Good day Stig, Please show how you check te brake pads' status at the wheels of the plain. Thanks, we learn so much at your good adventures. Braam from South Africa.
As an FO in Europe on the a320 family, it’s absolutely fascinating to see the work that goes on behind the scenes. You guys are truly the unsung heroes of aviation and I’m absolutely loving your videos - keep it up!!
Really enjoying your videos. I am a retired Shift Manager/licensed Senior Reactor Operator in a nuclear power plant. Your explanations of various systems, and the complexity (or simplicity) of various system designs is great.The average passenger does not care for what goes into their flight, but only are concerned about what they will get to eat or what the movies are on the planes. I, on the other hand, devour each of your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much Mark and I 100% agree with how you see aircraft, I do the same thing. We can all agree that aircraft are beautiful but in my mind, it extends beyond the aesthetics, in my mind it transcends into the engineering aspect and how it work. Why it work and how I fix it. When I say “marvel of Engineering” I mean exactly that. Absolutely incredible
As an avgeak and mechanic myself ( A 320 & A 330 families ) in Germany i really like that filming. I really know the Boeing fleet and i flew with every type except the 707 but i never ever worked on one. I only flew with them as a passenger. Last was a 77W. Great filming. 👍
Hey Stig, don’t worry, you are fine as you are, don’t hesitate to talk to us. Your show is my program while eating breakfast, right before I go to work, every morning you upload :) thank you so much
This video had me smiling from ear to ear for 54 minutes and 31 seconds straight. Instant subscribe, absolutely loved the content and look forward to seeing more!
Dear Stig. I feel sooooo fortunate to have found your channel. A thousand times thanks from an AVgeek from across the pond, the one on your east coast, from rainy Brussels, Belgium.
I work part time as a ramper. Worked a mid today and what do I do when I'm at home winding down? I watch this!!! Subscribed. I too love my work and I'm here because I want to learn more. I'm also at a much smaller station so getting to see how it goes at LAX (one of my favorites for efficiency) really makes me happy. Thank you for doing what you're doing. I can never get enough of this, I only want to know more.
Hey stig love your channel and glad I am part of the AA family. I fly the 737 and love it. As for the light under the split scimitar winglet is so ground personal can avoid them during ground operations especially at night.
you sir deserve way more viewership and subscribers than you have currently. keep up the great work we all appreciate the content and spread the word on this channel to like minded individuals who can appreciate what goes into this.
I'm looking to get into the field. Wish I could apprentice with this guy instead of spending 50k on a scammy trade school. Guaranteed I'd learn more from him in a week.
@@BodegaMouse lots of good free online materials also ASA prep books are good. But in general they will teach you everything from scratch. You don’t have to worry.
Your channel is a gem for us aviation lovers, thank you for sharing your adventures with us and for everything you in order for us to be safe in the skies. 💖✈
Hey Stig, thanks for another great video, these videos teach me a lot and I am grateful you are here to teach them to us viewers! Hopefully it isn’t to rainy for the rest of the week
Man this channel recently came into my recommendations and I am binging all of these episodes! Love all of the little nuggets of information you throw in everywhere and the way you promote safety. Makes me feel even safer flying knowing people like you are there before and after the flight.
Actually! I do have a question. I notice a lot of the planes use the Air X tires by Michelin. Does the tire manufacturer just have some sort of agreement with Boeing/Airbus for their planes?
@@AlexM2299 Michelin is not the only tire manufacturer that has aircraft tires, Goodyear and Bridgestone also make aircraft tires. It just depends on which aircraft it’s used on. Majority of airbus tires use Michelin, the 737 likes to use Goodyear, 787 likes to use Bridgestone.
Oh look who’s uploaded! Automatically a great day! Thank you Stig for continuing to be a huge inspiration and keeping my pilot dream alive! Greetings from Norway!🇳🇴
Plumbing, the reason I loved working-life on the avionics side of things; those engines sweetened the deal for the both of us!! Thanks very much for sharing!!! (the most unique look on Y/T; take care Mr. Stig!!)
