Came for the airplanes, stayed for your fun storytelling and personality
Thank you very much. I’m happy you are enjoying it
me too lol
exactly that!
Facts💯
I wasn’t expecting such a character ✨ haha
Oh look Stig uploaded! I was just about to go into life saving heart transplant surgery, but that will have to wait!
Gotta put everything on hold when a Stig Shift comes out
The heart can wait, first watch me pull out the soap dispenser from the toilet 🤣🤣🤣
@@StigAviation don't worry, I no longer needed one after watching the video. It cured me 🤣
Good day Stig, Please show how you check te brake pads' status at the wheels of the plain. Thanks, we learn so much at your good adventures. Braam from South Africa.
@@braamgreeff6567 I already have shown that in previous videos
This is a man that loves his job. Thank you for sharing 👍🏾
My pleasure. Thank you for being here and enjoying.
Makes me feel safe knowing the people who keep the planes from falling out of the sky love what they do and are diligent about doing it.
@@zk9058 You'd hate to see my coworkers.
Stig, I am interested in aviation, but trust me, your kind personality what keeps most of us here watching you work/play.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I truly appreciate it.
@@StigAviationyou from Hawaii man?
@@morganitrygo1681 LA
I'm a fan!
undoubtedly a turbofan
Wait no way!
I thought you were a human at the zoo?
Oh the legend himself
@@collectorguy3919 high or low bypass?
My wife doesn't like when you upload new videos because I'm worthless for the next 45 minutes.😆 Thank you Stig. Keep them coming.
Tell the wife I’m sorry, I’ll make it up by posting a shorter video next week 😅.
What a reply! So very funny but well said.
POV: You find this video at 2:30 AM... Instead of sleeping.
Get some sleep, the video will still be here in the morning. 😅
As an FO in Europe on the a320 family, it’s absolutely fascinating to see the work that goes on behind the scenes. You guys are truly the unsung heroes of aviation and I’m absolutely loving your videos - keep it up!!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it and thank you for being here and enjoying.
I feel most line pilots would benefit from your videos Stig…I smell a biz opportunity
Thanks! ))
You should see what we do in heavy maintenance then 🤣
@@bash102 you work miracles 🤙🫡
Great videos. Sorry for your dad, I know also what we feel inside for years. Keep up the good work and greetings from Italy.
Thank you very much. And I appreciate you being here.
@@StigAviationkeep the great videos coming pal & be safe out there.
As an avgeak and mechanic myself ( A 320 & A 330 families ) in Germany i really like that filming. I really know the Boeing fleet and i flew with every type except the 707 but i never ever worked on one. I only flew with them as a passenger. Last was a 77W. Great filming. 👍
Thank you very much Niko. Glad you enjoyed it
Watching this durning my lunch at an A&P school, Thank for the motivation!
Keep up the good studies Sergio, you’ll be doing this one day
Really enjoying your videos. I am a retired Shift Manager/licensed Senior Reactor Operator in a nuclear power plant. Your explanations of various systems, and the complexity (or simplicity) of various system designs is great.The average passenger does not care for what goes into their flight, but only are concerned about what they will get to eat or what the movies are on the planes. I, on the other hand, devour each of your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much Mark and I 100% agree with how you see aircraft, I do the same thing. We can all agree that aircraft are beautiful but in my mind, it extends beyond the aesthetics, in my mind it transcends into the engineering aspect and how it work. Why it work and how I fix it. When I say “marvel of Engineering” I mean exactly that. Absolutely incredible
Nothing’s better than having dinner while watching Stig Aviation new vid!
What did you have for dinner? 🍽️
I do the same
Hey Stig, don’t worry, you are fine as you are, don’t hesitate to talk to us. Your show is my program while eating breakfast, right before I go to work, every morning you upload :) thank you so much
Thank you Felix. You are awesome. Have a good day at work as well 🤙
@@StigAviation thank you :)
I work part time as a ramper. Worked a mid today and what do I do when I'm at home winding down? I watch this!!! Subscribed. I too love my work and I'm here because I want to learn more. I'm also at a much smaller station so getting to see how it goes at LAX (one of my favorites for efficiency) really makes me happy. Thank you for doing what you're doing. I can never get enough of this, I only want to know more.
You have come to the right place and I appreciate you for being here. Enjoy the videos and don’t hesitate to ask questions. 👍
Dear Stig. I feel sooooo fortunate to have found your channel. A thousand times thanks from an AVgeek from across the pond, the one on your east coast, from rainy Brussels, Belgium.
It’s a pleasure to have you here. Thank you for watching and enjoying
I did not know that it rains a lot in Brussels. Best Wishes.
