Prayers for comfort and peace to the families of the technicians lost, and to the Delta family. Total bummer… Thank you for your respectful remarks, Stig.
Your videos make people understand what happens when a plane comes on the ramp. The mechanics immediately get to work, inspecting and servicing. Your work matters and is very important. Respect for that, mate.
Split rims have caused a lot of injuries and loss of life over the years. Tire cages were developed just to work on them. So sad to hear of yet another death possibly caused by such a tire assembly. You covered it perfectly Stig.
As usual, loved your video,but I read about the accident at Delta in Atlanta. My deepest sympathies, Stig, on the loss of your colleagues. I am so sorry. It brought to mind all you do and all of the fantastic content you bring us aviation enthusiasts. You always stress safety, and you’re so good at what you do that you make it look effortless - but it’s not. I’m sure that your senses are constantly on patrol, making sure that you and your co workers are safe. I want to thank you so much for what you bring to us. I never want to lose sight of the fact that there are inherent dangers in what you do. I’m thankful that at the end of each day, you can go home. Take care, be safe.
Sorry I comment as I watch. That shot of the 777 turning in and the lighting from the sun on those spinners is almost hypnotic. No talking, no music, no anything. Just a beautiful visual and sound. The lighting was perfect!!!! The tiny humans you can see in the cockpit that are in charge of this massive marvel.. That whole shot is perfect from beginning to end.. Absolutely beautiful!!.
I've realized that you look at and feel that these aircraft are living breathing beings. In a sense, they absolutely are.. They require less maintenance and sweet talking than humans, but if you take care of them, they will absolutely take care of you.. I love it.
Thanks for bringing awareness to the situation at the delta tire shop. As an AMT at delta we are grieving from the sad event Your videos are always a joy stig.
Hey Stig, first of all thank you for your channel. I am a huge military and commercial avaition enthusisast. I do a lot of flight simming at home and its so fun to watch you work on these complex machines. I am a 35 year automotive technician so I greatly respect your profession. It was so sad to hear about the accident at Delta. I too know what its like to work in an environment that is trying to kill you. Im sure your environment is much more dangerous than mine. Stay safe and keep those videos coming. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for the kind words Chris, safety always number one when it comes to our line of work, we’re both mechanics, and we both know the dangers.
Thanks for the video Stig. Thanks for the kind words regarding the Delta incident. On topic: it is truly amazing how reliable these birds are especially given how complicated they are.
Just landed and got to my hotel room and have a Stig video to watch, feeling thankful. Thank you for doing what you do so us pilots can do what we love.
Every video you make, you give us such a heartfelt look into your soul and your character. Even without seeing your expressions, your narration is so full of life and genuine, authentic expression... I can tell you have such a big heart and so much love for your jobs, the airplanes and passengers, and your fellow colleagues. Thank you so much for sharing with us, Stig. The Delta incident is heartbreaking and my thoughts go out to the families and all of the teams who worked beside them. You calling out your bee "helper" was hilarious. Keep being you, Stig. 💛💛
Stig has arrived with a little swagger in his step, yes we got coffee too! The APU was slow to wake up, because it was yawning. You know the breaks were hot if the fans were on. I love the look of the CFM1-Leap engines, I love that stripe and blade curve! Truly beautiful cars, I want them all lol. The fidget spinner must spin, no-go item of course hehe. Awww Stig, my friend, I'm deeply sorry to hear about this news, please know that I hold you guys close to my heart, & I feel the same way as you. 🫂 You work very hard, maintaining planes to keep people safe, you need the day off, Love u Stig, wishing you all the best! ♥
I have a classmate from junior high who served his conscripted time in the Swedish armed forces as a mechanic in the Air Force 18-19 years young. He experienced a similar tyre explosion accident and survived with some luck. Some of his injuries were incurable and he was marked for life but he managed to have a worklife career anyway. I think his accident bears some similarity to the accident referred in the video. The shop received a wheel fully inflated and no one checked the pressure before dismantling.
Thank you for this week’s Stig Shift. I really appreciate your heartfelt explanation of the horrible accident that happened to the Delta aircraft maintenance technicians. I’m sure a hard reminder of the inherent danger working around aircraft and the importance of adhering to safety protocols. Thanks for these videos helps complete our week and the black Batmobile, I mean Bugatti that’s awesome.
Stig, Thank you for sharing with us your heartfelt words on the incident in Atlanta. The emotion in your voice tells of the love you have for your colleagues and work. 😢
My deepest condolences to all the ground technicians out there. You guys risk your lives day in and day out to ensure we get to fly in the knowledge we’re in safe hands. Not all heroes wear capes… many wear high vis vests, hard hats and boots. God bless you all. Thank you for your service. 🙏🏻
Love the fan blades on the LEAP. Those fans on the wheel hubs ! Whoa ! I was hoping to see what you thought about the accident with the tire incident. Tires under those pressures are to be respected.
No matter what I have going on it's always great to see your uploads and they are such a great watch. Please don't overwork yourself and remember that if you ever need to take a break from uploading or in general this community you have built isn't going anywhere. Very few creators I know upload long form content this regularly.
That’s a very good recommendation, I’ll see how it goes and if it’s a bit overwhelming, I might cut back on one video every two weeks. Thank you so much for thinking about my well-being.
