Hey there can you tell me about the sex you had with airplane?

[@bobbertwestly7724]

Can airplanes have sex?

I like how your British accent progressively evolved into an Australian one through your departure from London.

[@rorypuds]

He went from Harry Potter to Aussie convict in less than 5 minutes!

[@johns6787]

All true. I'm just wondering if HE noticed 🤣😂 NOT calling anyone out. I do the same thing in the US South after living there for 10+ years

[@tboneisgaming]

It sounded South African to me.

[@Jeagles]

Yeah I concur with the South African assessment

[@goldcoast8549]

as an aussie, i agree with the south african assessment

[@lepeke]

I mean this as a compliment, I use your long-flight videos to get to sleep. When my mind can't shut up about stressful things there is something about your calm, professional voice, the chatter of the ATC, the white noise of the plane in flight that can finally make it ok to sleep. Don't get me wrong, your funny stuff is why I started watching you, but discovering that these more straight forward videos can let me finally rest after fighting to sleep for hours and hours has been very nice. Thank you.

[@GCAT01Living]

Dude, I do this with every FS KZbinr. Plane noise and radio chatter put me right to sleep.

[@philhines]

I also recommend Vitamin D, good diet, reduce blue light at night, and go to bed before you actually intend to go to sleep ;) gotchoo buddy!

[@SuperGenericUser]

Google "listen to the clouds". Great service where you can stream real ATC combined with calm music or white noise (Or just the ATC).

[@bait28]

I might make a like 8 hour compilation audio clip just for this reason, assuming no one beats me to it

[@jackryan4313]

Same. It complicates things when I get behind the actual stick of a real plane tho...whoops

Happy Cross the Pond week!

[@No-jb6fy]

You're a skilled creator, a really good mix of piloting, instruments, communications and fun/humour in a quick vid.

[@Jacob_Watcham]

I want more conversations between Austin and AFP in cruise! 👌

[@andrewhickinbottom1051]

The sheer confident, casual and convincing nature of that British accent makes me think Mr Proud is a spy in his spare time. Great video as always - beautiful visuals especially! MSFS still blows my mind how good it looks.

[@ciscoponch67]

“Are you making your voice deeper?” Rocket wheedles. “No,” says the still husky-voiced and apparently wildly insecure Peter. Later on, we see Thor stepped close and threatening, saying, “Are you mocking me?” but Peter doubles down, telling the Guardians, “He’s trying to copy me.” 😮

[@Michael_Michaels]

Welcome to Lisbon, my good sir! Next time choose Oporto as landing airport and I'll pick you up!

[@3rdalbum]

Isn't Oporto a fast food restaurant?

[@Ironminer97]

I love these videos but i hate to say it, you should bring back ATC videos. Those were a hoot to watch

[@harr_m]

got to love the british accent talking to atc 😂

[@SCWC499]

Your British accent omg you sound just like us

[@Strathclydegamer]

Nothing like sitting down and watching some MSFS content from the goat GP69 🔥🔥

"it's virtual. It's not gonna kill your plane"

[@arkadyromanov7803]

Love the English accent that gradually became a generic Commonwealth accent with a bit of Aussie, South African and New Zealand. Do you even realize you're doing it or does it just happens when speaking to non Americans over radio?

[@StarTheAvgeek]

Always a good day when I get that upload notification!

I think you should to flight to the Santas Town (Rovaniemi) During december

[@nicksttrs]

God, my ADD I would not be able to be a pilot. Always having to relay back the info the ATC said.. i would be like, ugh something, something hold short right, and what was that other part again? lmao 🤣 my mind be going places

Always nice to see another GroundPound69 video.

[@xisg0ne854]

Yo Cool

[@scevvin7788]

I'm waiting on the FAA to allow me to start my private pilot's license training, so in the meantime, are there VATSIM servers that train or are more beginner-leaning to learn ATC communications?

[@kueflies]

General advice is to go to smaller less busy airports since they will be easier to navigate and you won't cause much stress if you make mistakes. And mention you're just starting in your flightplan. Keep in mind you are still required to know how to fly the plane and the general ATC flow even as a beginner.