Stig, No truer words have been spoken about finding a job to get paid for what you love to do. I think in another life, there would be a pretty good chance I'd work in aviation. Unfortunately there is only so much time we have on this planet, so it's important we do it doing something we love and helping others along the way. Thank you for allowing us to live your job through your videos.
You clearly love your job and are an expert at what you do. You make your videos, so enjoyable and informative especially to those of us who are involved with in lovers of commercial aviation. Thank you for all that you do and for keeping me safe and confident whenever I fly.
It's about time this kind of video was created. I worked on aircraft in the 80s and ramps in 1995. Then truck instructor but still interested in mechanics. Retired but learning from you.
Thanks for taking the mystery out of aviation maintenance I have always enjoyed aircraft and mechanical systems, thanks for taking us along I learned something new today !
I am the geek that took pictures of the aircraft's wiring and ventilation and mechanical systems when I was at the Smithsonian at Dulles. I am fascinated by the complexity yet some systems still rely upon cables and pulleys very interesting stuff ! @@StigAviation
Love this channel! Just found it. My dad worked for American Freight as a P.R. writer in the 70's. Got to fly all the time as a kid. They still fascinate me. Your videos show how important you and all the mechanics/all personnel are in keeping these magnificent machines flying. Thank you!!!!!!!!
As a 38 year employee.....I am super proud to have you as a co-worker. Such a breath of fresh air to see someone who actually loves and cares about his job.
Brilliant again, isnt it amazing, not that long ago we were swinging in the trees , eating bananas and catapillars and now we build miracles called airoplanes. Mind boggling.
I dont care for mechanical or maintenance, but I love aviation. Your videos are entertaining, educational, and shows us a side of aviation that people normally dont see. I love it. I love learning how the planes work. So I guess I do like mechanical videos.
@StigAviation thank you, I truly am enjoying your videos. Watching one a day until I watch them all. Can I ask a question about something that I've always wanted to know? When the nose wheel gets locked out from the tiller inside for pushback how does it realign the nose gear and tiller when the lockout pin is removed? I know that when push back is done the noise wheel can't be exactly back where it was. This is just something that I've always wondered.

I got an A&P license from a little school down the road from LAX in Inglewood about 10 years ago but never worked a day as an A&P.thanks for documenting this stig
The America West lanyard😢 I know you truly love what you do when I see you recording ALL aircraft, even those of competitor airlines. I like that you salute the profession by sharing them.
Love love the video Stig! Never gets old listening to your banter. Oh btw you are right if you love your job it is not work. Just like I love my museum. 😊
For one so young, your wisdom shines. Do what makes you happy, enjoy your job and make it a discipline in which you desire to be and ascribe to figuring things out in not only a formal theoretical manner but in a practical form as so many differnet things can happen. You sir, are a fine example of a superb human being. Thank you for your kindness in sharing and for your constant posts on the finest institution in the world, aviation......at least to us airpolane lovers.
@@StigAviation Please know that your dad must be very proud and so happy that you are part of such a fine profession. He does not have to worry as you amounted to one fine character. Always follow your own advice and despite the management issues that dominate any business, especially aviation, always continue calmly and make your path enjoyable, as you have taught us. Happy trails!
Thank you so much for sharing this side of Aviation that I don't usually get to see. It's great seeing videos of the engineering of major parts like enginese on TH-cam, but when a person like you comes along to simplify and showcase even the most obscure things nobody would think of like the chiller for the galley carts you showed and how the work it satisfies my inner curiosity so much. Thank you for your videos!
I have thousands of hours flying Boeing(737-400/500) and Airbus(A320/321 and A330) and when i came off the 737 i never thought id like Airbus but now id never go back. They're a much more modern aircraft with a way bigger cockpit,the comfort of no control column and the luxury of a tray table to work and eat on!
@StigAviation So reliable as well.I can remember many delays and cancellations when I flew the 737 but the Airbus is ultra reliable.And once you get the hang of flying it,it's a great airplane to land in heavy wind. Keep up the great work,I love your enthusiasm!
