing exits that separated, just lucky no-one was sitting on one of the over wing seats with no seat belt on otherwise it may have been a whole lot worse keep up the good work loving your TH-cam content
The 737 door blowout is a different incident, the one I’m talking about recently occurred again with an Alaska 737, the aircraft was reportedly landed with the open cargo door. That’s a separate incident my friend.
What a beautiful ride at 22:40 he took it on the line truely like a boss! such an amazing moment to watch, thank you so much Stig!
I have a couple of questions if you don't mind, can you show us how does the tug turn and turn the nose wheel with it? a great piece of engineering. and what was that fluid leaking at 25:01?
Thank you so much for these amazing moments!
I have older videos that show the tug and now turning. I’ll try to catch that on the next one again. And the fluid is water being dumped from the forward potable water drain
I was going to ask about the fluid leak too…. You definitely know your stuff! Rock on mate!
Thanks for bringing along and showing us what you do!
My pleasure!
Hey Stig, what’s up buddy. As always awesome 😎 videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. Always look forward to hearing from you. I like when you talk about the Engines. I have definitely learned a lot from you. Thank you again. Take care and God bless.
Thank you so much Josh and I appreciate you being here
Hi stig, love your maintenance vids, according to you
Which planes are easier to service/maintain: Boeing or airbus?
Pretty much all are easy but as far as maintenance friendly aircraft. I’ll give that to Airbus.
Edit: for Dual Ghia and 911
That McLaren Senna GTR was incredible 😍
The other car was a Dual Ghia. Super rare American care made from 56-58 or 59 I don’t remember. Very low production very nice vehicles. As for that 911, it’s a custom built 911 as well like the one from a few weeks ago but just a different company. They modify everything and upgrade it after tearing it down to a bare chassis. Amazing process for bespoke 911’s
Thank you so much. I appreciate all this beautiful information John.
@@StigAviation of course sir!! I always appreciate your uploads. They're fun to watch and full of information. Keep up the amazing work!
I always love watching stig shifts always great videos love everyone of them always love seeing the planes and the super nice cars
Thank you so much, I’m glad you’re enjoying it
Gives a new meaning to cargo on an aircraft cars go every where in a cargo plane lol
Good point
All good now...🤘🤘
Awesome 👍
I have not seen the video yet but I know it will be amazing. Keep up the great job Stig it is extremely appreciated.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Oh my, you are so upbeat and positive. Thank you so much for all that you do to make our travels in the air safer. I feel so good knowing you are doing this job, your amazing job and yes, I mean amazing job. You rock!!!!! Seriously, thank you for being you. 😊
Thank you so much for the beautiful words. I really appreciate you.
Seriously, you are an amazing hard working upbeat kind of guy and I recognize it and honor it. You are worthy!!!!!
A McLaren P1 GTR-18 👀
Cargo truly never disappoints
It never has and never will. Absolutely love going there to check out the fancy rides
Another great video! I have been learning a lot of cool stuff about these beautiful flying machines. Most of all I have learned that the media doesn't no crap about planes. Keep them coming 😀
Thank you so much Steve
these videos are so interesting to watch, my dad's a mechanic! he works on diesel trucks but they still remind me of when i got to visit him at work as a kid lol
I’m very happy you’re enjoying them, definitely learn from your dad.

Message me on Instagram, I’ll send you a better picture
@@StigAviationokay what’s your name
On instagram is it the same as your yt
@@StigAviation I just realised that I deleted instagram because I didn’t have enough storage and now my phone doesn’t have enough storage to download it back🤦♂️
Agreed! Excellent job on the pushback! Excellent depth perception.
Thank you kindly!
Stig, keeping the camera rolling longer to capture the GE90 and later the 321Neo engine spooling down…absolutely incredible! I sat mesmerized in front of my TV, had to rewind multiple times with the volume way up, I just couldn’t get enough! It’s the sweetest sound to my to avgeek ears, words cannot describe. Thank you Sir, and Charlie Mike.
V/R
If you have really good speakers and subwoofers, you can actually feel the ground shake. 👌 glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the adventure Kant wait for the next one
You bet!
I'm glad that I came to this channel. I also work in avaition maintenance. It's interesting to see the airline side of it. I wish that I could document my daily adventures like you. Good job!
Thank you very much and I appreciate you being here.
That porsche 930 was a treat to see! one of my favorite body styles from that era, plus the gr yaris always tickles a fancy for me, that thing is a special type of cool. Loving all the content keep up the great work!
