Bora Bora Is AMAZING!! - Pilot VLOG 084

[@davidbates5281]

The island looks the same as it did in 1978 when i visited. Lucky guys.

[@gregmink]

that wing view on takeoff....the reason the rewind button was created. Had to watch that a few times. Great stuff!

[@paolofrancisco925]

Premier 1 Driver a VLOG with sean and john would be nice

[@pyroman590]

I was curious if they watched one anothers content. A collaboration would be awesome!

[@whatiswe]

I hear you. A Magnificent view. What colors!

[@jeremymendoza4394]

Well, I'm getting nothing done at work lol. Damn...that view on the climbout! Thanks for another great video guys!

[@mikelyons3117]

I don't know how you find the time to record and edit these videos but thank you very much for doing so .

[@av8tore71]

After the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States chose the main island of Bora Bora to serve as a military supply basein the South Pacific, under the covert name “Operation Bobcat.” The tiny island was stocked with ships, equipment, an airstrip, and more than 7,000 soldiers, although it never saw combat. I'm a 20 US Army Combat VET and I've never been stationed in such a beautiful island other than Guam Bora Bora is beautiful. Thanks for the video, this was awesome!!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Great info...Thank you!

[@av8tore71]

Mike A. I was CID Criminal Investigation, like your NIS or NCIS depending on when you served. Thank you for your service as well Sir! You do know what NAVY stands for right?? N never A again V volunteer Y yourself I'm full of it today for reason, coffees guess or the Glasair III TIO-540 I just got 40 hrs test flights so I can take pax's now

[@Moonraker11]

This was interesting! I'm trying to envision how they got that equipment up the side of that hill in the 1940's?

[@tomm7301]

Av8tore71 Thanks for the info sir.

[@fredlougee2807]

@@Moonraker11 You do know that the United States Military Academy was founded as an engineering school so that the Army would have an Officer Corps educated for situations just like this. Not trying to be snarky. The Army Corps of Engineers builds bridges, roads, civil works, Combat Engineers can do incredible thing in short order under enemy fire. Getting a gun emplacement up a hill is a fairly simple, straightforward operation compared to all of that. I would imagine they used their biggest Caterpillar tractors and towed everything up.

[@MrNice-gw5dt]

two guy's i'd fly with anytime so proffessional.....thanks John and Sean.....please do more!

[@andrews640]

Remarkable and amazing place. Truly an island paradise. Thanks for sharing.

[@bananarepublic505]

This place is a bucket list item that’ll probably never come to fruition but your video took me there and I appreciate that. I also love the inflight footage. Keep safe!

[@72cmcinc]

Thanks for the look. My favorite place I have ever been. Loved bloody Mary’s and the best scuba diving I have ever done. Looked like a Picasso trigger (humuhumu). Awesome job!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

It definitely tops my list as well...and you're exactly correct on the trigger. I'll never be able to pronounce the full name of that thing. Humuhumunukunukuapua'a

[@skyking8498]

thats what I like to see not just the flight, they are all the same, but a little of the interior that they are visiting and the food they are eating giving a little drama to the flight making it an interesting area in case we want to visit the place we have some heads up on the area. Good job.

[@tiluriso]

Amazing scenery especially @ 7:07-14 = the most perfect beach. Great video.

[@andyengle]

11:55 What an incredible view!

[@sirmium12]

Absolutely stunning views ...

[@davevandusen7737]

Awesome video, Shaun! That view of Bora Bora on the climb out was stunning! I’d love to go there.

[@XX-166]

Here I am again looking at older videos of these two in a cockpit. Presidential 69!!!!

[@dmacdonell]

What a beautiful departure from Bora Bora and approach to Tahiti. Looks like a fantastic place to fly a floatplane.

[@norbute]

Fantastic cockpit management. Fantastic scenery. More of same please.

[@yaronsteinbuch3956]

Another terrific video. Thanks also for the scenic tour of beautiful Bora Bora. It was the next best thing to being there.

[@YYChinook]

Great flights guys, take a trip with Jon and Shaun great team, Thanks, Hi to Andrea and the tour of the island,,WOW.

[@SumguyinTX]

Ok I need to stop watching your videos, ,I keep adding places to visit to my bucket list. Great stuff , love watching your adventures , keep,up the great job.

[@psod23]

how crazy is this,,, just stumbled on your channel,,, and clicked on this video because I've been,, there.. my wife and I stayed in that exact bungalow,,,I'm a bit of an aircraft buff ,, if you want to call it that,,,, been to St.Maarten many times and never get bored watching the planes there,,

[@ahooogerhuis]

Awesome video, especially when you caught a peek at the rare soutern pacific elephant seal at 4:46. It's barely viewable in the distance just under the surface.