Thanx again for sharing. Working for Ford almost 17 years & hating it I finally found a new career @Sony in electronics. Then walking in the building one day with my mgr. standing there waiting for me. Being told after almost 25 years out of the blue you have 60 days to find a new position I was devastated. It’s 14 years now & I still miss my customers & coworkers. Reterment sucks. So keep your memories & most of all keep your sense of humor!
I love your videos man I can’t stop watching them whenever I have time to spare I like to watch something that doesn’t make me feel stupid so this is right up my alley
I totally understand your enthusiasm for these amazing machines, and what it feels like to be near them. Please, keep talking, sharing, and describing. I work for a company that stops fatigue failure in aircraft components and am also totally committed to doing the job, and appreciate the privilege. Aerospace engineering is mind blowing. Those like you who maintain these machines are AMAZING.
Several video's in so far, I just want to say, you're my favorite mechanic in the whole world. I first fell in love with the way you went over everything, on these magnificent and beautiful planes. But I've also fallen in love with the amazing soul that makes up you. I love the way you look at everything, and I feel the same way you do. And in your video's, I get to live vicariously through the amazing job that you have, thank you so much for sharing, it is appreciated by me!
I know that we are getting an abbreviated view of what you do, and I am loving it. Question... I know that each plane is different, but how long do you actually work on each plane.
Depending on how much ground time the aircraft has, most aircraft that come in on a turnaround have at least 45 minutes to an hour, that’s my timetable to do my inspection and walk around
“When in doubt, hit it with a hammer.” So true. Fixed quite a few things with a hammer. My favorite being when landing lights get stuck on with the switch off. Give it a love tap and she’ll shut right off. Great videos
3 weeks ago, I came across one of your videos and watched it for the first time. Just a few minutes into it, I was completely hooked. Now, every chance I get to watch your videos, I watch! I'm in aviation, both commercial (ramp agent) and corporate, and it's my passion. Thanks for what you're doing, and thanks for sharing your day with us. It's easy to see the care you put into your work, and thanks for being a great individual.
Stig, are the engines specific to a right side engine or left side engine or can an engine be mounted on any side? You would think it would be specific but it would make sense if they were universal. Just curious, thanks.
Huge respect my friend! I've been fascinated with aircraft from childhood. Always wanted to be aircraft mechanic, but alas, i found a comfortable spot in auto maintenence. Thank you for all you guys do to keep us safe! 👍👍
Been trying to find peoples who share their work at the airport. Stumbled upon this channel. It's like a gift from god. Love your storytelling and explanations on how things work around. Learnt so many new things from watching your videos and the aircrafts looks so amazing from the ground! Great video! you're doing amazing!
Love your videos man, they keep me entertained the entire time, which says a lot. I'm studying mechanical engineering so it's really cool to see how these aircraft that are designed in offices actually operate in the real world, and also how they are to work on. These things wouldn't fly without you guys, and they especially wouldn't be as safe without you guys. Appreciate the videos!
I love everything about this! Can't believe I'd never found Stig Aviation before this very day!! Never hesitate to re-explain or demonstrate things you've covered before- if I've heard it before it's always good to check/test myself and look for details I missed.
Thank you so much for this content. I was going to go into aviation going through high school and university, even getting a few flight hours in. But with gradually building health issues I had to realign my goals from flight to ground based or other engineering work and eventually dropping out of the workforce entirely. It all seems so very far out of reach nowdays, but seeing content like this even while stuck in bed does so much to keep my brain engaged and thinking and genuinely happy. It helps so much that I can keep learning and stay engaged, seeing someone who enjoys and appreciates their job as much as I hope that I would. Thankyou good sir for everything you share with the world.
Just discovered this channel browsing thru delta taxi and takeoff videos I love the energy knowledge and the value you get from these videos definitely will be binging these !
