[@leongiese2349]

Love the fact you checked your harness afterwards!!! Don't blame you buddy. That was funny.

[@f.n.schlub2269]

When next in the Carmel Highlands eat at the Highlands Inn's Lochinvar Room. Five Stars. Rather than dangle your feet in a random stream, take a few hours soak at the Tassajara Hotsprings or, on the coast, at the Essalen Institute hotsprings. At Essalen, you can hot soak, climb out and run down to the ocean for the cold plunge. Oh ... the seals are rocking it because this is Great White and Orca season in these waters. I'm sure you guys gave ;-D))) a great flight.

[@TakeDeadAim]

As a young student I was in a 177RG. It was my first time in a retractable and was doing a night flight out of Cheyenne. It was MVFR so I was already a little tense as it was also hot and the DA was rather high. Anyhoo...I had just pulled the gear and as they were transiting...BANG!!!! The window latch had DE latched and I almost soiled my drawers. My instructor was laughing as he had PLANNED it to see how I'd react. He then asked me for the current alt/speed/heading etc...to see if I had my wits. Apparently I passed the "test" and we had a good laugh about it the rest of the flight down to Castle Rock!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Nice! Those are always fun to look back on, but less fun at the moment...

[@ian408]

Next time you make it down the Big Sur way; go a bit farther S to Lucia and have lunch there-in the summer, the deck is a great place to sit and watch the world go by. And in December, the sun shines through the Window on Pfeiffer Beach-pretty spectacular.

[@icestorm40]

You three make a really good team. It's nice to see three people work so well together with no drama!

[@randyporter3491]

FINALLY ! I saw it and heard it myself ! Unless Shawn did overdub sound and altered this video, then I KNOW saw John laugh and smile ! I KNEW he was a cool guy, with a good sense of humor. He just doesn’t want anyone to know. But Shawn caught him this time. Priceless video. I’ll share this and archive a copy as proof to future generations ! LOL! I love this, because like John, I’m called “Oscar The Grouch”, since I don’t appear to smile too often. So John is my mentor. Seriously guys, thanks for another great ride. Safe skies.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That's awesome! Thank you!

[@jordillach3222]

1:35 to 1:58 Wow! That could perfectly be the coast somewhere in central Chile in spring! Amazing. 3:42 And that again! (except for the squirrels that don't exist in the southern hemisphere). I know exactly what you mean by that wildlife scent . There are many rocks along the Chilean coastline with colonies of sea lions.

[@nilslindenblad2282]

Nice video. Like the ILS approach in to Santa Ana. Wow on the parked aircraft. There were quite a few. Went back and watched the shade screen incident a couple of times. I think most people in that situation would have dropped a brick too....See ya next time.

[@ksfixitmangaming617]

Very impressive. you guys work so well together. I'm up all hours of the night and you guys keep me company. Iv said this before but the editing is great. Your way of picking when to do split screen or picking different views to do is great. I hope you keep this channel for a long time. I enjoy all of it. You guys would make great instructors. Thanks for all you do. Be safe.

[@KutWrite]

I guess we'll never know "great..." what?

[@isitwitha]

Agreed, Keemosabe!

Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can give me.

[@rylandandrew4856]

@Santiago Cassius instablaster ;)

[@tomm7301]

Thanks for another great video. I’m sure the longer videos create more editing work for you, Shaun, but your fans hope you keep ‘em coming!

[@campchairchris]

Love Jon's wardrobe choice for site seeing! Super causal athletic shorts and slides!

[@cutzwithrazzor]

Add window shade to the check list. Pulled and Latched, Check!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

No kidding!

[@brianmcgee115]

you missed a golden opportunity to pick up a new sponsor! After I soiled myself, I reley on Charmin tripple ply to make things right again. Charmin, strong enough and soft enough for the Corporate Pilots life! :) thanks for sharing!!!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

HAHAHA!! That would have been a great sponsor!

[@randyporter3491]

The “Shade Incident” as it will come to be known, will go down as THE funniest thing I’ve seen ! There’s an old song “Blowing In The Wind” and should be the theme song for this segment. Awesome guys, LMAO !

[@donclark8484]

Thank you for sharing a little bit of your life seeing what you do when you have a little time . It’s nice to see different places that I will probably never get to see thank you for sharing.

[@7676357]

Two amazing professionals! It's like watching Steph Curry and Kevin Durrant "Doing Work". Thank you John and Shaun. You're inspiring.

[@colinpotter7764]

About 45 years ago I was given the job of making the coffee on an RAF HS125 and I opened the can of powered milk with the end of a spoon. The milk erupted like a volcano and milk powder went everywhere. I though that we had decompressed and was the only person on board who wasn't laughing.

