@mentourpilot - Wanted to chime in right quick and thank you for making this video… I am fairly loyal to the individuals I subscribe too and I found Kelsey a long time ago.. never searched for any other pilots as I never felt the need too… and as silly as it sounds, this video with you two sincerely makes me feel like I am not betraying(cheating on.. 🤪 )Kelsey’s channel 😉
A long time ago,the man who taught me trucking quit and started driving charter buses,but it wasn’t long before he got back in a truck. I asked him what happened and he said,”I got tierd of my freight bitching at me,trying to barrow money,or wander off during stops.” He was a lot happier hauling inanimate cargo.
I use to do Motorsports photography and product photography and people would always ask or want me to do people. I seldom did it because of the same reasons. Taking photos of a car or motorcycle on a track, it does what it does and I do what I do and I don't have to deal with people.
One of the good things about the lockdown is the awesome collaborations that are happening! Two of the best and nicest aviation guys on youtube, love it!
Just found this 3 years after the fact, but 💯 agree. It's always awesome to see favorite YT content creators collaborating and supporting each other. 👍
I was a train driver for over 30 years. Drove freight and passengers and never once thought about passengers behind me. It was just a train to me. Keep yourself safe and everyone else is safe with you.
Seeing this video 2 years later brings back a lot of memories... freeways in L.A. with no traffic, no contrails in the skies from flights... glad we're past that and I hope we never see anything like it again. Petter & Kelsey, glad you both made it through and are continuing to entertain & inform us! Keep up the great work!
Unfortunately, we most likely will see that again. Humanity gets struck with this kind of thing every 60-80 years or so; it's just the nature of diseases. But we're getting a lot better at handling them. The death rate of COVID was 70-100 times smaller than the death rate of the previous pandemic, the Spanish flu from a century before. If anything, it's a good reminder that we, for a change, did something right.
As a truck driver I fully understand what they mean when they are talking about sitting around waiting.Just had that experience in Atlanta just yesterday actually.
I'm not a railroader yet, but I know a few. Sitting and waiting is a big part of freight railroading, especially on single-track lines. In fact, one railroad got the nickname "Now You Sit & Wait."
Fascinating interview. I'm a subscriber to both channels. I was hoping to hear about Kelsey's background and how he got into aviation. Thanks for the video! Stay safe and healthy.
@@theRk1300 Why? You get to see Petter's gorgeous face. If you don't want to, just play the UA-cam vid on a tablet & close it so all you hear is audio......
@@You.Tube.Sucks. oh no no no no no, It's not about the gorgeous face, it's just about duration. I personally can only take 12-15 min doses of gorgeousness 😁
@@MentourPilot Maybe get Robert "Hoot" Gibson on the channel. He was a Space Shuttle Commander and landed the most severely damaged spacecraft to ever safely return to Earth. Later went on to become a 737 captain for Southwest Airlines.
Loved the interview with Kelsey from 74 Gear. Aside from your channel, I watch Kelsey often. He always has interesting topics to discuss and he adds a bit of humor as well. Love both of your channels. Mentour, really like to watch your accident investigations from a pilots perspective rather than the NTSB accident report . Hope your quarantine goes by quickly and you are back in the air where you belong!
Great video. Very informative. As a retired airline employee with a background in load control, I remember that cargo aircraft have some additional weight and balance requirements especially regarding the prevention of twisting of the fuselage. Also Kelsey mentioned that certain cargo types cannot be loaded adjacent. There are also goods that can only be transported on cargo-only flights.
I’m not a pilot but I admire their job and I have to say that I learned a lot with this video. Airports should have a cozy lounge just for pilots with Lazy Boy recliners, TV, and stuff to help them to rest and relax if they need to.
Kelsey always has that mischievous, boyish grin. So refreshing to see him discussing with Petter - really uplifting (if you'll pardon the cringeworthy pun) and I hope we see more.
I have only PPL and fly Diamond DA40 from Rotterdam, and we can fly now the ILS06 which you can never do before, we can even fly over the Schiphol tower! So the crisis has also some very nice sides for private pilots,
Yeah, but is all cities over there. You need to fly like an hour before you get to normal landscapes. Just kidding, I'm Dutch too, from a gliding family, for several reasons stopped flying, still miss it like hell. The Diamond is great, but I could never afford a plane like that. Good on you. Have you ever shipped your Diamond to the States for a holiday trip? That brings us back to cargo planes...
I lost it at Ginger Gangsters vibe hahah, loved this video an it is great to see a collab between my two favourite pilots on youtube! Stay safe and take care you both!
