"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...
@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.
That's really funny! Animate vs. inanimate cargo.
I think it was Kelsey who remarked in one of his videos, "Cargo seldom complains."
@@robertabarnhart6240 But when a Li-battery goes full Karen - oh boy….
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.
Haha 😂
I’m a simple man. I see Kelsey. I see Petter. I click!
And we appreciate that!
YES !!
@@MentourPilot to be 100% perfect the only one missing is Captain Joe. It's about time to see my 3 favourite UA-cam pilots together.
Joaquim Gonçalves Ah, I see. You speak of the Holy Trinity
Agreed
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.
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!
tjfSIM totally agree!!!
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. 👍
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.
in east europe normally you wait 10 - 11hrs now just write at least a day off or 2.
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."
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.
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 soon as I heard "Kelsey from 74 Gear", I smashed the Like button. Would've done anyway, but this made it much faster. :)
As a retired USAF C130 Loadmaster, we referred to PAX as SLB (Self Loading Baggage), pure cargo was always easier.
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.
Could be a LIVE interview coming up!
@@MentourPilot better a podcast than live, just a personal choice 😁
@@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 😁
@@theRk1300 😂 Thank you for the clarification 😘
2 redheads, 2 amazing personalities, 2 of my personal favourite aviation youtubers, 2 legends!
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...)
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!
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 " 😂😂
I apparently watch too many videos... Mentour asked Kelsey where he was, I looked at the hotel room and said "L.A."
When you said Kelsey was gonna be on here, I actually screamed "YES"! I love that guy
Two different personnalities and channels approaches but two very informative and knowledgeable guys. Loved to see them together interviewing.
Really enjoy you and Kelsey getting together and discussing flying. Thank you both.
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.
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!
ayyy I love this collab! Id love to see you guys do more collabing! You guys are my 2 favorite avi youtubers!
We need a space shuttle pilot/ airline pilot collaboration.
I will see what I can do
@@MentourPilot Orbital pilots at altitude have no excuse for "clear air turbulence".
@@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.
an astronaut would be interesting
@@MentourPilot dutchpilotgirl?
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.
Yes they should! 25 minutes' turnaround time between flights is too short!
I love these videos with Kelsey on them. Two interesting guys!
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 🙂
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...
If Captain Joe joined in, it would the best day ever. The TRIFECTA.
And duchpilotgirl
I remember him saying Joe doesn't like collaboration
@@SF-li9kh Joe's done a few with dutchpilotgirl. That said, as a normal 747 freighter FO he's probably busier than ever.
@@cjmillsnun he doesnt want a sausage party lol
Joe did a collaboration with Pilotemilie.. think the dude is just too busy, he flies cargo too
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.
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!
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.
Thank you both for this nice talking!
I'm really looking forward seeing Petter flying again
Excellent episode. Thank you. I also watch Kelsey's channel. Both of you are great.
Thanks!! I’ll forward that to him
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!
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.
I enjoyed your goal of to be old and tell stories. I am 82 years old and my memory has gotten so good I can remember things that didn’t even happen.
Not sure if it’s the natural light or the casual attire, but MentourPilot is looking fine! 👌
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 **********
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.
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.
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!
Awwww.... it’s so adorable when he said they’ll be grounded for at least 2 more weeks.
I feel with you guys, really, but this made me chuckle.
If (Captain Joe + Dutchpilotgirl + Pilot Kelsey +
Mentour Pilot ) make video together ,It will be absolutely fantastic.
Imagine being on a flight and all of them on the flight deck 😎
@@Tsheed1 …and a flight attendant stuck in the overhead bin !
I love both of your channels and I'm really glad to see the two of you collaborating! Please do it again if the opportunity arises.
Love these collabs with Kelsey!
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... 🤔
Two of my favourite youtubers :) thank you guys
this shuts the mouth of the people calling kelsey a fake pilot, we love you @74Gear
My favorite collaboration out there! Thanks for this video. Keep up the great work!
Been following both you and Kelsey for a good while now. Absolutely love both your channel's content. Keep doing the amazing work you've been doing.
Great video as always, I love when you pair up w Kelsey, your my only 2 aviation channels
What about cpt joe?

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.
Passengers are just cargo that judges you and complains lol. At least they're mostly self loading!
@@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!
I am glad you did this collaboration. Both of your channels are absolutely fantastic.
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.
Cool! My 2 favorite aviation UA-camrs collaboration!!!
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! 🙂👍
There’s nothing more enjoyable than listening to 2 interesting people talking about their work.
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.
I think it’s great that you two can collaborate. I really enjoy subscribing to both your channels. Thank you for all you do.
"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!
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 !
This is the best! Always wanted 74 Gear to do a hook up with Mentour Pilot.
Do what now?
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
Love when my two favorite Pilots get together thanks keep up the good work
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.....
Such a cool combo. I have no interesting in aviation and yet you two plus Joe, plus Dutchpilotgirl are my favorite channel these days
Thanks!
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.
My two favorite pilots together. I don't fly but I am subscribed to both of these channels.
Can't help but smile when I see those two 'together' again. Fantastic ^^
Two of my favorite pilots, no way I would pass this video by!! You guys are awesome...fly safe! 🛩✈️🛫
I love it when you are collaborating with each other! 🤩
Now I know why your videos have been recommended to me, because I’ve been watching Kelsey
Love to see Kelsey on your videos, he's such a nice chap! xx
So it's been 2 years since this was posted (today it's 4/25/2022 and this was posted on 4/21/2020). Time flies when you're having fun. Great guys.
I really enjoy this collaboration between you two guys..... this... is ....awesome !!! :D
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

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.
Awesome collaboration. Love both of your channels. Thanks for being awesome.
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!
A nice perspective from another part of aviation. Good stuff.
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!
Good job, you two! Interesting times we are in. Was the only aircraft in an entire ATCC enroute sector (SLCC) last week. Did 2 radio checks just make sure we didn’t out fly our VHF communications with them. Got cleared directly to the IAF, and for the approach, and to land in Class B airspace from the same controller upon initial hand-off! Prefer cargo. The ride is only rough when you can’t drink your coffee.
*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 😜
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!
Cool collaboration, Petter/Kelsey. My friend is a retired FedEx captain that had some baby chicks get loose on the tarmac and transported some camels once and said that was the worst smelling flight he's ever had. He's got great stories just like you guys.
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!! :)
Awesome collab.. Its always getting better each time. 🥳
Covid has made me seriously consider becoming a cargo pilot for my whole career. This video gave a lot of insight
Mentour Pilot and Kelsey. What an episode ! Thank you . Two awesome guys to learn from.
You guys are both great teachers and love watching your channels. I'm happy to see this collaboration. Take care guys.
I am a retired cargo pilot. this was a great episode. Just love you and Kelsey yall are the best!
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 video you two, found you both in the past couple months and love the different spins on a variety of aviation topics :) Keep up the great work.
The Dreamlifter looks like a 747 suffering from a severe seafood allergy reaction.
My favorite UA-cam pilots together. Love it! Thanks guys!
