My First Time landing at LAX! - Pilot VLOG 069

Here are a couple of legs from Orlando International to Las Vegas International, then to Los Angeles International in a private Gulfstream jet. The night landing into Las Vegas was quite beautiful. This was my first time landing at LAX, so I was very excited.

[@joesphbest3120]

I didn't realize how busy you are on the radio all the way across the U S and how they regulate all you do , how high and your speed. You guys have one heck of a job. I'm seeing a lot of the country I haven't seen in 50 yrs. Thanks.

[@deibertmichael]

When I was a kid Vegas had an airport (very small) and a small strip with a small downtown. That was it! Now the whole valley is developed!

[@jeremymendoza4394]

The crew resource management between you two is amazing. Keep up the good work!

[@jerrykorman7770]

Husker Pilot what’s amazing is they appear to be friends off duty. I have always tended to keep colleagues out of my personal time

[@ksfixitmangaming617]

A novas comment. If I was flying with you guys and there was an emergency. After watching how well you both work together I would have NO worries at all of your ability to deal with it. I also love all the extra video parts like the outside the flying world when your on the ground. I am loving watching your videos and hope to see many more. Thanks for all your hard work .

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you! We really appreciate it!

[@billirvin9057]

I flew as a C-130 crew member with the US Air Force back in the 70's & 80's ... very impressed with their crew coordination. As long as they've obviously flown together, never a deviation.

[@dominikjericho5749]

sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost my login password. I would love any help you can offer me.

[@caideneduardo8700]

@Dominik Jericho Instablaster =)

[@dominikjericho5749]

@Caiden Eduardo thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@carlmclelland7624]

WOW! WHAT a trip down memory lane! A former controller at Las Vegas tower/TRACON (77-79) and Los Angeles TRACON afterward, plus extensive flying in/out of both LAS and LAX. Retired from flying after a Citation CJ2 gig in 2008. Fly safe.... "MD" my ATC controller initials

[@ElbertPoling]

These videos are addicting! Just wanted to share that my first trip into LAX was a night landing (I was a passenger) and it was so beautiful, all lit up; and HUGE! Man that city is big! I look forward to more comments with you guys.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

It is certainly a huge city...beautiful place though.

[@TheRorymcloughlin]

Pure Pros, I am always amazed at Johns impeccable manners, his mother must be very proud, good on you Jon!

[@jerrykorman7770]

R Mac Jon is way more polite than I ever could be ...

[@Tom_YouTube_stole_my_handle]

Yes, I have always been struck by Jon's courtesy too.

[@TheRorymcloughlin]

Opps, Apologies Jon!!

[@Mikeabq1]

Love watching the old P 69 vids. Great crew work. I miss it.

[@Wendygirljp]

In 'n Out - You said the magic words! Whenever I go to see my family in SoCal or my sweetie in KLAS, no matter what time, I HAVE to have the Double Double #1!

[@TCB-1]

Imagine you spent 50 gallons of Jet A just taxiing in Las Vegas, wow! The sky and the lights of LV really made that a visually appealing approach!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

At least...

[@philanderson1200]

Anyone besides me watching Shaun and John flights again?

[@rfish3556]

Jon looks like a Cali boy, he's made for that town. Plus there is an empanada stand on ever corner!

[@jerrykorman7770]

R Fish if Jon shaved his head and got a bunch of tats, he would look as if he meant business

[@jeffreystaley5266]

Enjoyed that voyage. You two work together really well and I enjoy the discipline and precision required to operate your amazing plane.

[@mickely0]

Honestly, how can anyone possibly give these videos a thumbs down, they must be some jealous sad individual. Excellent work chaps I envy your job. Mick

[@faithdurrer8614]

I agree, a thumbs down can be nothing but a reflection ( and a bad one) on the person who give it for these videos.

[@wkdravenna]

Maybe Shaun or Jon stole their girlfriend and they are legit upset? Holding that grudge you know. Its just a possibility idk if it's true.

[@simoninglis7437]

I find these videos incredibly soothing and calming. To be honest, I use them as a symbol for how to approach my day's work. I want it to be well planned in advance, have an acute awareness of time, space and other traffic, keep all communications open, keep my eyes open, enjoy the view, avoid bad weather where possible, and deal with any and all problems in a calm and systematic manner. The way you guys fly....is the way I want to live my life. Thanks and keep up the good work. If you ever make it to Adelaide, let me show you the Botanical Gardens, local beaches and Barossa Wine region.

[@brianpreblich5123]

The men have the matching Breitling's on.. Very nice.. Thanks guys for the great video!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

You bet! Thanks!

[@rkspdx]

There goes another 45 mins! Great stuff, keep them coming!

