Gulfstream Avionics Failure Into Las Vegas! - Pilot VLOG 42

We went back to Las Vegas for a few days, and had an avionics failure on the descent. We had a chance to go hiking in the desert, but only after watching the fighter jet drills at Nellis Air Force Base, including F-16s and F-35s.

So in 10 months you have gone from 1000 subscribers to 47K. Nice work. I am impressed. I am an old guy (68 yrs old) who used to fly jets in the Marine Corps. Love the channel!

[@CaptainDagenhart]

Man I sure hope I can nail down a job like that when I retire from the Marines in two years. Love the Gulfstream!

[@andrecastano6856]

I'm just a private pilot, but your videos have vastly improved my radio communication skills. Love watching the pros at work. Thanks for all the videos!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That's great...glad we could help in some way!

[@perryjohnson8213]

Great video footage fellow Business Jet Pilots. Was thinking about doing the same in the airplanes that I fly. Glad to see that I am not the only nerdy pilot that wants to video what our life is all about. Nice work guys!

[@Captnoatp]

A pleasure to ride along with you guys, and with some minor technical “issues” just make it even more interesting for us on the ground. The quality of your videos are getting very impressive. Looking forward for your next flight we can ride along with. Take care guys, from across the pond.

[@sgtdarkness1]

The military presence would be an annual exercise called “Red Flag”. I retired in 1994 and participated in Red Flag several times. Drove the F-5 Freedom Fighter and we were also responsible for training our NATO pilots. Good luck guys.....really wonderful what you are doing......

[@guyshilon2807]

Hi there. I had always been an airline pilot and never experienced the corporate pilot life. Your videos tell the story and shows more then expected. Keep up the good work And on a professional note. Looks like you both have excellent CRM skills and you work very well with each other.

[@clem29120]

Nice vids ! I'm looking forward to the next "technical video" ;) Always a pleasure to see you guys working !

[@binklowther965]

Love being in the jump seat with you two. Lets me relive my Corp days flying with Al Volmer and Terry Grange out of Hooker Ohio . Thanks !!!

[@shimmySchermerhorn-dk1gi]

Fabulous Channel. Great view into Las Vegas. Have watched all your videos so far. Nothing like a Gulfstream ! Power at your command. Come visit Vegas again. I've enjoyed living here last 9 years. So long.

[@timmahoney9828]

Subscribed a couple of weeks ago. Love the quality of your vids. That GIV looks like a dream to fly. Keep it up!

[@timyattaw162]

Nice video's. Love the take offs !! And landings. Lots of fun to watch. Will be watching for more. Thanks guys and gal.

[@dlsmith1961]

Stumbled across your videos and have been binge watching ever since. Love them.

[@richschindler8731]

Just found your videos. Retired corporate pilot here. Enjoyed it.

[@jeffr532]

Thanks for taking the time to film and edit this video. I'm not a pilot, but do enjoy flying. I do appreciate the explanations given about the various tasks you perform to make the plane perform the way you want it to. I've got some catching up to do, but please keep the videos coming. I'm your newest subscriber.

[@jhale4929]

fantastic videos. love watching the pilots life. you guys remind me of Penn and Teller...one never speaks.

[@joeycarr1398]

9:26 Those are the F-16C of the 64th Agressor Squadron at Nellis with the new painted "shark" scheme. Looks like turning base. Good vid guys, thanks!

[@ykaplun6947]

Really appreciate the tech insight. Especially or more interestingly when it involved a display failure. Since you explained how to dealt with it. Thanks and keep those tech-focused segments coming.

[@sherriurquiola8624]

Excellent videos. Thanks guys.

[@jameswikstrom4174]

This is my first time watching your channel but my experience was entirely positive. The Gulfstream is the Cadillac of Corporate Aviation. Great airplane with all the bells and whistles imaginable. It's hard to distinguish it from a Commercial Airliner! You guys do a great job flying and look forward to future videos!

[@robertjones6853]

I appreciate all your videos are so informative. It is fun too see and visit new places with "Corporate pilot Life."!

[@mauriceawilliams5698]

Well!!! if it's not the "A Team" Welcome back . Haven't seen you guys since your last notification of your future intent. As always, you two are a match for all time. I enjoy every minute of the operation. great show!

[@mrresources7176]

Wonderful videos. Please keep them coming.

[@mariansmartt]

I absolutely love, love, love your channel! Tail winds and happy landings!

[@jerrygilvey9159]

Some of the best vids I've seen..Great how the 3 of you work together....

[@smaze1782]

Great video. Thx for sharing. The rounded edges on the lower left video window is a nice touch.

[@douglas724]

Pretty amazing life guys...hope you truly appreciate what you have...thanks for sharing!

[@rhakes63]

Having a great time watching you guys!

[@raymikez]

awesome job and videos guys thank you retired army pilot here and am looking forward to more of your videos

[@BlueLineSpeed]

Enjoyed your video. I never got to fly the GIV-SP only the G450. Cockpit brings back fond memories of the straight G5, but the GIV is by far the best to fly, lovely machine all around. Fly safe and thanks for posting!