Loved the interaction between the two of you. It was really interesting to hear the differences between the flights. Thanks to the two best pilots with this type of shows.
Great podcast! I love your podcasts in general, but this had a lot of fascinating content. A lot of stuff I would never have thought about, like having portable oxygen sets for handlers when transporting live animals. Thanks so much to you and Kelsey for doing this!
Thanks Petter for an awesome video. 74 Gear is also a really fantastic channel!!! As well as the awesome "Hollywood vs. Reality" videos, he also does "Cockpit Confessions" which are some really really funny stories and his videos about aviation memes are a lot a fun as well!
Love these double chats, but on topic, with a ship, it's important to inspect your cargo, the ship can capsize or break. We might have more change to survive if something happens. So much respect to all pilots. I'm trucking now but still, it's a responsible job.
Happy to see You Petter!!!! Thanks for keeping the videos coming! Got my daughter hooked up with Skill Share while on stay at home, it's been a life saver for her. No more boredom.....
I've been hoping for a video with these 2 guys together - prob the best aviation guys on UA-cam. I guess I'm 2 years late but I'm still glad to see both of you in this video.
Absolutely loved this video. I love every video that mentour puts out. Also love 74 gear. They are my absolute 2 favorite channels on UA-cam. Really been enjoying the live stream.
Use to be a B747 flight Loadmaster for a major ACMI carrier close to 9 years. I can tell you some of the crew did wear that during flights (which is the beauty of Cargo Flights-Freedom!). Regarding the Bangram air crash, I don't think any of us flying in the B747F didn't feel something in us watching our supposedly giant craft fell like a dead leaf.
@@revenevan11 Ya, can really see that in the turn around time differences. Obviously the Dreamlifter is larger than standard but even a standard cargo plane takes a lot longer to unload than a passenger airline. The benefits of your cargo being self mobile!
This was interesting to watch from a pilots perspective. I am a service engineer for heavy industrial machines so I was flying all over the world in planes with 3-4 passengers. I was the only passenger on 2 flights. Very interesting conversations with cabin crew and pilots! As always great video.
wow! 2 of my favorites in one show! 20:00 i live in east coast Va. US, right beneath the main MIA/ATL to new england corridor, the sky is usually filled with 5 to 10 contrails constantly. now? nothing. clear sky. yes, it's empty up there.
I am not a pilot or attendant, and I’m actually scared of flying - but I am fascinated with planes, etc. so I follow both of these guys. So smart and informative…and listening to them actually helps reduce the fear of flying! Knowing that there are pilots like this in the air calms my nerves 🙂
This was great! I'm glad i got to see my 2 out of 3 (sorry captain joe! Lol) favorite pilots collaborating and making an awesome video during these crazy times! I'm glad you guys are holding up and doing what you can! Stay safe out there! Keep the blue side up! 🙂👍
Yeah I actually got onto your channel because I got hooked on 74Gear 😂. I'm not even a pilot but I aviation and aerospace stuff is interesting and since I chose another path in life I figured I'd experience it through your channels. Thanks to both of you for your great content.
Yeah, I've only had a couple intro piloting lessons (in sailplanes) myself but haven't been able to continue pursuing it, and almost certainly won't do it for a career. So I love vicariously seeing more in depth stuff about it through all these wonderful channels!
I sort of wish I could afford to take flying lessons for the little planes because it looks like it might be fun and it might make me feel better about riding in one of the big commercial airliners.
Same here!! :D I wonder if more of us discovered Petter via a different Youflewer ....Flewtuber? Crewtuber? Oh hang on, AIRSTREAMER? Hm... cockpit streamer sounds like incontinence so that's out too... 🤔
The fact that they both feel and think the same no matter what's in the plane shows the high professionalism they have every single day and how well they follow protocol to the letter. I would love to fly with these guys and feel very safe knowing who was behind the yoke. 10 out of 5 *s **********
"Gangster vibe"!! XD I love your channel so much, Petter! It has helped me and taught me so much. Looking forward to new content as always. And collaborations, as well!
Absolutely best video I’ve seen of yours. I have a journalism background so to see two of my favourite pilot UA-camrs interviewing is great. Really cool insight and contrast, so thank you for doing this. I hope you can do this again soon!
Flying over the Mediterranean a colleague of us asked a French ATC to spell the point he was given a direct to, upon which the ATC said fly any point you like 🤣 crazy times indeed.
