Gulfstream to California...Stuck Mic on L.A. Center! - Pilot VLOG 44

[@60jscott]

LOVE your videos! I get somewhat depressed every time I see old airplanes being scrapped or in the process of being scrapped. Thank you for your work here, it is VERY entertaining.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you!

[@petermorgulis5734]

Every video I watch demonstrates a very high level of communication between P1 & P2 and ATC - clear, concise, & professional. Have you ever thought of developing training videos for the industry????

[@NQUINNT]

That’s cool that the FBO has a jet bridge like a normal terminal!

[@timothyosborn1697]

Cool landing at San Bernardino Int'l. My father was stationed at the former Norton AFB, back in '70-'71. We lived up Stirling Ave, from the base with the cross street of Highland. For some reason knowing it was the old Norton AFB you landed at brought back some fun memories. Thanks for posting!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That's fantastic…glad you liked it!

[@doctwiggenberry5324]

Sure love the woodwork in the cabin.

[@MOPARdave999]

Seriously, Sean, John and Francine.....love the way you put this stuff together! Informative and entertaining with some interesting ventures "off piste"! Keep up the good work....I feel like I'm one of the crew now! Great tune at the end too!!

[@curtisccr]

Just to repeat what I see all over these comments, you guys are awesome. I'll add Francine! The three of you are an excellent example of a truly professional corporate flight crew. Nothing half-assed about the folks running Presidential 69.

[@hockeyref8789]

Sean, why would you be surprised of your popularity as you put out a first class product!!! Another great job and can already hardly wait for your next video!! I have followed you quite a bit since someone in Indy said he watches your channel. I met Mr. M in Indy this past Feb.. what a great guy! As a result of a little encouragement from 390gm I find myself a 65 year old trident pilot. Hello from MSP and as John said strong tailwinds an smooth flights.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I haven't med Mr. M yet myself, but did get to speak with him a bit on the radio and electronically. Indeed he seems to be a fantastic guy. I'm glad you like the channel!

[@tony16146]

Keep it coming...

[@normk5761]

SBD used to be Norton AFB. It was established shortly after Pearl Harbor was attacked to protect the southern California area. That's why it's so far inland. I learned to fly out of VNY which was the best training environment as you learn to deal with insanely dense traffic from day one. I really enjoy your channel and thank you for it!

[@dbqdude75ify]

I love your videos. I miss flying on the corporate jet. I traveled for about 25 years 15 to 20 days a month. We started with a King Air B200, then a Citation jet and our last was a G IV and I loved that plane.

[@briancota4544]

Wow! The old birds. Think of the stories they could tell. For me my favorite old bird is the 27. Think of how manual that plane was.... no wonder it needed three pilots!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We were saying the same thing as we were looking at them...think of the places they have been, and the things they have seen. If only they could talk

[@bradwest8493]

I've been in Las Vegas in my RV the last couple of weeks. I check Flight aware the other day and saw you were here. The RV park I stay at is about 1.5 miles off the end of the 19's. The next morning i was outside and looked up and saw a Gulfstream departing that looked like your pictures. Checked Flight Aware and yep, it was you guys. Did you see me waving? 68 years old, been flying since I was 11 and I still get excited about airplane flying overhead...........what's wrong with me? LOL. I spent several days out at Nellis watching and photographing the array aircraft participating in Red Flag, really Kewl.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That's fantastic! I'll have to go back to the raw video and see if it caught you out the window! Glad to hear you're still enjoying it!

[@bw5343]

You guys rock! I'm not a pilot, but am an aviation enthusiast. It's fun to watch things from your perspective. Say hello to the lovely Francine.

[@SpeedbumpJoey]

Great video! Great work you produce! Love watching you and John displaying your CRM, excellent to see. Keep up the great work. Hope to meet you all sometime if you’re ever through Dallas!

