gah! it's so weird having someone appreciate the work we do. especially a pilot. us aircraft mechanics usually stay the unsung heroes of aviation since everyone seems to forget us.
I think it's because people feel that anyone could do that but not anyone can be a pilot etc, 🤷🏻♀️ And probably a nice classy looking uniform would help too 😂😂
I remember flying into Buenos Aires, Argentina in the 80s on an American carrier. As soon as the plane’s wheels touched the runway, everyone jumped up and got their bags. The stewardesses tried in vain to get them to sit down. When the pilot got to the gate he slammed on the brakes so all the people standing went to the floor. I know he did it on purpose. It was very funny.
I’m guilty of this. I don’t know why. I think I just want t0 stretch my back. I even tell myself I still have to WAIT for my luggage and yet my first impulse is to STAND UP!!!!!!
Next thing i find, it could be a gawkin astronaut. A Holocaust survivor, even! While i like this new trend, i'm unsure of how many of these will exist.
So damn true !!!!! But that's why we always approach higher than necessary so we can close the speedbrake to gain some more distance (to avoid landing on top of someone?) :D
Valentin Jaster you can go around in a glider, especially a fiberglass one.. you close the dive brakes, nose over to redline, skim in ground effect, and you’ll have enough energy to either go to the end, pull up, do a teardrop and land the opposite direction, or even make a downwind and come back the same direction..
"People who stand up as soon as the plane lands" - the best announcement I ever heard was while we were taxying in and the chief steward (or whatever they're called!) said "Due to a staff shortage we need volunteers to help clean out the cabin before the next flight. It will take less than two hours. To volunteer for this please stand up and start retrieving your luggage from the overhead bins before we stop at the gate!" *Nobody* stood up until we were told we could!
My son had this happen in New Jersey. Mechanical problem, flight delayed while replacement part was flown in on another flight. Woman at the gate/ticket counter was giving out meal vouchers & getting a lot of verbal abuse. When my son got up to her she was apologizing for the delay. He stated quite loudly that he rather get on an airworthy plane, than be involved in a plane crash & he knew it wasn't her fault & couldn't believe how rude people were treating her & told her, "Thank you ma'am." He said everyone quieted down after that & she gave him 2 meal vouchers.
G'day Kelsey, Back in the mid 80s I was in the US and had to take a small Piedmont Airlines aircraft to some little airfield in Virginia. There was one cabin stewardess and one pilot. The flight wasn't very long but soon after take-off we encountered significant CAT that shook us around so badly that half way through the flight the stewardess had to cancel drink and food service. She strapped into her jump seat and endured the turbulence with us as it got worse and worse; by this time, we were flying through a full-blown thunderstorm. It was a long time ago so I forget the aircraft type but it was only a 40 or 50-seater and probably couldn't get on top of the bad weather. Anyway, we made it to our destination and I must say the pilot did an excellent job with only a 4 or 5 point landing with really high winds and lots of yaw. I was on business and I had several carry-on bags with me (no real restrictions back then) so I let everyone else get off the aircraft so that I could get all my bags together. I sat back down again and saw I left a smaller bag under the seat next to me so I was bent down, out of view. While I was down there, I heard the cockpit door open and a male voice (the pilot's) say something like, "Holy sh*t, I never want to do that again! I nearly lost it all, several times...". He was talking to the stewardess at the rear galley and from his point of view his aircraft had no passengers on-board. Then my head pops up, I stand up collecting my bags and the pilot, bless him, added, "Oh, err, um, but it wasn't really all that bad...", at which point he rapidly retreated back into the cockpit and quickly shut the door. As I left the aircraft the, red-faced, stewardess almost whispered to me, "Ah, I hope you enjoyed your flight...". I got down the stairs and laughed all the way to the terminal. I had been through much worse in my AIr Force days. It was a landing we all walked away from so, to me, it was just perfect! Cheers, BH.

