• Goodbye Blue Sky - Kel...
Juan, your just an honest interesting person and fun to listen to. Nothing you do is uninteresting, thanks.
Juan is a solid good bloke, no ego, well informed and has that element of interest and curiosity, and turns it into very entertaining videos with his user friendly smooth accent.
From someone who lives just two hours outside London I've got to say that was a superb little snapshot of a great city tour, many thanks.
A year later, this video popped up in my feed. I watched it again. So enjoyable.
i think your a great vloger .. im glad the dam opened out eyes to a great man.... keep up the good work ....
Ditto on all....
as an air force brat born on Loan Airbase near Chateauroux France, it is like coming home, to hear your voice, and your creative use of your generous knowledge base. thank you.
Greetings from NE Calif. Really appreciate your stats, landing gear, and London tour.
This is my first int'l tour with you. Hope to see more. Thanks so much.
Goodbye Blue Skies...a perfect music choice. And the mini tour was great...loved the gardens.
Thank You for the tour of London. It is nice seeing the tulips. May is the time Ottawa Ontario Canada has its tulip festival. I thought you were a small plane pilot
Have fun on the return flight.
La Vern Simkins pretty sure the day job is "heavies", the light aircraft being for fun & the dam busting is a fascination/passion (for which I am very grateful). Keep up the good work, Juan.
Flying over there in a few weeks. We have a family farm not far from Dover. Flying VA, and I have no idea what aircraft I'll be in yet. All of my trips over, I just stay up after arrival and hit the sack early on day one. After that, the lag is not so bad. I hate the flight back because of the extra time flying into the wind.
Mind the gap, and look right when crossing. I like the way they put that in the crosswalks in London.
Lovely shots of the RAF bomber memorial. Very poignant timing here in Australia. ANZAC Day is April 25th, which marked the landing date at Gallipoli, and commemorates all Australians who died in service of their country. There were many Aussie airmen crewing the fighters and bombers over England.
Nb : If you ever visit Canberra, drop by the war memorial to see 'G for George' - the RAAF Lancaster bomber that survived 90 missions over Germany and occupied Europe.
Wow! Keep us posted on this.
Here's a few pics of G for George at the Australian War Memorial last year. facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10154098308117033&id=675712032
Loved this video. Loved seeing and hearing about the 777 wheel trucks, flight paths, winds, fuel mileage calculations, all so interesting. And seeing parts of London, that was really nice. Super job. Thank you.
Your Oroville dam posts led me to this post. I noticed what you did there with the music "whilst" at the war memorial. Clever selection. I look forward to your next report from Butte County. Safe travels.
Excellent Juan, I hope you had a good trip (you got lots done) - typical weather for England. It is amazing what you do, you certainly push yourself in life.
Thanks Juan, another interesting video!
You explain everything so nicely Captain. Just love your content!!! God Bless & Stay Safe.
Is he a f/o or a captain?
Hope you enjoyed your trip! Thanks for sharing the sights with us!
Well I ran a blog called WIngnutz for years. It was frequented by pilots and aviation buffs from all over the world. I thoroughly appreciate and enjoy your posts Juan. I especially like the engineering and technology components of your content. All very well stated and interesting. This particular video though, of London is a real treat, and the sociological and historical snap shot is well worth the time to watch. I lived a few miles from the Boeing HQ when is was still in South Seattle for over 60 some odd years, and was a frequent visitor to the Everett plant all during the first 47 build and watched the first ever flight. If you ever get to Seattle they have one of the best Museums of Flight, and the restoration facility at Payne Field is a worthy adventure too. Look me up, I'll be your tour guide. Thanks.
Goodbye, Blue Sky... I absolutely love that album... Funny enough, this video is from around the time I first listened to a song from The Wall. As a high school student, I had set my radio alarm to the local classic rock station because I was getting bored with modern music. Let me tell you, when the first thing you hear out of the radio is the helicopter from Happiest Days of Our Lives, you wake up fast. But I was definitely captivated by what came next. I'd never connected so suddenly and strongly with a piece of music before. It was definitely cathartic.
