I was your age yesterday ( 62 now) US Navy working on F-14/DC-8/DC-9.....bet you got some awfully proud parents young man! Enjoy the ride, the sunsets, and the kiss of the woman you love!
Jean congratulations on the NBAA Top 40 under 40! With my ultimate goal being large cabin corporate and making it into the Top 40 under 40 as well, your channel is great introduction to large cabin jet operations and the high level of professionalism that’s required. The attention to detail, the CRM, the knowledge of the airplane systems, limitations, and the airmanship. Top notch all the way around. Thank you so much for posting these videos! Hopefully we cross paths on the road or at an IOC convention in the future! Safe travels!
Hi Josh! Wow thank you so much for the kind words. It's been a real pleasure putting those up and hopefully I'll continue to do so as long as the flying keeps up! Looking forward to meeting some day soon!
Thanks for your videos! Preparing myself for an upcoming flight from Germany to KASE on a Global 6000 and your videos help a lot! Hope we won’t need to go to Rifle due to weather though… 😊
Now that's a long flight. LOL. What is it maybe 80 miles? Not far in any event. Thanks for showing the cold weather requirements on the big Global. Be safe!
I love the flight and the sunny day. I am loving he idea of flying everyday and you also happen to be flying my favourite Jet - Bombadier GLOBAL Jet - Mine is 7500.
@@GlobalLife Hmm, i thought so and indeed from the video runways look or appear very smooth. I guess the plane needs to be well taken care of bearing in mind how fast it hits the ground running, that thud, takes a great toll on the plane parts and thus the need for much care for the plane.
You made that approach look so easy Jean. Loved the way you two worked together and especially the way the PNF seemed to pre-empt everything so you could concentrate on the final phase of the landing. If this had been a straight in approach at a normal airport, what alt would you normally drop the gear?
It certainly is one of them yes. I'd say it's been one of the most challenging airports I've encountered, along with Innsbruk. It requires knowledge and preparation to ensure a smooth arrival and always be ready for plan B!
no where to park indoors up there bro i keep my 8x there just covered, i live there aspen is a good flight from KAPA, 1 min to denver, snow to red tabve to Falcon direct KAPA, and they dont care if you land with a 50 knot tailwind all iron over 10,000 lands 33 takes off 15 dangerous shit... And its cost them many times with wind sheer..

James that's one of the nicest things ever said to me here. Thank you

Thank you so much from america for all your great films and hard work.
My pleasure Steven!!
Really enjoyed your commentary on why you chose to do things the way you did. Everything looked completely professional and safe.
Thank you! Very grateful you stopped by!
great work! greased that landing at close to max weight would be great to see more of the panel during the flight. thanks for sharing. you guys rock!
Thanks!!! Working on keeping the channel going :)
Great video! 🤙
Looking very nice.
You are welcome.

That's great to hear! Glad it could help in some way. Aspen is a great destination - safe travels and happy holidays!
That was a perfect landing.. Thanks
Thanks Jon!! 😊 Take them when I can haha

My pleasure! It was indeed a very short flight haha!
Very nice!
Your channel deserves more subscribers and the Global deserves a decent representation for Prepar3d. :-)
Thanks Lars! 🙏
X-PLANE 11 needs a Global
Yess!!

One day I'll get to try the magnificent 7500!!
@@GlobalLife Why do jets rattle and make squicky sounds when they land? I have seen that from every cockpit video i have seen.
@@SAMEPICStories There's a lot of moving parts on an airplane. Runways aren't the smoothest surfaces despite appearances

@@GlobalLife please see if we can connect on email. Write to me please on s.kinyanjui@outlook.com
Someone forgot to contact tower aftey they cleared you for the visual haha! 😂
eeehhh.. we talked to them eventually! :D
Was manual thrust the challenging part? It doesn't get nicer than that in Aspen.
You're correct. Aspen itself is the challenging part - from planning to executing a stabilized approach with a 75,000lbs jet.
You made that approach look so easy Jean. Loved the way you two worked together and especially the way the PNF seemed to pre-empt everything so you could concentrate on the final phase of the landing. If this had been a straight in approach at a normal airport, what alt would you normally drop the gear?
Cheers Shaun, and yes I love the CRM we have going
On a typical approach gears would come down a dot below the glideslope if ILS, or 2NM prior to FAF
@@GlobalLife FAF ??? I'm not a pilot :)
@@Shaun-mg5ni Final Approach Fix - in this case "DOYPE" on the plate
That whole flight you kept looking over your left shoulder. Why?
Because of the way we arrived to Aspen, the airport ended up being to my left for most of the approach. I was looking for it, then at it ;)
@@GlobalLife Oh... I thought you saw somebody you knew.... hahaha
😂😂
Was that Rifle, CO🤔?
You bet!
Is this the dangerous airport than everyone talks about?
Depends, who have you been talking to 😊

Aspen is easy money in a Global
