    Another home run! I enjoyed the airline humor. True story, I recently was working on one of my jets, and got to talking with a new hire first officer. He was a former F-18 driver, just left the Navy. He still had the navy spirit, referred to me as a "Maintainer." And, the icing on the cake was, he called me "Sir!"
    First time an officer called me sir, lol. Didn't get a salute however but still a good chuckle.
    Fly Navy!

    Each time we drive home, I put my “Growler Jam” voice on and arrive home doing the same thing.
    We laugh, and still have respect for all airmen (and women) as we approach our home counting down to ‘Touchdown on our driveway’
    As we reverse to park the car, we often put our hands on the dashboard and do a Growler and say “slowly as we park”
    Peace, Love and Respect to you all x

    As a retired airline pilot with over 32000+ hours of flying time, you made one mistake. You said you were told to cross the hold short line and pause, well you stopped about 30 feet from the spot you should have crossed. 😂 You should have crossed that double solid yellow line and then stopped. With every part of your aircraft passed that solid yellow line. Your holding on the wrong side of the hold line and that could possibly be a violation. And just to make sure I was correct, I showed my wife who is a retired air traffic controller and tower chief manager. As I pointed it out to her, she said, yah, we have a big problem there. Hope you learned something. I love all your videos and voice overs. Great video. Keep them coming. Capt Ben.

    Ok..one more.
    Our flight demo team is going to perform at the Grand Junction airshow. (Featuring the Thunderbirds). Its Friday practice day and the Canadian Super Hornet demo team as well as the USN Super Hornet are scheduled to perform on Saturday. After practice ( the USN team had not arrived yet) the commander of the Canadian team was the featured speaker at the performers cook out dinner on the ramp. When it was his turn to speak, he got about 5 words out when the USN 2 ship came roaring into the overhead, pitched out and made about 4 or 5 low approaches. The speaker just gave up and said.."Ladies and Gentlemen, your United States Navy"
    The timing was too perfect to be a coincidence..

Have learned how to use all the various weapons systems. I study all your videos for details I may have missed (not many). Nothing like doing it for real, though.