Thanks for the tour of London. This is the closest I will ever get to that town.
Thanks Juan. Big LOLs about the 'Bell End'. I was waiting for a Brit to say something :) . BTW, love the Floyd music married with the war memorial footage.
Brad Griffin I think we all had a bit of a chuckle across the pond at that one.
Greg Phillips I didn't get it - not Brit enough, I guess. Care to explain for the Americans?
I'm an Aussie Greg, but yeah, I know what a bell end is :) LOL
I am glad Brad stepped in there LOL. I think the anatomical term is Glans...
thank you for answering before I asked lol :P
You make landing gear exciting, I never had a closeup look before!
Excellent video, Big Ben at 1800 was sweet. I appreciate the info you present about the 777. It appears to be a marvel of engineering. Thanks!
Many Thanks Juan for great update. Stay safe. Ray, Queen Creek, AZ
Fantastic International Edition..!! Thanks for the tour of London..!! Juan, Do you always do the pre flight walk around inspection of the 777??
Great video! That plane is a monster. Enjoyed the tour of London...thanks!
Thanks for the tour. So much history to see I just have to get there one day 👍. Love the wartime history. The palace looks just like in The Crown.
I watch most of your videos even though i have to search for you, really enjoyed this one thank you so much and hope all is well for you
Another great vid, beyond just critical news reports, like these changeups. Your tours gives Rick Steves a run for the money. But here we all get a some cool insight on working equipment, thanks Capt'n. Smooth flight ahead and watch out for the solar flare storm on 23rd/24th, hear it may affect comms and nav.
fantastic video and info on London wish i could visit sometime. thanks for sharing with us Juan
Thanks Juan, Good Vlog
Nice to see the NZ memorial in your vlog, yes I am a Kiwi living in Canada. I will be visiting my daughter in London this June, been there a few times now but this will be the first for my wife. Been watching your vlog on the Orville Dam, keep up the good work, your vlogs are the most precise ones out there Just the facts,
the churchill war rooms are really a amazing site to see ---- lots of museum type reading and lots of unmodified as it was left sealed off rooms ---super cool definately worth while to see :)
That was very cool.........anybody recognize you from your channel?
Yea, when I was in Yosemite with the` kidz..."are you the guy...."
Fantastic video, keep them coming!! Perhaps a cockpit tour or a pre-flight or an airport walk thru. We really are enjoying your video reporting, don't stop!!
Love the video Juan! I live about 15 miles to the East of London, I guess because it's so close and familiar we tend to forget that it is one of the World's great and historic cities. Fascinating to view it from a visitor's rather than a local's perspective. Incidentally, if you've ever approached Heathrow from the East and vectored in from the LAM VOR chances are you've passed within a few miles of my home. On a clear day I get a great view of the planes in that stack from our parking lot. Small world eh?
Cool stuff, Juan. Your return leg took you right over my house in Creston, BC. 6km north of the ID border. I track LHR- LAX aircraft all the time and they invariably go directly overhead. That route is the only air traffic I see here. Next trip, wave! :)
Hi Juan, great video, just one point - 'Big Ben Tower', It is the actual bell it'self that is called Big Ben. The Tower is the Elizabeth Tower.
I shouldn't fret about it a lot of folks, even Londoners can get it a bit wrong.
Liked the way you kicked the tyres, .....if the tyres are good then it's all good!
there's a lot of fodder there for Freudian frivolity
is there a video that we can go to in order to tour the inside of the 777 without showing anything that is classified? Curious to see if there is something like a crew quarters for during off duty while flying? Wouldn't hurt to see the inside of passenger cabin either. Are the seats bigger? You do an excellent job of explaining things. Thanks Juan!
