How lovely to see Honolulu again. We first went as an Australian Military family on break from a really, really tough posting. I was beyond shocked at the respect shown to my husband everywhere we went. I couldn’t work out why until I actually asked a person at a ticket booth. He said ma’am we respect our Military Allies and Aussies are always so damn happy and friendly! My love for the USA started with that very first trip. I have been back to the US many times for work and so enjoy being there and the absolute courtesy of my US colleagues. As a couple we have been back many times, picked up an RV and just pointed lets go that way. We were in Maine and I had a slight accident at the RV park. I swear that I have never seen so many people rush to my aid. I did need further help, and the gorgeous couple parked next to us, just called around everywhere until they found what I needed, and then drove me there, waited patiently, and drove us back. Wowza. You meet the nicest citizens in an RV Park I tell you. We are still friends to this day, but they won’t come to Australia because of the Drop Bears and all the other nasty critters here 😂
Same here, I expected all the airline companies to be incredibly strict on this stuff, so as long as he remains safe and focused on what needs to be done while in the cockpit I've been loving the footage
You have a point there. Several pilots on twitter have stopped filming because their airlines gave them strict orders not to film anymore while on the job.
Oh man, I don't think you've any idea just how good this upload is. It's by far the best UA-cam video I've watched in weeks. More in the same format, please. 😃
@@74gear Maybe consider having a separate channel from 74 Gear, dedicated to specific destinations and personal experiences whilst there. Petter has successfully done it with his Mentor Pilot and Mentor Now Channels. '74Gear Destinations' would be a great name for it. Look forward to seeing a Vlog from Bangkok! 😊
As a former touring musician I can totally identify with your desire for free breakfast. It was the only thing that could get me out of bed before 10 am. Cheers from Denmark!
Kelsey’s two top loves. Free food and flying:- which is first is anyone’s guess and probably depends on the day. Go Kelsey, get those snacks and eat as many free breakfasts as you can. You only live to fly once,
Tried your channel because my Dad was a 47 engineer in the’60’s and 70’s-he designed the light for the emergency chute and more. Subscribed because I enjoy your vibe, content and seeing the 47 from a different perspective.
You really manage to knit in a little snip of everything in your day/night and also a bit of location vlogging. Very enjoyable. I hope you are happier now, you look it. Keep the blue side up!
idk if its less stressful but I think they are fun for people to see that side of life and cool to have a history of things I have done and places I have been
Yes, I agree. I thoroughly enjoyed this Video. I wish some parts of the video were a little more detailed, but overall, it all was OK. Thanks Again, Tiger
I lived in Oahu Hawaii for 7 years, and we used to Jet Ski right next to the taxiway that you filmed arriving in Honolulu. It was so cool to ride next to the planes taxiing out to the reef runway. We would wave at all the people leaving and many times saw the pilots waving back! Cool episode Kelsey 🙂
From a legal stand point, I doubt there's any difference between coach and business as far as "rest" goes (especially business narrow-body as that's often not lay-flat anyway. And laws for pilot rest are extremely strict!
@@captainLoknar I'm not arguing that at all. I certainly enjoy my lay flat seats, as long as the company is paying! I'm just saying that it may not qualify as the right type of rest from a legal pilot standpoint. My last two economy trips I managed to finagle three seats, but even then, there's no real way for someone over 6 ft to really get comfortable, especially as the window armrest doesn't go up.
“If there’s a little delay then I’m delaying 400 people” So pilots DO feel bad when my flight is delayed 4 hours 💀 Awesome vid kelsey, they keep getting better ;)
Some times, it's not even their fault and they are delayed like everyone else. I've heard stories of pilots being the cause, but all in all, they're a pretty diligent bunch.
@@aserta The only reason a pilot delays a flight is because it affects the safety of the flight and that comes from the Flight Dispatcher in the OCC (Operation Control Center) who is also responsible for the flight.
Its interesting to see pilots going through some of the same adventures as us passengers in dealing with being on time and getting as much perks as possible along the way!
I was lucky enough to live in Hawaii for 13 years while my parents were in the Navy. I love that airport. I remember seeing 747's, DC-10's, MD-11's, L1011's. I even flew Aloha's old 737-200's. For a few years we lived under the approach to 8L so I'd stand outside while watching the big planes land and the big ships pull in. Some of the fondest memories of when I was little.
Best part about arrival in HNL or Hawaii, is... the air. Warm but soft from humidity, fragrance of the flowers (and, well, some kerosene fumes if still near the open-air jetway, from the planes)... instant relaxation. ahhhh
I can’t believe they don’t let off duty pilots in AA lounges. I’m always chatting with pilots flying up to Anchorage or sitting in lounge. Hopefully one of these days I’ll see you and thank you in person.