[@John_Be]

I like the longer ones from time to time!

[@canadiandude1974]

Started watching on Saturday and have been hooked ever since. Really enjoy these vids. Thx for all the effort you put into editing these!

[@richschindler8731]

Brings back some good old memories. I must have done the EWR-LAX trip like 100 times. Way back when I was, living the corporate pilots life. Great video

[@bellscourt1]

this just reminds me of my first and only landing at lax,3 years ago ,as a passanger,brings back the origanal excitement we felt at the time,class.

[@lunchboxdon]

The ONLY problem with this channel is that it doesn't post enough. I could watch it daily.

[@TJLPA66]

I really appreciate you posting all your flights! I learn a lot from your videos! Thanks!

[@bigd-1-channel514]

Nice set of flight, dug the management into LAX despite the higher speeds. Followed it all via my charts. Man, I miss the beach, its been 13 years since I was out there.

[@flyingdutchman700]

To tell U the truth, I know quite a bit of the job. I'm an ''old'' ex- Portuguese Air Force pilot. I made my elementary and basic formation both with the De Havillland Chipmunk MkII, and the Cessna 372 Skymaster. After that I moved on to the Casa C212 Aviocar. I thought next obvious move would be the mighty Lockheed C130. But due the lack of formation courses at that particular time I change course and graduated as air traffic controller. But drawing a career in civil aviation, it would be a dream becoming a corporate pilot.

[@jamesfenton7338]

So, you got to visit Santa Monica and Venice, it used to be a nice place. Now it's just a tourist trap, and the original locals have been driven out. Gentrification in action, decided Oregon would be a nicer place. Oregon allows open carry, and that is a major selling point for me. I wished I could have had a sidearm in Venice, I might have stayed there longer.

[@Iflyarizona]

You got lucky and they had you on the south! That taxi can be brutal from the north to the south or vice versa. I’ve had a couple times from startup to wheels up over an hour , when taxiing from Atlantic over to the north side. It’s always nice when you get the south side🙌

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We actually went back to LAX a few weeks after this video and had to taxi to the north side. Wasn't quite an hour, but it was over a half hour.

[@Glideslopes]

Best clip yet. Nice job working (reminding) the SCT. I was waiting for an In-N-Out call out. They are Da Bomb. ; )

[@glennmiller394]

That 42 minutes flew by. Good stuff. Thanks.

[@TheNicko773]

Very good video.. That approach into Vegas was awesome with all the lights and little sky light in the background. Thumbs up for sure.!!!

[@joefranklin9305]

You guys were super busy on that approach. Excellent CRM as usual.

[@Jetairplane]

Excellent approach of the ANJLL3 and 25L!

[@mikeparker6322]

That was awesome. On final you can see Malibu on the right and Palos Verdes on the left. Ahh Inn and Out on Sepulveda. Great video as always.

[@mikeroy9528]

That was excellent! I pulled up the approach plate and airfield diagram and followed along, too cool.

[@philanderson1200]

Vegas to LA looking like you guys were puttin in some work. Great flight as always

[@airsideopslax7911]

sad I missed you guys,

[@scottbaker1018]

You and john can’t be out done.Yall were the shit

[@jeff737500]

Best 42 minutes of my day! Thanks guys.

[@bradwest8493]

That In N Out at the app end of LAX is pretty Kewl for plane watching. Takes about 45 minutes to get a hamburger though, one busy place, but worth it. Two busy airports, LAX and LAS.

[@ryanmosweiler]

Glad you have your priorities in order with In and Out Burger. Enjoy! You could at least post a picture of that goodness for us all to envy!

[@patthegrip]

Nice ending gentleman. Thanks.

[@Kld4402]

Absolutely beautiful on the sunset approach to Vegas! Sounded pretty busy on the LAX approach

[@ghl3488]

Good evening guys, really interesting episode in the 'Corporate Pilot Life' series. Great teamwork on the landing too at KLAX! You dont get far without teamwork thats for sure and thanks for the route too. regards Gareth

[@kavemanbites]

any flight including a Double Double is a great idea!

[@Joel3130]

That's a beautiful view of the landing into Las Vegas. It's cool to see the view from 26L because in your other videos your normally coming into 19R. Always enjoy watching you guys work

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Not too often we see 26L, the taxi takes forever, so we prefer 19R. Oh well, nice to mix it up every now and again.

[@jerrykorman7770]

Corporate Pilot Life you could almost read a chapter in a book with a taxi that long

[@loriflynn78]

That sky is beautiful 😊

[@LuciferMorningstarDanny]

This one was extra special guys . Love your work as always , Danny . If ever you’re in Australia (Brisbane) please be sure to look us up .