I'll look into that.
hi Leah, there are videos here on youtube of the crew quarters of 777, 747, 757, 767, DC-10s, Airbus, etc... just search
There's nothing classified about a 777, plenty of information out there about everything you'd every want to know.
you can find blue prints to all aircraft that shows every part of an aircraft can even get some show you every bolt screw and wire plus a lot of the interior is set to what the company that buys the planes want
don't want blue prints, just want to see what it looks like inside
Juan, Totally addicted to ur channel. A shit load of interesting aviation knowledge. Many thanks.
I had the auto play on and this video popped up can't believe I missed it before. Great one to see. Can not wait until you are flying again. Telll me it will be soon..
Nice video - interesting to see London from a visitor's perspective.
You look like you really love your job.
Headwind / Tailwind takes longer because of takeoff and landing considerations (distance travelled on runway to achieve takeoff speed one way and distance to stop when landing as well as the effect on angle of climb. But in reality you would be taking off into wind and landing into wind on both trips. I also think about the amount of fuel loaded being different based on fuel burn in headwind vs tailwind. Unless I’m thinking of this practically and not mathematically lol.
Edit: actually it should still take longer because you’re flying into the wind for a longer period of time than you have a tailwind.
I don’t know why I thought so much about this, but it was fun :)
Enjoyed this very much,London is one of my favorite places and I'm a huge triple 7 Fan such an awesome aircraft.Happy travels to you!
Love your channel and the clarity of the videos. Serving time in the USAF made me aware of the awesomeness of flight. Not smart enough to be a pilot, I did enjoy working on many types of aircraft. Lots of respect for Pilots. Reports on Oroville were awesome. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for showing a video of your daily job! Would love to see more maybe you can do a piece on the crew sleep area? Nice addition of Pink Floyd music, fitting for London!
It's all good stuff Juan, keep them coming!
Wonderful choice of music for the war memorial footage. Brings tears to my eyes. Only after falling in love with that song years ago did I later meet my in laws who lived through that very terror as children. Cowering in shelters as the bombs destroyed their towns. They obviously survived, but were scarred for life.
Let's not repeat this madness AGAIN, ok? Anyone listening? Trump, et al?
And remember this sage advice when you get to tour the Churchill site: "No fighting in the war room!"
Thanks for your wonderful videos. Wide-ranging subjects of interest and all intriguing!
I think I could understand pretty much anything if you explain it to me. Great teacher. I bet your a fun pilot too! ummm I understood your algebra too, amazing!!!
what a lovely informative gentleman
BBC has no advertising, paid for by a TV licence everyone has to pay. Big Ben is the bell in the tower. love your videos by the way.
Excellent; what a pleasure to view!
Another great video by Juan brown. You are the man. Love your channel!!! Thanks for the tour. Really enjoy the information about the 777. Like to see more of that when you have time.
Thanks for sharing your tour. :-)
That was a right & proper Pink Floyd acoustic Good Bye Blue Sky cover
d=rt; so t=d/r
t = d/(r+x) + d/(r-x); x is the difference from nominal speed r
t = d((r-x)+(r+x))/((r+x)(r-x)), which simplifies to
t = 2dr/(r^2-x^2), so any difference (x>0) results in longer total travel time.
Yes!
jagmarz nice, reminds me of Sheldon Cooper on BBT
jagmarz: Love the math!!! However, check your simplification again! How about t=2dr/(r^2-x^2)? However, same conclusion.
Oops! Typo! Thanks @Soren
Gord Baker: Haha!
Juan, with all the negative press the airline industry is getting nowadays, you're a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep up the GREAT work.(:>)
You need a hobby! Not much going on in your life :)
DesertDenizen you are shitting me, right.
fran merrigan - Good catch, that would have slipped by most people!