Well done for having Kelseyyyy from 74Gear on your channel I love this guy as much as I love all you guys that bring us all the news you do Keep up the great work From a simming pilot Dave
Upon mentioning Manchester, my brain just clicked that I've not seen or heard a single airplane (I live under the MIRSI approach route to 23L/R, flights from across the atlantic and Ireland fly over us) since lockdown was initiated, with the exception of the NPAS helicopters flying over every so often.
afxinfinitee there’s been a few arrivals, but very few and far between. The headwind direction has also caused the switch to arrivals from the south in recent days.
*Guy sitting on a couch for 26 days:* I need to do some new content *Guy due to leave home & fly for 5+ hours straight:* ends up doing & becoming the content for the new video That, Petter, is what I call Mastery 😜
I know I'm almost a year late to this one considering I just found your channel but the pharmacist in me has to comment, "Wear sunscreen!" The amount of rays you are getting sitting up in the cockpit - SUNSCREEN STAT!! :)
Bravo to Mentour Pilot and Kelsey, wonderful presentation! I was happy to know you two guys are comrads, and clearly work well together...likely because of parallel character traits/values.
Got a buddy flying 747 freighters, he says full load in and out takes same time as refuelling if the ground has its act together. Max take off and landing weight can be way up on a freighter so speeds are up
I've never flown on 747, never got a chance... the crisis is threatening this dream to become true. Love your channels! Keep the absolutely fantastic side up.
@@roaminginthought9210 I'd like one more time on one too and there's still a chance because of the huge drop in fuel costs and their cargo capacity even in passenger form.
They were cool and I miss them every time I buckle up in a cramped soulless 777. In 1969 I once flew LHR SFO on a 707 320C an a/c that had soul but cramped doesn't begin to describe 8 hours in that thing.
I don’t know if you guys have ever done any other Collabs, but you are my two favorite aviation channels by far and I’m not into aviation, other than having flown remote control planes and helicopters as a kid and adult, and always loved the commercial jets the bigger, the better Anyway love your channels, more collaborations please !
I live near the Boeing plant in Everett (the big one that holds the record for largest building by volume). I honestly hadn't realized until I scrolled down and read someone else's comment, but... Yeah, the Dream Lifters aren't taking off or landing here for the past few weeks. Usually, there's at LEAST a few a month. You can tell when a Dream Lifter is landing because the engines are so much louder than other jets. Crazy that I kinda miss the bone-rattling behemoths...
I just watched this and that was really interesting to hear about the differences! I just want to wish you both well in this strange times and hope your lives can get back to normal soon! Take care! Good luck with it as I live in France and it is in total lockdown too! However it has to be done for all our safety!
Funny thing is that the Dream lifter looks a lot like the Airforce/NASA Guppy. My uncle designed the original guppy in order to transport various rocket segment/stages. My uncle XXXXXX designed many aircraft and ICBM's among others during his Airforce tenure.
When you really start digging into everything going into IFR flight, it just cascades into different fields of science. I was already guessing you're an instructor just from the way you break down and teach stuff (thank you!). It will take me a while before I get back in MSFS2020 - I'm still just one week into binging on all your videos!
1:27 "Did you need to take any special licence to fly cargo?" Well, you need extended Dangerous Goods Training to handle Cargo Aircraft Only items. 3:15 "How does a turn-around look for you?" I have done "hot turns" on cargo (land, taxi in, leave one engine running while you throw out one or two boxes, and take on one or two) taxi out and take off. That was on a light jet cargo operation. Mind you - I've done that with passenger operations as well when the APU was broken and there wasn't any ground power. Sometimes we had three hours to wait - in the middle of the night so the only thing open was a taxi-driver's burger joint so we would wait there. Flying cargo operations for an airline, we got cold catering (sandwich & fruit platter).

"Can you REALLY fly a B747 in Pyjamas?" I suppose that depends on whether you can find a pair of pyjamas to fit a B747.
Hehehehee, okay fair enough, that was funny. Thanks for the giggle :)
I'm sorry but this joke is WAY underrated and deserves more likes
Dudeee, underated, if its original comment.
I'll ask my mum to sew a pyjama for a B747 right now...

As a retired USAF C130 Loadmaster, we referred to PAX as SLB (Self Loading Baggage), pure cargo was always easier.
74 Gear and Mentour Pilot in the same video again?
History has been made again and I am here to witness it!!
These 2 are the kind of Gold even William Devane would endorse :) (move over Rosland...)
Petter and Kelsey together do a great presentation. You can tell they respect each other. Yes, we will try and visualize Kelsey in his pj.
You fly cargo, it's just self loading, and it talks back.
Hahaha! True that
Robert Campbell HAHAHA
It's hard to argue with his assessment
I’m not sure the flight attendants would agree it is self loading!