[@buckbuchanan5849]

Not blowing sunshine here, you two work together like a well oiled machine! Pleasure to watch and learn from, and you're easily matching or exceeding any of the others. Appreciate posting this for us GA guys, much appreciated!

[@yalladiego5606]

Funny I had my first solo X- country to Hemet from Gillepsie Airfield (KSEE). I guess you know that one..

[@GreggK6EGG]

you guys work great together and good SA

[@snafu720]

Super sweet videos and commentary. Would like more technical / cockpit tours. Spectacular scenery!

[@notadev]

Love all of your videos! Understanding what happens in the cockpit is great. Keep up the great work. Look forward to many more. Safe flying.

[@anthonygallegos3891]

Not a pilot, but sure enjoy each video and your sightseeing treks. Have enjoyed aviation all my life, nice to see how your team works so well together. Over my years I worked as a manufacturing engineer on the L-1011, P3 Orion, S3A, B1B, and multicolor display for the F15. Thank you for the videos. Anthony Gallegos

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Glad you enjoy the videos!

[@douglassultz321]

I have watch about every one of your videos, you two are the best to watch hands down.

[@robertwilkins322]

Another great video. Was extra special since I learned to fly out there in Riverside/San Berdo area.. Paradise VOR was the first VOR I ever used..Thank you guys for sharing your trip. You two have the BEST CRM ever. A pleasure to watch.. Hope we can meet up sometime...

[@scottmajor2620]

Airplane scrap yards make me sad, but they sure are interesting. Great vid.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Agreed...

[@tawmack]

Well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@marindelgado5638]

This is for Francine 💐💐💐😀💐🌹🌹vice job guys thnk you for sharing ,

[@jameswikstrom4174]

You guys are taking the art of making videos to new heights! Extremely well done and edited. I imagine the editing is quite time consuming so really appreciate your time and effort. Love the way you mix up flying with a hiking tour of the area. I believe you have the perfect flight crew! Sean,John & Francine! My regards and compliments to all !

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thanks James! That means a lot to us!!

[@OrrTrigger013]

Awesome videos, it’s great to listen to all the Coms and Briefings (approach plate, Climb out...)

[@chuckmarsh7981]

Outstanding video. Great to see a hint of the work that goes into being a working corporate pilot. You guys have obviously been working together for a long time. You work well together as a team, Very professional and fun. Awesome to see the in between flights, hikes and sights too, Great job!!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thanks Chuck! We do enjoy ourselves...

[@dhammarosi]

Credit to ATC for ”direct to Paradise” 😃 Really enjoying your videos. It’s obvious a lot of care go into making them. They have a calming effect on me thanks to your relaxed and secure composure. Thanks a lot.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Excellent...Thanks!

[@thomasbrassard1321]

love this site.you guys communicate together great comes from knowing the airplane and yourselves..A note on stuck mikes. every body hears you say check stuck mike except the airplane having it. so no use to make that transmission

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Exactly!! Glad you like the content!

[@TheParadisecove]

Shaun...damn!! sure do miss you flying with John....sure enough.....

[@GregiiFlieger]

New subscriber... You guys are a great team and ademate professionals. I enjoy coming along, thanks!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Welcome to the Corporate Pilot Life!

[@trottheblackdog]

Gotta say Shaun, your video editing skills are super solid!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you!

[@jonathanknight89]

You guy’s perfect checklist discipline and standardized call outs are great! Loving your videos.

[@Pilot801]

I can't get enough of your videos! Awesome work! I loved the circuit breaker check. Like a choreographed dance from a funny movie or something. Well-practiced. And I agree with previous comments: if you guys teamed up with Steveo1Kinevo for a video, I would be ecstatic! Keep up the good work!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

It's funny the things people notice...I've seen so many comments about the CB check. To me that's such a routine, every day thing, but I guess that's why it looks so choreographed! Glad you are enjoying the videos, and thanks for watching!

[@Pilot801]

It's probably because that's the first time we've really seen it on a video. You and Jon make a great crew!

