Great fly! Have you heard Delta, United, and Air Canada modified their flight schedules from July 2 to July 4th to assist with the evacuations because of Hurricane Beryl?
I was watching Independence Day and now, I'm watching your Super-Fantabulous video. What is with Jeff Goldblum's need to go faster? He says this in Jurassic Park (must go faster), Again on ID (Go, go, go, go, GO) and once again in The Lost World where he tells Julianne Moore "increase your rate of climb". That's right up there with Arnold Schwarznegger saying "I'll be back" in other movies after The Terminator. Anyhow, another fine video on your part. And now, it's time for me to go watch General Hospital. Yep, Ava Jerome is in BIG trouble now!! And Natalia REALLY screwed up.
Thanks for watching my friend! I visited Singapore for a few days about year or so ago. It was an awesome place, but boy was I not used to the heat haha.
Well, it's a bit of a long story so I'll try to shorten it up. I graduated college with two bachelor degrees in 2012. One in Airport Management and the other in Aviation Management. I then spent 6 years working for Envoy Air and American Airlines before getting a job with the City of Joplin, Missouri as an aircraft rescue firefighter and airport operations specialist. The latter being more in my education's wheelhouse. That said, the 6 years I spent with Envoy/American was super fun. I had flight benefits and my wife and I flew all over the place for free. It was "the good old days" before kids and all kinds of other adult stuff haha. Well, during that time at American, in 2015, I started this channel. At the time it wasn't even called Skylite Productions. It was still just my name and I started uploaded takeoff and landing clips just for fun. I love aviation, commercial aviation, and traveling. So, I started recording like 5-15 minute clips and uploading them on here. I almost marked them all private as I really just intended for it to be a logbook of my flying. I honestly didn't think other people would even watch them haha. Well, turns out other did want to watch them. The channel wasn't even monetized back then and I don't think I got my first check from UA-cam for ad revenue payments until 2019. So for 4 solid years, it was literally just something I was doing for myself and for fun. Well, after I left American and got the job with the City of Joplin is when I monetized the channel. See, before then I was flying for free. Which was great on the wallet, but came with some strings attached. It was very clear in the American Airlines non-rev rules that you were not to "profit" in any way from you flight benefits and you were to use them for personal use only. So, that's why I'd never monetized any of my content. Well, once I left America and didn't see myself ever going back since I had really only worked there for the flight benefits, I then monetized the channel. It took UA-cam over a year to then approve the channel. So it was January-ish of 2018 before I was even eligible to earn ad revenues. But the channel was still pretty small then. I mean I don't remember how big it was, but I wasn't even pulling in enough money per month to meet UA-cam's minimum payout amount. In 2019 that changed though. I took American's last MD-80 flight and I also had a flight with a crazy turbulent approach, and another with a mechanical emergency landing. Those three things happening so close together kind of rocketed my channel up and it was then that I got my first check from UA-cam. It was a whole $134. Not much, but hey. I was now 3 years removed from free flight benefits so I'd been pumping a considerable amount of money into the channel those 3 years. I mean, everything you've seen on here since January of 2017 I have paid for out of my own pocket. So I was thrilled to get anything haha. Fast forward to today and the channel has slowly grown every year, and in January of 2022 I left my job at the city to run this channel full time. The ad revenues I get from UA-cam now pay for most of my flights. So, as you can see, it was a long road to get to that point, and it was never something I planned. It all just kind of happened because I had a passion and I was just happy to share it online with others. Now, I'm by no means pulling in tons of money haha. This is all still a carefully budgeted affair every month, but I'm pleasantly surprised with the course everything has taken. I never thought my diplomas would be in a box in my closet and I'd be filming flights all over the world with iPhones, but that's where I am now. So, the TLDR version is that this channel is now the reason why I fly so much and how I pay for the majority of it. You know, uploading a new video every day requires a lot of flying haha.
No, but I do consider MCI to be a "home" airport. I live in Southeast Kansas, near Joplin, Missouri. So JLN is technically the closest airport to me that has commercial service, but I often drive up to MCI simply because of the options it offers.

I loved how the flight attendant got everyone's attention when he was going to do the safety demonstration.
Loved all of your videos. The southwest one are my favorites. Get him to 1 million before the end of the year.
I absolutely enjoy your videos, they help me to reduce my stress and anxiety, blood pressure, etc. You are probably saving peoples lives LOL!😄
I'm glad they're able to help that way my friend. Many people have left similar comments, so you're definitely not alone.
Southwest is taxiing extra fast in this one 😂
Don’t they always? 😅
Great fly! Have you heard Delta, United, and Air Canada modified their flight schedules from July 2 to July 4th to assist with the evacuations because of Hurricane Beryl?
I did hear that, yes. Hopefully they can help get as many people out of the storms way as possible.
Great video, as always1
I tried that Lagunitas IPA beer on a flight recently, been buying it ever since. It is SO good!
I'll have to remember that for next time! I've never tried it!
DCA is such an awesome airport
2:01:59 "welcome to cancun", good one 🤣🤣

I suppose it’s relative. Because the days are still pretty good now 😂
What equipment are you using to shoot😊😊
It's under the description on every video. iPhone 14 Pro.
I film everything you see on here with iPhones. Currently 14 Pros.
Do you live in Kansas City
No, but I do consider MCI to be a "home" airport. I live in Southeast Kansas, near Joplin, Missouri. So JLN is technically the closest airport to me that has commercial service, but I often drive up to MCI simply because of the options it offers.