As a mechanic, the no sleep meme hits close to home. On top of what you pointed out, aircraft maintenance takes place over night a lot of times since that's the only time they aren't flying. That means lots of night and graveyard shifts which take a while to get used to.
"Hows your first solo" LOL thats so true. I can do this, I'm so ready... Lined up on the runway, thinking "What am I doing, I'm not ready for this..." while pushing the throttle to the firewall...
Richard J I did my first solo as a glider pilot meaning that as soon as I gave the “all out” command to the wing runner to signal the tow plane, I was committed. My first solo went off without a hitch though
@@Matsumoto77 same story with me. I'm in air cadets, Northwest region, so not sure about you, but Gimli was quite the time. I'm going for my power this year.
You should do a video on why airlines use different planes on different routes, and explain why they chose certain planes for certain routes! Just a suggestion!
4:05 It reminds me of when Kennedy Steve at (duh!) JFK ground told a Qantas a380 "Qantas 12 super, after the single engine Cessna, continue on Bravo, caution propwash" or something like that! :))))) That recording is here, in youtube.
Update: So, I used that line on my wife.. Im now typing this comment from my brand new house.. It's a fairly small, super thin cardboard box, Under an Overpass.. It's small,flimsy, and a bit drafty.. But, the view isn't bad... 😂😂😂
Being a person, who’s about to graduate med school and become doctor in few months, I can totally relate to “I’ am a Pilot” Glad to find it’s not just us 😆 I really enjoy your channel! Would love to see a video about some medical emergencies on-board!
“Where are y’all going” 😂😂... My dad and I use to wait till most everyone was off the plane before getting up. Like you said no need to be in a rush, you’re not going anywhere till the people in front move. No need to just stand there waiting for the line to move, might as well sit & relax.
Hey kelsey, really enjoy your sight. I live just Northwest of sfo. Planes taking off from the runway 28 go right over the house. I've been here 50 years and love the aircraft. Thanks for the kind comments about the mechanics and the hard work they do. I'm not an aircraft mechanic I'm not smart enough I am a heavy duty truck mechanic and just appreciate the comments you made
5:20 the only time when you race off the jet, is when you land in the US and want to get past immigration before the crowd reaches checkpoint. Waited 2 hours....
You make me wanna get a PPL and cheer me up big time dude. My dad took us up in an BN Islander as kids (first flight ever for me and my siblings). They build them about 20 miles away (or did do) from where I live on the mainland ie) The Isle of Wight UK ! Go easy, and merci beaucoup!
One of the worst experiences I have had was when my family and I were coming home from Crete. Half of the computers were down at the airport meaning everyone had to check in at one part of the airport but check their bags at the other end, this caused massive delays. Planes were coming in faster than they were leaving. Long story short it was over two hours before we even got a gate number and another hour before the plane was ready.
I remember one late foggy night departure from FRA in a C 182 and we got to the runway just in front of an Airbus 320 and the controller kinda sounded apologetic to the airliner, after which the pilot responded ‘just give the little guy all the time and space that he needs’. 😂
I like how you're serious about the technical stuff of flying...but I like how you mix the humorous things about the meanies and little weenies comments. Keep it up..that makes it fun.
That's (not) comforting. Time to petition your union. That should be illegal. I know it is for the rest of the flight crew. Is it true that mechanics don't "time out"?
I truly appreciate that you take time to describe why that meme is funny to those of us whose knowledge only comes from plane crash investigation documentaries! My mother worked at TVC as a Line Service Technician for several years; which was the first interest I took into the aviation industry; though my knowledge is limited. Ever fly into TVC? If you're a 747 pilot, I can assume probably not, as our airport is so little. The only time we took in any big aircraft was 9/11.
