    i did this back in the 90's, about 4000 hours worth. it's very dangerous because they didn't want to fix the machines....

    Awesome video man! How many hours did you have when you got hired on as a tuna boat pilot? I'm looking into going into that after school as not only have I heard they accept some low hour pilots, but it looks awesome!

    Do you still fly for the tuna boats? I’ve noticed that none of the channels still make videos, why is that?