I was very fortunate to see it and I’m glad you enjoyed it as well. Thank you, Ben.
I love listening to your endless ramblings. Can't beat a Stig shift. Keep it going.
Glad you enjoy it!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel !!!
Thank you so much!!
Gotta love when a new oil cap makes your day. Thanks for sharing 🤙
Glad you enjoyed it, and that oil cap was pretty awesome. The things that make me happy.😅
Due diligence. Good job Stig! As per usual. I wish I had you as a mechanic on my rig. Appreciate your professionalism hombre.
👍
Thank you so much for your kind words my friend, it means a lot to me
Those circuit breakers, wow.. another great video! the tow truck ride was fun.
Glad you enjoyed
WOW, what an adventure to get that broken screen ha? Awww, thank you for getting a close up of that beacon while flashing. Your so kind! 🥰Yeah, some stories in aviation incidents don't make sense, I agree. I don't understand why that one guy did a gear up landing, if he couldn't get hydraulics to put the gear down, why didn't he pull the manual spring loaded gear release red levers? But I like them fancy pilot chairs! Beautiful cars as always too. The APU start was interesting, when you flipped that switch, there was kind of an aggressive engagement, cool. The tug driver drives better then people drive cars today! Look at those magnificent engines spool up. Seeing you surprised at the new oil cap design on the A321 made me smile so much, I am happy along with you Stig! Got the hand sanitizer out of a weird place for it to be in the first place, Stig for the win! I appreciate a Stig taxy any day. Time to replace the carbon ceramic breaks yessir! Thank you Stig, you brighten my day buddy. ❤
Thank you so much and I’m very happy that you enjoyed this wonderful adventure
Very interesting your knowledge of aircraft maintenance is immense and explained so passengers like myself can understand, living England, UK i don't think ground staff would be able to film like you do, keep the videos coming Stig as they are great.
Many thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it Brian
Love the start up sound of any engine, beautiful video!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for another awesome video!
My pleasure
Such a beautiful and perfectly executed push back. The plane actually wet itself!!! LOL
Definitely a professional pushback, and the water was simply coming from the forward, potable water port
So cool to see behind the breaker panel! Thanks, Stig!
Glad you liked it!
That tug driver was smooth with it!! When I was a ramp ape, all of our pushbacks were straight with exception of one gate where we had to do some minor turning.
I’ve seen some amazing pushbacks, especially in tight places. As long as you don’t hit anything, and close enough to the line, then you’re good to go.
Love these videos, I work in dispatch for a regional and my dad is in Mx for envoy and I love aviation keep these videos up!
Thank you Jake. I appreciate you being here
I just discovered your channel recently and it’s really cool to see all the insights that go into the maintenance on these aircrafts. As soon as I saw that McLaren P1 GTR in the thumbnail I had to click. That thing is absolutely stunning. That car is worth around $3 million and it’s not even road legal
It’s a pleasure to have you here thank you so much for partaking in this adventure. If you see anything interesting don’t hesitate to ask questions. And that McLaren is a total beauty, thank you for letting me know how much it costs. I didn’t know that.
That McLaren is one of six being built, used one going for 2.5 million. Love your channel!!!!
That’s amazing. And thank you.
THXS FOR THE PUSHBACK,BEEN RETIRED FROM AA MIA 3.5 YRS NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS
Always an adventure 🤙
Love these videos
Thank you Lorenzo.
When you were talking about the tugs crossing I knew you were to say thats the unemployment line a friend told me that I'd love to have a job in any aviation job I worked at a rental car company right across the road from runway 7 loved watching them land and loved the sound they made .thats closest il ever get it remember getting off work driving down the road along runway 7 and seeing the lights of the planes coming in for a landing awsome .i remember in the early 90s before Dia in used to close to Stapleton airport there was a road you could pull off and watch the planes land right over you so cool .i remember the transtion when they moved equipment from Stapleton to dia .i always has the passion but wasnt blessed with the brains .
Joe, I would like to correct you on this, you are blessed with the brains because you are here listening to all of this. You are smart and you know what you’re talking about, don’t let anything or anybody tell you that you’re not.
Another crazy good vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love how you explain the parts that might not even be that interesting. There's the idea that everyone probably knows which is along the line of you design something with redundancy because the main thing can and will fail at some point. Like, there probably isn't that much debris in the oil and it probably takes months for it to build up to where it needs servicing (at a guess), but it's still something you have to consider... you can't just hope for the best and assume it will stay clean forever
And you’re absolutely correct, that’s why they build them like that.
Abolutely amazing .. continue Stig