74 Gear. I love your videos. I just subbed while watching this one. I love aviation and have studied it for years. Even book studying and instruction from a pilot for possible future flight school. Then I had a stemi heart attack at 44. On my third cardiac arrest I was dead for over 6 minutes. I woke up the next month with the bottom 10% of my heart dead. Knowing I couldn't pass Meds 1,2, or 3 I now sim fly very seriously. I have almost 200 hours flying a 738 from cold and dark, FMC programming, and IFR flight planning etc. Watching you have fun with flying, and good hearted nature keeps me interested. Thanks for your videos. Keep them coming.
6:45 when it comes to technicians most civilian air carriers/ part 145 have 12+ hour work days for 3 - 4 days and then 3 - 4 days off, its not the best system but it works
The trash thing. So, I tend to always sit in a certain area of the plane where it seems I'm always last to get my meal. The bag to collect trash feels like it comes before I have even started eating. So then I'm stuck with my garbage for awhile until I work up the nerve to ask a flight attendant to take it. I feel bad about it. haha
Hello from Canada. I am a light sport airplane pilot, for two years now. I've been watching your channel and I have to give you kudos for your ability to sound like we are talking to each other at the airport. Pilot to Pilot. You do not talk down to us, you are self-deprecating , and you are clearly full of enthusiasm for flight! Out of the many channels that I've been following, yours is the most personable! Good job keep up the work.
Hahahaha yet again another funny video!! I can’t wait to see what you have in the works I am so happy I found this channel 74 crew is the the best !!!!
Love this channel! The big little pic reminds me of the time I flew a c-152 into KCGV. Chart said it was Class C and had flown into Class C at KPIA many time to prob. Well KCGV is a very different class c with a lot of airline traffic. The approach and landing were interesting but the next day on departure I was in fact the guy (small plane) squeezed between a number of airliners taxiing out 😱😆
As a mechanic, in the Air Force, I agree with this. If there are a lot of broke planes, we work overtime, to get them back in the air. And we didn't get overtime pay. But I enjoyed every minute of it. Some of the jobs were so unique, that after 4 years, I only did that specific job, once.🤣
Being a former fueler, mechanics have the biggest hissy fits over the tiniest things... See a panel about to fall off, call it in, mech comes out as if he just got out of bed mumbling and grumbling, looks at panel, says it's nothing and gets pissed off he had to come out...
Man I remember when you had 30k subs you've gotten so far like 154k subs I love your waiting for your vids daily And a question.... is it possible to fail flight school
Here are a few reasons why I immediately get my carry-on bag right after the plane lands: 1) To make sure I get it down before other passengers shift it some where else 2) To make sure no one takes my bag by mistake. 3) To put the book, console, jacket etc back into my bag in case I forget them on the plane
HAHAHAHA! the "I'm a pilot" thing is HYSTERICAL, mainly because the IT guy in my office is also a pilot with the Civil Air Patrol and he loves to tell all of the new employees that he is a pilot, especially the females. He will generally tell them within the first one or two days of their employment. LOL
Very good job on this video, I personally thought that the one with the C150 was the funniest as I have heard many times people say something that sounds better, but really isn’t.
First time here and I'm already looking forward to checking out more of your vids. I may not be a pilot, and I may hate flying, but one thing I love for sure is learning new things, and I'm excited to learn from a cool fella like you! ^w^
Guy at museum: you can't takeoff and land in this simulator 10 year-old me: is that a challenge Also 10 year old me: takes off loops around land and repeat
I remember when i flew to London for the first time and everyone was jumping up and trying to get their stuff while the flight attendants told them to sit down. I was one of the few that keppt seated till we were at the gate. I had a window seat so no stress. I literatly waited till 90 % of the people were off before i grabed my bag and walked out of the plane totally relaxed. One flight attendant looked at me and said "At least there are some people left that have a certain level of modesty" I will never understand why they are all in such a rush... you will have to wait at least 10 minutes at the baggage claim area anyway so why such a hurry?