Hi Juan, just wanted to say, you put out some of the best journalism I watch. Very impressive! Thank you. However, one correction: you videoed the BBC outside broadcast unit covering the marathon, and you mentioned that there must be a lot of advertising to pay for that, but the BBC has no advertising, but I'd funded instead by a tax on televisions! 😁😁😁
Wow!!!...Yikes! That was TONS of gear!
Blancolirio International! Good long naps to you Capt.
Thx so much for this vid ...what an insight !
Sir thanks for increasing me in my knowledge you are great sir.
Great Video! Enjoyed a lot! Interesting to see your a pilot, didn't know that! Especially on 777 wow really cool. I took a trip on tipple 7 from Atlanta to Dubai and back. The flight was so long I never want to do that again. Was so glad that flight was over! Anyway great video, always enjoy them. You are a very good host narrator!
As you say, mpg for modern planes is much the same as 1 person in a reasonably efficient car. But the issue is that that 5000-mile flight is roughly 1 tonne of CO2 emissions. So no worse than driving 5000 miles, but that would take several months for normal driving levels (people in the UK average 8000 miles/yr in a car, probably higher in the states). So this one return flight is equivalent to a whole year of driving emissions. And the high altitude release causes additional forcing so in practice it works out about twice as much. To avoid completely buggering up the atmosphere we need to get _total_ emissions down to about 1 tonne per person (the amount that the ecosystem can absorb every year). So that means you can take one intercontinental flight every 2 years _and_ generate zero emissions from heating, driving, food, stuff, electricity etc. If you want to do any pof that then you need to take _less_ than one intercontinental flight every 2 years. Can you see that we have a pretty serious problem yet?
Blancolirio's carbon footprint must be boggling. 100 flights/yr? so maybe 200 tonnes, or 400 tonnes effective? That makes him one of the worst polluters on the planet (along with all other long-haul pilots of course). Until we have low-carbon synthesised fuel, air travel is completely unsustainable, certainly at current levels. Obviously it's very useful, but so is a functioning atmosphere and sea level more or less at the current level. People need to make choices, and most seem to be trying hard not to really change anything at the moment, which is a recipie for really horrible outcomes.
Wow a 777 weights 700k lbs. it's amazing it can even fly
Love the sounds of them engines under load
Interesting Churchill fact. He was a pilot. He was also the first head of state to fly across the Atlantic.
man you are so ...so...right....pink floyd ...classic...nice choice!
The core's the size of a regular fan!
I like the 300 for international travel, primarily DFW-LHR. Last trip though equipment issue missed connection from SAT to DFW got me pushed up to ORD to catch the 787 over. That 2000' lower pressure altitude is nice but AFAIK they don't do DFW-LHR by 787.
Love the info on the 777 landing gear, nice tour around London. Wonderful remembrance of the WWII Lancaster pilots and crews. The weather looks perfect for a walking tour. I likewise would love to see the war rooms. I would like to place a wreath on the Arthur zHarris statue, the leader of the Royal Air Force bomber section was made the unfair Scapegoat for the British bombing missions deemed excessive
The Churchill war rooms are a must. I saw them when I was in London.
This was cool! I mean I have enjoyed all your videos on the dam and motorcycles and trips but this is awesome too!
Enjoyable, thankyou
No advertising to pay for the BBC outside broadcast.
Comes out of the licence fee all British Television viewers pay to fund the BBC. You can watch the entire Marathon broadcast without interuption.
The BBC can produce programming without worrying about keeping advertisers happy.
the Pink Floyd cover was a nice touch, Juan.
I think you may have missed your calling Mr. Browne....
A big stack of thumbs UP!
Great, I’m always up for a quick pilot tour. I’d like to place flowers next to the Sir Arthur “Bomber” Harris statue. The guy.really got screwed over for simply following Churchill’s directions.
