    Hey Pete, can you make more instructional videos on the Boeing 767 and Boeing 757(study series). I feel like that would be great for your channel. There’s not a lot of Boeing 757 Pilots/Content creators out there, and we would really appreciate it if you taught about the distinct systems and capabilities on it.

    Unfortunately, Chicago weather is just unpredictable. I was in Chicago a week ago and I had received a notification of a Tornado Warning. Got a lot of rain when that storm hit, luckily saw no tornadoes. Great aviation content Pete, keep up the great work!!

    Haha😅 You made me laugh. Yes, you were here in Chicago. So, yes, I saw the replica of Grumman aircraft there. Nice. Yes, Well, being my former base here in Chicago I would always walk through our United crew line here in Terminal 1 in casual business style clothing but with my crew IDs hung around my neck even when going on vacation. Haha, then I would run to the Starbucks to get my coffee.😊 I never brought liquid before trying to go through security!!😅 That one Starbucks by the employee security is soo close there. Crazy!! Starbucks has money no matter what!😅😅😅

    Yes, there were a few hotels free. Me and my former crew use to have free breakfast at the Sherry Frontenac in Miami. Yes, Lufthansa and British Airways would layover there as well. But the Hyatt, Marriott, Doubletree and Hilton gave us airline discounts for meals general by just show our ID. Along with the Radisson Hotels as well. And I had my hotel points memberships already before flying so, I continued to get my points with Hyatt and Hilton Hotels. For me, having flying out to Los Angeles and San Diego a lot, I always need a car to see family and friends so, I would rent a car and park particularly when staying in Los Angeles at the Hilton Hotel and get my points from park. Yes, I use to always presented my hotel membership when checking in to get my points in general from eating and the bar at many hotels that I use to layover. Yes, I said the "bar"! ☺ Smile

    I literally just got off of a flight fron Denver, CO. That mountain air had the plane rocking so badly. A 3 hours flight with almost 2 hours of fighting the air. The pilots did a great job getting us to some smooth air for the the duration of the flight. We were on a 737-700.

    Great video, Pete! Thanks for talking about the mountain waves. As a meteorologist at an ARTCC, your explanation was very interesting. I wondered how quickly the up and down motions occurred. When the opportunity presents itself, I'd be interested in more about your perspective on turbulence and icing. I work at an ARTCC with a lot of cargo flights. The joke when I first arrived was that cargo flights don't provide many PIREPs because "boxes don't complain!" 😂

  • @pilotpetefly

    None off ours do. The reason (so I was told) was because without winglets the company could squeeze more 767s into the gates. But I wish they had them, they look cooler when they do!