@@StigAviation honestly, I wish I chose this as a career over being a professional drummer. I was in a band called the switches, I’ve had to take many multiple flights around America whilst I was on tour! The scariest one was a really small plane that we got in on the way to Portland, where we met The Dandy Warhols! It was like being in a small tube of metal!!! lol 😂
Mate as an aviation fanatic who experienced a very intense psychological episode while on a flight, I just want to say that I would have loved to have had your videos in the process of getting my fear of flying under control. I am so glad to say I love being on a plane again, it was a hell of a process but I'm there again. Your videos will definitely have helped comfort so many uneasy flyers, I love your demeanor, I love your content, I love watching what you do, this is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for uploading these.
Thank you so much Scott, I am very happy that these videos are able to help you to conquer your fear of flying. Thank you for being here and thank you for being a person who loves Aviation.
Love it dude. Really appreciate what you do; so many of us don’t know what happens with aircraft maintenance, but you’ve helped us learn. Thanks for the great job you do!!
Thank you for doing this, it is entertaining to watch you enjoy and share what you do. It is also interesting to see all the different parts of the aircraft and learn what it does.
I start a&p school next month. I’m learning so much from your videos I couldn’t thank you enough. On top of that your a great teacher you explain so well
One of the coolest channels I accidentally found on TH-cam. Subscribed. I love planes. The insight to how they work in a more detail is extremely welcome. Keep up the great work!
I am a sailor and I travel around the world by plane to catch my ships..i flew on 737 max all the way to 747-400,from airbus a320 to A380!! I love airplanes and this is the best youtube channel!
Love your videos. You have a the best job in the world. As a LDG machanic on Airbus and Boeing ,ect. I dont get to walk around the planes like you everyday. Thank you so much Take care
@@StigAviation working as a landing gear mechanic at MIA weather is nuts. Clear then rainy weather the next. Have a great week. Keep up the great work.
I’m very happy you were enjoying it. Sometimes I need to pause and explain in further detail, sometimes it two quick words is just not enough to understand the intricacies of the subsystems.
All that time, effort and paperwork because the FO was lazy about moving the thrust levers into the idle detent position! I just found your channel….and love it! Subscribed within seconds. You do an amazing job explaining the maintenance side of commercial aviation. And you have a great attitude and sense of humor in doing so! Keep up the great work.
I work at the ramp at a small airport in Uruguay. I really enjoy my work (most of the times) and so do my partners, and fun and passion makes everything better! Aviation is the only place I've seen sooo much people working in the same building really sharing the passion for what they do, and your videos show exactly how I feel about my job, it's marvellous and beautiful. Keep it up man, much respect!
Another great video! Love your passion, humor, and expansive knowledge. As an aviation enthusiast i fully enjoy your videos, and as a maintenance manager (in a warehouse facility not aviation) I would be thankful to have someone like your on my team with your work ethic and desire to continue to learn and grow. Keep up the great videos.
Stig your videos are absolutely fantastic. You make us feel as if we’re AME’s in training. I’m going to start wearing PPE while watching your channel for my virtual reality experience 😊
Came for the airplanes, stayed for your fun storytelling and personality
Thank you very much. I’m happy you are enjoying it

@@StigAviationAre they enforcing the rule you have to work 6 months and can't sign for work if you go 2 years without using license ?
The America West lanyard😢
I know you truly love what you do when I see you recording ALL aircraft, even those of competitor airlines. I like that you salute the profession by sharing them.
I love all aircraft and all aviation. I’m happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for being here.
Love love the video Stig! Never gets old listening to your banter.
Oh btw you are right if you love your job it is not work. Just like I love my museum. 😊
You have to love what you do 👌
@@StigAviation most definitely!!
For one so young, your wisdom shines. Do what makes you happy, enjoy your job and make it a discipline in which you desire to be and ascribe to figuring things out in not only a formal theoretical manner but in a practical form as so many differnet things can happen. You sir, are a fine example of a superb human being. Thank you for your kindness in sharing and for your constant posts on the finest institution in the world, aviation......at least to us airpolane lovers.
I wish I was younger, 25 years of fixing but I’m still in love with aviation.
@@StigAviation Please know that your dad must be very proud and so happy that you are part of such a fine profession. He does not have to worry as you amounted to one fine character. Always follow your own advice and despite the management issues that dominate any business, especially aviation, always continue calmly and make your path enjoyable, as you have taught us. Happy trails!