[@jamesoberg2820]

In n Out burger. You guys know all the right spots. They're the best. Oh!....The vid was nice also.

[@BenDoverII]

That approach and landing in Vegas......I just kept hearing ELVIS sing Viva Las Vegas!!!!!! Stunning!!!!!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We sing it almost every time we go in there at some point. Trust me when I tell you that you don't want to hear us singing.

[@jerrykorman7770]

Corporate Pilot Life why do you say that? We’ve already heard Jon’s surprisingly good Karaoke voice

[@BenDoverII]

Come on man!!!!!! You guys can belt out a couple of bars, just for fan intrest

[@jerrykorman7770]

ben dover agreed, Jon does a good Sinatra cover Strangers in the Night

[@tjsteele513]

Great video Sean.. John looks like a natural on that scooter.. Safe travels..

[@jerrykorman7770]

Tim Steele Jon does seem suspiciously proficient on that thing

[@freddybowman9905]

You guys have beat them all .

[@jeremyphillips2494]

Another airport off the old bucket list. What are some of the airports that you guys still want to land at for the first time.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Yes indeed. Innsbruck, Austria is at the top of my bucket list.

[@flyingdutchman700]

Although it's pretty obvious these 2 airman know their job well, thei're well tuned up together (as far as I know they fly together for more than 6 years). Oh, and ourstanding editing work also Shawn(wonder if I wrote it wright). Happy landings guys.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you! We really appreciate that...and it's actually spelled Shaun. No big deal though.

[@nicopistor62]

Love flying with you, from South Africa. Great work guys!

[@AprtMgr]

Venice Beach is a cool spot to hang out. Enjoyed my time in the LA area. Long way from TN though. In-n-Out burgers are the best. Animal style all the way baby!!

[@jeffreyg3831]

Speedbird was behind you when you were landing at KLAS. That’s British Airways from LHR.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Yes indeed

[@rainier4447]

that PAL plane is beautiful

[@LeeShand]

OH yeah! Great vlog. This is the best pilot vlog. No exceptions.

[@sqvision]

This video was my request in a comment on an earlier video. Thanks so much for sharing it. Never been to the States but seeing that Venice Beach bikepath is sooooooo GTA5 :-)

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I'm glad we got it in there for you! We actually went back to Venice beach with Francine a few weeks after this video was recorded. That will be coming out soon...

[@graycloud057]

I remember in training on the first time I tried landing in the dark back in the mid 1990's. Was in the 150 trainer. I flared to early and hit the runway so hard I thought I'd knocked the wheels off. lol.

[@jerrykorman7770]

graycloud057 yeah, the first few night landings make the palms sweat

[@austingreenheck1374]

I must say I did the same thing in a 150

[@lorenraines8621]

me too

[@guillaumetardieux1674]

Congrats for your landing in LAX ... Great video as always, thanks a lot for showing me US from the sky !!! Guillaume from France.

[@tomstranik6520]

Holy crap it’s N48GL! I used to fuel that bird at KANE. The owner is awesome

[@melisandemccalla1392]

Did you see the new G500 flight deck. Awesome. I think you should petition your boss

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I did...it looks amazing!

[@CarlitosSaidSo]

Cool watching you fly into my neck of the woods. Glad you had a fun time while you were here.

[@josephbaldino6253]

Great flight! Sean, nice touchdown at LAX too.

[@judgej.8816]

LAX seems to have friendly air traffic controllers 😊 I love...just seeing all the switches, screens & controls in your cockpit - above, in front & at yr sides. I have sooo many questions it would probably make you roll yr eyes, lol. So I will just watch & enjoy 💗

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Glad you're enjoying them! Feel free to ask questions tooo...

[@Northstar4653]

I know it's no biggie to you two or other pilots. But that night landing and then trying to keep the runway numbers straight. That one gets me. I see you have the map of the runways. But to keep it all straight ? Glad to see you made it back out here.

[@hoss1003]

The taxi and takeoff must have been brutal with all the heavy breathing.🤣 Good video as usual..🛩

[@jerrykorman7770]

Hoss I find Jon’s heavy breathing rather calming .... relaxing .... so sleepy ...

[@philipdarnall787]

In-N-Out might be worth the flight?! I'd like to give a big shout out to the Presidential Aviation company that you work for. They must know you are posting flights from their plane. Thank you for showing us what you do! Philip

[@IAmJustSaying6]

Good job. If I ever win the lottery, maybe, I'll take a flight somewhere with you guys!

[@gordonholland2374]

Thanks for the red arrow on the American Airlines plane during decent into LAX. So many times you guys are spotting things in the air like other planes, birds and airports, and to us with untrained eyes.....we can’t see squat!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Honestly, I cant usually see them on the video either. I always look for whatever it is over and over to try to mark it like I did here. Seeing these things in person is much easier than on video.