"We may need to brake quickly when taxiing the aircraft..." Kelsey, YES...BRAKE DELIBERATELY HARD.. PLEASE.. and get the cabin crew to chant "Told you so!" :) Actually no,. someone would probably succeed in suing the airline out of business and you out of a job... :( :(. No one believes in "character-building" these days...
As an A&P I appreciate your comments. As for the trash, when we remove cabin items, seats, sidewalls, galleys and lav’s, it amazes me where people can hide their trash. Wads of chewing gum on seat frames YUCK. Liking your channel.
Love the Simulator Pilot one. Reminded me of Snakes on a Plane and realized that's exactly how most flight simmers react when people call it a "video game" (including myself) 😂 Speaking of, you should do a Hollywood vs Reality for that movie.
We were taxiing into the gate at Atlanta after a LOOONG trans Atlantic flight. Everyone stood up as we were pulling in to the gate and for some reason, the pilot had to jam on the brakes. Almost everyone who was standing up wound up on the floor. The FA came on and basically said, "That's why we tell you to say seated until..." That was in the early 80's and the passengers were pretty embarrassed. I can only imagine how they would react now. Probably threaten a lawsuit though they were violating federal law.
As someone who often stands up as soon as the plane stops. I'm not going anywhere, I'm stretching. I've been in my seat the whole flight. I know I'm not getting off the plane any sooner, I just need to uncramp my legs for a bit.
The things you say about working your way up is relevant to all work situations. Trade work, computer science, even physical medicine. It doesn't matter, you have to have the proper mind set to achieve greatness in any field.
Kelsey: "Pilots just have the tendency to tell people we're a pilot because we're proud of it." Me: *laughs in firefighter* (No hate, this is obviously just for jokes. Keep up the good work Kelsey.)
Dear Kelsey, great video. One thing though, about trash in airplane... I usually pickup my trash and carry with me out of airplane. Why I don't leave it with flight attendants? Well, they just storm the isle not giving me chance to hand over the trash. I'm pretty sure people who leave trash do that (beside being rude) in protest for flight attendants ignoring passengers' trash.
9:33: When telling people what you do, its met with awe. Being a Pilot is very impressive, its a skill that is hard to borrow. Now, when people ask me and i reluctantly say I'm in IT (Computers) they rub their hands together and prepare for the free shit! support 24/7 and the supposed free software us IT pros can produce out our arse. Ive since become a garbage man for conversational reasons ;)
I've been stuck in C-172 with Jetliners ahead and behind me before. You just have to hope that the guy ahead of you doesn't rev up their engines too much and that the tower gives you that intersection departure you asked about.
The photo of the small plane in front of the large plane reminds me of one of the ATC recording vids telling a heavy to use caution while taxiing from a cub that was before them...
I had this experience where, I landed on Bangalore, the plane is taxiing, I have a window and I'm not going anywhere. A random uncle gets up, attendants warn him, opens the overhead bin, the plane brakes and makes a sharp turn, he falls over with three bags hitting him on his head. Everyone giggles and he got some stares like nobody else.
I have a part time job as a cleaner inside airplanes. What you say is absolutely true about people leaving their trash behind, it's rather annoying. I wonder how their homes looks like. Chips on the floor, empty cups, sometimes not empty cups, and just a lot of trash in general. Passengers don't realize how shitty it sometimes looks like just before they are boarding!
gah! it's so weird having someone appreciate the work we do. especially a pilot. us aircraft mechanics usually stay the unsung heroes of aviation since everyone seems to forget us.
As do the cleaners, we’re always forgotten. As do other ground crew teams.
I think it's because people feel that anyone could do that but not anyone can be a pilot etc, 🤷🏻♀️
And probably a nice classy looking uniform would help too 😂😂

Gold Jerry Pure Gold!
ya I thought that was a good one too!
Are they saying that they believe that a Flight Attendant is a Coke Machine?
Robert Phillips that’s the way I understood it
I like how you're serious about the technical stuff of flying...but I like how you mix the humorous things about the meanies and little weenies comments. Keep it up..that makes it fun.