Thank you so much for sharing this side of Aviation that I don't usually get to see. It's great seeing videos of the engineering of major parts like enginese on TH-cam, but when a person like you comes along to simplify and showcase even the most obscure things nobody would think of like the chiller for the galley carts you showed and how the work it satisfies my inner curiosity so much.
Thank you for your videos!
I am very happy that I can take you with me on these adventures and I appreciate you for being here and watching
I have thousands of hours flying Boeing(737-400/500) and Airbus(A320/321 and A330) and when i came off the 737 i never thought id like Airbus but now id never go back.
They're a much more modern aircraft with a way bigger cockpit,the comfort of no control column and the luxury of a tray table to work and eat on!
It’s a very lovely aircraft for maintenance as well. Very user friendly and less cluttered when it comes to troubleshooting issues.
@StigAviation So reliable as well.I can remember many delays and cancellations when I flew the 737 but the Airbus is ultra reliable.And once you get the hang of flying it,it's a great airplane to land in heavy wind.
Keep up the great work,I love your enthusiasm!
Wow, i found my new favorite channel. What airport is this? Seems to be a good deal of international as well as domestic traffic. 😊
Welcome aboard Alex, and this is the LAX airport.
LAX. Los Angeles CA.
Yay. A mechanic not just pilot video. Thank Stig & TH-cam.
Ive been studying for 3 years now and I just discovered ur channel, this is my future and you make me very excited for it!
I am very happy that this is helpful. Thank you for watching.
Thanx again for sharing. Working for Ford almost 17 years & hating it I finally found a new career @Sony in electronics. Then walking in the building one day with my mgr. standing there waiting for me. Being told after almost 25 years out of the blue you have 60 days to find a new position I was devastated. It’s 14 years now & I still miss my customers & coworkers. Reterment sucks. So keep your memories & most of all keep your sense of humor!
Life is unpredictable sometimes. It takes you into different directions. Definitely hold on to the good memories.
Love hearing engines power down :)
Me too. Especially the CFM leap 1A
you just might be the coolest man in the world
Far from being cool. I’m just a wrench 🔧
I love your videos man I can’t stop watching them whenever I have time to spare I like to watch something that doesn’t make me feel stupid so this is right up my alley
I’m glad you are enjoying it. Thank you for watching
I totally understand your enthusiasm for these amazing machines, and what it feels like to be near them. Please, keep talking, sharing, and describing. I work for a company that stops fatigue failure in aircraft components and am also totally committed to doing the job, and appreciate the privilege. Aerospace engineering is mind blowing. Those like you who maintain these machines are AMAZING.
Thank you so much for being here and watching and I will do my best to keep on showing and teaching what I can
@@StigAviation By the way, you don't talk too much 👍🏻
Several video's in so far, I just want to say, you're my favorite mechanic in the whole world. I first fell in love with the way you went over everything, on these magnificent and beautiful planes. But I've also fallen in love with the amazing soul that makes up you. I love the way you look at everything, and I feel the same way you do. And in your video's, I get to live vicariously through the amazing job that you have, thank you so much for sharing, it is appreciated by me!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for these beautiful and thoughtful words. I appreciate you.
I know that we are getting an abbreviated view of what you do, and I am loving it.
Question... I know that each plane is different, but how long do you actually work on each plane.
Depending on how much ground time the aircraft has, most aircraft that come in on a turnaround have at least 45 minutes to an hour, that’s my timetable to do my inspection and walk around
Wow, not a lot of time. Great work on the videos, loving every one.
I appreciate the "nitro button" on the throttles lol
😅 NOS just like fast and the furious 🤣
Getting my fix.
You had me itching
I aim to please, thank you for watching.
“When in doubt, hit it with a hammer.” So true. Fixed quite a few things with a hammer. My favorite being when landing lights get stuck on with the switch off. Give it a love tap and she’ll shut right off. Great videos
Someone in a comments said percussion maintenance. That cracked me up 😅. And thank you.
