I live about a mile from PIA in Maryland. I must have went to their website 100 times in the last 2 years daydreaming how cool it would be working on planes. Well after watching your videos I went to their next open house and ended up enrolling. Classes start in exactly 2 weeks. Thanks for the inspiration James.

I grew up in York, PA and did my private flight training at KTHV! Happy for you neighbor.

One of the two vlogs I consistently watch just such good editing, filming and music.

absolutely love your work. I'm a heavy line diesel tech, but I'll never miss one of your videos. your line of work is so interesting! don't stop, you'll go far!

im a heavy equipment mechanic and i been taking in consideration to enjoy aircraft mechanic program, is a dream and i never had the kind of information i need to start, thanks to you now i kniw what to do

James don't change anything! You're doing great. Can't wait to see more you, more Vince, more Lindsay, more of your cool ass brother and of course more Shawarma Factory!!! If I can't win the intake valve I'll gladly take a pt6 as a consolation prize!

I really do enjoy watching your videos James. Very entertaining and I really do like the PC12 too. Keep shooting JS.

Keep up the Good Work James! Good to see a mechanic who shows his work, would love to see more maintenance vids. I'm About to EAS out of the USMC, spent 4 years as an Airframer on the KC-130J platform. Will be continuing my career progression by going to A&P tech School.

That's great to hear! Thanks for your service and good luck on your next chapter!

Love the style of your videos, it goes really well with the music too, keep it up.

James! Your video's are such a refreshing change to the majority of content on KZread. I love aviation and I love flying and it's strange but your video's make me not only want to eventually pursue my challenge of getting a pilots licence but I also generally feel so much more confident on planes knowing that there are people like you keeping them safe! your video's have come so far in the aspects of story telling and production value! keep it up. You have a fan from England who is currently living in Brazil! :D

love your videos...... wanted to shout out to the "anonymous first fan mailer"; people like that make this world a better place!

Discovered your videos about 6 months ago. I'm not a mechanic but I really enjoy your sharing your positive attitude towards life, whether it's work or play

Hey Lukas - You in Bean Town? Where am I supposed to send your Ostrich Egg?

Hey man, my name is Scott, I recently started working on my pilots license and I think seeing your videos showed me that aviation is more than just going from point a to point b, it is an experience that I have come to love. I want to say thank you for making these videos and taking time to edit them, I understand that they take a while. Thank you for showing me that aviation is more than just a means of transportation, it is a passion that I will continue to pursue for the rest of my life.

As an A&P mechanic/ Private pilot myself, I loved it when I found your videos! I hope you keep up the good work, I like how you can show both sides of the mainentance field with GA and Commercial level, keep it up!

James, I have really enjoyed your videos... I was a US Navy Aviation Electronics Tech for 20 years and I loved the hell out if it and miss it... so I really live vicariously through them... Keep up the great work.

Been watching since Oct, great channel. I'm an A&P and love aviation, it's awesome to watch more of the industry. Looking forward to more videos

I started watching your videos to see what a day's work would be. I'm in my graduating year, and I've chosen this career path because of you. Thanks for all the videos!!!

Hi James I'm Jay a A&P in Ohio my wife Heather is working on her Cfi we really like your Chanel "more please"

Hey James, my name is Adam. Watching your videos makes me look forward to graduation that much more. I should have my A&P licenses at the end of this year. I am about halfway through school at PIA's main campus in Pittsburgh. Thanks for sharing this with us James! Keep up the good work!

Keep up the great work, James. As a pilot i enjoy watching your videos and learning more stuff about machines we fly! Greetings from Slovenia!

But ya prais notifications, I found your videos when I applied for college to become an aircraft mechanic when I youtubed "aircraft mechanic " and yours was one of the top video and it grasped me with the interesting content and great editing. Your videos get me excited to start school in September so you keep on keeping on and doing your stuff because it's great 😁😁

Really like the maintenance information, a great look into the life of an AMT. Keep up the great videos, your edits and music make them a pleasure to watch.

That intake valve would look cool sitting on my desk.