[@ralphbailey8234]

Still cool watching them

[@callahancarey3490]

Hi Jon, you guys are missing a screw on your Copilot sun visor rail at the outboard upper corner of the windshield. 😉

[@judd_s5643]

Callahan Carey - quick tag it INOP before the next ramp check....😳

[@rodgerhatfield3068]

Thanks for the ride!!! Sweet plane!!!!! Nice Galley. Surprised it was that large. Safe travels all!!!!

[@davidwilliams1664]

FL230 to 410... good rate of climb. Love those Tays! Best video yet!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Good old Rolls Royce!

[@OMG_No_Way]

I’ve watched a lot of flying videos that show pilots communicating. You guys are by far the best. The CRM is on point on this flight deck. Bad ass.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you! We pride ourselves on working well together for safety an efficiency.

[@OMG_No_Way]

Corporate Pilot Life And it shows!!

[@ss442es]

Thanks for the ride! Better than broadcast TV. I reckon that was Lake Arrow Head on the hike in the background? been there a long time ago cruising around but have never flown into San Bernadino, or Guantanamo Bay for that matter. Appreciate the extra work to produce the videos and maximum respect for the management that promotes this interesting aspect of corporate aviation. We need more pilots not less and this window to this industry is important in my view. Thanks again guys and Francine.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you very much! We are very proud of what we do, and try to do it as professionally as possible while always enjoying ourselves. That was actually Big Bear Lake. We did drive past Lake Arrowhead on the way.

[@Joozt112]

That old KLM MD-11 makes me sad. Prettiest bird in the sky!

[@SKS8080]

It certainly has exploded. They’re up to 47k subscribers. Very entertaining

[@johnnunez17]

My favorite team up front. Vaminos.....✈️✈️👍🏻🇺🇸

[@mikerimmer6757]

Love watching your videos, I'd love to do what you guys do, the different cities, the different countries. No two days are the same, awesome. Keep doing what you guys do best.

[@Peter-gr7wx]

The boneyard vision is really intresting. Great job. These extras you add to the videos are brilliant.

[@boatlover1875]

Another great video. You guys communicate so well, no CRM issues in your cockpit. I think a cool video for a lot of people would be about the verbiage on the checklists.

[@BLAMBERRY]

Boat Lover yea man that circuit breaker check looked like it was choreographed by lady gaga or something. Shit was smooth af

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We've been working together for years, so things tend to go pretty smoothly. A clear advantage of flying with the same person on a regular basis.

[@flynntesshildebrand9712]

That would be great to meet you all in person someday, I just wish I were still working KOA now Ellison Onizuka International Airport, right now I'm living just above HND Henderson Executive Airport NV.. I watch for you on FB.. You certainly are living my dream.. Love all the arieal shots and love going along your hikes and tours, just awesome..

[@ceruleanfish6703]

Very interesting video guys. I love how varied it is for the structure. Some personal stuff with the hiking. Also the tour of the bone yard was very interesting. Sad, those huge older planes getting chopped up. Smooth winds to you.

[@khwaac]

Thanks for the great video 📹

[@GregBalogh]

Awesome video, and it's great that you are showing us the (approach/taxi) charts. Happy to watch longer videos also, it is educative and entertaining. Safe landing guys.

[@keithp5669]

Great vid. Maybe you've already covered it but would like to have a similar tech video covering the before takeoff checklist (CAS is clear etc..). Cheers!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I was just thinking that would be a good one...thanks!

[@PlaneGeek007]

Awesome video!!!! So cool to be along for the ride. Thanks for all the hard work. Wish you continued clear skies and safe travels

[@edgarhump]

Hi Sean finally recording the briefing hahaha one of the best videos that you uploaded in youtube , in mexico its common block the frequency but the funny thing is the controllers block it and yo can listen what they talk to each other co worker , Hi from Mexico

[@joshmccorquodale9082]

Awesome video, beautiful sunset views!