[@rfriesen1644]

That was great. The window shade was so funny. Could only have been topped if John had gone for a loop when walking in the river.

[@alexrembert1155]

My favorite west coast airports. Sorry I didn’t know you guys were at SNA. Atlantic always the best - enjoy seeing what’s going in and out.

[@space1commander]

Like always great videos Guys and thanks for showing a peak of Santa Catalina Island. That was my #1 place for the $100 dollars Burger, Yes the buffalo Burger. Now I live in North Carolina and that is the only thing I miss from Los Angeles. But, I do not miss the Traffic and the pollution.

[@mattcollins4550]

Every once in a while in a 172 the window will pop open in during cruise... same reaction for me.

[@brewball728]

Should have added a slow mo version of that window shade issue.. That was great! The flapping antlers just made it even better.

[@rickfink1942]

"That scared the %&#! out of me!" Just made my day! Shaun, I apologize for finding such glee at your terror, but your reaction was tremendously funny. A real highpoint in your channel. Thanks for sharing such a real moment in your lives.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thanks! No need to apologize. It took me forever to edit that part of the video because I kept laughing so much myself. Glad everyone else seemed to like it as well.

[@rickfink1942]

Next time you fly into my hometown (Bozeman, MT - VLOG 38) and you have some down time, look me up. Take you guys fishing or shooting, or both.

[@rickfink1942]

Quick question: when you put your hands on your forehead, did you have the adrenaline headache that always follows a near death experience.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

yep!

[@obp6891]

When John is PF he takes the controls at 80 ''my yoke'' ,not from the beginning of the TO run as Sahun does when he is PF I'm wondering if this is SOP the Captain steering with rudders and one hand on the tiller?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Yep. No matter who is flying, Jon always has his left hand on the tiller for the first part of the takeoff roll, so when he is flying I hold the yoke until he is ready to move his left hand from the tiller to the yoke at 80 knots. When I am flying, I can hold the yoke right from the start since my right hand has nowhere to be. I hope that all makes sense.

[@obp6891]

Sure thanks Is the tiller needed bellow 80 in case of loosing one engine? Also wondering how is control transfer at 80 in a X wind TO when Jon is PF

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Honestly, the tiller really shouldn't be used at all on a normal takeoff situation. Directional control can be totally maintained using the rudder pedals, even in a heavy crosswind or an engine failure situation. The main reason the tiller stays guarded is in case the nosewheel makes a "hard over". Then he would need to grab the tiller and counter it.

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

Shaun...…...We can see that you were still a little gun-shy in latching the sun shade later on in the video. Simple mishaps in flight (big or little) does rattle the nerves. That's the sign of a good pilot. Always stoked and prepared.

[@atlanticiacomjr9951]

I genuinely thought the window had gone for a split second, quite the scare, but always good to be reminded of the risks of flying every once in a while.

[@jaytc3218]

The squirrel talking reminded me of that viral vid a few years back with the gopher saying, "Alan! Alan! Alan!"

[@esalenchik]

JAYTC I think it was “Steve, Steve, Steve” 🤣🤣🤣 “Night-time - day time”. Thank you BBC. I’ve seen it at least 30 times and it still gives me the giggles.

[@esalenchik]

And those trails and inn at the beginning are very familiar to me. Glad you enjoyed some of our local haunts.

[@garyvale8347]

Shaun, now you know...if that window blows out.....Jon's reaching for the throttles not your ankles..... you're on your own , flapping in the wind buddy....LOL........

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Right!! Laughing all the way!!

[@garyvale8347]

glad to know you have a sense of humor....just discovered your channel, keep the entertaining videos coming ......

[@examiner0078]

Thanks for the reply. Safe flying guys! Enjoy your weekend 😎 Chip

[@Ray-os7dx]

Another great video!! Shaun, the window shade ordeal scared the crap out of me too. I thought something hit the window. I had a laugh at Jon and his reaction. Keep those great video's coming..!!!

[@wendelldolittle5063]

Nice smooth calm reaction Jon while Grabbing the throttles and thinking wtfwt 🤔

[@RumblestripDotNet]

John Wayne to San Diego 20 minute flight, 2 hour drive. San Diego one of the coolest approaches.

[@Newzchspy]

Go to 18:40 for the moment!!!! This had to be pre-Bora Bora. Francine was with you! @19:45 "SEE SEE, you lazy hook it". Jon can't just let it go!! What made the GIV at 35:20 so nice??