[@rfriesen1644]

As a general aviation pilot I really appreciate the videos from a corporate perspective. The two pilot cockpit and jet flying provide us with a lot of tips that help make us better pilots.

[@charlessteven8825]

Wonderful video.Thank you guys,you work so nicely together and the teamwork is always great. Greetings from Germany.

[@rwilson881]

Wow Shaun that right wing shot on the Bora Bora departure is now my desktop background. Great vid n editing. Thanks

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I was just thinking about doing exactly that...glad you like it!

[@GordyJosie]

Magic views of Bora Bora when departing.

[@richschindler8731]

RETIRED corporate pilots retired life here. Really enjoying your videos. Although they make me want to come out of retirement. Ahhh, the good ole days.

[@BeechSportBill]

Loaded flight plan into ForeFlight - WOW - that's a lot of water!

[@Moonraker11]

Is there any way to see this route without ForeFlight?

[@BeechSportBill]

Fleebob google earth...

[@donc9751]

What amazing views you guys had on Bora Bora and flights in and out,

[@goosebutterfield2429]

Nice, man. This is nice. Like the route. Bora Bora to Oahu. Love it.

[@alexholland1642]

Superb vid Sean. Best one yet. Keep them coming.

[@campchairchris]

Shawn, Honestly I enjoy the site seeing and the out of the cockpit stuff every bit as much as the flying! I also noticed Jon gets very animated at the mention of food! Big smiles at the 39 min mark. Great video. Chris

[@CorporatePilotLife]

The funny thing is that I'm the skinny one, but I'm the one always needing to eat. I have the short range tanks, as they say.

[@LeeShand]

What a gorgeous place. You are very lucky people!

[@andytaylor1588]

What a life.....get to fly, get to vacation, get excellent food service! ...and runway lights in Hawaii which served more as mood lighting than as navigation aids. Love glass cockpits, eh?

[@kymbiddell7467]

Thanks for showing us around the island, great place to get stuck for a few days. That last approach was very dark, runway lights did not seem to show at all, well done

[@Moonraker11]

Would love to see a brief of what survival equipment is required onboard for these long oceanic overflights...

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That would be a cool Tech video...great suggestion!

[@BeechSportBill]

UNPROTECTED firing positions! - thought you learned your flip-flop lesson in that little pond!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

You would think...

[@alexgowen6853]

This is why I love your videos (or at least one reason) is because it’s like a tv show of your life

[@bzakie2]

You guys are so disciplined with your pre T/O and landing checks. It’s a pleasure to watch.

[@61sasquatchwilson74]

Man, all your videos are hypnotic...Awesome! You guys are living the dream.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you!

[@flyboybobio3431]

Beautiful flight. Bora Bora looks amazing. One of these days.

[@nilslindenblad2282]

Now were talking...Bora Bora is on my list of places to see. The US used the main island at Bora Bora for a supply base in WW II, but there was never any combat there. I'll look for your card there and get a pic, got get a tee...lol. Nice post.

[@ryanfortin4344]

Hey guys. Thanks for the great video. I got my first 1.3 hours of "Actual IMC" logged time this morning, so now I can "kind of" relate when you dodge the G4 in and out of those build-ups. 😀

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Nice! It's a little different, huh?

[@Joel3130]

Another awesome video! The scenery and drone shots taken of Bora Bora were fantastic, especially the view out your window on the departure. I liked how Jon told Andrea to bring his food first, lol! You guys are awesome, keep up the great work and the Corporate Pilot Life!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

It really is a beautiful place...

[@jerryrounds8586]

Absolutely the best videos Corporate Pilot's Life. Thank you for your continued efforts. Looked like great fun in Bora Bora.

[@tangolima4148]

Great video. The ‘weird line’ to the water on Tahiti is for big A/C looking further ahead over the nose in order to stay on the line and then turn. Interesting though. Small field ops for big a/c.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

AAAHHHH...that makes total sense. Thank you!

[@dhammarosi]

Wow, you even have CRM while fishing. Impressive team indeed.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I never really noticed that, but yeah I guess so. I suppose if you make it part of normal life, it's super easy in the airplane...

[@bml33]

Suggestion: next time you do a flight into southern latitudes it would be cool to show a closeup of a screen that shows your latitude as you cross the equator and go from positive to negative or vice versa.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Ask and you shall receive! Check out the 6:50 mark of the below video. This was one of our more enjoyable trips with some fun clips if you haven't seen it yet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJO9XoOPm8Zqe7s

[@niceguy2171]

That is one of the funniest videos you guys ever put out! And while the crossing 'bump' was cool, I prefer 6:20 of that video on as it was one of the parts that made me really LOL,. Such a interesting video that is, and the whole crew was in a joking around mood in it.