[@dwaynereid6196]

Who would have though that when I can't sleep at night, I watch your videos!!! New to me but I prefer this to reality tv. I'm hooked and now subscribed!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Awesome...Thanks!

[@halleventhal1088]

Drinking, watching your video on big giant tv. Good Friday night

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That sounds amazing!

[@Mattinspfldil]

New Subscriber. Watched your videos on a flight from Stl to London. Really helped pass the time.

[@ronmoore5827]

You guys looked like a couple of synchronized swimmers when you were checking those breakers. Good job as always and enjoy your videos.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We're trying to get it in the Olympics for 2020...I think we're good at least for a bronze medal!

[@LOKELYOKEL1]

Roger, Roger. What's your vector, Victor. sorry I had to say it! :)

[@dougf94912]

Another great video! Thanks for highlighting the detail on the Airport information charts.

[@stevemullin1195]

Great videos ....I'm a student pilot and fly out of KVNY. If you ever make it there would love to meet you guys.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We were just there! The video will be out in the next week or so...

[@stevemullin1195]

Corporate Pilot Life Is there a maximum age limit to be a corporate pilot like there is for the airlines?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Depends on the type of operation...private part 91 no. For charter going international, limits start to apply. 65 to be PIC I believe.

[@ednesbit2988]

SAN BERNARDINO????? THATS MY AREA AND THE ONLY AIRPORT IN THAT AREA I KNOW OF IS THE OLD NORTON AIR FORCE BASE THATS CLOSED NOW AND CAL FIRE OPERATES OUT OF THERE I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS STILL OPEN FOR COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC WITH ONTARIO AND LAX RIGHT HERE WISH I KNEW I COULD OF MET UP AND HAD A BLAST WITH YOU GUYS OH WELL LOVED IT

[@LAPGOCHINSTRUCTOR]

With the stuck mic there should be a procedure where there's an alternative frequency that is temporarily used. In the UK there have been many times deliberate radio interference on various aircraft frequencies

[@JDon280Z]

Love your videos, keep it up. I don't do facebook or twitter so I guess I will just wait for the videos. I have been binge watching, can't get enough. Very professional and entertaining.

[@richardvarner2802]

I’m a new viewer to your channel, Sean (I think I got your name right). I’m so amazed at how well you and John work together. You guys are a great team. Both of you see so precise in all you do. So far, I’ve watched 4-5 of your videos, and have really enjoyed them. I would definitely feel safe with you two in command of the aircraft. I was a line crewman at an FBO at Houston Hobby (Houston Intercontinental Airport back then), back in the early 1960’s. I remember when the first Gulfstreams came out, with those screaming GE turboprops engines. Boy, those things were so loud with that high-pitch scream. The Gulfstream jets hadn’t come out yet at that time. Anyway, I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks for sharing them, and keep up the good work. Fly safe on your upcoming flights.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

There are a few old G1s at Palm Beach still flying, They sure are loud, but I still love them. It's actually Shaun and Jon. Very few people get them right first time around. I hope you enjoy the videos!

[@richardvarner2802]

My apologies, Shaun, and thanks for the reply and the correction. Yeah, I still love those G1s, as well. I remember that back in those days, the Vickers Viscount also had 4 of those engines. We had both aircraft stationed at our FBO, and I remember when that Viscount would come return from a trip. Boy, those 4 engines screaming was twice as loud as the Gulfstream G1. WOW!! What memories I have of those days. Safe flying, Guys, and enjoy each trip.