[@Ozgrade3]

Wow, unbelievable video work, of all the thousands of videos on KZbin, you guys set the standard. The picture is so clear it looks like I'm looking out the window myself. You must have great cameras. The USA is such a beautiful country.

[@vegasjill21]

Wow!!! That was a lot of fun!! Glad I hopped on board! .I would never have that much fun in one day in real life!! lol Thanks for taking us along. ;)

[@jerrykorman7770]

Finally had a chance to watch this one. The King Air 200 I flew didn't have a true glass cockpit, but I recall the "steam gauges" would sometimes stick. Got to be a habit to just tap the gauge face to unstick the needle. The altimeter had a vibrator to keep the needle free. Valley of Fire is awesome. I have friends in Mesquite, another great ride is taking an ATV over the Scanlon Ferry Road. You go from Gold Butte all the way to Lake Mead. A very fun ride in a Polaris Rzr. Can't go wrong with Moab either. Keep up the good work, I realize you have a busy career and family life, so the fact you're taking the time to crank out such professional videos is amazing.

[@eptyr12]

Just found this channel, super professional, love it!

[@matthewadams1089]

You guys do a wonderful job with audio and visual, I'm Riddle alum class of 92 great program. Currently working on instrument rating after 30 yrs. as an A&P. Your program has helped with IFR communications procedures etc. really enjoy watching and learning. Love the Gulfstream products, hope to see you folks on the road one of these days. Please keep up the good work!

[@mikedunn9088]

Entertaining and informative. Great teamwork as required.

[@debbiemiller9315]

I’m just discovering your channel. My close friend is a pilot for a G200 based at Long Beach, California ….flying to Akron , palm Beach Florida and crisscrossing the country all week. I’m enjoying watching the process and steps of the process. Best to you. Keep posting.

[@Fimpiekijke]

Life is good in the Gulf, good quality video, enjoyed it.

[@alanstuart4646]

Great video! Thank you for posting that. It's very interesting and informative, thank you again!

[@mybubu2000]

Great! Safe flight guys

[@kdubay1144]

You guys are doing a great! job with the videos, watch them more then TV. Keep them coming.

[@jeffreystaley5266]

You guys are very professional and doing a great job making flying interesting. I have to admit I am kind of getting used to what it must feel like to have the freedom of zipping around with a Gulfstream! Now, if only I could find a way to get my occasional commercial flights to last just.10 to 20 minutes like your videos. Look forward to more episodes.

[@RyanBomar]

Very cool video! I love the Nellis stuff too, I got to fly on-board a KC-135 out of there, life dream.

[@shaneford6673]

congrat on making 1000 that's only a start to what you will get

[@Lordlayton100]

I'm also a big Steveo1, Premier1 follower and got hooked up to you guys. Love the videos! You guys live the good life!

[@jrmusic7316]

You guys are amazing. I used to be a flight instructor on chicken hawks, but had to stop flying. Love love your vids, would have loved to have a job like this. Keep up the great work.

[@mr.davidbooth1320]

Love watching these videos on my lundch break Big Thanks

[@stevenphamm]

Great video-as always...

[@danward8720]

Love your videos. Especially that you don't make music videos with the cameras pointing directly out the windscreen for the whole video. ATC, explanations of what you are doing, showing button pushes, PFD and MFD.. What's not to like?!

[@arose001]

Awesome stuff here guys! I am a Flight Sim enthusiast along with our entire team. “ Tiger Team Southern Command “ We all wish you safe and incredible journeys.

[@rickm7923]

Another great video

[@davidcachia1854]

Love your videos...greetings from Malta {Europe}

[@burt24pop]

I go to NASCAR every year in Vegas and they do the same thing for the weekend. I think it's called Red Flag but I could be wrong. At night is the best because you can see the afterburners glow. Being woken up by jets rumbling my motorhome isn't a bad alarm clock either. hahah Good to see the channel growing. keep the vids coming! time lapse i think are good ways to add easy content and always look cool. especially in the air. thanks man

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Glad you liked it! Red Flag is exactly correct...they typically have nearly the entire Air Force fleet for Red Flag. This one was much smaller, but still really cool to watch.

[@sturvinmurvin9408]

Glad I found this channel. I like both of your styles. Working hard to be there one day!

[@WayneRigley]

im a big Stevo1 follower, but glad i found your channel and Killer Callsign ! BLAHAAHHAHAH love it, I subscribed just for that ! i kinda giggle every callback ! safe flying boys !

[@aimes2]

Glad I found your channel. Learning a lot. Shout out from Gander!

[@MegaBuckBuck1]

Outfreakin standing! New subscriber. Excellent vid, high quality. Thanks for posting!

[@LuciferMorningstarDanny]

Great videos fellas , even the of aircraft stuff , keep em coming , Australia.

[@sgt.pepper4274]

thx, guys. Really appreciate the videos. They are all inspiring.:)

[@3downtroy]

Look at that chop on the ascent! Reminds me of the last time I flew out of Vegas.

