People are hungry for a no nonsense cool corporate content. I enjoy watching anyone that masters their craft. Like any job you want to excel at learn all aspects inside and out and be the Swiss Army knife people can call that can handle anything and speak with experience and knowledge and to have that and still be young enough to enjoy the good life it can bring at your age is an accomplishment. Keep up the good work and content man. The sky is the limit right? Heh. Safe travels and thanks for putting out cool videos. Cars and Aviation are my two favorites so I’m always checking out your new content. I appreciate you keeping it fresh and real. Keep up the good work! Edit: If I could offer one suggestion on your POV cam if possible, its pretty high up in the cockpit and a good of the left map light. Even if the map light could be rotated out of the way It’d help some. I for one enjoy watching the landing approach, seeing the runway from a distance, watching the PAPI with the pilot and enjoy seeing these stellar butter landings. It’s cool to be able to see all of that instead of the map light. Just a thought. Thank you for the POV cam and trying something new!

Quick tip on the CRT displays flickering in the video. It's a bit of work, but, take each clip in your timeline in your editing software and put one above the other (so they are both displaying on the screen at the same time). Offset the top video by ONE frame, then set the opacity of both clips to 50%. The flicker should then disappear. The one frame offset should show the whole screen all the time, instead of flickering. I used to work on a couple short films in college and we did this all the time to stop flickering of Fluorescent lights in our shots. Again, it s a lot of tedious work in editing, especially with a lot of clips. but it works. BTW, I'm currently a commercial Cirrus SR22 pilot. Not as cool as the Gulfstreams, but at least it's a job! Congrats on the 30k!

Your missing the point. Its happened to me and other. Just by being aware as PIC you have to make a log entry, and the MEL it. According to the feds, you are accepting an aircraft with a known decect that has no referance anywhere, except in you head. That will not fly. FYI ATP A&P CFII AGI Types in 5 aicrafts, glider and seaplane. 30K plus hours, so big deal.@@gear_down