Hey stig love your channel and glad I am part of the AA family. I fly the 737 and love it. As for the light under the split scimitar winglet is so ground personal can avoid them during ground operations especially at night.
Pleasure to have you here Captain. If you fly through lax , we might run into each other.
This is the only channel where I like the video before watching it because I know it’s gonna be good
Thank you so much Alex, I really appreciate that.
Another awesome video Stig. I absolutely love your stuff. Please don't stop! Utterly fantastic!! Love from Scotland 😊❤✈️✈️✈️
Thanks so much!
Thank you, Stig. Loved the views of 'home' at the end.
I’m very happy you enjoyed it.
This video had me smiling from ear to ear for 54 minutes and 31 seconds straight. Instant subscribe, absolutely loved the content and look forward to seeing more!
I’m glad I can make you smile and happy. Thank you for being here Aryaz
Hey Stig, thanks for another great video, these videos teach me a lot and I am grateful you are here to teach them to us viewers! Hopefully it isn’t to rainy for the rest of the week
Thank you so much for being here Dean and thankfully the rain finally stopped. Back to normal California weather.
Gotta love California weather
Man this channel recently came into my recommendations and I am binging all of these episodes! Love all of the little nuggets of information you throw in everywhere and the way you promote safety. Makes me feel even safer flying knowing people like you are there before and after the flight.
Thank you so much for being here Alex, I’m glad you’re enjoying it, don’t hesitate to ask questions.
Actually! I do have a question. I notice a lot of the planes use the Air X tires by Michelin. Does the tire manufacturer just have some sort of agreement with Boeing/Airbus for their planes?
@@AlexM2299 Michelin is not the only tire manufacturer that has aircraft tires, Goodyear and Bridgestone also make aircraft tires. It just depends on which aircraft it’s used on. Majority of airbus tires use Michelin, the 737 likes to use Goodyear, 787 likes to use Bridgestone.
@@StigAviation Thank you!!
you sir deserve way more viewership and subscribers than you have currently. keep up the great work we all appreciate the content and spread the word on this channel to like minded individuals who can appreciate what goes into this.
Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful words. I am just happy that people can enjoy Aviation alongside with me.
Very interesting video. The complexity of these aircraft is just mind-boggling.
Incredible engineering
American Airlines don't have themselves any gem, they have a diamond with this guy
I’m just a wrench my friend. Just a wrench. But thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words.
Thanks Stig. Seeing the complexity and beauty of these wonderful planes is always a treat, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
It’s my absolute pleasure. Thank you for watching
I got an A&P license from a little school down the road from LAX in Inglewood about 10 years ago but never worked a day as an A&P.thanks for documenting this stig
You know your license hold forever. You are grandfathered into it. You can always come back and work on jets.
Stig,
No truer words have been spoken about finding a job to get paid for what you love to do. I think in another life, there would be a pretty good chance I'd work in aviation. Unfortunately there is only so much time we have on this planet, so it's important we do it doing something we love and helping others along the way. Thank you for allowing us to live your job through your videos.
Thank you for being here and enjoying it alongside with me. I appreciate you.
Your channel is a gem for us aviation lovers, thank you for sharing your adventures with us and for everything you in order for us to be safe in the skies. 💖✈
Thank you for being here, I appreciate you
You clearly love your job and are an expert at what you do.
You make your videos, so enjoyable and informative especially to those of us who are involved with in lovers of commercial aviation.
Thank you for all that you do and for keeping me safe and confident whenever I fly.
It’s my absolute pleasure and I think you very much for watching and enjoying the adventures
Brilliant again, isnt it amazing, not that long ago we were swinging in the trees , eating bananas and catapillars and now we build miracles called airoplanes. Mind boggling.
It’s amazing what mankind can do when it’s for the betterment of ourselves and the world.
Oh look who’s uploaded! Automatically a great day! Thank you Stig for continuing to be a huge inspiration and keeping my pilot dream alive! Greetings from Norway!🇳🇴
Thank you so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it
Stig you are literally my favorite youtuber. Thanks for this level of dedication. Always look forward to the long form content.
Thank you so much for being here Jonathon. I’m glad you are enjoying it
Plumbing, the reason I loved working-life on the avionics side of things; those engines sweetened the deal for the both of us!! Thanks very much for sharing!!! (the most unique look on Y/T; take care Mr. Stig!!)
Thank you my friend. As always I appreciate you being here.
The America West lanyard😢
I know you truly love what you do when I see you recording ALL aircraft, even those of competitor airlines. I like that you salute the profession by sharing them.
I love all aircraft and all aviation. I’m happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for being here.