"I thought you were a pilot!"
Sim Pilot: "I work remotely, duh."
One day they will come up with virtual cabin crew and virtual passengers.

As a pilot...you're as good as the best..and better than the rest. I wish I was one. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us fans.
Haha! This brightened my morning.Thanks for the positive message at the end. I’m getting ready for my 7th flight lesson later on today.
As a mechanic, I have spent many times over 24h, and a few over 76 hrs, sleeping on the chairs.
That's (not) comforting. Time to petition your union. That should be illegal. I know it is for the rest of the flight crew. Is it true that mechanics don't "time out"?
Yeayyyy!!!! Aviation Memes!!!!! Finally you Made it again Kelsey!!!!
Thanks for the comeback!!!
Hope you enjoy them all Pan Am!
I truly appreciate that you take time to describe why that meme is funny to those of us whose knowledge only comes from plane crash investigation documentaries! My mother worked at TVC as a Line Service Technician for several years; which was the first interest I took into the aviation industry; though my knowledge is limited. Ever fly into TVC? If you're a 747 pilot, I can assume probably not, as our airport is so little. The only time we took in any big aircraft was 9/11.
Just started to watch the video, love it already! :D
thanks Denise, I really appreciate it!
74 Gear. I love your videos. I just subbed while watching this one.
I love aviation and have studied it for years. Even book studying and instruction from a pilot for possible future flight school. Then I had a stemi heart attack at 44. On my third cardiac arrest I was dead for over 6 minutes. I woke up the next month with the bottom 10% of my heart dead. Knowing I couldn't pass Meds 1,2, or 3 I now sim fly very seriously. I have almost 200 hours flying a 738 from cold and dark, FMC programming, and IFR flight planning etc.
Watching you have fun with flying, and good hearted nature keeps me interested. Thanks for your videos. Keep them coming.
6:45 when it comes to technicians most civilian air carriers/ part 145 have 12+ hour work days for 3 - 4 days and then 3 - 4 days off, its not the best system but it works
It has come to me roaming about in the house saying "coming up" in kelsey's tone
This moment when you watch "Pilot reacts to aviation memes" only to find good aviation memes...
ya, well send me some good ones on IG that you find!
We're the Millers definitely a great movie! Love the videos, I only learned about you recently been playing catch-up all weekend!
You should do a review of those trashy sims you find on the app store plz
No. He is not doing it
@@Likeusb1 why so?
@@vandanayadav1340 it is mostly due to him:
A) Being not a gaming channel
B) Another youtuber does it too.
Minty lol
Swiss001 doses
The trash thing. So, I tend to always sit in a certain area of the plane where it seems I'm always last to get my meal. The bag to collect trash feels like it comes before I have even started eating. So then I'm stuck with my garbage for awhile until I work up the nerve to ask a flight attendant to take it. I feel bad about it. haha
Again nice video. Please make a lot of episodes. You are really good guy!
glad you enjoy them DJ, thanks for watching.
Hello from Canada. I am a light sport airplane pilot, for two years now. I've been watching your channel and I have to give you kudos for your ability to sound like we are talking to each other at the airport. Pilot to Pilot. You do not talk down to us, you are self-deprecating , and you are clearly full of enthusiasm for flight! Out of the many channels that I've been following, yours is the most personable! Good job keep up the work.
Hahahaha yet again another funny video!! I can’t wait to see what you have in the works I am so happy I found this channel 74 crew is the the best !!!!
Me who flies a Volmer VJ-22 amphibian/ evans volksplane: sad general aviation pilot noises
Hey Kelsey, great video as always. Have you ever tried any of those simulators? You could throw out your, "I'm a pilot" for real! Thanks
Love this channel!