Those Porsches were all Turbos going back to Germany after the event at Pebble Beach. The Turbo 50 is a special edition, limited numbers only, which was introduced at Pebble Beach for the 50th anniversary of the Porsche Turbo. The Panameras were the new GTS’s.
I pray for the families of those technicians also. I can absolutely understand your feelings on this being it hits close to home for you. I’ve had the same feelings when something similar happened in my industry. Once again it gives me an appreciation of what you and all of your brothers and sisters in aircraft maintenance do to keep the public flying safely. More specifically for me, keeping my family and me safe. I will always remind this close to me that when delays happen, be patient, there is a good reason, and that reason is to keep us safe! Thank you Stig for your contribution to airline safety, and my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your brothers in aviation. ❤️
Damn Stig.. As I said before I am horrible and irritating because I comment as I watch.. I am sorry I spent so much time going on about cars and the beauty of these beautiful ladies of the sky and had not made it to the bad news.. I am sorry.. As you said, it's your brethren. I am a retired firefighter and I completely understand.. Does not matter where they are or if you ever meet them.. They are doing the same work day after day in the interest of keeping fellow human beings and families safe, and most do not understand the true risk of what you do every day.. I am sorry.. My thoughts and prayers are for them and their families, including their professional families. Same as you!!. Be safe my distant brother. 😔
Humbling, $tig@ Today's slowly rises an to lost knowledge!⚛️ Had the privilege in a good way enough!🏆💯 Trying to fathom a aircraft maintenance that big just boggles my mind.
What an amazing job you all do. Every flight I've taken to Australia (20hrs in flight total) I'm still amazed at how these things fly for so long. Thank you for what you do and for the channel🤘
Thank you so much for being here and enjoying the videos, and yes, it’s absolutely amazing how these machines can continuously run without an issue. amazing engineering
It’s a very special treat to watch you Stig, I like to save your videos for quiet times when 100 percent attention is available! It is interesting about the split rims, I didn’t know what it meant but I think understand now thanks to you 😊
I love your clips, reminds me of my training days when I was very apprehensive about the technical side of aviation. I had one foot in the hangar all the time and became friends with our Chief Engineer who oftentimes let me watch him and his team work. That alleviated my apprehension and made me understand the aircraft and its condition better. You remind me a lot of my technician friend. Thank You!
Stig as always , a great video. I have another tour around the rescue helicopter base this week and it's fascinating seeing the level of detail and accountability around service and maintenance. Gives me reassurance for when I ever need to get on one for work. Stay safe
I flew N742PS back in 2017.😂 From DEN back to LAX, while approaching the flight deck initiated a go-around. Still remember vividly. Thank you for taking care of these birds and all the dedicated members in the industry to keep everyone safe.
When my father was in the Air Force he worked in maintenance. He actually maintained the machines and generators that airline mechanics and flight line mechanics use to keep the planes flying. He explained to me the usual procedures and shop conditions when a tire is worked on. It’s a very sad a tragic thing that happened and prayers to the families of one who were lost and injured.
When i see yours videos, i don't see it like an entertainment, But like a real job in a noisy and specific environnement. Sometime it's look easy and sometimes it's will be dangerous. Sad day for the airport technician community. I hope, you enjoy your vacation un Miami. Encore une excellente vidéo Monsieur Stig.
@22:00 while most airlines require use of auto brakes on landing, they’re not inherently always on. I’ve worked for an airline where we frequently didn’t use the auto brakes. And even now, I like to kick them off around 100kts to control my runway exit strategy. That being said, the auto brakes are far better for brake wear. They’re much more even and consistent than any pilot can do.
Sorry to hear about your Delta colleagues, also sad that it’s Affected you in such a bad way. Being sensitive and being kind in general is what makes us good people. I know you are just by watching all your videos you actually care and have such a love for your career. I as a passenger who has flown literally hundreds of times. But knowing there are people like you keeping those beautiful planes safe. Puts more faith in general. So Mr Stig thank you for being you thank you for your care love and your ability’s in being an aircraft technician. Chin up my friend. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about that delta tragedy you did it with pure love and sensitivity. And you have no need to apologise for being sensitive and caring. God bless you. My tech friend. We ( your subs ) luv ye. 😢
Well said Stig! Our prayers go out to the families of the technicians who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Keep up your great work and please stay safe out there brother!
Great video as always. Well said about the Delta employees. It’s absolutely tragic. Like you said, hopefully it results in new safety procedures. Glad you took some time for yourself, have to do it now days, especially when we get to enjoy the benefits (think I’ve been to Florida 12 times this year lol). Looking forward to your next one!
Hey Stig, your video was amazing just like all of yours. All my prayers for the families of the two delta employees and a healthy a smooth recovery for the seriously injured. I am so sorry for the loss of fellow mechanics. 🙏 No worries for not posting a long video, you deserve a trip after all you hard work. I hope you have fun!
I never thought I'd see Fiu around here!!. Fiu was the official mascot of the Pan American Games that were held here in Santiago last year 🦤. Today, Fiu is a Chilean cultural icon. There are plushies, backpacks, postcards and there were even designs of him on the cards of Santiago's public transport system. He even has an official account on Instagram 😂. I'm glad you liked the special livery from LATAM. 😁 Congratulations on your work and dedication. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
My condolences to our fellow engineers from Delta that were killed and injured, so sad. It could happen to any of us for a multitude of reasons. Your comments are very measured and appropriate. Good to see you get a relaxing break from work. Another good video.
