Gulfstream G-IV Las Vegas for New Year! - Pilot VLOG 37

[@cgrilley]

Wow..flying over the Trinity site is nuclear cool!

[@terrencegarrett5273]

HOLY DOM PERIGNON! Perfect Set Up, Shaun - the instant that champagne bottle popped up on the screen, ya just KNEW what was coming next - and ya didn't disappoint.... Jon going full-tilt Hunter S. Thompson, draped over the Camry with a .50 cal. You guys and your firearms - Remind me to always call you Sir. And you just know some moron went "wwww why would they do that?!?!", leading to the inevitable: BECAUSE THEY CAN !!! Truly Awesome.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

You got it there! Thank you!

[@northflwanderers]

Just found you guys. As someone very uneasy about flying, your professional attitude in the front seats and your sense of humor make me feel much more at ease about leaving the ground. Great videos, thanks for sharing.

[@jameswikstrom4174]

Who in their right mind would want to be a Commercial Airline Pilot after seeing how good you guys live. Sorry, I meant Francine also! Thoroughly enjoy all your videos. I would rate your level of entertainment very high! You get the best of both worlds on your channel. Watch you guys fly the G-IV and visit interesting places. That's as good as it gets for everyone. Tell Francine, things do happen in Vegas but they go no further! They did happen unfortunately for some people who would rather forget! You guys are the best!

[@valkyrie6605]

Hi guys, I’m a retired military pilot and I really enjoyed every video you posted, thank you so much, now a constructive criticism, every pilot I’ve known fly with a wing above their heart and I don’t see one on neither of you, bother the heck out of me, lol, sorry just an old eagle habit, I promise it will make you look more handsome that you guys already are. Keep leaving the Corporate Pilot Life...Blue Skies buds...

[@CorporatePilotLife]

You know, I've noticed that as well. Wearing wings is very uncommon in corporate aviation. Maybe we should look into that...

[@jnoppenheim777]

Awesome videos!!

[@markchamberlain6607]

Looks like you guys have the best jobs in the world. Great video.

[@russellhartley3813]

Great landing on runway 35. Brings back a lot of memories for me. Thank you for sharing.

[@stevecastro22]

Just a note to say thanks for your time and efforts from one of your fans. Any chance that we could learn a little more about your flying backgrounds, how you got started in aviation, and possibly meeting your family's. You two compliment one another on the flight deck, a fine oiled machine.....

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Hey Steve! Thank you very much. I did a short video on how I got into aviation and my history of flying (link below), but I'm still working on Jon to tell his full story. We'll get it out of him eventually. I hope you continue to enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5DQg6d4l8iUa7M

[@bobbytubbs8936]

really enjoy all your videos and being from NM i really like the view of White Sands from above. As a teenager my friends and I loved going sand surfing at WS.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That was my first time getting to fly right over it. Usually they make us fly around it due to military airspace. It's pretty cool to see, no doubt.

[@mabrams8740]

Love what you do with champagne. I don't like it either.

[@imota1]

Guys, excellent as always -- Subscribed when you were at 1.5K subscribers, meteoric ascent (just like the G450!) to 15K as of this comment... Really happy to see the recognition on KZbin, you guys deserve it! Keep up the great work! Love to follow along :)

[@bigd-1-channel514]

I been out into White sand in Mid July, probably 118 degree, I did not sweat at all. Also been to Trinity, it actually is North and West of White sands, They do 2 tours a year to the monument. Great to fly with you guys.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That's awesome! I would love to go see the monument

[@davidfschell9617]

I am a non flyer . However, love watching your videos. Very interesting. You guys make it look so easy... You guys not only show the flights, but the destinations are also amazing ! I was wondering if the team has ever been approached by a TV producer ? You lives would make for great series . Living " vicariously " The Corporate Pilot Life Thanks Guys !!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Not yet...but that would be pretty cool!

[@davidfschell9617]

Then you can let someone else worry about the cameras . LOL Thanks again guys.