The big little pic reminds me of the time I flew a c-152 into KCGV. Chart said it was Class C and had flown into Class C at KPIA many time to prob. Well KCGV is a very different class c with a lot of airline traffic. The approach and landing were interesting but the next day on departure I was in fact the guy (small plane) squeezed between a number of airliners taxiing out 😱😆
Airport 1975 with Charleton Heston- would love to see a Hollywood vs Reality on that movie.
As a mechanic, in the Air Force, I agree with this. If there are a lot of broke planes, we work overtime, to get them back in the air. And we didn't get overtime pay. But I enjoyed every minute of it. Some of the jobs were so unique, that after 4 years, I only did that specific job, once.🤣
@5:13 I knew you were going to say South America haha, same experience I had!
Being a former fueler, mechanics have the biggest hissy fits over the tiniest things... See a panel about to fall off, call it in, mech comes out as if he just got out of bed mumbling and grumbling, looks at panel, says it's nothing and gets pissed off he had to come out...
Man I remember when you had 30k subs you've gotten so far like 154k subs I love your waiting for your vids daily
And a question.... is it possible to fail flight school
Here are a few reasons why I immediately get my carry-on bag right after the plane lands:
1) To make sure I get it down before other passengers shift it some where else
2) To make sure no one takes my bag by mistake.
3) To put the book, console, jacket etc back into my bag in case I forget them on the plane
Yay i watched this on 747 views! Great video Kelsey
awesome, thanks for watching Mark!
HAHAHAHA! the "I'm a pilot" thing is HYSTERICAL, mainly because the IT guy in my office is also a pilot with the Civil Air Patrol and he loves to tell all of the new employees that he is a pilot, especially the females. He will generally tell them within the first one or two days of their employment. LOL
Very good job on this video, I personally thought that the one with the C150 was the funniest as I have heard many times people say something that sounds better, but really isn’t.
The C-130-150 lol made me think of the De Havilland Comets, DH88 and DH108
The first plane I ever got to fly was a c150. Sadly, eyes aren't good enough to get a license.
First time here and I'm already looking forward to checking out more of your vids. I may not be a pilot, and I may hate flying, but one thing I love for sure is learning new things, and I'm excited to learn from a cool fella like you! ^w^
Guy at museum: you can't takeoff and land in this simulator
10 year-old me: is that a challenge
Also 10 year old me: takes off loops around land and repeat
I remember when i flew to London for the first time and everyone was jumping up and trying to get their stuff while the flight attendants told them to sit down.
I was one of the few that keppt seated till we were at the gate. I had a window seat so no stress. I literatly waited till 90 % of the people were off before i grabed my bag and walked out of the plane totally relaxed.
One flight attendant looked at me and said "At least there are some people left that have a certain level of modesty"
I will never understand why they are all in such a rush... you will have to wait at least 10 minutes at the baggage claim area anyway so why such a hurry?
"We may need to brake quickly when taxiing the aircraft..." Kelsey, YES...BRAKE DELIBERATELY HARD.. PLEASE.. and get the cabin crew to chant "Told you so!" :) Actually no,. someone would probably succeed in suing the airline out of business and you out of a job... :( :(. No one believes in "character-building" these days...
As an A&P I appreciate your comments. As for the trash, when we remove cabin items, seats, sidewalls, galleys and lav’s, it amazes me where people can hide their trash. Wads of chewing gum on seat frames YUCK.
Liking your channel.
ROTFL! Thanks for the funnies, Kelsey! You really made my weekend.
Love the Simulator Pilot one. Reminded me of Snakes on a Plane and realized that's exactly how most flight simmers react when people call it a "video game" (including myself) 😂 Speaking of, you should do a Hollywood vs Reality for that movie.
9:34 had me in stitches! I know a couple of those guys hahaha
I think everyone knows a couple of those guys 😆
We were taxiing into the gate at Atlanta after a LOOONG trans Atlantic flight. Everyone stood up as we were pulling in to the gate and for some reason, the pilot had to jam on the brakes. Almost everyone who was standing up wound up on the floor. The FA came on and basically said, "That's why we tell you to say seated until..." That was in the early 80's and the passengers were pretty embarrassed. I can only imagine how they would react now. Probably threaten a lawsuit though they were violating federal law.