Tragic loss of life! Extremely heartbreaking! Prayers for the families! Let's hope the union presence and more safety measures will be implemented after this horrific accident!
Just driving engagement. As the video progresses, maybe ill have something nire interesting to say Edit: i used to work around explosives at a previous job. Always assume anything that can explode, whether that's chemical potential energy or air pressure or voltage wants to kill you and everyone around you. Never assume that it's been disarmed or deflated or has exploded as much as its going to, because the second you start not respecting that danger, start forgetting that it can kill you, it will. (This also applies to really any and all other hazardous situations and operations, but stuff that can explode is at the top of that list). At least it will explode fast enough that hopefully won't know whats happening before it kills you, at least in the general case
Love the videos as always and how informative they are. Just started power plant and just starting to disassemble a reciprocating engines. Your videos keep me motivated to keep pushing.✈️
Hey Stig, I’m just finishing AMT school and about to wrap up my O&Ps for my powerplant rating, already have a couple jobs lined up.. just saying for context..I know the dangers of tire duty from my studies but the news from Delta was very disturbing because it’s such a routine thing I’ll be doing as well and would love to hear from a pro such as yourself on what you think happened or and how it could have been prevented because I know how seriously you take this job and I am as well! I really just want to be safe and do the job right and I see you as a good example of how that is done, and I know I’m not the only one! Anyways, RIP to those who lost their life in that incident and thanks for all of the amazing work you do and for sharing it with everyone, you are awesome! Seriously! 👑👑👑💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
First of all, I wanna say congratulations, you are about to embark on a very incredible journey, a very difficult journey is coming to an end, which is your school. Second of all the job is not hard as long as you follow the rules and regulations in the safety standards, which will be taught to you. I have no doubt in my mind that you’re going to be a fantastic technician, if you love Aviation, and you are very enthusiastic about this type of work, then you were going to do great. Always keep in mind the safety factor, I always tell you and everyone else that this is one of the most dangerous jobs out there, but if you follow the rules, then you will walk away safe and sound. And you will also have the pride of knowing that you dispatch safe and airworthy aircraft.
@@StigAviation copy that brother! I still wanna know what you think happened bc everyone im asking isn’t really thinking it could happen to them but I understand if you don’t wanna get too close, thanks for your time, Stig Shift!
First time I flew into John Wayne in a 757 and we didn't use thrust reversers. I thought we were DEAD lol. Turns out the 757 and 767 have REALLY good brakes. Also much love for the 757, my absolute favorite ride hands down. Such a corvette.
In many ways aircraft are way more complicated than cars but the every day issues are SO simple & easy to fix. I had customers that needed a fuel sending unit replaced & they were told to return with their tank low as possible, so what did they do… come back with a full tank. My dealer had no way of emptying tanks so we had to fish a hose down the filler trying to get past bends & so forth so we could use our mouth to hopefully start a siphon. In the old days when speedometers had mechanical cables & they got noisy you had to manipulate your hand behind the cluster while upside down cutting your hand on metal trying to pop the clip to remove the cable you could hopefully fish out to gain access to remove the core so you could lube it. Then the reverse to reinstall. Planes are so much easier!!
Ever want to go to Germany for a week or two, Let me know. Ive got you. 😊 Also the other 911 with the 74 on the door is a special edition to commemorate 50 years of the 911.. The next plane you show coming in, the Trip 7 that will be going back to London is the same AA I flew from Dallas to London. Thats fantastic. I love it.. Then the Airbus for British Airways from London to Munich was a complete Turd.. It was a very haggard and rode hard plane and it was obvious. I will always give major credit to BA on my way home. I sliced my foot open during Fasching in Bavaria and it got infected to the point that in Biberach they wanted to amputate. My German friend pulled my IV and I escaped.. The attendant for BA once she found out I was traveling alone and could see how much pain I was in, about an hour after leaving London she took me through the black curtains to first class where I had a bed. Told me anything i needed and everything on the first class menu I wanted I could have as if I paid almost 9 grand for the seat that made into a bed. She said they would check on me every half hour. I did not order anything whatsoever. I was incredibly thankful that they went above and beyond and moved me to a bed. I slept for 8 hours and that was worth a million to me at that time. So BA did right by me and I truly appreciated it. AA in the way over to Europe was great as well but I do not doubt they would have done the same.. Ok done rambling. Thank you Stig!!!
Oddly enough I watched stig and learned about the Turbo50 here first... But here is the email they sent out Stig: " There are countless ways to say fast. In 1974, we found the fastest. In a technical advancement that changed the sports car world, in 1974 Porsche introduced the first production turbo engine as part of the 911 lineup. That car’s now famous “whale tail”, a nod not just to form but also to function, a design rooted in aesthetics and physics that offered an iconic companion to the exhilarating power of its revolutionary engine. Fifty years on, the Turbo variant has become a brand in its own right, proving with every iteration that the dream of a 911 could be taken even further. And to celebrate that remarkable first drive: a 50th Anniversary 911 Turbo, limited to just 1,974 units. As inherently special as every Turbo model is, this Anniversary model - a brilliant mix of heritage cues along with the cutting-edge design and performance of the 2025 911 Turbo S - will be, dare we say, turbocharged in special. A 50th Anniversary badge on the rear deck and “Turbo 50” stitched in the headrests and adorned on the door sills call out the tribute, while a dashboard plaque announcing the production number certifies each car’s rare place within the Porsche world. MacKenzie Tartan upholstery on the door panels and seat centers draws a bold line to the car’s iconic lineage. Touches of Turbonite, a first for any 911, signal the exclusive club to which this car belongs. It's a car that inspires imaginations, including that of a watchmaker. And so, a Turbo 50 timepiece, itself a limited edition, is available only to owners of this once-in-a-lifetime sports car. Due in late 2024, the 911 Turbo 50 Years is available to order now. A historic moment for a car that made history."