Thank you Stig for sharing your knowledge and keep up the good job
Thank you for being here and watching.
I have just found your channel via the power of The Algorithm suggesting this video and I'd just like to say I think your videos are absolutely fantastic. I'm not an aircraft mechanic, just an interested enthusiast.
Your passion and enthusiasm matches your immense knowledge and it's awesome to watch.
Thanks from an equally rainy UK :)
Many thanks and I appreciate you being here. Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you see something interesting
subscribed! Walk around with coffee in hand, just how I like it
ME TOO!!!
Got to have my cup of coffee 🤙
Love this channel! Just found it. My dad worked for American Freight as a P.R. writer in the 70's. Got to fly all the time as a kid. They still fascinate me. Your videos show how important you and all the mechanics/all personnel are in keeping these magnificent machines flying. Thank you!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words. I’m glad you took the advantage of traveling, those flight benefits are truly fun.
Never forget First Class in a 747! Upstairs lounge. Mid 1970's.@@StigAviation
I really enjoy your videos! Thank you very much for making them.
It’s my pleasure. Thank you for being here.
Thanx again for sharing. Working for Ford almost 17 years & hating it I finally found a new career @Sony in electronics. Then walking in the building one day with my mgr. standing there waiting for me. Being told after almost 25 years out of the blue you have 60 days to find a new position I was devastated. It’s 14 years now & I still miss my customers & coworkers. Reterment sucks. So keep your memories & most of all keep your sense of humor!
Life is unpredictable sometimes. It takes you into different directions. Definitely hold on to the good memories.
Dear friend: A joyful experience as it always has been. Have a nice day.
Thank you Carlos. Glad you enjoyed it
Love love the video Stig! Never gets old listening to your banter.
Oh btw you are right if you love your job it is not work. Just like I love my museum. 😊
You have to love what you do 👌
@@StigAviation most definitely!!
Your videos have such great content, always very interesting. Also a wonderful personality. Thanks very much for sharing.
Thank you very much for watching and enjoying. I appreciate you being here Rodger
Love your positivity and work ethic, keep uploading great content!
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks for taking the mystery out of aviation maintenance I have always enjoyed aircraft and mechanical systems, thanks for taking us along I learned something new today !
Thank you so much for watching and enjoying it. I appreciate you being here.
I am the geek that took pictures of the aircraft's wiring and ventilation and mechanical systems when I was at the Smithsonian at Dulles. I am fascinated by the complexity yet some systems still rely upon cables and pulleys very interesting stuff ! @@StigAviation
I’m really loving all of these unique perspectives 👍 thanks for sharing; and keep it up
Thank you for being here and watching. I appreciate you Julian.
Love hearing engines power down :)
Me too. Especially the CFM leap 1A
I just came across this channel and boy am I glad I did! This is absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much Stig!
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much for being here Jake.
Wow, i found my new favorite channel. What airport is this? Seems to be a good deal of international as well as domestic traffic. 😊
Welcome aboard Alex, and this is the LAX airport.
you just might be the coolest man in the world
Far from being cool. I’m just a wrench 🔧
I have thousands of hours flying Boeing(737-400/500) and Airbus(A320/321 and A330) and when i came off the 737 i never thought id like Airbus but now id never go back.
They're a much more modern aircraft with a way bigger cockpit,the comfort of no control column and the luxury of a tray table to work and eat on!
It’s a very lovely aircraft for maintenance as well. Very user friendly and less cluttered when it comes to troubleshooting issues.
@StigAviation So reliable as well.I can remember many delays and cancellations when I flew the 737 but the Airbus is ultra reliable.And once you get the hang of flying it,it's a great airplane to land in heavy wind.
Keep up the great work,I love your enthusiasm!
We know you can't tell us everything but thank you for all you do.
Thank you very much.
The MAX is such a beauty, so is the A321..just perfect
Both amazing aircraft
I appreciate the "nitro button" on the throttles lol
😅 NOS just like fast and the furious 🤣
I know that we are getting an abbreviated view of what you do, and I am loving it.
Question... I know that each plane is different, but how long do you actually work on each plane.
Depending on how much ground time the aircraft has, most aircraft that come in on a turnaround have at least 45 minutes to an hour, that’s my timetable to do my inspection and walk around
Wow, not a lot of time. Great work on the videos, loving every one.
Several video's in so far, I just want to say, you're my favorite mechanic in the whole world. I first fell in love with the way you went over everything, on these magnificent and beautiful planes. But I've also fallen in love with the amazing soul that makes up you. I love the way you look at everything, and I feel the same way you do. And in your video's, I get to live vicariously through the amazing job that you have, thank you so much for sharing, it is appreciated by me!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for these beautiful and thoughtful words. I appreciate you.