3 weeks ago, I came across one of your videos and watched it for the first time. Just a few minutes into it, I was completely hooked. Now, every chance I get to watch your videos, I watch! I'm in aviation, both commercial (ramp agent) and corporate, and it's my passion. Thanks for what you're doing, and thanks for sharing your day with us. It's easy to see the care you put into your work, and thanks for being a great individual.
Thank you so much for being here and coming with me on these adventures David. I appreciate you. Stay safe out there on the ramp 🤙
Stig, are the engines specific to a right side engine or left side engine or can an engine be mounted on any side? You would think it would be specific but it would make sense if they were universal. Just curious, thanks.
This is a very great question Rick, yes, engines are interchangeable from left to right.
@@StigAviation Thank you !
Thank you! Maintenance are the true heroes of aviation.
Thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated
Huge respect my friend! I've been fascinated with aircraft from childhood. Always wanted to be aircraft mechanic, but alas, i found a comfortable spot in auto maintenence. Thank you for all you guys do to keep us safe! 👍👍
Thank you very much Scott, it’s a pleasure having you here and I’m glad you’re enjoying it
Been trying to find peoples who share their work at the airport. Stumbled upon this channel. It's like a gift from god. Love your storytelling and explanations on how things work around. Learnt so many new things from watching your videos and the aircrafts looks so amazing from the ground! Great video! you're doing amazing!
Thanks and welcome
Love your videos man, they keep me entertained the entire time, which says a lot. I'm studying mechanical engineering so it's really cool to see how these aircraft that are designed in offices actually operate in the real world, and also how they are to work on. These things wouldn't fly without you guys, and they especially wouldn't be as safe without you guys. Appreciate the videos!
My biggest, thank you to you for recognizing that, most people don’t ever say that. But I’m glad you understand it. Thank you for being here.
Im happy I found this channel, You guys are the unsung heros, thank you for all the hard work and the cool videos. Be well man
Thank you so much, I appreciate that and I appreciate you being here
I love everything about this! Can't believe I'd never found Stig Aviation before this very day!!
Never hesitate to re-explain or demonstrate things you've covered before- if I've heard it before it's always good to check/test myself and look for details I missed.
I am so happy that you are enjoying it and learning. It’s a pleasure to have you here.
Thank you so much for this content.
I was going to go into aviation going through high school and university, even getting a few flight hours in. But with gradually building health issues I had to realign my goals from flight to ground based or other engineering work and eventually dropping out of the workforce entirely.
It all seems so very far out of reach nowdays, but seeing content like this even while stuck in bed does so much to keep my brain engaged and thinking and genuinely happy.
It helps so much that I can keep learning and stay engaged, seeing someone who enjoys and appreciates their job as much as I hope that I would.
Thankyou good sir for everything you share with the world.
It’s a pleasure to have you here and I’m glad you are learning and enjoying all of this. I wish the best for you in your future endeavors.
Just discovered this channel browsing thru delta taxi and takeoff videos I love the energy knowledge and the value you get from these videos definitely will be binging these !
Many thanks Joe. I appreciate you being here.
I think this is one of the best TH-cam channels I’ve found ever!!! This is what TH-cam should be about!!!! ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m really glad you’re enjoying it.
@@StigAviation honestly, I wish I chose this as a career over being a professional drummer. I was in a band called the switches, I’ve had to take many multiple flights around America whilst I was on tour! The scariest one was a really small plane that we got in on the way to Portland, where we met The Dandy Warhols! It was like being in a small tube of metal!!! lol 😂
Mate as an aviation fanatic who experienced a very intense psychological episode while on a flight, I just want to say that I would have loved to have had your videos in the process of getting my fear of flying under control. I am so glad to say I love being on a plane again, it was a hell of a process but I'm there again. Your videos will definitely have helped comfort so many uneasy flyers, I love your demeanor, I love your content, I love watching what you do, this is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for uploading these.
Thank you so much Scott, I am very happy that these videos are able to help you to conquer your fear of flying. Thank you for being here and thank you for being a person who loves Aviation.
Love it dude. Really appreciate what you do; so many of us don’t know what happens with aircraft maintenance, but you’ve helped us learn.