When I was a full time flight instructor, I would teach my students about the FARs and pull out the paper book and explain to them in detail about why they have to follow them. I also used the exact same quote as it was taught to me. "The regs are written in blood for a reason."
I have fueled countless A319's with "XF" on the tail number and always wondered why there were a few with XF, or where those planes might have come from. Now I know, Frontier. You learn something new every day!
I really love watching your videos. I’m only a flight sim pilot and I fly the 737 most of the time and I was hoping you were going to mention something about that accident in Atlanta. I’m very sorry of the loss of your fellow colleagues in the same field that you work in ,you did a really good job sharing your feelings about it .
I’m an electrician by trade. I can’t stress enough to the younger people coming into my trade. Safety is first. You come to work, your family is expecting you home at the end of your day/ shift. Prayers go out to those techs families.
Safety always number one, safety for yourself safety for your coworkers safety for the environment that you are working in no matter what you do. We all wanna go back home and kiss our wives and hug our children at the end of the day. Follow the rules and you’ll make it back home alive.
im doing my easa aircraft maintenance course, i always watch these videos for encouragement and hope to have the career that you do, thanks for the videos friend
Heck yes! Decided to work this evening, unloading my trailer and having some weekly STIG time! I truly appreciate you mentioning the Delta maintenance techs and trying to explain what happened in your view. Prayers to those employees and their families. I do have a question about documentation. Whenever you add oil, hydro fluid, whatever else, is their a log for that aircraft that you have to fill out as to what was added?
All of our logbook have turned digital, so if any kind of fluid is added to the aircraft, we generate a electronic log page and submit any kind of maintenance being done. My apologies on the late response.
Condolences to the friends, families and colleagues of those lost. First thing I thought of when I saw the news was "Oh crap I hope that wasn't Stig's crew" before seeing it was not at LAX. For those interested in aviation Juan Browne's (who is an FO on the 777) excellent blancolrio channel is worth checking out when it comes to info about accident/incidents.
He is an amazing man and i respect him and his dedication to the aviation community. His opinions are flight based mine are maintenance based. Together we bring knowledge to the whole aviation community.
Unfortunately I can’t comment in a positive way. Wife just came off of dialysis and we are now dealing with insulin and trying to keep her healthy. All of my respect and fondness for all that you do maybe a better comment on the next one
I hope your wife gets well soon, i’m wishing you and her nothing but health and love. My apologies on the late response, I’m trying to catch up with the comments.
@@StigAviation she is improving every day by leaps and bounds! I thank you sir it has been a long road but they found the cause and the ailments are under control
Appreciate your comments on the horrific Delta incident even when it hits home so close, such an unfortunate event, hopefully it never happens again. It's interesting with all the sophisticated systems on an airplane there is still the simple little black peg to see ice buildup. Must of originally been from the fly by the seat of your pants days.
I have a boring question about the thrust reverser, are the red lockout tags/pins something that stays in the engine until it's fixed? 😅😅 I'm struggling on how to ask the question, without inadvertently freaking out new flyers... Anyway, I'm assuming that they stay in place until the aircraft arrives to a location that has the parts and slotted time for it to be repaired... I love learning, my brain is like a sponge, although I have probably forgotten more things than most people would ever learn. I look forward to seeing your videos every week. Love it all Stig, Thank You!!!!✈🛩🛫🛬
That’s correct, the lockout pins are going to be there until the issue is fixed. But that’s not the only thing that’s locking it out, we also lock it hydraulically from the power control unit.
Gooood morning Stig! I noticed a lot of the time in Cargo the cars are secured in/with Cargolux equipment. Is this because Cargolux has given them equipment in some sort of lease/deal? Anyway, sick Pagani!
Hey Stig...that RollsRoyce has a registration number from Panvel, Maharashtra State, near Bombay !! Probably belongs to an erstwhile Maharaja !!! They always display at Pebble Beach as the sticker says ... ❤
@@StigAviation They were...before the British came and took away their kingdoms... Then, some years after independance, even their privy purses were stopped by the govt. Some even slept at railway stations, like a Maharani (female) ... Most of their palaces are converted ti luxury hotels now. They and their royal cars are always INVITED to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance !!
@ 5:46, it's interesting how perception change over time. The first time I saw an A320/21 neo I thought the engines looked huge. Now they dont look that big and the ceo engines instead looks very small.
I retired after a 40 year career as a heavy transport aircraft mechanic. I also dod light aircraft maintenance on my weekends. So I know what you are showing so far. I retired 11 years ago, so I'm sure some things have changed, but I think I could learn all the new stuff. BTW the Huarye is made by Pagani of Italy.
Our profession is so interesting that even though we have years upon years of experience, the second we step foot on the flight line, we are back in school again and every day is a chance to learn something new. I’ve been doing this for 25 years and I’m still a student of Aviation and forever will be.
Prayers for comfort and peace to the families of the technicians lost, and to the Delta family. Total bummer… Thank you for your respectful remarks, Stig.