Aww how Kelesy I just got back from LA, would have like to met you; perhaps next time..
As someone who often stands up as soon as the plane stops. I'm not going anywhere, I'm stretching. I've been in my seat the whole flight. I know I'm not getting off the plane any sooner, I just need to uncramp my legs for a bit.
Have you thought of sharing these memes with Mentour and Joe?
sharing them how? like we both react to them? That may be an idea for the future.
@@74gear A triple meme reaction...
Nice
Linas Krulikauskas agreed
The things you say about working your way up is relevant to all work situations. Trade work, computer science, even physical medicine. It doesn't matter, you have to have the proper mind set to achieve greatness in any field.
ya, I think you are right, hopefully others can see that message too!
Really enjoyed the video 🤣🤣
glad to hear that DR, thanks for watching.
I’m a nurse on the night shift, we’re always talking about how many hours of sleep we got. BTW, we often throw in the convo we’re a nurse!
Yeah Kelsey has a new video..
Funny and interesting "K"
All the best Shaun of NYC
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving
thanks Shaun, I appreciate it! Hope you did the same.
Kelsey: "Pilots just have the tendency to tell people we're a pilot because we're proud of it."
Me: *laughs in firefighter*
(No hate, this is obviously just for jokes. Keep up the good work Kelsey.)
I know the meme "I'm a pilot" in "I'm a skydiver" version, we do the same ;)
Dear Kelsey, great video. One thing though, about trash in airplane... I usually pickup my trash and carry with me out of airplane. Why I don't leave it with flight attendants? Well, they just storm the isle not giving me chance to hand over the trash. I'm pretty sure people who leave trash do that (beside being rude) in protest for flight attendants ignoring passengers' trash.
These meme vids make my day Kelsey 😂😂
really happy to hear that Linz, enjoy the rest of your weekend.
74 Gear You too Kelsey!
Dispatcher here. Got off work last night at 11pm and back to work at 8am. Gotta love quick turns
9:33: When telling people what you do, its met with awe. Being a Pilot is very impressive, its a skill that is hard to borrow. Now, when people ask me and i reluctantly say I'm in IT (Computers) they rub their hands together and prepare for the free shit! support 24/7 and the supposed free software us IT pros can produce out our arse.
Ive since become a garbage man for conversational reasons ;)
As another IT guru I completely agree. The struggle is real!
i am a drone operator bombing innocent people..... 👁👄👁
I've been stuck in C-172 with Jetliners ahead and behind me before. You just have to hope that the guy ahead of you doesn't rev up their engines too much and that the tower gives you that intersection departure you asked about.
Yay, more aviation memes!
well the 74 Crew keep sending them to me 😂
« I'm number 1 in the pattern ? I'd better slow down to enjoy it ! »
Every 2 videos he moves
Me: Life has technical difficulties
The photo of the small plane in front of the large plane reminds me of one of the ATC recording vids telling a heavy to use caution while taxiing from a cub that was before them...
Hey 74 gear! I have a suggestion! React to crash animations!
I had this experience where, I landed on Bangalore, the plane is taxiing, I have a window and I'm not going anywhere. A random uncle gets up, attendants warn him, opens the overhead bin, the plane brakes and makes a sharp turn, he falls over with three bags hitting him on his head. Everyone giggles and he got some stares like nobody else.
great vid 74
thanks for watching Retro...
@@74gear thanks for making the great content.
flew the jumbo for my b-day best present ever
I have a part time job as a cleaner inside airplanes. What you say is absolutely true about people leaving their trash behind, it's rather annoying. I wonder how their homes looks like. Chips on the floor, empty cups, sometimes not empty cups, and just a lot of trash in general. Passengers don't realize how shitty it sometimes looks like just before they are boarding!