[@promizeband]

Thank you for letting me live vicariously. Love watching you guys live my dream job

[@justwinbaby628]

Been waiting for SNA. Got my PPL there. Such a fun airport with the mix of the airliners, beautiful corporate jets, and trainers. Can’t wait to see San Diego. My favorite video yet!

[@avjayk]

Thanks for the video upload. Happy KSAN didn't get squeezed in at the end of the video. Looking forward to the arrival into KSAN. Hoping to see the departure, too.

[@michaelstern1945]

The River inn is a good tip need to take a ride on the coast highway and make a stop.

[@Kelly-jc3jc]

I work at a private FBO in SJC, you see it while taxing out. Too bad I missed you. Monterey / Carmel area is great, hope you guys enjoyed it.

[@foxiedoggy3292]

My son little plane he has, the door flew off! but he was only 2000 feet up, not 32,000. Glad you stayed in your seat!

[@bcjams3786]

I love the Monterey area ..lived in Santa Cruz for a few years and truly loved hanging out on the coast..never get tired of the waves the rocks the sea life or the big sur trees the golf or the food..

[@erikbjrnyolsen9694]

That was hilarious. I lost a window in a Duchess once, while flying with a student over the Everglades. Luckily it wasn't too high and too far away from our home base. Apparently there had been a small crack in the glass hidden behind the doorframe, and once reaching 6000 ft it decided it was time to shatter and fly off on its own. I heard a loud bang and looked over at my student who was staring out the open frame of the left window. Thankfully it was in the summer and the extra air was welcomed lol. In the 152s I was flying during my private pilot training the doors would open in flight all the time :( Tought my CFI to always wear his shoulder harness and not lean against the door hehe.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Well I'm glad to hear everyone was ok! That must be quite the shock though...

[@lostkcfan4280]

Enjoyed the different Intro before the shade release.. ha.. At the end you sure took your time setting the sade after departure.. ha.. Great Stuff..

[@stevefrazier2207]

That took a few years off your life for sure. I could not stop laughing. Bad news is we didn't know you all were in town. OC is my stomping ground for sure. Would love to have a chance to show you our great micro brew stops with great food. Need to figure out a way to know sooner when your in town if you guys are down for it so we can treat you all for some food and drinks. Not to mention the sweet night life. Monterey has some of the best rock fishing love it up that way. Thanks for the great laugh and video .

[@anamadisonsparkles6725]

You and john are really funny together. You're two are the most fun to watch

[@gregbennett9588]

as any pilot should be - no interest in location but great interest in getting there. Very cool pilot. digs the operations... Pair him with a travel agent - good show

[@GrantGrove]

Finally cleaned off the windscreen bug guts. Funny at the shade auto retract.

[@Luckycat8]

Great video....keep making them and please show your layover vlog..thanks

[@propnose]

We parked next to that G-550 with the palm tree painted on the tail(N528AP) in BOS the other day.

[@TCN600]

That tail is based in Provo where I'm at so we get to see it all the time :D

[@MrSunlander]

Good you keep the seats cozy for the clients....

[@matt82654]

Shaun, I was watching the first of this vid, and with your sunglasses on you remind me of Agent Smith, I almost waited for you to say with a long drawl, "Mr. Anderson." Thanks for these videos, so many of us are living vicariously through these! they never get old!!!

[@griffith211]

On the SJC departure, you guys briefed the 230 knot restriction on the SID, but I didn’t hear anyone ever mention the 200 knot restriction on the turn to downwind

[@CC-kk3zz]

Nice to Sean actually gets rattled in the cockpit. I lived adjacent to SNA in Irvine for 10 years, love SNA take off and landing , very challenging for crew, always wondered if it required special training.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

No special training...just special attention

[@ozziepilot2899]

Great to see the flying of course, but thanks for sharing the sights of the places you visit , just fantastic :) funny seeing Shaun's reaction to the sun shield, glad it was not on final with him in flying it , that would've been quite interesting.

[@MsNipri]

Shaun, I jumped, as well. Then I did a rewind not once, not twice, but four times laughing my behind OFF about what happened!!! It was hilarious! But at first, it scared me too. So glad cameras were rolling to capture that!!! Love you guys! Keep the videos coming!!!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Glad everyone is enjoying my near heart attack...but in all honesty, I watched it many times myself laughing every time.

[@garyzdeb6615]

Gonna need to stock some Depends for them in-flight emergencies !

[@LAAvgRay]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@dgw671]

I can’t imagine what went through your head when that visor flipped back. Well, I can. Funny vid. Great job as always, gentlemen! Favorite channel!

[@outabeat]

Lots of smoke in the air from the So Cal fires.

[@guillaumetardieux1674]

Spontaneous reactions are the best ... love yours and afterwards Jon's ! It made my day ! Thanks for sharing !!!