@@BabyJake426 peace on to those who are not here anymore. May they rest in peace in Valhalla forever.
Always tell them you love them even when you don’t. You just never know. Anger is temporary. Love is eternal.

Short haul aircraft are only maintained at night, long haul every time they come in.
Split rims have caused a lot of injuries and loss of life over the years. Tire cages were developed just to work on them. So sad to hear of yet another death possibly caused by such a tire assembly. You covered it perfectly Stig.

I was hoping to see what you thought about the accident with the tire incident. Tires under those pressures are to be respected.
Always respect your environment.
No matter what I have going on it's always great to see your uploads and they are such a great watch. Please don't overwork yourself and remember that if you ever need to take a break from uploading or in general this community you have built isn't going anywhere. Very few creators I know upload long form content this regularly.
That’s a very good recommendation, I’ll see how it goes and if it’s a bit overwhelming, I might cut back on one video every two weeks. Thank you so much for thinking about my well-being.
Those Porsches were all Turbos going back to Germany after the event at Pebble Beach. The Turbo 50 is a special edition, limited numbers only, which was introduced at Pebble Beach for the 50th anniversary of the Porsche Turbo. The Panameras were the new GTS’s.
They’re such beautiful machines
I pray for the families of those technicians also. I can absolutely understand your feelings on this being it hits close to home for you. I’ve had the same feelings when something similar happened in my industry.
Once again it gives me an appreciation of what you and all of your brothers and sisters in aircraft maintenance do to keep the public flying safely. More specifically for me, keeping my family and me safe. I will always remind this close to me that when delays happen, be patient, there is a good reason, and that reason is to keep us safe!
Thank you Stig for your contribution to airline safety, and my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your brothers in aviation. ❤️
Thank you so much for these beautiful words Jon. We live we learn.
Thank you for another amazing video. So happy you got to take a vacation. We all need time to decompress and enjoy life.
It was a much-needed break, I’ve been working nonstop. Thank you so much for watching.
Damn Stig.. As I said before I am horrible and irritating because I comment as I watch.. I am sorry I spent so much time going on about cars and the beauty of these beautiful ladies of the sky and had not made it to the bad news.. I am sorry.. As you said, it's your brethren. I am a retired firefighter and I completely understand.. Does not matter where they are or if you ever meet them.. They are doing the same work day after day in the interest of keeping fellow human beings and families safe, and most do not understand the true risk of what you do every day.. I am sorry.. My thoughts and prayers are for them and their families, including their professional families. Same as you!!. Be safe my distant brother. 😔
It’s never a easy thing to lose people, specially such a small industry as aircraft maintenance. Thank you so much for your kind words Robert.
Humbling, $tig@ Today's slowly rises an to lost knowledge!⚛️ Had the privilege in a good way enough!🏆💯 Trying to fathom a aircraft maintenance that big just boggles my mind.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the adventure
What an amazing job you all do. Every flight I've taken to Australia (20hrs in flight total) I'm still amazed at how these things fly for so long. Thank you for what you do and for the channel🤘
Thank you so much for being here and enjoying the videos, and yes, it’s absolutely amazing how these machines can continuously run without an issue. amazing engineering
It’s a very special treat to watch you Stig, I like to save your videos for quiet times when 100 percent attention is available! It is interesting about the split rims, I didn’t know what it meant but I think understand now thanks to you 😊
I’m glad you understood it, thank you for watching
The conversation with the wanna Bee 🐝 mechanic made me laugh the first time I saw the story and right now too! 😂
Ya that was an interesting encounter
@@StigAviation I thought it was interesting how it never moved! lol
I love your clips, reminds me of my training days when I was very apprehensive about the technical side of aviation. I had one foot in the hangar all the time and became friends with our Chief Engineer who oftentimes let me watch him and his team work. That alleviated my apprehension and made me understand the aircraft and its condition better. You remind me a lot of my technician friend. Thank You!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, and I’m glad you got to experience that as well
Stig as always , a great video. I have another tour around the rescue helicopter base this week and it's fascinating seeing the level of detail and accountability around service and maintenance. Gives me reassurance for when I ever need to get on one for work. Stay safe
I’m glad you got to enjoy the helicopter base, I bet you have fun.
My respect for those winchmen just rose even further. Need to be a certain kind of person to want to do that for a living
Thank you for another month of wonderful aviation information and entertainment!
Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness
Anxiously waiting for stig to post I got ittt. Thanks for acknowledging the incident that happened in ATL with the mechanics very sad day
Thank you so much for watching, my apologies on the late response
God Speed to your BROTHERS Sir ! My Prayers to you and your industry ....
Thank you so much for the kind words Dennis
I just love the 737s!
13:50 No Stig, you may not drive one of the Porche's off the airfield! XD
🤣🤣🤣
I flew N742PS back in 2017.😂
From DEN back to LAX, while approaching the flight deck initiated a go-around. Still remember vividly.
Thank you for taking care of these birds and all the dedicated members in the industry to keep everyone safe.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I appreciate you and I’m glad you had a safe journey on the good old PSA bird.
Must be awesome to fly on the planes after you've worked so hard to fix em up. Great stuff, hope you enjoyed your break.