[@davidfschell9617]

Hay guys, So I just asked my wife, what would we do if we won the mega millions tonight ? She replied , rather quickly, buy the boyz a new Gulfstream , and hire them exclusively to fly us all over the world ! I may be emailing you tomorrow. LOL Have a good flight

[@rbnhood39]

You guys rock. Luv watching your vids. I live vicariously through your your eyes. I would love to get a chance to fly in a bad ass private jet before my time is up. I’ve got my fl lottery tickets in hand and fingers crossed. LOL

[@jamesoberg2820]

Next time you're in town check out "Sol Tapatio" off Maryland north of Tropicana for great Mexican cuisine. Thanks for the heads up on "Cafe Rio".

[@shammes53ify]

I love flying into Vegas, great scenery and sights on the way in!

[@garyolafson8303]

That's the absolute best thing to do with Champagne ! Bravo, guys. Encore again next New Years.

[@frank9240]

ok...... got it

[@airbornephoto]

Great video guys.

[@MustrdPudn]

Love me some Cafe Rio!

[@stevensmith5254]

The best yet what a inspiration to new pilots and older people with memorys of the wonder and pure joy of aviation. Thanks so much love these longer films i am from the great state of michigan go spartans.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy!

[@ericboyles7208]

At the 9:48 mark, maybe it should be called, “ cafe rrhea” lol 😂

[@Doyle-Nutbush]

Great flight and have a Happy New Year.

[@brianblotsky8667]

I'm so glad I found your channel. You guys are great. I'm totally assuming I missed headphones drawing. Keep up the great vids.

[@Stein32477]

Love y'alls chemistry! You seem to be good friends on and off the flight deck! Keep making awesome videos!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

It makes being away from home so much better.

[@davidmiller2179]

That was cool!!!

[@wkdravenna]

Thanks for the Suggestion I will have to check out that restaurant in march when I stop by Vegas. I hope that place is near McCarenAirport heh. Ugh that unamed company that has the yellow plane, barf ! You guys are great to watch thanks for the vlogs.

[@halleventhal1088]

Just found you guys. Great stuff !!

[@mrabrasive51]

Never knew about those high speed exits!..probably cuz I'm not a pilot!

[@rafaelmabosch]

Great, great flight Guys! Congrats!

[@couldabin]

You two make it look so easy. Have a great 2018.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Once you do it for so many years with the same person next to you, it does become quite easy. Have a great 2018 as well!

[@xXJ3rkNP0PXx]

I just found your channel , and omg!!! How could I have missed this ! Iove your content. You have a good group of subscribers, and you deserve more ! Such quality content. Do not stop making these videos

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That's amazing to hear! Thanks for checking us out...

[@aaronzayden3765]

pro tip: watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.

[@rodneypatrick2148]

@Aaron Zayden definitely, I've been using Flixzone for since december myself :)

[@bigbritx8824]

Watch some Premier1Driver videos if you want camera angle ideas. He does it well imho. Your video editing skills are getting better with every video. Another good one.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

P1D has been a huge inspiration for us. He's a really great guy as well! I'll go back and watch some of his videos again for some ideas...thanks!

[@ericpitar]

Great wing views in and out of vegas!

[@rutgerfitzgeraldroick8986]

a video telling both of your individual professional journeys to where you are now would be insightful for us aspiring pilots

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That is probably the most requested video...standby for that one!

[@UTarcher72]

Hey guys! I'm loving the videos. I'm curious if any well to do or celebrity pax ever tip you guys?? And if so, what was your biggest tip if you're willing to share. :)

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Tipping is fairly uncommon for us, but every now and again, we do receive a tip. It's usually a couple hundred dollars...I'm not really sure on the biggest one.

[@jamesoberg2820]

Great vids. Thanks guys. You ever come into Vegas when we're having nasty winds?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Oh yes, we just got back from Vegas this week. That video will be out soon

[@pew6126]

HimShaun, love your videos! Just wondering what type ratings you have besides Gulfstream & Hawker. Ever found it useful to get 737? Thought you might since you were at Flight Safety

[@robertgreene8951]

Another great video Happy 2018

[@LHG350]

Love the video as usual! Keep em coming!

[@kevinlehman1193]

Another great video as usual! How about a video with a flight deck tour? Have a great 2018!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We can definitely do that...