[@hman2332]

Dude almost "self ejected". Don't blame him. LMAO

[@andydeighton5051]

Nothing fell window shade hadn't been latched properly ..... such a hoot !!

[@tomemery6739]

Yes there are fish...I fished for steelhead all along that beautiful water!

[@IrishDave]

John's laugh made me laugh even more.

[@richardvarner2802]

Once again, great flight, Guys. When that screen flipped back, it happened so fast, I missed it. I heard you say “That it scared the “heck” out of me”, and saw Jon laughing so hard, but I wasn’t sure what it was that happened. When I saw the “shadow”, my first thought was that a bird had flown by. I had to back up twice in order to catch it. You must have pulled the screen forward, while the video was on a forward view. When it went back to the overhead view, I kept my eye on your window. When that screen popped back, I can see why it scared you so much. That WAS really funny, though. I’m just happy it wasn’t a bird strike or fly-by. Other than that, you guys worked together so well. BTW, thanks for sharing your excursion sightseeing with us, as well. Look forward to seeing the flight home. As always, happy flying, and safe landing.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

At the moment, it did scare the crap out of me. I've probably watched that part of the video no less than a dozen times now, and I laugh just as hard every time...

[@donc9751]

It happened so fast that after seeing it twice at nomal speed, I slowed the video speed downto .5 then .25 then I could really see it happen slow enough to really appreciate it. The split second it happened his head jerked back almost as fast, lucky you didn't need a chiropractor later, but it was a small but obvious movement so quick like reacting to a gunshot going off next to your head, which it might as well have been! The sucked out the window flutter dance cracked me up.

[@thomaslemay8817]

The sun shade incident remained me of the time I was flying an experiment areobati aircraft half way through a loop the seat under my flight instructor failed with a loud bang, it had tandem seating so I couldn't see what had failed. A little concerning, I was very busy for a few seconds following the noise checking on the operation of the aircraft. Things like do I still have wings, rudder elevator and does it all work, the flight instructor had slipped into the baggage compartment when the seat failed causing his headset to be disconnected, now it is funny, at the time not so much. This happened several years before gopro and smartphones. So I don't have a recording. Wish I did.

[@ghl3488]

Watched the part with the window blind at least 6 times now, still laughing! Would have frightened the cra out of most people I guess. Thanks again for another great video. regards gareth

[@niceguy2171]

I jumped out of my chair when that went..so can sympathize fully ;) Jon got a good laugh out of it, but would have been doing the same if that was a window crack! But you guys had some busy days then, a lot of short trips, which sometimes seem more work than a longer flight schedule. Anxiously awaiting the point where you can take us through the updates done of the plane, but realize we have to wait until the backlog of footage gets us there. Hope the flights have been good when you get this.

[@KutWrite]

At least we got to hear Jon's laugh. I guess schadenfreude is his funny bone.

[@omarrivera2726]

hahahah

[@TheAlf61]

I can´t believe you guys fast forwarded all the approach over HWY 280 and Palo Alto, Los Gatos etc. !

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Yeah...we had a problem with the Gopro that was recording the audio, so the forward and window footage was all we got for that approach. I was really bummed about it. I'm thinking about going away from the Gopro and finding a different camera brand.

[@mmppa1213]

I can’t believe you got this squirrels to stay put! I love those seals ....any sea lions?

[@chuckeberth4370]

Great video. You're a great team. The window shade would have scared anyone!

[@scottbaker1018]

Wow we miss you 2 and three gang....Buy your own stream and start up ...Garuntee you two would get the biz.You two are bosses and take the chance. It would be a awesome start up service. Get some investors and and do it.....life’s good

[@x4457]

Thanks for coming by SNA guys! Next time you should try ACI Jet if you get any input into that, I fly a super-mid based there and I vastly prefer their service and prices to Atlantic. And you see the problem with their ramp as well :)

[@bigd-1-channel514]

Pacific Ocean water is COLD. Once went in down near unset beach in December. So cold all I could handle was about 4 minutes.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I don't even stick my toes in anymore...

[@bigd-1-channel514]

Nor do I , I left out the part that it was near sunset time, People on the beach were waving ate me, I was maybe70 yards out, So I came in, They told me the current would have taken me to Hawaii, if I was a little further out and stayed in much longer. They also said they had seen a shark fin near the beach. So, yes, I only go into nice clean swimming pools now.

[@earlbeilhart6055]

Sunshade set and locked , roger affirmed

[@mikeparker6322]

When i used land at SNA rwy 20R was 19R and it was only 5700 feet. It's not much margin for the 737'a coming in fully loaded in the summer time. Also, the noise abatement rules are in a word: CRAZY. SNA is in a very expensive neighborhood. Great video as always and brought back some great memories.