Thanks for the great job you do!!
Thank you for being here and enjoying the adventures.
@@StigAviation you have the kind of experience that can’t be taught. It’s learned and earned. Thanks for sharing that.
The MAX is such a beauty, so is the A321..just perfect
Both amazing aircraft
Thanks Stig!
Nice and informative, like always. love your channel!
The world needs definitely more people like you, so kind and humble! 😊
Once again I’m humbled by your kind words. I appreciate you
Thank you for doing this, it is entertaining to watch you enjoy and share what you do. It is also interesting to see all the different parts of the aircraft and learn what it does.
Glad you enjoyed it and it give you a deeper appreciation for aircraft
I’ve been desperate to find a new TH-camr to watch, you sir have itched that need, THANK YOU
It’s a pleasure to have you here. Thank you for watching Jay
I start a&p school next month. I’m learning so much from your videos I couldn’t thank you enough. On top of that your a great teacher you explain so well
Keep up the good studies my friend, you are going to be here and doing this soon. And don’t hesitate to ask questions, that’s how we learn.
Tell us which school you will attend.
One of the coolest channels I accidentally found on TH-cam. Subscribed.
I love planes. The insight to how they work in a more detail is extremely welcome. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much. I appreciate you being here.
I am a sailor and I travel around the world by plane to catch my ships..i flew on 737 max all the way to 747-400,from airbus a320 to A380!! I love airplanes and this is the best youtube channel!
Thank you kindly. And as a sailor you could relate to aviation. Aviation was born from maritime history. Hence we have a lot of the same terminology.
And A Great Big
Thanks for Your
Expertise.
You have A Extremely Important
Job. 👍
Big thanks
Love your videos. You have a the best job in the world. As a LDG machanic on Airbus and Boeing ,ect. I dont get to walk around the planes like you everyday. Thank you so much Take care
Thank you Tim. I appreciate you being here. Stay warm out there. I know LDG getting some nasty weather lately
@@StigAviation working as a landing gear mechanic at MIA weather is nuts. Clear then rainy weather the next. Have a great week. Keep up the great work.
I just came across this channel and boy am I glad I did! This is absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much Stig!
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much for being here Jake.
Love the way you interject explanations as you go. It is really enjoyable to learn as you explain
I’m very happy you were enjoying it. Sometimes I need to pause and explain in further detail, sometimes it two quick words is just not enough to understand the intricacies of the subsystems.
All that time, effort and paperwork because the FO was lazy about moving the thrust levers into the idle detent position!
I just found your channel….and love it! Subscribed within seconds. You do an amazing job explaining the maintenance side of commercial aviation. And you have a great attitude and sense of humor in doing so! Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind words. It’s a pleasure to have you here.
Thank you for making the airways the safest means of transport❤
It’s my pleasure
I work at the ramp at a small airport in Uruguay. I really enjoy my work (most of the times) and so do my partners, and fun and passion makes everything better! Aviation is the only place I've seen sooo much people working in the same building really sharing the passion for what they do, and your videos show exactly how I feel about my job, it's marvellous and beautiful. Keep it up man, much respect!
Aviation is a very unique place where a diversity of people can come together for one unifying cause. To make it fly.
Another great video! Love your passion, humor, and expansive knowledge. As an aviation enthusiast i fully enjoy your videos, and as a maintenance manager (in a warehouse facility not aviation) I would be thankful to have someone like your on my team with your work ethic and desire to continue to learn and grow. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you so much for those incredible words sir. I’m honored.
Always appreciate a guy who loves his job!
Thank you Sam
Love flying the 777s out of LAX. You have the best office in the world ! Thanks for great videos.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate you being here and watching Michael.
ITS THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD aviation, airplanes, and piloting are my life thanks so much for this video and the effort you put in
My pleasure! Thank you for being here Sam
Stig your videos are absolutely fantastic. You make us feel as if we’re AME’s in training. I’m going to start wearing PPE while watching your channel for my virtual reality experience 😊
STIG VR 😅. That would be cool.