[@timothyosborn1697]

Finally watched this vid with that great approach to SLC. Loved seeing Mt. Nebo, Mt. Timpanogos and Utah Lake, all part of the Utah Valley, followed by the SLC Valley, where I basically grew up at (after all my growing up all over the US with my old man being in the Army then Air Force). Next time you get into the SLC area, during the winter months, let me know and it would be great to go skiing with you, if that would be ok. One question, at takeoff, when you say positive rate, for the landing gear up sequence, does that mean positive vertical rate? Also, at the LAS takeoff you followed the yellow Spirit Airlines aircraft taking off. That in a way reminded me of the old Hughes Air West Flying Bananas. Just saying... Again, loved the SLC approach! Tim

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We will likely do some skiing this year in Park City...love to meet up then! You are exactly correct on the positive rate being vertical rate. There has been more than one pilot to retract the landing gear before they left the ground, so this prevents that from happening.

[@michaelnewman2133]

Great video! Happy New Year!

[@sauravrampersad3315]

Great videos, wishing y’all a great 2018 filled with many more videos!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you so much! Have a great 2018 as well!

[@Lordlayton100]

Hiya guys! Question. I see both of you are wearing shirts with 'Something' Resorts' (belt hides some of it). You fly for a particular resort or did ya both just stay at one?

[@bobcarter4343]

You sure make it look easy with all of your great piloting skills. I learned on VOR's a long time ago and things could get complicated, particularly flying alone. Bravo ... the video is awesome. Happy New Year!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I appreciate the compliments! I also learned on VOR's back when GPS navigation was just coming into the small prop plane world...it sure is different now!

[@amilcarevora1930]

what you mean when you say 6 lights? like your videos!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That means both thrust reversers fully deployed.

[@garethleitner9547]

What caliber of lead slinger was Jon shooting? A nice perk living in the Las Vegas area is to be able to do this.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That was a .338 Lapua. We definitely enjoy that part of Las Vegas...

[@edfro6037]

Shawn, can you fly the left seat as captain ???

[@CorporatePilotLife]

yep

[@marcweinel1384]

Hey Shaun how long u Jon been captains now

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Jon's been a captain long before I met him. I've been flying as captain for about 5 years now

[@kurtismerget2007]

Hey guys, recent subscriber, love your videos. Can I ask what headsets you're using?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We use Telex 850

[@davidmuenzer577]

Q: Why is Sean always in the right seat?

[@gilbertleeds8112]

Would love to hear about your aviation backgrounds. Any military? How long have you been with your present company etc.? Does your company have plans to upgrade to a g-450 or 550?Really learn alot about flying watching your videos especially when you cross the Atlantic.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I've had a few requests for that...I think I'll do a video on just that topic soon.

[@jrwarner579]

Hey Sean why doesnt John hold the yoke forward when you land and you do for him?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

The tiller for ground steering is on the left side of the cockpit. He needs his left hand for that once we get slowed down. That's why I hold the yoke forward on his landings. Good question.

[@Fatlosstime]

Why when you flew with jon why were you in right seat all the time?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

It was just the way we operated. Jon didn't really like being in the right side I think...

[@DR.ELEKTRIK]

What do you mean by 3 green no red?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That means the landing gear is down and locked

[@stenny1970]

You guys get a lot of free time and are able to take the Jet anywhere you want to go ?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I wish...we go where we are told to go.

[@richiesmith2292]

I've noticed sometimes you guys have on polo shirts and others you have on the typical pilot uniforms. Is it customer request or do you always wear those when you have a live flight and not a ferry?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

It's passenger based. Some like the full uniform, some like the polo shirts. If we don't know, we go with the full uniform

[@jacks4733]

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but why don't those cheap screws buy you heads up displays?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That's actually the first time on that question. There weren't very many G-IVs produced with HUD, and those that hade it are very seldom used.

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

Do you de-rate the engine performance for TO?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We can, but typically leave it fully rated

[@nathandb]

Do you become familiar with the approaches of so many different airports or are you pretty much learning them during the briefs?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We do naturally learn the ones we do often, but it's always best to rely on the charts. For the most part we learn them on the brief.

[@kittykat999a]

What is Six lights when you are landing? Thanks

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That means both thrust reversers are fully deployed...3 for each engine.

[@arifahrizal3166]

have you ever do bad weather landing?

[@arifahrizal3166]

very nice content by the way.. keep up the great work..

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We do from time to time.