[@bml33]

Hahaha! Scared the crap out of Francine with the bump at the equator! That was great. What is the range on that Gulfstream? You guys have done some seriously long flights.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We can go about 4,000 nautical miles with no wind and still have reserve fuel. That's a little over 9 hours.

[@petesy03]

Corporate Pilot Life i

[@joesphbest3120]

Fantastic pictures of Bora Bora from the air, Beautiful beyond belief, never been there, but like to go. You guys did a good job. Guam has big guns in the jungle like that.

[@TahitiChris]

Great video! The Society Islands are amazing and it was great to see the sights from the flight deck.

[@fetchit55]

Rough life, but you guys seem to be adjusting to it. 😊👍

[@davidwells9663]

Great video guys. Keep them up and safe flying.

[@joesphbest3120]

Above the Clouds some great shots, very good guys.

[@johndonaldson5126]

Nice. So smooth.

[@apterex]

Shaun awesome video, loved the underwater and drone shots, would be great to get those gigs once or twice a year :-)

[@cjsweesy7338]

Man guys, gotta say.... I’m chasing the Airline pilot dream, so naturally I watch a lot of KZbin and obviously ....aviation videos. But you guys have class. Love it!!! Keep up the great work!!! One of our Captains talks up the corporate gig....you guys prove it! My kids love you guys as well! ~loud applause~ . Keep the dirty side down!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thanks CJ Sweesy! Enjoy that Airline life!

[@anthonystotts85]

Always enjoy watching your videos! Especially the longer ones, it’s like I’m glued to the screen!! Great views, great shots, y’all have the best job hands down!!! Keep em comin!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thanks!

[@Dan-rl8qk]

What a view. Great video as always

[@TheDisabledGamersChannel]

What a spectacularly beautiful place, the bungalo's out on the water is awesome, next summer gonna have to make it out there, we went to St. Maarten in June, it's a plane watchers dream destination, great video, look forward to the next.

[@andrewaley4116]

Love the video. Sure is a beautiful place and sure love the water there. The view on takeoff was amazing. Keep up the great work.

[@TheDaddrummer]

Wow, I have a new aviation favorite channel. I absolutely love the mix of flying and site seeing. Fantastic job! New subscriber and am binge watching now and looking forward to new content. Awesome!!!!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Glad to hear it!

[@Damianthelovetour2024]

Dang that was dim runway lights. Gorgeous islands

[@space1commander]

Very nice!. You guys are very lucky to have Hot flight attendants.

[@OrrTrigger013]

Awesome footage! John, thanks for releasing the Huma Huma Trigger!

[@richardvarner2802]

Thank you, Shaun and Jon, for sharing such a beautiful place with us, your viewers. I know it’s a place that I’ll never have the opportunity to visit. So, I appreciate being able to watch you, Jon, and Andrea enjoy all the amenities of such a beautiful island. It is so hard to believe that the water there is SO clear. Nice job, Jon, catching that shark. How in the Heck, did y’all get that hook out of that shark’s mouth? Look forward to seeing the video of the trip back to the mainland, and on to Florida. Happy Flying, and Safe Landings.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thanks Richard! The next segment is in the editing process now...should be out later this week. We actually opted to not remove the hook from that shark's mouth. The way I tie the line, I'm able to cut it at a distance from the mouth and remove the line leaving just the hook. It will rust out in just a few days in that salt water. It was in the very corner of it's mouth, so it shouldn't interfere at all with it's eating in the mean time. Thanks for following along!

[@joebumbaugh2365]

Stunning views!

[@mike95826]

I have been to Bora Bora, Moorea and a couple of the other islands years ago when Exploration Cruise Lines had a small cruise ship there. Good that you got to Bloody Mary's. Is the sign with all the celibrity names on it still there? An old rocker Billy Idol was there when we were and the people I was with saw a few more well know people. When snorkeling or scuba, look out for the stone fish, if you get stung by one it could kill you. I just loved the clear water.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

It's definitely a beautiful area. That sign is still there with all the famous people on it...very cool!

[@czorn25_gaming]

Another good video guys. Reading the comments and love how you guys interact with everyone. Be safe guys.

[@cryptosquirrel7611]

When I worked on cruise ships South Pacific was my favorite run. Caribbean is nice but Polynesia is the definition of 'tropical island'. Loved going to the little grocery store to the left of the tender quay and buying baguettes, French cheese and pates and frozen peas to feed the fish. Sneaking into the high end hotel beach and having incredible afternoons. No need to snorkel to watch fantastic array of fish. OH yeah, and Bloody Mary's .