[@x4457]

Numbers have changed, the length hasn't. Still sporty!

[@KutWrite]

I remember when it was wall-to-wall GA parking there. You could see a lot of Bonanzas, Mooneys and Barons from the freeway going by there. Did a low approach there as part of my instrument check ride. They'd probably pooh-pooh that now.

[@CarlitosSaidSo]

Love that you guys share these moments. Yes, that was startling and I can see why it could cause “poopy pants”! 😄

[@bw5343]

I'm drooling over that G650 in the video.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

You and me both...

[@msnpassjan2004]

@31:11 Love all the picture in a picture edits on the approaches.

[@Mikey101160]

Love the wide angle outside view into John Wayne and the littler 'dash cam' view. Gives a way better and balanced perspective of proceedings. Stick with that guys.

[@jackseymour2767]

RCC Mike ;n

[@jeremyphillips2494]

Great video. I love Jon's flapping arms hanging out the window comment. It was pay back to Shaun for wanting Jon to fall in the water.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Karma...

[@niceguy2171]

I would have went in the water, that cold is good for your health..unless you DO fall that is!

[@sqvision]

That was the CSTN19 TEC route from SNA to SAN ? I fly those TEC routes quite often when simming online along the SoCal coast. Love it 😀

[@snubbedpeer]

I think it is clever how they built the checklists into the FMS!

[@brianhatcher1437]

I live 15 minutes from John Wayne Airport. Great landing....

[@defect2889]

very nice flight thanks

[@eaglegrip6879]

I hear there's a new company now, specializing in custom-fit, pucker-friendly pilot seats just for dare-devil Gulfstream aircraft pilots. lol

[@jameswikstrom4174]

I enjoy watching your videos but the comedy is an added bonus. For corporate pilots you guys are too funny. If I had your job I would never retire! Life would become too boring ! Loved Jon wading in the water at the restaurant. The camera incident with Shaun was too funny to believe. I wasn't even there but almost wet my pants! You guys & the lovely, "Francine" make your channel one of the best to watch for aviation and entertainment videos! loved when Jon said, it's my turn to drive the bus'! As Jon would say, ADIOS!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you James! We certainly enjoy what we do...

[@philipchandler330]

Excellent crew communication

[@petelawley1699]

Really enjoy your work guys would love to be in that flight deck , keep up the coverage . Pete lawley .from Shrewsbury England .

[@fatty1468]

Big Sur is the coolest spot in California!!!

[@davidcorbett8125]

Great teamwork and crew sync

[@CombatDoc54]

Super, badass plane, but I still think my favorite plane to fly is a Beechcraft King Air. Have either one of you ever flown one? I just love the sound when I throttle up on them.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Not me, but Jon has

[@jerrykorman7770]

Wm Cottrell I flew a 200 for almost 5 years, had to stop flying in 1997. I started in the right seat and after 3 years made it to the left seat. Our model had Raisbeck quiet turbofan props, strakes, ram air recovery, and the inboard leading edges. It was an amazing airplane after the Raisbeck EPIC upgrades

[@burt24pop]

40 min video... thank you!!!!

[@rs9544]

Are you guys going to add a a new video soon? It seems to have slowed down a bit on the posting. I am on the bench right now due to medical issues and have my.hearing to restate my medical next month. Your videos have kept me going during my down time. I miss my ride hopefully the fill in pilot my boss hired is taking good care of it but most likely not up to my standards. Can’t wait for the next Video stay safe Shawn and John.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Sorry to hear you're sitting out right now. I'm working on getting the next video out, but things have been pretty busy around here lately. Hopefully in the next few days I can get it done.

[@robertcopenhaver2887]

Another great video! I laughed so hard when the screen let go I had tears.

[@Tranner]

Bahahaha I love seeing Jon wear the same pair of basketball shorts everytime

[@TheAlf61]

Too bad you did not land in Monterrey !! Guys always thankful for these great vids but still waiting for the dashboard computer tutorial and other technical stuff.

[@aileron48]

Hours and hours of pure boredom interrupted my moments of stark terror! Welcome to spacious KSNA!

[@atsilkm3ahm457]

Wow beautiful seeing great camera work thx.

[@dominickatx478]

Love the camera angles on the last take off! More of that view please :-)

[@ashlabogan7084]

Some Channel, Net Flix etc etc should pick you up. Love all this.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Now that would be sweet!!

[@TraneFrancks]

When I saw the title of the vid, my first thought was Jon saying, "Alright, man. I'm gonna fly for a while." 😂😳