[@edgarhump]

Hi sean hello from mexico, I have a question I have seen most of your videos but in any video before landing I see that you do a briefing for any type of approach, I'm a pilot also flying a pilatus NG and in all kind of approaches we do the briefing, my questions is if they do it but you do not record that part of the video or just follow the fms gives it to you by default ?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Hey Edgar! We always do a briefing before each approach; however, sometimes it is very brief for visual approaches to airports that we are very familiar with. I should show that, though. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@gulfstreamdriver131]

What's up Sean..... great videos guys! Quick question.....I've noticed that sometimes the cpt has full beard..... does the GIV has a newer type of oxygen mask that facial hair is not big of a factor to seal or your company just don't mind facial hair for pilots!? Tks and keep up the good work..... you three (Francine included) are the best crew on youtube! 👍🏽

[@CorporatePilotLife]

There has been a lot of debate as to weather a beard will affect the seal of the mask. Our company doesn't really have an issue with it...but hopefully we never get into a situation where our lives depend on the oxygen masks! Thanks for the compliments!

[@Catttrain]

Wonderful video, but please minimize the fast forward on takeoffs and landings. Its okay during cruise.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Understood. I've been having issues with the cameras sometimes failing to record from time to time. When that happens on the one recording the audio, the footage becomes somewhat useless, so I end up doing a fast forward. I'm working on new options to prevent that from happening in the future. Hang with me while I get it sorted out. Thanks for the input.

[@mariomatovina4]

How often does it happen that you fly the plane with no passengers and for what reason?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I would say a few times a month. It's just to reposition for the next passengers.

[@canadianwing]

the hell is a nutcracker on the final check before landing? :D

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Gulfstream term for weight on wheels switch...

[@canadianwing]

thanks for the quick response! keep up the good work guys!

[@Crifstar]

When you are not in Homebase for several days do you get to go home or do you stay with the aircraft wherever it is?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Just depends on the situation, but usually we stay with the plane

[@Crifstar]

Cool I'm trying to catch a picture of you guys flying over my house when you go into Teterboro from the south, the aircraft are anywhere from fl 2200 to 2800 when landing from the south. I use flightradar24 app to check

[@dsnow8308]

What's the fastest you have flown this plane?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I think we've pushed to Mach .85 before.

[@badbilly1083]

Who does your video editing and sound?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I do. If you have any suggestions, I'm open to it...

[@OrtonGamer1]

Do you ever do an ILS landing or is all by pilot command when you do your approach? How much do you use ILS?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We use the ILS almost every day...it is very often flown by the autopilot, however. Even when the weather is clear, we still use the ILS to ensure we are lined up with the correct runway. As crazy as it may sound, there have peen several planes land on the wrong runway, even the wrong airport! These could have been prevented by using some sort of instrument guidance to the runway.

[@caca121112]

Why do you use this callsign? Why not the normal prefix?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We can use the tail number if we feel like it. The company likes the free advertising...and it makes us sound cool I guess.

[@janaaj1an889]

Presidential appears to have a huge fleet, judging by the website. How many pilots do they employ?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I have no idea...we're spread all over. Many of them I've never even met.

[@flyingkiwimama]

hello

[@Wtf0069]

Wtf is Nutcracker?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That's the Gulfstream term for a weight on wheels switch. It tells the airplane if we are on the ground or in the air.

[@marcweinel1384]

Hey Shaun are u only flying on the jet gulfstream or do u fly commercial also Shaun are u on Facebook can I ad you

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I just fly the Gulfstream. I don't really use Facebook, though

[@marcweinel1384]

That's cool tell me about ur self are u married kids where in the U.S u from you look like such a cool guy

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Yep...married with kids...live in Florida. Glad you enjoy!

[@arthurparris6223]

Love your videos but this "Music" needs to go. Can't hear your audio, IMHO. Keep them coming.

[@arthurparris6223]

Sorry, I spoke to quickly!!!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Ask and you shall receive...

[@Jaden48108]

Your harness is too low! (Should be in the belly-button position- or higher) In a sudden deceleration event don't expect a happy ending. Just give it two or three more inches of elevation . . . this is T. Spearman, USAF retired, call sign "Slag." "Slag" by the way, in America means the excrement of molten metal . . . I didn't like it at first, but it kind of grew on me. But don't do what I did when I visited England wearing my "Slag" baseball hat (given to me as a gift) wearing it everywhere . . . it means, in the merry ol' country of England, slang for prostitute . . . no wonder everyone kept looking at me