[@C0d1X]

Yes, Groundpound69 is back! :D

[@HolM661]

how do you do so that you can see the correct aircraft type of the other pilots

You were quite late to post this cross the pond was a month ago😂

[@CraigH2288]

If it's eastbound across the pond how we're you taking off from London shouldn't you have been coming from the States or am I just misunderstanding the whole thing lol

[@beeble2003]

IRL, Heathrow uses one runway for landing and one for takeoff. Also, none of this clearing one plane to land while another's still on the runway -- that's only a US thing.

[@alfredsnyder4]

Hey At Least Your Squawk Code Wasn't 1666 Or 6661

[@cronk6879]

IM not gonna lie, i wish i knew how to use mfsfs like this. certainly make it worth the money.

[@alexbell2483]

@Airforceproud95 I have MSFS, how do I use this? Would love to learn how.

[@doneckert8990]

It’s called vatsim, you should watch a video on it. You should learn the basic components of an airplane and know about ATC communication.

[@RG-tm7uq]

I’ve been watching him for a few years. Maybe im missing out on a link but does anyone know what is PC specs are?

[@lolbean1237]

dude tf is he doing it so that i even like the ads in his videos!?

Me too!

[@YouTubeIsSeriouslyFucked]

How the flying heck did hot air balloons even manage to go 400 Knots? Or even keep up with an F/A-18C/E going over Mach 1.3 in FSX? I know the game was still old but you'd figure even then they would want to prioritize realism

Requesting IFR in War Thunder was your first mistake, should have requested VFR

[@Airforceproud95]

Great point

[@kueflies]

Love the London controllers. They always do a fantastic job even with all the traffic they get. Never had a bad time flying in or out of there. Also love seeing some more subtitles again and with the nice motion tracking.

[@jcbcran55]

I like he tries to do a english accent but to be fair no one would care if you did your normal voice and used the english language (not the american rubbish)

[@kingbuckyduck5669]

Video #3 of asking GroundPound69 to fly some vintage planes i.e. Concorde, 707, Bae-146, DC-3, DC-10, etc.

[@MichaelFormoso]

"And a brief moment to talk about Jesus Chr...or uhhh...War Thunder!" OMG, that tickles me. I love this channel. Every video is just a rip roarin' good time.

[@WolftrackerTV]

“Getting their salad tossed”. Less than a minute later “let’s talk about Jesus Christ” Nothing but the best transitions from AirLordAndSaladTosser69

[@William43275]

Yes if the aircraft starts banking 70 degrees, you will be talking about Jesus Christ real fast

[@merrynesther]

as a brit, your accent is close but it’s far from perfect. the way you said ‘start’ was scarily accurate though. i wonder if this is how americans feel when we do their accent.

[@stewpuddy4161]

I miss groundpound69. He was a weird Florida man but, we didn't know how much we needed him until he was gone. Elephant.

[@chrissugg968]

That is.... a surprisingly good accent, although it does wander around geographically a bit from syllable to syllable.

[@chrissugg968]

oops well, it starts to go a little australian once he's in the air.

Can you do a flight from Manila, Philippines back to the United States ether airport of San Francisco or Portland, Oregon @Airforceproud95 ?

Much prefer this style of video, still funny, still entertaining but I do prefer and appreciate the effort towards realism. The hot air balloon stuff was alright but personally my taste is for more of this.

[@maxjohn6012]

Very impressed by your British accent, a solid 8/10 - miles better than most Americans' attempts that I've heard. Nice video too :)

[@Odontomango]

0:10 Boss man, if it's a cargo variant, it's not intercontinental. 747-8i is the passenger version. The one you flown was a 747-8F.

[@RepoDraghon]

You do what you got to do and what you like to do but I'm going to be completely honest I totally miss the tomfoolery including high speed passes of hot air balloons...

11:45 Subtitles inaccurate - card is given as 4550, which would indicate it is a VISA, not an Amex. Amex would start with a 3.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who wobbles a bit on the glide slope. I was actually getting better at landing, but have regressed. I think it was the fact that I put a Spirit livery on my A320 one day. It's gone to sh*t ever since then. Great video! Thanks for the content!