[@celestialfix]

Great video. Im an old Navy guy and whenever I think of Gulfstream, I think of the Grumman Aircraft Corporation of Bethpage, NY, and all the great planes they made for the US Navy. The reason the Gulfstream is synonymous with build quality goes back to its Grumman DNA. It takes a strong airframe to land on a carrier---each trap is like being in a car accident---and Grumman made the best. The F-14 Tomcat was one of their last ones, and it helped win the Cold War. I remember reading that on more that one occasion during the Korean War, that John Glenn was able to fly his Grumman F9F Panther back and land it even though it was so shot full of holes that maintenance crews just marked it as junk....it couldn't be repaired. That's one tough airplane. Grumman also made the Lunar Landing Module for the Apollo program, and thus allowed to us land on the moon six times. Of course, Grumman is now part of Northrop Grumman, and the Gulfstream division was sold to General Dynamics years ago. It's really a "Grumman" Gulfstream you're flying. But I'm sure you guys know all that. Keep up the great work!

[@chrissixfix]

And we are still building them to the same standards

[@niceguy2171]

Great info celestialfix, and have heard the John Glenn F9F story before, and some others about the toughness of Grumman aircraft, from a old aircraft mechanic I apprenticed with at 1 point.

[@celestialfix]

niceguy217 Hey niceguy, yeah in the Navy, Grumman's planes were so tough and over-engineered, that the company was jokingly referred to as "Grumman Iron Works." And pilots liked them because, as the John Glenn stories point out, it was a "coming home" airplane even after taking a beating that would have brought down most other similar aircraft. Best to you.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Some of that Gulfstream/Grumman lineage I did know. However, I did not know that Grumman made the Lunar Landing Module...that's amazing! They do make very tough airplanes.

[@celestialfix]

Corporate Pilot Life And consistent with the "Grumman Iron Works" over-engineered image, during Apollo 13 when the North American Rockwell built service module became disabled, Grumman's Lunar Landing Module, which was only supposed to land and take off from the Moon, became the main engine for getting the crew back to Earth, and executed a number of cold start burns it was never designed to have to do. As a joke to NASA, Grumman later sent a bill to Rockwell for a "towing charge," lol.

[@danwesinger3802]

Extremely professional crew. The corporate pilot life isn't easy, and your team makes it look like there never is any "turbulence". You said your pax are great, folks they reflect your service, well done! Next time in KBOS or KBED I'll recommend a good place for chowder.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you for the compliments! We always try to do our best. I do miss some good seafood in Boston...

[@NikoMag1k]

Surprised I haven’t seen your videos before. Good stuff. Looking forward to the next one!

[@delevo51]

Only recently found your channel and loving watching your video`s with a glass of californian merlot, so keep up the good work you guy`s

[@felixarrieche216]

Nice video to and from San Bernardino , lots to look up and be part of Safe flying always see you.

[@gaylonjhawkins9372]

I enjoy each video - keep up the good work in promoting aviation.

[@BajaGirl302]

Absolutely a great video! You are the bomb. I Love to fly and look forward to seeing you also. Love you Francine!

[@paulmacbay9404]

I can't wait for the day I can fly one of these.

[@richhob9780]

Great Video, thanks, especially appreciated the pointers as you went through the charts Sean. Really enjoyed this. Keep up the good work, and as always-fly safely!

[@williegillie5712]

Nice channel. Interesting how fast your auto throttles react to changes in turns and height adjustments. Looks like a smooth ride for sure. Greased landings too nice!

[@matttrout364]

Another great video. Love watching them, even our 9 year old daughter loves watching your videos. What's the fastest rate of climb you can achieve? Comfortably as well as when your empty.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

On an average day right after takeoff, we will see around 3,000 feet per minute. On a very cold day with very little weight, we might be able to maintain 6,000 feet per minute.

[@roberthodgins5740]

Great video thanks for sharing and Great views. I would guess those views never get old

[@CplJack]

Great vid. Remember that aircraft tour.

[@CplJack]

I will remember*

[@coolguystuff4265]

I'm so glad I found this channel! Awesome videos! Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences with us.