[@timothygraham6765]

You guys rock having to much fun

[@hoopsheavenpa]

As always, great video! Glad you made it to In and Out!

[@graysono]

Loved that you got to fly LAS-LAX and land at LA for your first visit! Was a gorgeous landing too for your first time landing at the City of Angeles. Ya got a 'Nice' from left seat too. How fast do you normally exit on a high speed? What would be your max speed - 60/70kts?? Goal to eat an In'Out cheeseburger under finals.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

It was a great trip for sure! I don't like taking those high speed taxiways very fast, maybe 40 or 50 knots I would say. I would rather take the plane down to the next exit rather than have an issue being too fast on the taxiway.

[@michaelmabrey6969]

Nice creases.

[@jerrykorman7770]

Michael mabrey my dry cleaner does great creases

[@jimm73]

Sounds like me when I go to any part of Cali......... IN-N-OUT (Double Double ANIMAL) Great Vid guys!!!!

[@NatesRandomVideo]

Beautiful night shots. Very hard to capture how that looks from the cockpit on most cameras. Cheers guys, nice flight. Be good.

[@Newzchspy]

I see you guys just did Princess Juliana on St. Maarten One of my fav all time places to see the birds land and right above our heads!!!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Indeed...video to come shortly!

[@mickeycintron6543]

I am hooked watching you guys

[@comalopardulos]

I like your videos, thanks for answering my non-pilot questions

[@randyporter3491]

You burned more fuel after you landed, than the flight there lol!. What a taxi trek ! Love that night view.

[@northflwanderers]

Jon got those socks in at 26:09.

[@gankdgamer2141]

12:20 what an incredible shot of the city.

[@JamesWhiteszln6z]

I can't believe I watched that whole video... great vlog, really enjoy!

[@nemo227]

That was fun. Sometime in the future I hope you'll get to visit the Monterey peninsula (nice airport and very good food at the Golden Tee airport restaurant).

[@nicktheav8r269]

Nice work getting the South Complex at LAX. If you get the north and have to taxi to Atlantic I have had it take me 30min at least, it sucks.

[@ddavidone6538]

Man, Sean can really grease thoes landings! Great vids!

[@waukeshapilot6462]

You Guys make it look so easy.......I mean riding those scooters so close to the sand!!!!!!

[@JoneszsRides]

Another great one keep it up guys

[@tjake490]

I really enjoy watching your video's. Thanks for posting them!

[@jjaus]

Nice vid! Looked like you guys were hustling for that approach.

[@Skee_Please]

So cool, I live right by the airport in Westechester, been waiting to see you guys come in here.

[@anthonygallegos3891]

Que vitha, enjoyed the double hop and great first time landing at LAX.

[@williegillie5712]

Looked like a busy flight. You guys both seem to start breathing a little faster on landing. Can tell your at full attention that last minute into your flare. Nice landing.

[@apterex]

Nice first landing LAX Shaun!!

[@ronarnott1801]

Great video! I followed you along on the Arrival and the 25L plate, kind of good review and practice.

[@KutWrite]

+Ron: Did you count that as sim time? :D

[@ronarnott1801]

I might have another 50 hours doing that. Thanks, great idea

[@Bigsky1991]

This was a good one for the Instrument and arrivals info...it shows just how hectic it gets in busy airspace....high speeds, sequencing points on your arrival...You may have 6-7 points in the box, but when you least expect it, ATC makes you cut the corner... lots of knob spinning... can't be snoozing or sipping Cappuccino! At the end...STAY OFF those stupid electric scooters! Have a buddy of mine who was on 320s at Spirit...fell off, banged his noggin' permanently grounded ...Sim instructor now!

[@lorenraines8621]

Hey Shawn something I would enjoy seeing is a close up of the gauges and switchology during startup. Might involve more than one camera as fast as you and John move, just an idea. If you have already done that or if its a goofy idea let me know. Always look forward to your next vid.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I may be able to work that in...Thanks for the suggestion!

[@burt24pop]

love the long ones...great video boys

[@ajonesieee3691]

Great video! Looking forward to Part Two! And this was Vlog 69.. that's y'all's lucky number!!

[@sumrica]

Mighty fine video. Had fun. Wish I could try one of those In and Out Burgers. The nearest one to me is Dallas.

[@PedroTestas]

29:02 I'm gonna secure the cows... That's just hilarious!!!

[@jerrykorman7770]

Pedro Testas cowls? Probably turning off the engine cowl heat

[@scotty11782]

Beautiful Landings