[@MrAviv1]

Namaste from India! Lots of knowledge shared by you! Fantastic! Subscribed!!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Welcome!

[@alexpanchana6868]

Very good guys, I love your videos

[@keithboone4800]

As a Gulfstream employee I thank you for your visit.

[@GaryMCurran]

Haven't flown as PIC in about 40 years, but I enjoy watching so many different and fascinating aviation vlogs, so I don't mind subscribing to yours as well. Depending on WHEN you were in Vegas, it's very probable that you saw Red Flag 18.1 at Nellis, which is the annual Air Force combat training evolution. It started on 1.23.18

[@ericrosales6293]

I liked that center inset outside view of the landing. When you do switch to the wing view, I think it'd still be more interesting to have the inset shot of the controls remain....but maybe you've already tried it. I would specifically try to keep the inset on the same position in the screen tho. So for example, if you have a landing with the initial view of main at the controls, inset of outside view positioned top left corner....when you switch to wing view, keep that control inset on the top left of the screen so our eyes won't need to shift so much. Thanks again for sharing!

[@mickannieobrien2803]

love your videos guys cheers from Down under

[@bradrule9225]

Awesome work guys

[@SamuelOlives]

Nice as usual thanks.

[@yoyoututububee]

Really enjoy your videos thank you guys!

[@anthonyrojas2216]

awesome video!

[@MikeEngel]

Just subscribed. Love the videos. Keep up the good work.

[@Etxeba]

In every video it gets better! best wishes from London, hope you have the chance to visit us again soon guys!

[@UncleEarl97]

Love your videos, I think I subscribed after a couple minutes of the first video I saw. I'll probably never fly in a Gulfstream, sure looks interesting though! I'm a contractor working for a well known company that leases a couple Gulfstream jets for corporate use. Too bad I didn't have the money and interest in flying long ago, too old now, but I sure enjoy watching professionals showing us desk and computer jockies how to fly a plane and teaching us some technical aspects along the way. Thanks CPL!

[@GaryMCurran]

Earl, unless you have one foot in the grave, you're never too old to learn to fly. Okay, you may not be an airline pilot, or a corporate pilot, but you can still fly for yourself. Nothing like a $150 hamburger in a Cessna 172 for you and the wife and a couple of kids. Don't sell yourself short, if you have the money, you can make the time to do it, and you won't regret it.

[@lvsluggo007]

The "military activity" is called RedFlag.. Large NATO participation air combat. I used to work on the base at Nellis and you'd see guys in flightsuits from most all NATO countries.. Since I live in Las Vegas, its fun to go watch the variety of jet fighters here during RedFlag...

[@z.bellingham2556]

Keep it up awesome video great procedures.

[@CCNeutson]

Hey guys - just came across the channel and it's quite a shift from single engine VFR flight that I do. I could only dream of the day that I'd be flying a GS4. Thou that may never happen do to other issues, I truly enjoy the flights your making. I'm in the process of getting a Goovis G2 to watch your flights on an IMax screen. I guess it's the best way to view it without actually being there. Thanks again and I look forward to many more flights.

[@steveash9636]

Great videos. Very informative. Just a suggestion would like to see a video of you guys handling various common failures in a simulator. eg sudden depressurisation, engine failure on take off and so on.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I would love to show that, but the simulator companies are very strict about not allowing video or audio cameras in the facilities

[@forrestberger8909]

Enjoy you videos. Very informative. Thanks

[@jonesfamilyjones2871]

Why are these vids so addictive . I’m sat in England and have become a fan. Presidential 69 out lol .

[@TraneFrancks]

You guys are awesome.

[@gregmoulin8499]

Great videos guys. New subscriber. You given way the Bose phones yet? Looking forward to many hours of viewing your flying adventures. Thanks for sharing your passion for flying and putting together some great work. Stay safe!

[@kthgodw1]

[@yurandicianni1055]

Just came across your video!! Awesome stuff!

[@killjoy270]

born and raised in las vegas and lived under this approach till i turned 18 (22 now ) never seen it from this position !

[@nvdwarriorLtc]

I got excited when ATC called a helicopter at altitude.....they would be having nose bleeds at that altitude...great video once again! Do you two ever fight? Ha ha.....great crew cockpit coordination!

[@professorjedi1024]

Don't know if too late for contest but I really love the video.. great views of Vegas!

[@clearingbaffles]

You should look for the Navy A-12 it was going to be the stealth replacement for the A-6 & got a little expensive BUT had a very interesting feature mostly invisible to radar but invisible to the Mk-1 👁ball SO it is a little difficult to discern Thanx from the left coast near the Krapitol of California

[@bernardanderson1484]

Hey fellas it's great to Fly a Gulfstream but affortunely your Captain needs a window shade instead of maps to keep the sun out . Keep up the great job presidential 69

[@tomcotton6308]

Been watching for maybe a month or so . Like your videos . Those headphones would look nice on my old bald head . Fly safe .

[@GSNCLN]

Love the GIV

[@carstenclausen4414]