Indeed it is, it’s a very good feeling getting on an airplane that I worked on
When my father was in the Air Force he worked in maintenance. He actually maintained the machines and generators that airline mechanics and flight line mechanics use to keep the planes flying. He explained to me the usual procedures and shop conditions when a tire is worked on. It’s a very sad a tragic thing that happened and prayers to the families of one who were lost and injured.
That’s why we try to uphold safety standards as number one. My apologies on a late response. I am trying to catch up with the comments.
When i see yours videos, i don't see it like an entertainment, But like a real job in a noisy and specific environnement.
Sometime it's look easy and sometimes it's will be dangerous. Sad day for the airport technician community.
I hope, you enjoy your vacation un Miami.
Encore une excellente vidéo Monsieur Stig.
Thank you very much, Arturo, for the kind words
@22:00 while most airlines require use of auto brakes on landing, they’re not inherently always on. I’ve worked for an airline where we frequently didn’t use the auto brakes. And even now, I like to kick them off around 100kts to control my runway exit strategy. That being said, the auto brakes are far better for brake wear. They’re much more even and consistent than any pilot can do.
Very interesting, thank you so much for sharing that
Sorry to hear about your Delta colleagues, also sad that it’s Affected you in such a bad way. Being sensitive and being kind in general is what makes us good people. I know you are just by watching all your videos you actually care and have such a love for your career. I as a passenger who has flown literally hundreds of times. But knowing there are people like you keeping those beautiful planes safe. Puts more faith in general. So Mr Stig thank you for being you thank you for your care love and your ability’s in being an aircraft technician. Chin up my friend. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about that delta tragedy you did it with pure love and sensitivity. And you have no need to apologise for being sensitive and caring. God bless you. My tech friend. We ( your subs ) luv ye. 😢
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to me.
@@StigAviation by the way that ending take off and landing sequence absolutely spot on mate spot on! 👏
Take care buddy.
Well said Stig! Our prayers go out to the families of the technicians who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Keep up your great work and please stay safe out there brother!
Thank you so much for the kind words,
Great video as always. Well said about the Delta employees. It’s absolutely tragic. Like you said, hopefully it results in new safety procedures. Glad you took some time for yourself, have to do it now days, especially when we get to enjoy the benefits (think I’ve been to Florida 12 times this year lol). Looking forward to your next one!
Thank you so much, my friend, I always appreciate you being here and watching. And definitely needed that break,
Hey Stig, your video was amazing just like all of yours. All my prayers for the families of the two delta employees and a healthy a smooth recovery for the seriously injured. I am so sorry for the loss of fellow mechanics. 🙏 No worries for not posting a long video, you deserve a trip after all you hard work. I hope you have fun!
Thank you so much. Back at work now. We got to keep moving forward.
Always a great video!!!....Never miss a class!!!.....Wealth of knowledge ....
It’s a pleasure to have you here Allan
I never thought I'd see Fiu around here!!.
Fiu was the official mascot of the Pan American Games that were held here in Santiago last year 🦤.
Today, Fiu is a Chilean cultural icon. There are plushies, backpacks, postcards and there were even designs of him on the cards of Santiago's public transport system. He even has an official account on Instagram 😂.
I'm glad you liked the special livery from LATAM. 😁
Congratulations on your work and dedication.
Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Thank you so much for all that information, and it was an absolute pleasure to see that airplane. Thank you for being here and watching.
My condolences to our fellow engineers from Delta that were killed and injured, so sad. It could happen to any of us for a multitude of reasons. Your comments are very measured and appropriate. Good to see you get a relaxing break from work. Another good video.
It truly hurt my heart to see loss of life within the community. I think that’s why I need to take a break to get away from it.
Cargo looks amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 beautiful cars 😍😍 12:35
Always is
Thank you stig,iam sorry about your bros from delta...take care of yourself.
Thank you for the kind words. My apologies on the late response.
30 years in a acft Quality Assurance and seen good and bad maintenance. Thankfully others caught the bad acts. This video says it all. Thanks
@@genesannes which bad maintenance are you referring to?
I was anxiously awaiting this video! 😊
Hope you enjoyed it!
CARGO NEVER DISSAPOINTS
&
GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY
These are great merch slogans for a tshirt lol
love these vlogs bro
Hopefully, I can get some merch going soon, still working on it
Loving it as usual, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Tragic loss of life! Extremely heartbreaking!
Prayers for the families! Let's hope the union presence and more safety measures will be implemented after this horrific accident!
Indeed, very tragic, I hope the industry learns from this and never repeats this again
Just driving engagement. As the video progresses, maybe ill have something nire interesting to say
Edit: i used to work around explosives at a previous job. Always assume anything that can explode, whether that's chemical potential energy or air pressure or voltage wants to kill you and everyone around you. Never assume that it's been disarmed or deflated or has exploded as much as its going to, because the second you start not respecting that danger, start forgetting that it can kill you, it will. (This also applies to really any and all other hazardous situations and operations, but stuff that can explode is at the top of that list). At least it will explode fast enough that hopefully won't know whats happening before it kills you, at least in the general case
Well said, as the old saying goes “Don’t Assume Anything… it only makes an Ass out of you and me
Love the videos as always and how informative they are. Just started power plant and just starting to disassemble a reciprocating engines. Your videos keep me motivated to keep pushing.✈️
Keep up the good studies and learn as much as possible. Power plant was always my favorite.
