The Mercedes at 11:00 is even more special than 'just' being a black series. It's a special edition for customers that have ordered the AMG ONE and they got it as an apology for the long delays in the cars development. The star pattern is also allegedly hand painted. Not the worst apology gift if you ask me. The wrapped up 911 is a restomod from a company called Singer. Basically an old 911 with modern mechanics. Insanely expensive but probably the best 911 money can buy from that generation.

Eight to ten months to build a Singer. Probably wrapped to prevent it from being individually identified (every single one is unique). The demand is so high it can take upwards of five years to finish one- and you have to supply the base vehicle.

The Mercedes is the MB AMG GT Black Series Project One. It had a 57k paint job on it and yes, only 25 were made for the US market. However they were still less than 7 figures as RM Sotheby’s sold one not too long ago for 775k if I’m not mistaken. That Porsche you showed at the end with the word Singer is actually a custom vehicle essentially. The customer supplies the donor vehicle (964, 930, etc) and Singer will then improve upon it tremendously. They basically tear it apart and rebuild it and make it better in anyway that the customer desires. Cargo never disappoints!

Hi Stig, I love your walk arounds and info talks on plane checks. I've watched several and learned a lot about what you do to "keep'em flying" THANKS ! Maybe you could look into a situation that happened 25 (or so) years ago. I never learned what happened and really wanted to know. I've flown many times to many countries in many different planes and know the "usual" sounds and sequences of events for takeoffs and landings. On a return flight from Korea on a United 747 plane we had to make an emergency landing in North Bay Canada instead of landing at Kennedy International in NYC. The pilot announced we were making an emergency and issued instructions for landing. That was a very scarry announcement to hear over the planes intercom system. The plane descended from 35,000 ft to ground level in less than 8 minutes, that was different! We were instructed to assume a crash position, bent forward pillow on our laps holding our legs, eyeglasses off and our heads tucked in between our arms. The plane actually pointed it's nose down, I've never been on a big plane that did that! We were lucky the runway we were going to use was an old military runway about 12,000 feet long no longer used by the military. The airport using it was very small, mostly for single and twin engine planes. It's usual passenger traffic might have been 30 to 50 people daily, primarily for people hunting or fishing. The landing was very hard and the reverse thrusters were never deployed. The plane seemed to come to a stop in a very short distance shuddering and shaking very hard. As soon as we stopped the plane went completely DEAD, no power, no lights, no AC, no bathrooms, NOTHING. That was the start of the problems! We couldn't deplane 300ish people because there was no Emigration officials at this little airport. It took 3 hours for officials from Toronto to fly up so they could let us off the plane. I was in Business class which was on the upper deck at the time and the temperature up there went sky high in less than half an hour! I went downstairs and sat at the open exit door. All the doors were opened for fresh air or it would have been ghastly. Once we were permitted to deplane I was first off the plane and made a bee line to the restrooms in the terminal, there were three hundred people right behind ME. When I was relieved and stepped outside again, I kissed the ground for a reminder to be glad to be back on the ground. We were grounded for 15+ hours waiting for a new plane to take us home. The airport personnel opened all the vending machines in the terminal and the airplane unloaded any food it had. People were everywhere and there was no place to really sit . I curled up in a cargo carrier outside. The Canadian national guard brought water and cots and more food. Local news arrived and was talking to people. FINALLY a McDonald Douglas L1011 arrived and took us home. The 747 we came on was still sitting on the end of the runway, dark and dead. What would cause that type of failure? Could you get any details on that incident so I can get closure of a very scarry incident. Keep up your good work and thanks again. Art