Congratulations James! You're a talented guy, love the videos!

I really lycoming home and seeing you posted a new video!

James, great idea for a giveaway! I'm starting a collection of parts that have failed or worn out while installed in the aircraft that I operate. I have enjoyed watching and learning from your videos. I almost ended up flying for SurfAir, but couldn't justify moving my family to that area. Now, I am a Chief Pilot on a King Air in the Midwest US. Keep up the good work!

Very cool giveaway. I volunteer regularly at a local air museum and saw some blown pistons lying around. I really wanted to use them as decorations as although broken at the shaft, they still had the heads intact. I possibly wanted to make a table out of old props, and aircraft parts. Congrats on the channel and I have seen every one of your videos. I am a private pilot myself, but your videos are pulling me towards maintenance and possibly getting my A&P. Thank you!

Hi! Student pilot here, love your videos, I fly PA28's with O360 engines so I would love to have an intake valve on my desk ^_^ Keep up the good work!

Loving the videos, man. As one that loves airplanes, flying (student pilot), and fixing things, your videos satisfy all three. Keep them coming.

hi James, I am happy to have found your videos, as a lifetime aviation enthusiast, and future pilot. it would be really awesome to see some videos of you flying as well as your experiences while earning your PP license would be awesome. a personal thanks for participating in replying to messages. thumbs-up!

Thank you, James you have been an inspiration for me. For months now I have watched your videos nervous about about getting into the aviation field. I started my journey 2 years ago in A&P school and now have a great job working on general aircraft from R44's to beechcraft. Keep exploring and keep inspiring people to do something they love.

its just amazing to see those amazing vedeos you are the best james keep doing this and came back to morroco there is a lot of thing to see and to film here

and i loove seeing the planes and all what you do in your daily work

Seen your videos for about a month now. I'm from the UK so an apprenticeship is the way forward to become an aircraft mechanic (Which I've been trying for the last year and got nowhere :( ) but your videos are quite good to watch, both from a social and also educational aspects

James, I look forward to your videos and enjoy them so much. I admire your work ethic and your continuing efforts to learn about different things. I really enjoy the aircraft videos and info, but I loved that you took us along on your South American/Cuba trip. Keep them coming and keep exploring!

One great channel love the musical scores always fit the viewing mood and does deviate ones attention from presentation. Love pilatus wish I could learn to fly one

I have always wanted to do something along the lines of what you are doing. Ultimately I decided to follow engineering as a career, and although I am about a year into school, I know that this is what I have always wanted to do. The reason I say this is because I was inspired by someone like you. You might not know it, but you are making a bigger impact than you really think. Just one of your videos might inspire younger generations who are unsure of their future to follow a field like yours. Thank you for the wonderful content.

Hey James! Thanks for keeping the great content coming. Congrats on the one year. I'd love to win that intake valve. It would be a great addition to my model airplane collection.

Great video, loved them over the last year, been watching for the last 10 months😃😃😃

Keep up your videos, they're really nice and have great quality!

Love your videos and your drone shots. I was a machinist and we used to rechrome diesel injector valves and centerless grind them and they were good as new. I hope to be the winner. Keep up the good work.

Great videos! Love it all! (I was a mechanic in the Air Force, a student pilot, a structural engineer and an international traveller, so yeah, love it all!). Thanks James! :o)

Love what you do, the mechanic videos are amazing.

I just found your channel a couple days ago and I'm so glad I did. I currently work in the rail transit industry, but I'm looking for a permanent switch to aviation- probably in airport management. I've learned a LOT more about the industry already thanks to you. As a woman, I've always been very apprehensive about my decisions, but coming across great things like your videos really just remind me of all the reasons why I should just go for it. Your viewers never doubt that you love your career. Anyways, please keep making these vids, just as long as you still enjoy it. Thank you James, and here's to the next year!

I'd love to show that valve to my aviation teacher and class. Would be very cool if i got that as a piece to show to future co workers and friends.