32:37 it was the boss, making sure it’s done 😂😂😂 great video👍🏻
Micromanaging me 😅
Another oneeee helll yes on a weekend as well. It is well with my soul
Enjoy 🤙
Hey Stig, I’m just finishing AMT school and about to wrap up my O&Ps for my powerplant rating, already have a couple jobs lined up.. just saying for context..I know the dangers of tire duty from my studies but the news from Delta was very disturbing because it’s such a routine thing I’ll be doing as well and would love to hear from a pro such as yourself on what you think happened or and how it could have been prevented because I know how seriously you take this job and I am as well! I really just want to be safe and do the job right and I see you as a good example of how that is done, and I know I’m not the only one! Anyways, RIP to those who lost their life in that incident and thanks for all of the amazing work you do and for sharing it with everyone, you are awesome! Seriously! 👑👑👑💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
First of all, I wanna say congratulations, you are about to embark on a very incredible journey, a very difficult journey is coming to an end, which is your school. Second of all the job is not hard as long as you follow the rules and regulations in the safety standards, which will be taught to you. I have no doubt in my mind that you’re going to be a fantastic technician, if you love Aviation, and you are very enthusiastic about this type of work, then you were going to do great. Always keep in mind the safety factor, I always tell you and everyone else that this is one of the most dangerous jobs out there, but if you follow the rules, then you will walk away safe and sound. And you will also have the pride of knowing that you dispatch safe and airworthy aircraft.
@@StigAviation copy that brother! I still wanna know what you think happened bc everyone im asking isn’t really thinking it could happen to them but I understand if you don’t wanna get too close, thanks for your time, Stig Shift!
First time I flew into John Wayne in a 757 and we didn't use thrust reversers. I thought we were DEAD lol. Turns out the 757 and 767 have REALLY good brakes. Also much love for the 757, my absolute favorite ride hands down. Such a corvette.
An absolute rocket, I call it the Ferrari of the sky
In many ways aircraft are way more complicated than cars but the every day issues are SO simple & easy to fix. I had customers that needed a fuel sending unit replaced & they were told to return with their tank low as possible, so what did they do… come back with a full tank. My dealer had no way of emptying tanks so we had to fish a hose down the filler trying to get past bends & so forth so we could use our mouth to hopefully start a siphon. In the old days when speedometers had mechanical cables & they got noisy you had to manipulate your hand behind the cluster while upside down cutting your hand on metal trying to pop the clip to remove the cable you could hopefully fish out to gain access to remove the core so you could lube it. Then the reverse to reinstall. Planes are so much easier!!
Not only are the aircraft easier, but the maintenance manuals are so much more superior than cars, maintenance manuals
Ever want to go to Germany for a week or two, Let me know. Ive got you. 😊
Also the other 911 with the 74 on the door is a special edition to commemorate 50 years of the 911..
The next plane you show coming in, the Trip 7 that will be going back to London is the same AA I flew from Dallas to London. Thats fantastic. I love it.. Then the Airbus for British Airways from London to Munich was a complete Turd.. It was a very haggard and rode hard plane and it was obvious. I will always give major credit to BA on my way home. I sliced my foot open during Fasching in Bavaria and it got infected to the point that in Biberach they wanted to amputate. My German friend pulled my IV and I escaped..
The attendant for BA once she found out I was traveling alone and could see how much pain I was in, about an hour after leaving London she took me through the black curtains to first class where I had a bed. Told me anything i needed and everything on the first class menu I wanted I could have as if I paid almost 9 grand for the seat that made into a bed. She said they would check on me every half hour. I did not order anything whatsoever. I was incredibly thankful that they went above and beyond and moved me to a bed. I slept for 8 hours and that was worth a million to me at that time. So BA did right by me and I truly appreciated it. AA in the way over to Europe was great as well but I do not doubt they would have done the same..
Ok done rambling. Thank you Stig!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this with me, I was enjoying your stories. My apologies on the late response. I’m trying to catch up with the comments.
Oddly enough I watched stig and learned about the Turbo50 here first... But here is the email they sent out Stig:
" There are countless ways to say fast. In 1974, we found the fastest.
In a technical advancement that changed the sports car world, in 1974 Porsche introduced the first production turbo engine as part of the 911 lineup. That car’s now famous “whale tail”, a nod not just to form but also to function, a design rooted in aesthetics and physics that offered an iconic companion to the exhilarating power of its revolutionary engine.
Fifty years on, the Turbo variant has become a brand in its own right, proving with every iteration that the dream of a 911 could be taken even further. And to celebrate that remarkable first drive: a 50th Anniversary 911 Turbo, limited to just 1,974 units.
As inherently special as every Turbo model is, this Anniversary model - a brilliant mix of heritage cues along with the cutting-edge design and performance of the 2025 911 Turbo S - will be, dare we say, turbocharged in special. A 50th Anniversary badge on the rear deck and “Turbo 50” stitched in the headrests and adorned on the door sills call out the tribute, while a dashboard plaque announcing the production number certifies each car’s rare place within the Porsche world. MacKenzie Tartan upholstery on the door panels and seat centers draws a bold line to the car’s iconic lineage. Touches of Turbonite, a first for any 911, signal the exclusive club to which this car belongs.
It's a car that inspires imaginations, including that of a watchmaker. And so, a Turbo 50 timepiece, itself a limited edition, is available only to owners of this once-in-a-lifetime sports car.
Due in late 2024, the 911 Turbo 50 Years is available to order now. A historic moment for a car that made history."
This is fantastic, thank you so much for commenting this.
