Another nice one, always a pleasure to watch. Thanx for taking the time to make these videos. I know it takes allot of work to put em together.

Thanks for The preflight walk around, I saw some things that were new to me.

Hi Capt Your Videos are always top notch and top shelf. I have been breathing Avgas and Jet-A for over 44 years now in varies types from singles to DC-8`s many years ago and hung up the wings for hire a few years back. I love watching the new technology and automation and think about how far this industry has come in 44 years. The pilots have so much going for them and so many opportunities and you play a very big part in getting them in the air.Keep doing what you are doing and fly safe. Take care and have a Great Holiday Season.

This video was somehow soothing and calming, thank you

Fun fact that stood out the most to me, you have to hook up your oxygen mask. Shaun on Corporate Pilot Life channel showed the oxygen mask pops out of a pocket on the side the G4 then wraps around the pilots head quite tightly on it's own so the pilot only needs one hand to deploy. He had to take that video down when he switched companies in case any goes looking for it. Thanks for all the additional fun facts, enjoyed them all.

I'm sure the following has crossed your mind. Your single pilot, ate a meal at a strange restaurant, jump back in this excellent machine and blast off. An hour later food poisoning sets in. There you are without a co pilot at FL410 wishing the owner had sprung for the cost of another pilot on board. That said always enjoy your excellent videos. Fair weather wishes to you this coming year.

Keep studying your aviation courses.. read every aviation magazine as knowledge is powerful Dont get cocky or arrogant as sure as hell you will come down hard. Be gracious and humble as you work to fulfill your dreams. I had 40 wonderful years after getting my PPL and Instrument rating and then commercial. Joined an international airline as a junior first officer on Boeing 737 and 727. Graduated to the best aircraft in the world and that as loveable 747 and finally retired after flying the 400 series 747. Today I own an Aero Commander 690b with long range tanks and can fly the length and width of my country without the need to stop and take on more fuel. I cruise at 420knots indicated at 36,000ft and am above the weather. I wish you all the best in your chosen career and hope you have a successful career. Good luck and happy Christmas to you.