I can understand to a point, but I once saw a Dallas AA agent tell a FedEx pilot (who was not in a uniform) to remove his FedEx logo pullover before she would allow him in the club. I don’t see them demanding any other employee from any other company (Microsoft, Ford, Deloitte, or any other company) remove a logo shirt or coat.
As a truck driver in Oregon and Washington, I always brag that my cubicle has some great views. They are nothing compared to yours! Enjoyed the episode.
As a non-American who has only ever visited Orlando, what do you love about it? I live in Spain and I argue that the trip from Málaga out towards Nerja (although obviously *much* less driving than is possible in the USA lol) along that coast is unbeatable! Mountains on one side and the sea on the other, and finish around El Cabo de Gata in Almería. Maybe one day I'll do yours and you do mine and we can compare notes ;) haha@@mattscarf
I remember flying on Air Mobility Command flights in the mid 2000's (05 and 06, primarily). Y'all used to make jokes about all of the guns on the plane (because, of course, we were rotating in or out of combat). Flying home with AMC was one of the greatest joys I've ever felt. Strange as it is to say it, home came and picked us up.
Thank you for the laid back, calmly-voiced narration. This is the kind of travel channel stuff I would watch because it's not the forced over-the-top salesman voice of travel bloggers.
What a great video. You’ve got a great eye for what to shoot for a really cool edit at the end. A great balance between impromptu casual vlogging style (without being all Blair Witch 🫨) and discerning and structured sequences, shots and timing that kick up the production and immerse us in the context more like a high budget travel documentary.
@@someguyontheinternet7165healthy…and wealthy beyond need, no family etc. lol! I wish I could do it. Can’t even live on my own with 4 mouths to feed let alone go become a pilot. Dreaming and living through this channel though for sure. 😅
@@someguyontheinternet7165 That's what I'm doing. I was training to be a pilot in my 20's. PPL MEA CIR. My relationship went south and I was almost bankrupted. Fast forward 23 years and I got made redundant from my job with a good severance package. I've put it all on red to finish my CPL and get my CIR back. Can't remember the last time I was this happy with life.
My goodness these vlogs are quality. Really very good stuff indeed. Also I love (I assume) your editor both for their edits but also their choice of music. It's never that stupid electronic repetitive stuff, but actually something that adds to the imagery and is fun to listen to for the couple of seconds it's there. Awesome stuff! Still baffled by how ridiculously good these vlogs are for an 'unexperienced' vlogger.
I am happy to say I recognized your mechanics in HNL from my back to back to back to back... 9 turns from MEM - HNL back in November.... hauling Fed-Ex cargo in 476 for peak.... good crew there in HNL!
I remember the old airport - and 4 prop planes to fly to Hawaii. Wow what a difference today and people complain ? Try flying from El Paso to SFO, to Oakland to Hawaii and then to Kwajalein. Two Killer 11+ hour trips back to back.
I hope you show us some more of your Guam layover. I lived there from 61-63 and from 65-72 and I hardly recognize places when I see them in photos and videos these days.
My son-in-law is a submariner stationed in Guam. He's out on deployment now so he missed the Cat 4 Typhoon. My daughter and 2 grandkids had to ride it out. When my daughter finally had to move to Guam, she was living with her mom north of LA but they had been technically stationed in San Diego. So she and the grandkids were routed via red-eye from San Diego to Newark. Changed planes and then non-stop to Honolulu and immediately changed planes to Guam. 24 hours in the air alone with her kids. We're still not sure why the Navy routed them this way, but besides the humidity, they love it there. A very beautiful and picturesque place to live. I really enjoyed your video.
Man, your videos keep getting better and better!! Not that they've ever been bad. Keep that up and you'll be at 2 million before you know. Nobody does it like Kelsey😉
THANK YOU! This was wonderful! I really enjoyed seeing the inside of the cockpit, and how your day went. I've always wanted to go to Hawaii. It's on my bucket list now.
Great vlog as always!!! I’m really liking these videos more than the others! It’s like a “day in the life…” of Kelsey, and it’s so fun! I wish I could dive into that Guamanian water RIGHT NOW!!!
Just wanted to extend a big thank you for sharing your life with us this way! Many of us AVgeeks grew up dreaming of being a career pilot but never had a chance due to (in my case) medical or other reasons. Your videos let viewers get a vicarious taste of this dream we cant let go!
Hey @74 Gear, the music choice here is outstanding! I loved the whole video (and your "conitnuous hunt for free breakfast" :D ) and the honest approach. But the crown is the music here, there is not a bad note!