Love you're videos! Awesome humor and so much knowledge! Keep them coming!!
Many thanks. More adventures to come
Getting my fix.
You had me itching
I aim to please, thank you for watching.
I love your videos man I can’t stop watching them whenever I have time to spare I like to watch something that doesn’t make me feel stupid so this is right up my alley
I’m glad you are enjoying it. Thank you for watching
Thank you so much for sharing this side of Aviation that I don't usually get to see. It's great seeing videos of the engineering of major parts like enginese on UA-cam, but when a person like you comes along to simplify and showcase even the most obscure things nobody would think of like the chiller for the galley carts you showed and how the work it satisfies my inner curiosity so much.
Thank you for your videos!
I am very happy that I can take you with me on these adventures and I appreciate you for being here and watching
That galley drain trick works like a charm. Sometimes moving the plunger rapidly helps unclog the coffee grounds. Still amazes me how our FA's put that stuff down the drains.
I’m glad it worked, it’s a bit of a pain to disassemble that little unit.
Stig, are the engines specific to a right side engine or left side engine or can an engine be mounted on any side? You would think it would be specific but it would make sense if they were universal. Just curious, thanks.
This is a very great question Rick, yes, engines are interchangeable from left to right.
@@StigAviation Thank you !
Thanks Stig!
Nice and informative, like always. love your channel!
The world needs definitely more people like you, so kind and humble! 😊
Once again I’m humbled by your kind words. I appreciate you
Just discovered this channel browsing thru delta taxi and takeoff videos I love the energy knowledge and the value you get from these videos definitely will be binging these !
Many thanks Joe. I appreciate you being here.
Love flying the 777s out of LAX. You have the best office in the world ! Thanks for great videos.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate you being here and watching Michael.
Love the channel. Really nice explanation of everything. Thank you for taking a time to let us know everything in details. 👍👍
It’s my pleasure. Thank you for taking time and watching
Love what you do so much Stig! 😍🥰 Keep sharing the love and being nice - love it!
Thank you so much Bob, I appreciate you being here and enjoying all of this
I also have a screwdriver my dad gave me. I use it just about every day. 💙
Brings good memories
Great job on the blocked drain…..got to learn how the food carts are cooled
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much for watching
Thanks for sharing Stig, always enjoyable!
My pleasure!
Im happy I found this channel, You guys are the unsung heros, thank you for all the hard work and the cool videos. Be well man
Thank you so much, I appreciate that and I appreciate you being here
Ive been studying for 3 years now and I just discovered ur channel, this is my future and you make me very excited for it!
I am very happy that this is helpful. Thank you for watching.
I love everything about this! Can't believe I'd never found Stig Aviation before this very day!!
Never hesitate to re-explain or demonstrate things you've covered before- if I've heard it before it's always good to check/test myself and look for details I missed.
I am so happy that you are enjoying it and learning. It’s a pleasure to have you here.
I love planes and just found this video love this!!
Welcome aboard John. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
Been trying to find peoples who share their work at the airport. Stumbled upon this channel. It's like a gift from god. Love your storytelling and explanations on how things work around. Learnt so many new things from watching your videos and the aircrafts looks so amazing from the ground! Great video! you're doing amazing!
Thanks and welcome
Just found this channel and this video was like therapy. I love this stuff, thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for being here. Glad you are enjoying it
Looks a lot easier than my graveyard shift at SFO, for TWA, back in the 60s and 70s ! I did many check "Cs", engine changes, gear seals, major hyd repairs, flight control rigging, and airframe "Air worthy" repairs. My Dad was a captain, Mom and sister were both "Hostesses". It was a good job until politics destroyed a great airline and I took early retirement. Things have sure changed
Things have not changed at all my friend, they’re all the same. The only thing different here is that I am not on Night Shift, I am a line maintenance technician, I work live aircraft. My days in hanger and Night Shift are done because I have enough seniority to get off graveyard shift.
One of the coolest channels I accidentally found on UA-cam. Subscribed.
I love planes. The insight to how they work in a more detail is extremely welcome. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much. I appreciate you being here.
As a 38 year employee.....I am super proud to have you as a co-worker. Such a breath of fresh air to see someone who actually loves and cares about his job.
Thank you so much, it’s an honor to have a senior speak so kindly. I appreciate you.
I love what you said about loving your job because your right if you love your job its not a job anymore. Next time i fly out to visit my daughter in L.A. id love to hook up and grab a cup of that airplane coffee you speak so highly off and see around your office in person. Keep the great content coming stig really enjoy the entertainment and information
Thank you Mike, and if you fly in, let me know. Might catch you at the gate. Cheers 🤙
Such a fantastic video! Never even seen anything like this on UA-cam. Super interesting!! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for being here and enjoying it
All that time, effort and paperwork because the FO was lazy about moving the thrust levers into the idle detent position!