When I was a full time flight instructor, I would teach my students about the FARs and pull out the paper book and explain to them in detail about why they have to follow them. I also used the exact same quote as it was taught to me. "The regs are written in blood for a reason."
We learn from our mistakes. Life lessons in all aspects.
I have fueled countless A319's with "XF" on the tail number and always wondered why there were a few with XF, or where those planes might have come from. Now I know, Frontier. You learn something new every day!
@@KCMHAviation wait till you see ones that end with XV. Ex Virgin Airbus aircraft. 👌
I really love watching your videos. I’m only a flight sim pilot and I fly the 737 most of the time and I was hoping you were going to mention something about that accident in Atlanta. I’m very sorry of the loss of your fellow colleagues in the same field that you work in ,you did a really good job sharing your feelings about it .
Thank you so much Randy
I’m an electrician by trade. I can’t stress enough to the younger people coming into my trade. Safety is first. You come to work, your family is expecting you home at the end of your day/ shift. Prayers go out to those techs families.
Safety always number one, safety for yourself safety for your coworkers safety for the environment that you are working in no matter what you do. We all wanna go back home and kiss our wives and hug our children at the end of the day. Follow the rules and you’ll make it back home alive.
Beautiful remarks about the technicians that lost their lives at Delta. Doesn't matter which company you work for they are all family.👍
Yes, indeed, they are all my brothers and sisters
Interesting channel here, cool stuff
Glad you’re enjoying it.
im doing my easa aircraft maintenance course, i always watch these videos for encouragement and hope to have the career that you do, thanks for the videos friend
Keep up the good studies, you’re going to do great within this industry
@@StigAviation thanks so much brother your message means a lot
Heck yes! Decided to work this evening, unloading my trailer and having some weekly STIG time! I truly appreciate you mentioning the Delta maintenance techs and trying to explain what happened in your view. Prayers to those employees and their families.
I do have a question about documentation. Whenever you add oil, hydro fluid, whatever else, is their a log for that aircraft that you have to fill out as to what was added?
All of our logbook have turned digital, so if any kind of fluid is added to the aircraft, we generate a electronic log page and submit any kind of maintenance being done. My apologies on the late response.
Condolences to the friends, families and colleagues of those lost. First thing I thought of when I saw the news was "Oh crap I hope that wasn't Stig's crew" before seeing it was not at LAX. For those interested in aviation Juan Browne's (who is an FO on the 777) excellent blancolrio channel is worth checking out when it comes to info about accident/incidents.
He is an amazing man and i respect him and his dedication to the aviation community. His opinions are flight based mine are maintenance based. Together we bring knowledge to the whole aviation community.
Oooohhh...Pagani ❤Bellissimo!
Beautiful car
Unfortunately I can’t comment in a positive way. Wife just came off of dialysis and we are now dealing with insulin and trying to keep her healthy. All of my respect and fondness for all that you do maybe a better comment on the next one

🙄 Stig showing off his secret luxury cars yet again. At least he’s modest about it.
I wish 😅
Appreciate your comments on the horrific Delta incident even when it hits home so close, such an unfortunate event, hopefully it never happens again. It's interesting with all the sophisticated systems on an airplane there is still the simple little black peg to see ice buildup. Must of originally been from the fly by the seat of your pants days.
It’s one of those analog redundancy things, as you said , when all else fails you still have your eyes to rely on.
amazing video stig l was busy watch over your video all the time
Thank you so much for watching, apologies on the late response
@StigAviation you are fine stig ones avation maintain allways come first in role your journey
My sister is a FA for AA and she does the DFW to Amsterdam a couple times a month, as well as some domestic routes out of DFW.
Tell your sister thank you for all her hard work. I appreciate it.
I have a boring question about the thrust reverser, are the red lockout tags/pins something that stays in the engine until it's fixed? 😅😅 I'm struggling on how to ask the question, without inadvertently freaking out new flyers... Anyway, I'm assuming that they stay in place until the aircraft arrives to a location that has the parts and slotted time for it to be repaired... I love learning, my brain is like a sponge, although I have probably forgotten more things than most people would ever learn. I look forward to seeing your videos every week. Love it all Stig, Thank You!!!!✈🛩🛫🛬
Prayors... 😞
That’s correct, the lockout pins are going to be there until the issue is fixed. But that’s not the only thing that’s locking it out, we also lock it hydraulically from the power control unit.
Gooood morning Stig! I noticed a lot of the time in Cargo the cars are secured in/with Cargolux equipment. Is this because Cargolux has given them equipment in some sort of lease/deal? Anyway, sick Pagani!
It’s because Cargolux is the carrier that’s transporting these vehicles

@ 5:46, it's interesting how perception change over time. The first time I saw an A320/21 neo I thought the engines looked huge.
Now they dont look that big and the ceo engines instead looks very small.
For some reason, they still look big to me on the neo aircraft
Very cool Stig! 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
I retired after a 40 year career as a heavy transport aircraft mechanic. I also dod light aircraft maintenance on my weekends. So I know what you are showing so far. I retired 11 years ago, so I'm sure some things have changed, but I think I could learn all the new stuff. BTW the Huarye is made by Pagani of Italy.
Our profession is so interesting that even though we have years upon years of experience, the second we step foot on the flight line, we are back in school again and every day is a chance to learn something new. I’ve been doing this for 25 years and I’m still a student of Aviation and forever will be.