Love the newer format, Kelsey! Music, quick story, your dry caustic wit, entertaining as always! I enjoy how you just tell it like it is - never pull punches. Awesome! 😄
Watching your channel is part of what inspired me to pursue being a pilot. Your videos still make me excited to reach 1500 hours and work my way into flying like you! Love the videos!
I think I found and watched all of your vlogs of you doing your daily job, and I must say, your all consuming passion for free breakfast is impressive and I, sir, salute your tenacity!! These vlogs are so good to see your perspective, thank you for sharing!!
Hafa Adai, Spent 3 years stationed in a squadon on Naval Air Station Agana (Now closed) in the 70s. Hotel row had 3 hotels then. Got bumped from a MAC flight out of Travis when I first went there, and flew a new 747-100 on PanAm. My love for the 747 began. Hope you enjoyed your stay.
One of the best pilot vlogs/videos I've ever seen. Been to Guam....flew EVA TPE-GUM and stayed for a week at the Hyatt. Indeed the water is that clear blue!
the editing and music choice for this video is amazing, thanks for sharing Kelsey and as other comments have said, your hunt for breakfast is amusing but relatable
I actually love the way you did this video, its nice taking us out and about on your adventures. Thank you for the time you spent putting this video together and know that many many of us wait for your next video. See you on the next one commander!
This was a lot of fun to watch, especially as I'm housebound and can't go anywhere nice. It's wonderful to experience these trips and places, both from a passenger and pilot perspective.
I always enjoy the behind the scenes pilot videos. My favorites. I also appreciate folks who like to squeeze a penny and get what they can for free on trips! Well played.
Thanks for the video memories. I was a Flight Engineer for Atlas and had many days where I had to do the same thing. Short notice, long commercial deadhead, rest, then operate a flight. I once went New York to Hong Kong on United. When I got hired Atlas had 6 -200's and all we did was cargo. It was the start of the internet and we were always fully loaded with computer components. I miss the people most of all. Of course I wasn't a pilot so when the -200's went away so did I. So look down when you are flying over Alabama I'll wave.
@@74gear Hi Kelsey When are you going to correct the BASIC mistake you made trying to rubbish that BA Captain decision not to accept 180 kts to 5 DME 22L JFK. You showed the chart for RWY 31.....you muppet. I don't know a single B747-400 Captain who would accept that clearance. That's probably why you are still a co-pilot. .. Rong Wunway chart. Oh ...for your needed education 5 DME on 22 L ILS is ONLY 3.6 NM FROM THE RUNWAY. ... NOT CO-LOCATED. ... You only impress armchair and the ignorant.... Your level.
Thanks for sharing the clear waters of Guam. Don’t think I’ll ever get there. It looks so beautiful and warm. Stay safe and look forward to the next flight.
Kelsey’s continuous hunt for free breakfast is the hero’s side quest that fuels us all
LOL 💯
Yeah, but then all he ever gets is fruit and granola! Healthy but not really taking full advantage of the "free" possibilities!
The poverty experienced going through flight training sears into the lizard brain that continental breakfast and FBO snacks are required for survival 😂

What a view from the captain’s seat. Great job Kelsey showing us maintenance crew keeping the blue side up. Overall one of your best videos.
You are a natural born traveler , you have figured all the quirks out . And are comfortable alone.
Just wanted to extend a big thank you for sharing your life with us this way! Many of us AVgeeks grew up dreaming of being a career pilot but never had a chance due to (in my case) medical or other reasons. Your videos let viewers get a vicarious taste of this dream we cant let go!
Hey @74 Gear, the music choice here is outstanding! I loved the whole video (and your "conitnuous hunt for free breakfast" :D ) and the honest approach. But the crown is the music here, there is not a bad note!
I used to love visiting Honolulu as kid in the 1980s from Sydney, the smell of flowers just hits you as you leave the airport. 🇦🇺
Kelsey is living his best life!
PPL guy here. Can't wait to get my ATP. Rest assured, I'm paying my dues!!!. Love the vids. Hello from an ORD based temporary resident near PAGY!
Kelsey needs to lauch a few T-shirt designs with "Is breakfast included?" on them LOL
What is the magic word?......."FREE!"🤑🤔🤨🧐🤠
Love the newer format, Kelsey! Music, quick story, your dry caustic wit, entertaining as always! I enjoy how you just tell it like it is - never pull punches. Awesome! 😄
I love how you are becoming more and more comfortable vloging. Keep the good work up!
Imagine the person next to you on the plane shows up in a pilot's uniform mid-flight, you'd be like "uh who is flying the plane?!". Great vid!