Well i tought that's what they meant when talking about "life cargo " 😂😂
Heard a Crew got the landing clearance 100NM out. Craz
Mr. Mentour, not only are you THE FLYEST(no pun intended) dude you are hands down you have THE best aviation channel online!
Thank you so much 🙏
You guys make a brilliant duo! Always happy to see Kelsey on your channel!
Really enjoy you and Kelsey getting together and discussing flying. Thank you both.

Two different personnalities and channels approaches but two very informative and knowledgeable guys. Loved to see them together interviewing.

When you said Kelsey was gonna be on here, I actually screamed "YES"! I love that guy
I apparently watch too many videos... Mentour asked Kelsey where he was, I looked at the hotel room and said "L.A."

Bravo to Mentour Pilot and Kelsey, wonderful presentation! I was happy to know you two guys are comrads, and clearly work well together...likely because of parallel character traits/values.
I love you guys both, you are outstanding individuals. Thank you both for your work. Live long and prosper!
Got a buddy flying 747 freighters, he says full load in and out takes same time as refuelling if the ground has its act together.
Max take off and landing weight can be way up on a freighter so speeds are up
I've never flown on 747, never got a chance... the crisis is threatening this dream to become true. Love your channels! Keep the absolutely fantastic side up.
Абракадабра Кобра [25% & 9%] Oh you will have a chance to fly the Queen. There are still some airline that flies the Queen.
You should look primarily at cargo operators then. Large aircraft usually retain their value much better for them than cargo airliners.
@@roaminginthought9210 I'd like one more time on one too and there's still a chance because of the huge drop in fuel costs and their cargo capacity even in passenger form.
Nick Um... Not the A380...
They were cool and I miss them every time I buckle up in a cramped soulless 777. In 1969 I once flew LHR SFO on a 707 320C an a/c that had soul but cramped doesn't begin to describe 8 hours in that thing.
I don’t know if you guys have ever done any other Collabs, but you are my two favorite aviation channels by far and I’m not into aviation, other than having flown remote control planes and helicopters as a kid and adult, and always loved the commercial jets the bigger, the better Anyway love your channels, more collaborations please !
Omg !!! Another crossover!! Yay!!!! Just made my day !!! ❤️❤️
I'm not into flying but for some reason, I started binging Mentour and 74 Gear.. It was a delight to sett this meetup after watching 100 videos
I live near the Boeing plant in Everett (the big one that holds the record for largest building by volume). I honestly hadn't realized until I scrolled down and read someone else's comment, but... Yeah, the Dream Lifters aren't taking off or landing here for the past few weeks. Usually, there's at LEAST a few a month. You can tell when a Dream Lifter is landing because the engines are so much louder than other jets. Crazy that I kinda miss the bone-rattling behemoths...
Two have been on the ground in Charleston for 1 month and I saw one is in Taiwan and another in Japan. They've hardly flown at all.
One went to Hong Kong a couple of days ago 🤩
Awesome collab.. Its always getting better each time. 🥳
I just watched this and that was really interesting to hear about the differences! I just want to wish you both well in this strange times and hope your lives can get back to normal soon! Take care! Good luck with it as I live in France and it is in total lockdown too! However it has to be done for all our safety!
Great collab. Petter you ask the best questions.
"another 2 weeks at least" - man I hope Petter can look back and laugh at those words nearly a year later rather than cry!
Funny thing is that the Dream lifter looks a lot like the Airforce/NASA Guppy. My uncle designed the original guppy in order to transport various rocket segment/stages. My uncle XXXXXX designed many aircraft and ICBM's among others during his Airforce tenure.
When you really start digging into everything going into IFR flight, it just cascades into different fields of science.
I was already guessing you're an instructor just from the way you break down and teach stuff (thank you!).
It will take me a while before I get back in MSFS2020 - I'm still just one week into binging on all your videos!
1:27 "Did you need to take any special licence to fly cargo?" Well, you need extended Dangerous Goods Training to handle Cargo Aircraft Only items.
3:15 "How does a turn-around look for you?" I have done "hot turns" on cargo (land, taxi in, leave one engine running while you throw out one or two boxes, and take on one or two) taxi out and take off. That was on a light jet cargo operation. Mind you - I've done that with passenger operations as well when the APU was broken and there wasn't any ground power. Sometimes we had three hours to wait - in the middle of the night so the only thing open was a taxi-driver's burger joint so we would wait there. Flying cargo operations for an airline, we got cold catering (sandwich & fruit platter).