I just found your channel….and love it! Subscribed within seconds. You do an amazing job explaining the maintenance side of commercial aviation. And you have a great attitude and sense of humor in doing so! Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind words. It’s a pleasure to have you here.
Just found this channel, this is genius! I am last semester of engineering so I'll enjoy this Subbed, thank you!
Thank you so much for being here. I’m glad you are enjoying it
Absolute gem channel! As a Captain on the 737NG/MAX halfeway across the globe I find this highly intruiging. I'm even learning new stuff about my own home for over a decade +. The REVERSER light can come on when improperly stowing the resersers to fwd idle. Too fast or too slow basically. Nothing a BITE test can't fix. Done a few myself over the years. Keep up the awesome work! Fascinating...!
It’s my pleasure captain. You know what the interesting part is, most pilots will pretty much do the operational check themselves. Sometimes when they land, and they get the fault, during their taxi, they will put the engines in a thrust reverse for a slight moment to reset the system. Since this aircraft was already coming into the gate, the inbound crew decided to leave it to us. But it all worked out in the end.
@@StigAviation That's exactly what I do. lol. One re-cycle usually clear this. If not then a quick BITE check does it. Keep up the great work!
Another great video. Keep them coming!
Thank you for watching
Oh man! I love the way you film these. Very nice. Thank you! 😊
Much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it
4:05 Could not have said it better myself buddy. what a dream job to hang out with those beautiful birds.
Best job in the world 👍
Love the video! Super informative, and as a ramper it's cool to see sometimes when they open up some panels, but I never really know what I am looking at!
I’m glad these are bringing more information and insight onto what you are looking at when you are working on the ramp
my god this videos worth millions of likes and subs, super good job.
Thank you so much Jesse. The important part is that you enjoyed it, if I can make somebody smile and enjoy their day, then I have done my job correctly.
@@StigAviation you doing super great i learn so much and i love all kind of airplanes, 10000 likes for you.
Huge respect my friend! I've been fascinated with aircraft from childhood. Always wanted to be aircraft mechanic, but alas, i found a comfortable spot in auto maintenence. Thank you for all you guys do to keep us safe! 👍👍
Thank you very much Scott, it’s a pleasure having you here and I’m glad you’re enjoying it
Just started watching your videos. Honestly feels like a home away from home. Glad you enjoy working as maintenance, it's so fun to see you enjoy the little bits and pieces of it!
Glad you are enjoying the adventures. It’s a beautiful place with aircraft.
I remember when I was working, one of the things I loved was being able to go behind the doors that said "Staff Only" - this channel really epitomises that!
I’m glad you’re enjoying a Jack.
absolutely brilliant video!! love your energy, its amazing! 😄
Thank you so much!!
Exactly Sir, it is all about learning for all of us who love aviation and these amazing pieces of engineering. You are a true example of dedication and
appreciation of this excepcional industry. technology. Your enthusiasm is out of the ordinary.
Thank you so much
Many thanks. I appreciate your kind words Carlos. It means a lot to me.
I work at the ramp at a small airport in Uruguay. I really enjoy my work (most of the times) and so do my partners, and fun and passion makes everything better! Aviation is the only place I've seen sooo much people working in the same building really sharing the passion for what they do, and your videos show exactly how I feel about my job, it's marvellous and beautiful. Keep it up man, much respect!
Aviation is a very unique place where a diversity of people can come together for one unifying cause. To make it fly.
Stig you are the king of aviation knowledge
Just a wrench that talks too much 😅
First time finding your channel. What great information and inside look at how these incredible feats of engineering and aerodynamics work to propel us safely through the skies. Thank you for posting these and I look forward to more. And my condolences on the loss of your father.
Thank you very much. I appreciate you being here and enjoying it
Thank you so much for this content.
I was going to go into aviation going through high school and university, even getting a few flight hours in. But with gradually building health issues I had to realign my goals from flight to ground based or other engineering work and eventually dropping out of the workforce entirely.
It all seems so very far out of reach nowdays, but seeing content like this even while stuck in bed does so much to keep my brain engaged and thinking and genuinely happy.
It helps so much that I can keep learning and stay engaged, seeing someone who enjoys and appreciates their job as much as I hope that I would.
Thankyou good sir for everything you share with the world.
It’s a pleasure to have you here and I’m glad you are learning and enjoying all of this. I wish the best for you in your future endeavors.