Hi Juan, thanks for a great film of my home town. Yes it is the BBC showing the Marathon, funded by the TV licence. I see that some people see fit to run the BBC down, I’d like to redress the balance. For less than £13 a month we get 7 advert free TV channels, numerous advert free national and regional radio, an on line channel and a great catch up and achieve web site; good value I say. If they were funded by advertising I doubt they would be spending that much on their outside broadcast or showing half programs they show now. You can’t watch the BBC for free overseas - except in a few places where the signal spills over - at least not legally.
Thanks! so is this BBC1 and BBC2 I see at the hotel?
Yup, there is also BBC 4 which only broadcasts in the evening, BBC News 24 and the more specialist BBC Parliament plus CBBC and Cbeebies - both children’s channels. BBC 3 is an on line TV channel and then there are the radio stations. You should also be getting the main commercial channels, which have considerably fewer advert break than I have seen on US TV, plus freeview channels at the very least.
Great vlog especially the points of interest in London. Also the B777 landing gear overview was excellent since its my favorite Boeing aircraft when traveling from PHX to LHR. ✈
Pink Floyd as background music was great. London looks a lot different than it did 40 years ago.
Great video 👍🏼
Cargo brings revenue too I presume? Fuel miles might change knowing that being included. I'm no pilot but I'm guessing with zero winds to and from, the time would be a tad less than with tailwind and headwinds.
hey Juan...the triple seven is a beautiful airplane, but still no match for the Mighty Luscombe....Blue Skies and Fair Weather to ya...
My favorite video of yours!
Love your channel Juan. I've never been so interested in an American spillway as I have following you. And now big airplanes too! I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.
Trivia answer attempt: Given the same headwind there and back, a round trip with X headwind / tailwind will take just as long as a round trip with no headwind / tailwind at all.
Did you have some fish and chips while you were there? Great post, Juan. Appreciate the inside look at the jetliner landing gear.
thanks for the videos always interesting
Great vid Jaun keepum safe PIC flying that 777 😁
Great vid man. Very cool.
Every pilot I’ve ever met had a soft spot for Pink Floyd, seriously! Probably because David Gilmour is an aviator himself, owning a p51 mustang.
Oh man Pink Floyd! It doesn't get any better than that.
I would say that the trip with the head wind leg in it would be slower that the no wind on either leg.
The 777 Landing Gear System: It's Big ®
9:33 "Just get a GoPro!" A+
Juan is just a new boy
Stranger in this town
Where are all the good times?
Who's gonna show this stranger around?
Thank you! I am an aviation lover and really enjoyed the 777 landing gear tour. Any chance of a flight deck tour? The tour of London was wonderful.
will do if OK with the company...
Using words like "without scrubbing the wheels" when explaining the landing system are just the kind of descriptions that make your videos interesting and appealing to such a wide group of viewers. That segment alone could be used by American as part of a print ad, commercial, or a pre-flight video on the plane from the pilot to comfort hesitant passengers about the safety measures used in designing the equipment for this plane.
Yes, I also enjoyed the flowers, information about the sites visited, and the music at the appropriate places. I suspect I'm not the only one of your subscribers who feels like we're getting to know you - or at least sees you like a relative we'd look forward to visiting us. (Of course bring your wife and kids!)
Apart from any viewers you have on YT, these vlogs are a wonderful supplement for your wife and children to know and remember you -- and perhaps better than some husband and father who is home every night for dinner at 6 p.m. I say "perhaps" because every family and relationship is different in what their needs are and what they value in life. My comments here are not any kind of correction (far from it), they're just meant to encourage you in things you already know. Each of us just has the same 24 hours a day - no matter what our skills, health, vocation, or salary is. How we use that time shows what we value most. From someone old enough to be your mother, Juan -- and who is taking a little "journalistic freedom" here :-) -- may you and your wife always make good choices. You are appreciated.
Have you ever flown the 787. The Dreamliner is a beautiful plane, and would enjoy seeing it up close!
not yet....probably soon though.
Love your videos. Found you when you were giving updates on Oroville. What program was that you were using at the beginning of the video?