[@coma13794]

Incredible video on this whole trip, thx so much for posting. Appreciated the route planning charts and you going through the logic, too. I'm well versed on US ATC procedures (my company provides ATC simulation services), but this was my first time hearing international ATC. As always, seeing this level of CRM is impressive, you guys are killing it. Love hearing the thinking behind weather diversions, quick climbs to get above weather, etc. That's what it's all about right there. Your pax couldn't be in better hands. Lastly, we're helping GS with human factors testing on the G500 + G600. I hope you get to experience that flight deck at some point. It's quite the airplane.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Very cool! I certainly hope to get into the G500 or G600 as well. They are definitely awesome planes. I saw one doing some test flying a few months ago...beautiful

[@tomm7301]

Absolutely amazing! Really entertaining content and super production. This has to be favorite yet. Many thanks!

[@leatherwoodjay]

Very nice! Great job as usual! Thanks from Houston!

[@lvthud]

Well, 3 years later and we finally booked a trip to Tahiti and Bora Bora. So looking forward to this trip and the beautiful islands.

[@AuditRecon]

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the videos of the trip. Great job.

[@teddybear3552]

Hello - I am so happy to have found your channel a couple of days ago. Is it possible to hear the thrust of the engines when you take off - its sooo exciting! ??

[@frankmcgee7158]

Excellent footage, thanks for sharing that.

[@gervers]

Paradise!

[@geoffeg]

I was surprised Bora Bora had a tower. Surely there's not a lot of traffic in and out of there.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

definitely not much traffic there

[@Moonraker11]

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder what they do to fight off boredom?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Pick on the flight attendant...

[@shugacane]

The videos are only getting better! Keep it up

[@maartenjs]

I am so jealous I think I need to unsubscribe for a while. Stunning scenery!

[@davidellsworth173]

Vamanos! I'm hooked.

[@kevinferrell6466]

A T-shirt? All the way to Bora Bora for a tee? Hmm. I was thinking more along the line of a jumpseat ride from somewhere far far away to somewhere else far far away.

[@briandavis28]

Nice landing back in Hawaii

[@codyghost297]

So awesome, amazing views thank you for sharing! See ya guys in the next video. ✌️

[@s.v.5052]

Been flying heli for 10 years, but pretty damn cool seeing you guys fly. Makes me want to get my fixed wing license.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I've never been in a helicopter before...it's on the bucket list

[@ronlanter6906]

I love your videos. You're living the dream! Thanks for sharing.

[@stuartvarvel27]

Brilliant video guys really enjoyed it.

[@sqvision]

Awesome vid! Especially the snorkling part and the wingview on departure. Jon is as clumsy as I am? He also drops his iPad to the floor so now and than? See he also uses the Otterbox just as I do :-).

[@redriverraider]

On the water room/huts. Sewer lines to/from the island? Compost toilets? or........?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Full amenities...plumbing, sewer lines, A/C, etc.

[@mcmediaandfilm]

Greetings from the UK, love your videos /vlogs keep up the great work guys ,like from me not sure who could dislike this type of video lol

[@Captnoatp]

Boy,.. do you guys have a tough job. Glad it’s not me😎 What a place and absolute fabulous footage. I’m still laughing after your last “flipper dive" in Hawaii 😃 Thanks for letting us tag along. My favorite channel by far.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thanks! I don't think I'll be living down that swim any time soon...

[@VibeXplorer]

My god...that overwing shot looking back at Bora Bora is of the greatest climb-out views of all time. Clickbait thumbnail? Nope, just a frame taken from the actual video. Wonderful video and what an amazing life experience. Appreciate also the cockpit talk.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you!

[@barrysmith5306]

Amazing scenery thanks for sharing with us, great job guys

[@williegillie5712]

I think the best view of all was over the wing on take off. Man what a beautiful island. Sad story that guy the stole the dash 8. At least he got to do what no other pilot was able to do with that plane.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Agreed...

[@peep39]

John could easily pull off the pirate look

[@johnfreels9896]

ARRRRRR ;)

[@ricardoq.3801]

Great CRM between you guys really awesome 👏

[@jimbob3245]

saw Andrea today. put 50 in the center tank to fuel the APU and 850 in the mains.

[@hoss1003]

Hey guys, great flying, great videos.. But, not to good at getting that Bug of the windshield.. Shaun lol

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Yeah...I know. Maybe someday I'll find a ladder to get up there and clean it off...

[@ThomasR119]

Bora Bora is amazing! Thanks for the videos.

[@tt-mt7rn]

The "new" attendant Andrea seemed fairly cool too. Friendly, participated in your outings, and easy on the eyes. Still love Francine, but enjoyed Andrea too. They could've given ya Broomhilda..
