So I made sure everything was ready to go... then our son decided not to go. Disappointing, but our son is a hard working young man trying to maintain his work-life balance.

@@fuhkerz -- As you might have noticed, it was 90 minutes notice, but then he flew (as a passenger) to another city, and had time to rest (sort of), and then when he boarded his plane, he wasn't on the first shift, so he had even more time to sleep. It's a lousy schedule, but it worked. I'm uncertain how many snacks he managed to score though.

You are part of the story! No big event goes off without so SO many people doing their job, their part. You’re not on the “credits” but without you doing your job, no way that concert happens. Same as the roadies, lumpers, and ramp crews! Your bird doesn’t fly without the dueler, the ground marshals, the tug operator. You know that. They’re all part of the story, whether they know it or not, whether they get credit or not. Even down to the people that built the gear you’re flying to AU.

Loved that entire video and trip! Thank you!

[@tatlowtimes]

I love your reaction videos, but love these even more. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the story about being a part of the team that made the concert happen. Its too easy to fight your way through the day and feel bad about it. It helps to be reminded sometimes to take a minute and appreciate that your work makes things happen in the world.

I worked one of the stops on Taylor’s US tour. It’s so fun to see who all ends up involved in the industry.

[@k.c1126]

I wish more people at the top / front would recognize, acknowledge and respect the importance of all the different parts of the teams that make things happen, in everyday life and for special events.

We really appreciate you making the effort to produce these videos. Looking forward to the next one ! Thanks.

[@NicolaW72]

Thank you very much for this inside!🙂👍

[@rogerh2272]

This was fun! Thanks for the video! For those of us who fly vicariously through you, it's always a delight, even to see the challenges as things evolve.

Flying Taylor Swift’s stuff, cool

[@thatjpwing]

That was a most excellent video. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventure. I always look forward to your updates.

[@veritasweasel]

Love your videos and flying. Hate the hurry up and wait life, never knowing when the call will come. Have fun, buddy. I hope it’s always worth it for you!

[@AussieMozzie107]

Cool to hear you flew down to my home city, I’ve been watching you since the beginning.

[@bousquethouse398]

Some people never truly understand the impact they have on others lives and experiences. Feeling like you are a part of it is totally justified as it gives you satisfaction in a job well done. Love hearing about aviation from your perspective.

[@rosc2022]

Great video. Thanks, Kelsey! Groundpounder here, but one who traveled with the planes. So many memories you sparked for me. Holy cow, there's nothing like being out in front of the plane for an 03 launch. In the dark. With all the strobes and lights going. Salute, and off you go! 😊

[@agilechange722]

@Kelsey, this was actually my favorite video of yours. Lively, and forward energy, very little repetition. Thanks!

[@williammahaffy4642]

The effort to plan, film, edit, narrate and publish these vids is amazing. Outstanding effort and fantastic final product. Keep it going

[@Kimberly-lp4nh]

That was a super soothing and really enjoyable video. Still lots of quality content within a chill vibe. Learned a lot and like seeing Kelsey seeming to be in his zone and generally relaxed/happy.

[@dabzprincess92]

One day I hope my dad gets to meet you and take a picture with you for me he flies all the time because he's a first responder and they deploy him a lot of different places and man did you guys just miss each other at airports this year I couldn't believe it. You're like my Gordon Ramsay of the air. ❤ I love your journey Kelsey. Nothing weird 🤣 just spreading positivity.

[@kellingc]

This was a cool vlog - Thank you for editing and posting this.

[@rowan1555]

I love these vlogs, feels like I'm tagging along. That part you said you can remember their full story but their name escapes you - I can absolutely relate!

[@__maxwell_]

Been avidly watching your content for ages…this is - without doubt- my fave. Great story, variety and insight. Kudos ✌🏼

[@DesertSolutions]

Excellent "story" video today Kelsey, I always enjoy your content, your videos, your channel, this one was excellent, good pace, transitions and story telling... you did great with this in my opinion.

[@TH75767]

been watching for a while. Love how the quality of or videos has improved...your subscriber numbers reflect that im sure. Good stuff...entertaining. keep it up and fly safe.

[@IHaulBoxes]

@4:57 THAT IS SO TYPICAL! As pilots we are just so used to rushing and getting things done, just to wait some more... That anticipatory stress is so recognizable. That on top of the: "Oh I have 5 more hours"... "I Have 4 more hours"... "I have 3 more hours"... The better the sleep in the bunks!

[@LM-tl5bd]

What a fantastic video! Thanks for posting it! You're very good at narration and connecting with your audience! Love seeing all of your travels!

[@zigbeed]

Your editing is amazing! Keep up the great Vlog man!

[@danielmacdonald3130]

i absolutely loved this video, you should do more like this

[@larryeans4072]

Loved this video, sharing with my daughter who is in flight school in Arizona. You shared some of the highs and lows. Love the channel 74.