Thank you Joel. Glad you enjoyed it

A hot start is when temperature limitations are exceeded during start, possibly damaging the engine’s hot section. If the condition continues unchecked, a fire may result. Hot starts may be caused by improper pilot action (introducing fuel before reaching the proper motoring rpm), a failure of the fuel controller or fuel nozzles, a tailwind component (the wind inhibits exhaust flow at the back of the engine), or a weak battery causing the electric starter to peter out after light-off. If you see ITT/EGT (interstage turbine temperature/exhaust gas temperature) increasing abnormally quickly, abort the start with prompt action before an actual temperature exceedance occurs, resulting in a more mellow “warm start.” The correct pilot action for a hot start typically is to cut fuel off immediately and leave the starter engaged. Motor the engine long enough to purge all the fuel and hot gas from the combustor and allow airflow to cool the hot section. A hung start occurs when the engine starts but doesn’t accelerate to idle speed. This indicates a problem wherein the HMU/ECU (Hydromechanical Unit/Electronic Control Unit) falls off the acceleration schedule or fails to bring the secondary fuel nozzles online. Cut the fuel off and motor the engine.

Seems to me that the brake wear indicator pin on the aircraft is a "same function, different method" version of the "brake pad squealers" that are standard equipment on most automobiles (at least in US/Canada), an easily observed indicator that you need to service the brakes. Speaking of, since all of you reading this are hopefully still reading I'll give you some advice from an auto mechanic: If you hear a squealing sound coming from your car's wheels at low speeds, especially when the brakes are applied, you should schedule an appointment to get new brake pads (and if it's a Subaru, probably rotors too, that brand has excellent brake performance, but the rotors like to become warped over time, which you can detect if you feel a vibration in the brake pedal when you get up to 45mph and apply the brakes firmly, but not so hard that the ABS kicks in. If the ABS kicks in, you'll hear a loud buzzing noise and your foot will feel like you stepped on an earthquake. Warped rotors don't usually feel THAT severe, but you'll feel like you stepped on say a subwoofer cranked up quite loud and playing a very bass-focused song.

FYI: on the A32F CAs will pull down the compass as a “trigger” that something is requiring attention, like fueling, Mx write up, etc. Since the compass is normally stowed, if it is down, we are reminded that we are needing to verify -something-.

Hey Stig, another great video! Look forward to all of them… I think those engines sound just as awesome when the pilots cut the power and shut them down as when they spool up during start and takeoff!!! 🤙🏼

The spool down of the engine is definitely one of my favorite sounds, especially on the CFM leap

Best down to earth Stig video🙌🙌🙌

Can’t wait to finish AMT school. Saw that LAX is hiring and I’m always thinking, how cool it would be to work there, and possibly work with Stig( and learn the ropes). Checked to see if my local airport was hiring and sadly nothing. But things can change quickly. But if there wasn’t an opening I’d entertain the idea of hoping to LAX. Thanks for another amazing video Stig, can’t wait for the next one

Definitely keep an eye out, they are hiring all across the nation at many different airlines as well. Wishing you the best of luck in school and hoping you pass your tests on the first try

very first plane pulling in, that was a really good shot of one great big hoover.

Stig, I had a tour of concord the other day, you would have loved and appreciated the engineering ! Spanner’s and hammers to build and maintain it. 48 analogue computers, together no where near as powerful as a mobile phone. The smallest luggage hatch ever, and not a screen to be seen in the cockpit !! Thanks for sharing your experience with us

I love these videos! I have learnt so much! A highlight for me was in the video where you were filming an Airbus wheel and then you put the camera in the wheel well and BAM! There it was - the Airbus barking dog! I also like that the music is just one long chord, the sound of aviation! it doesn’t want or need to go anywhere or resolve just like an aircraft in cruise ❤

Always love getting the notification that a new Stig video is out! Finally get the time to sit down and watch it able to relax and learn something new every day! One thing I love about compasses, doing a compass swing on ships. We had to do ours after sitting at anchor for almost 2 months, very interesting to see in aviation its similar.

I know an A330 fleet for which nearly all their APUs are on MEL. They have to do the crossbleed start every time. Doesn't help their departure reliability for sure. More than a dozen mel items on some of them! No APU downgrades their ETOPS to 120min

I Love the tunnel mural/museum reflection commentary. I look for that and do the same at every airport. inconvenient truths about war and politics.