[@mdaven428]

Hey guys...great channel. If you like hiking...next time you land at Van Nuys, CA and you have some down time...drive up the 5 freeway north, then hwy 14 towards Palmdale.......Look for Vasquez Rocks State park. Really nice hiking.....you can go many times and never have the same view. Lots of famous commercials/movies made here. Star Trek Epidose where Capt Kirk fights the Lizard Man on some meteor...Worst fight scene in hx of cinema by the way. Look it up You Tube of course. anyway, great hiking there. Enjoy.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Awesome...Thank you!

[@stevehofmaster7489]

Great trip guys.I always enjoy watching these.Take care,Happy flying!

[@v12kid]

Great vid, enjoyed the scrap birds although it brought a tear to my eye

[@terryfurrh666]

Really enjoyed your video, have had a stuck mic before. didn't get the instagram to follow you guys. hope you guys come through Okc sometime need to get you shaun a pr of Costa sunglasses like John's.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

HAHA! I'm still stuck on the Maui Jims

[@jasonutley2367]

Great job guys! Love the G IV..Awesome ride:)

[@brentrichter1131]

Great CRM. Well done!

[@geoffeg]

Enjoyed this video a lot, great views. Maybe in an upcoming video you could talk about what it's like to fly the Gullfstream 4? The cockpit design looks nice, especially those displays mounted in the glare shield.

[@matthewlynn793]

These are amazingly cool videos. Thanks for taking the time to make and share them!

[@Bravo_Kilo_Kilo]

Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@niceguy2171]

Yeah..Francine's back! And taking care of you guys as always. Nice showing that stuck mic, but you always hope it's not you, but you guys did a good job of checking that, and helping others to check there's too! Don't know if people realize how dangerous that is, no communication on the channel where you're supposed to have yours! One last thing, while some of us will follow on insta and such, realize there are some of us where our current profession doesn't allow to join social media (or people who don't want to) so youtube to the rescue for those of us like that!

[@niceguy2171]

Forgot to add, that footage at 10:09 is stunning!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That's a good point I hadn't though of...I'll do my best to keep you guys updated via KZbin. It's just a bit harder to get videos out on a real time basis compared to some of the other social media platforms. Thanks for pointing that out for me, I'll keep it in mind. Glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@Hawktangofive1]

Hi, Did John say a 777 just arrived? Did he mean just arrived to be dismantled? Man if so!! im getting old? Love the videos. Im subscribing. I have been a Aircraft mechanic / Pilot for about 30 years or so. I have worked at Camarillo airport for most of that time. Cool little airport with lots of history. Most people, even around this small airport do not know about the underground bunkers and pathways under the airport? I guess they do now?? Stop by the airport one day and I will by you guys and gal a great Hamburger, Fries and a Coke at the famous"Waypoint" airport cafe. Take care and keep up all the great videos. Hawk out!!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

You heard correctly...they were getting it ready to be scrapped out. We do get to your area from time to time. I'll let you know!

[@michaelglockenmeier906]

I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks a lot for sharing so much exciting flight impressions! Best regards to your colleagues.

[@ralphbailey8234]

So much difference with the new company

[@athiest4you]

great video .. like the list and detail at the beginning .. lot busier than i thought

[@flyboybobio3431]

Great video as usual. You guys are the epitome of professional pilots. I’d fly with you in a heartbeat. If your ever in Wine Country in Northern California look me up KSTS. Love to meet you.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Northern California is one of my favorite places to be...

[@hugotango]

I can't tell you guys enough how much I love this channel! Glad I stumbled onto it and great to see it growing!

[@mikeprenis2187]

San Bernardino: Had a funny thought when you were showing the old plane bone yard. Come back to Prez69 and your rimz are gone and it’s sitting on concrete blocks...🤣

[@jbrisson007]

Yes have been through stuck mic problems, however not flying!..

[@airlogic]

Stunning Everything...!

[@ronarnott1801]

Gee, I'm really late to this party,....about four years. If I had known I would have invited you over for the best citrus you've every had. Just downstream from Big Bear Lake near Redlands and just east of my now parking spot at SBD. O well.