Watching your channel is part of what inspired me to pursue being a pilot. Your videos still make me excited to reach 1500 hours and work my way into flying like you! Love the videos!
I think I found and watched all of your vlogs of you doing your daily job, and I must say, your all consuming passion for free breakfast is impressive and I, sir, salute your tenacity!! These vlogs are so good to see your perspective, thank you for sharing!!
Our super secret free breakfast pilot spy. Thank you. I hope to fly with you sometime and I don't like flying
I am with you!!!
Hafa Adai, Spent 3 years stationed in a squadon on Naval Air Station Agana (Now closed) in the 70s. Hotel row had 3 hotels then.
Got bumped from a MAC flight out of Travis when I first went there, and flew a new 747-100 on PanAm. My love for the 747 began.
Hope you enjoyed your stay.
Thank YOU for YOUR service Kelsey!!!
Such a fun channel. Calming for someone who is terrified of flying. You make it look so easy.
Kelsey, nice acknowledgement regarding the service of your passengers. Rest well in paradise and thank you for this video. 👍
One of the best pilot vlogs/videos I've ever seen. Been to Guam....flew EVA TPE-GUM and stayed for a week at the Hyatt. Indeed the water is that clear blue!
This was so much fun to watch. Love your editing style
the editing and music choice for this video is amazing, thanks for sharing Kelsey and as other comments have said, your hunt for breakfast is amusing but relatable
For Kelsey, breakfast isn't just the more important meal of the day, it IS his whole meal for the day. 😂
For more than one day
Love traveling with you, Kelsey! ❤
I actually love the way you did this video, its nice taking us out and about on your adventures. Thank you for the time you spent putting this video together and know that many many of us wait for your next video. See you on the next one commander!
Just found your channel and, it really brings me comfort about flying. Thank you.
Undercover Kelsey was great! It's good to know pilots are real people.❤
This was a lot of fun to watch, especially as I'm housebound and can't go anywhere nice. It's wonderful to experience these trips and places, both from a passenger and pilot perspective.
I work in crew scheduling for a charter airline, so it's interesting to see your side of a scheduling squeeze play. Great content as always, Kelsey
Love your Utube handle.......
😂😂😂no clue at all
@@ClearedAsFiled thanks, I picked it because I’m dumb
Hey flight attendant. You have to hold this flight!
Uh, sir, why should we hope this flight just for you?!
Because I'm the pilot.
I always enjoy the behind the scenes pilot videos. My favorites. I also appreciate folks who like to squeeze a penny and get what they can for free on trips! Well played.
Thanks for the video memories. I was a Flight Engineer for Atlas and had many days where I had to do the same thing. Short notice, long commercial deadhead, rest, then operate a flight. I once went New York to Hong Kong on United. When I got hired Atlas had 6 -200's and all we did was cargo. It was the start of the internet and we were always fully loaded with computer components. I miss the people most of all. Of course I wasn't a pilot so when the -200's went away so did I. So look down when you are flying over Alabama I'll wave.
Great editing Kelsey! If you have someone doing the editing for you, Please let them know what a great job they did!
ya I couldn't put something together like this. I give him my trash clips and he gives me the videos back looking like what you watched haha
@@74gear Hi Kelsey
When are you going to correct the BASIC mistake you made trying to rubbish that BA Captain decision not to accept
180 kts to 5 DME 22L JFK.
You showed the chart for
RWY 31.....you muppet.
I don't know a single B747-400 Captain who would accept that clearance.
That's probably why you are still a co-pilot. ..
Rong Wunway chart.
Oh ...for your needed education
5 DME on 22 L ILS is ONLY
3.6 NM FROM THE RUNWAY. ...
NOT CO-LOCATED. ...
You only impress armchair and the ignorant....
Your level.
@@74gear how long did it take him to give you back the final cut?
@@stefannicolaescu294 3 and a half years roughly
He’s always in a cheery mood I never thought of that
Love the behind-the-scenes, day-in-the-life, pilot lifestyle videos. Great evolution of the channel.
Thanks for sharing the clear waters of Guam. Don’t think I’ll ever get there. It looks so beautiful and warm. Stay safe and look forward to the next flight.
Excellent video Kelsey, well done. Truly appreciated every second of this video. Thank you.
I haven't watched one of your videos in awhile because UA-cam hasn't been recommending them but holy crap has your video quality gone up
This was a fun pilot vlog, a nice insight in to the day to day of being a pilot!
that's so cool! I was right there just last week. I live in Western Australia.
Enjoyed the video, Kelsey. You've really got a great job.