I fly a plane with the same engine as the intake valve is from, would be awesome to have it sitting on my desk! Furthermore, great video as always. I do believe you really inspire people, just like you inspire me.

Really enjoy your videos. I appreciate how much time you put into them to make them quality. Keep up the great work!

Sweet! Keep 'em coming! I want a shot at the give away.

Hey James congrats on one while year. I started watching theses videos to get a view inside of the mechanics world of aviation. I am about to start flight school and these inspired me to continue. Keep on doing what you do best.

Love your channel!! I have only been subscribed to your channel for 2 weeks but I have watched almost all of your videos because they are so interesting!! Keep up the great work

I had a valve in my tool box with the end grinded to a point to open turbine tin oil cans great tool . Enjoy your videos .I retired after 33Years has a AME on helicopters

Keep up the amazing work ! I will be starting my aviation program this upcoming semester, and watching your videos has truly motivated me a lot. So keep doing what you're doing and hopefully if I have trouble in my journey I can reach out to you for help. Great work man !

Congrats on the milestone! Keep crankin' em out!

Thanks to 9gag and ur graphics card video that I found you, havnt really missed a video since in fact went back and watched all the previous ones. You and all the people around you seem so nice and the experience is so real. You really do deserve a lot more subs... Keep it up and Good Luck

I am currently studying hard to become an Aircraft mechanic. I spend most my time studying planes, and learning how to fix them. I watch your videos on my free time for inspiration, and a inside look on how the job is. I feel the intake valve will be something i can pick up and look at to keep me going in my last year and show my class mates XD. Love the videos James! Keep it up! especially the videos where you fix, or change equipment on the aircraft's. XD :D

Great job James! Just started A&P school. Love the vids! We need some Vince back!

More aircraft maintenance videos please. Great job this past year!

I really admire you man. I really think I might go do an apprenticeship somewhere bro, because of you. Really wish you’d come back, this content feels like the life we all want to live, but just don’t know how to go about it. Also, I’d really like to talk to you somehow if I could, to get a better understanding of the path you took. Thanks, Gavin.

Keep up the good work and I will continue to watch your videos as long as you decide to post them. Godspeed James

Congrats James!! I've been thinking about taking Avionics at the local community college where I live, Avation is something people don't really consider doing for a career but I find it interesting.

Congratulations James. Awesome.

The experience is great because at school we're not using the most up to date equipment! I would love to get the intake valve with your signature to show off to my classmates

I really liked the highlights. my dreams is to be a aircraft engineer and travel the world and do parkour

Great video! Ever noticed that you get that "kid in a candy store look" whenever you're on a plane? I should know cause I do the exact same thing ;) Keep those videos coming, I miss them :)

Thanks James for your videos , they have inspired me to become a a/p mechanic!

Hey man, I just found you tonight! I'm Powerplant rated and about to be eligible for my airframes in 3 weeks, I'm studying comm/nav tonight (it's lots of fun😑) haha Anyway, I'm glad I found your channel it's really cool watching you do things we've talked about, but don't have complete A/C to practice on. Keep it up 👊 You have friends that work heavy maintenance do you think you could maybe show some of what they do?

Awesome vids man. From one aviation enthusiast and aspiring film maker to another, keep it up!

Love the channel James. Keep it up, great production and very interesting content. Keep it up! :)

It would be really cool to have aircraft parts to decorate my apartment with. Congratulations on one year!

Congrats on one year! I think I should win because it would be a piece out of the engine on both planes I have been training on for the past 3 years (AEIO-360 and O-360). Would be pretty cool to have a piece out of one of those engines.

Hey James, I'm a junior in high school just trying to plan for life and your videos gave me a great insight into the life of an aviation mechanic and really helped cement what I plan on doing with my life! Thanks for posting you work for us to see!

A good reason? Hmm, you know how in movies sometimes you see the crew asking whether a doctor is onboard (now, thanks to United, this question will become somehow less popular, I guess) or a pilot, right? Well, so far no one asked if anybody has a spare valve but I'd like to be prepared and always have one with me, you know, just in case :D
