London Layover April 2017 Boeing 777

[@64mustangfan]

Juan is a solid good bloke, no ego, well informed and has that element of interest and curiosity, and turns it into very entertaining videos with his user friendly smooth accent.

[@Makeitliquidfast]

Juan, your just an honest interesting person and fun to listen to. Nothing you do is uninteresting, thanks.

[@howardruse2712]

As a U.K. Civil engineer I have been following your Oroville Dam updates with great interest. Very well informed, without the speculation evident on other channels. The other content is so interesting too, and now a visitor's view of my own city, even including my Institution building. Great job, very well done!

[@howardruse2712]

By the way, the BBC is publicly funded by the TV licence fee. No adverts.

[@RLG261]

The TV license fee is actually a tax you must pay to watch TV in the U.K. You have to pay it each year to have permission to watch your TV. Cable, satellite, or over the air - pay or pay a fine or go to jail. . The BBC has companies working for them that enforce this intrusion on civil liberties. They keep track of every household that has not paid their tax and make a visit to each to see if they are cheating. They even have roaming trucks that electronically eavesdrop to see if someone is watching TV. This is the most shocking thing I've heard of if true. I'm in the USA so am not sure if all this is true. Just what I read. Here is a link: www.tvlicensing.co.uk/ If you don't watch TV you must tell them. They keep track of everybody.

[@timwilkinson2797]

I stopped paying 3/4 years ago because Left wing agenda BS n total lies they push down ppl throats !!!

[@HappyQuailsLC]

tim wilkinson How much does it cost? Is it rated per person?

[@MarkTillotson]

And subscribed to UFOmania instead?

[@johnnyholland8765]

I have been in aviation manufacturing for 31 years and have never flown. I have machined all manner of parts for the 777 and most all other models including Airbus and others. It never ceases to amaze me you can be in the states and within a matter of a few hours be in another part of the world. As far as titanium goes it is super strong yet durable and is a pain to machine. Many components of the 777 are of titanium as well as other "exotic" metals. Also lot of wing flex in a 777 but is designed that way. It is a very good dependable air frame and the GE powerplants are tough as nails. Enjoyed the tour and safe flying on your return trip.

[@TheAdadadada]

Captain Juan, I love yer channel! Thanks for sharing you passion for life with the world! Be safe!

[@MrCrazzy420]

i think your a great vloger .. im glad the dam opened out eyes to a great man.... keep up the good work ....

[@snidepete5700]

Ditto on all....

[@peachiejean5643]

Oh my,, thank you Juan for the lesson on the 777. I just love your videos of your travels. I get to see things through your eyes and places I am not able to see. Have a safe flight back home.

[@sportscarnut]

Mr. Browne is the epitome of the seasoned ultra competent American airline pilot. He deserves a first chair seat soon!

[@sailaab]

first chair s3at?

[@h20dad1]

Hello Juan. After I started taking an interest of the Orville Dam, I started watching all of your fantastic KZbin videos. They are far more informative than any of the other videos or articles out there. That being said, I also have a great interest in the 777 myself. I started with the Boeing company 39 years ago as a toolmaker, and when word got out about a new aircraft, 777 I was excited and got on board. We opened a brand new plant in Tacoma, Wa. and 2 years later, we were delivering a complete tail section, empennage, it is called, for this bird. After spending 10 year at this plant, I was transferred up to the Everett plant, which is the final assy factory. After 12 years in my tooling shop there, I finally retired in June of 2015, and now living on Whidbey Island, across the water from Everett. So from the time I started in the 777 program, I have put my hands on every single 777 ever built, up until June of 2016, which is close to 1500 planes. Just wanted to say, you have picked a hell of a bird to fly. Now this may blow your mind, but I have never flown on any airplane in my life, after building them for 39 years. Not that I wouldn't enjoy it or being afraid of flying, but I would rather go by rail or drive, as to enjoy the travel a bit more making it more personal. Keep up the fantastic videos.

[@blancolirio]

Wow! Thanks for making such a great plane Bob!

[@derekdee9592]

From someone who lives just two hours outside London I've got to say that was a superb little snapshot of a great city tour, many thanks.

[@scotta3082]

Thanks for the video. Triple 7 landing gear is quite Impressive.

[@ronaldturnbull429]

you think thats landing gear was good look at the A380 gear

[@gregknipe5358]

as an air force brat born on Loan Airbase near Chateauroux France, it is like coming home, to hear your voice, and your creative use of your generous knowledge base. thank you.

[@GarySmythe]

Thanks Juan! Interesting video. Never been to England and probably never will so fun to see some of the big sights.

[@dalesnale]

Juan you're a renaissance man! Thanks for your channel and vlog on the spillway. I stopped checking the DWR and all other sites as you put the data together so comprihensively. Keep it up. They will be equal...(?)

[@michaelbdechellis]

Mr. Brown, you without doubt or comparison have created something very unique with your channel. No matter the subject, you bring forth a comfortable presentation that comes across as personal, easy, educational and highly entertaining. I look forward to each new edition you share. Many thanks for your efforts and for sharing your life and knowledge with us. Huell Howser would be a proud fan.Take Care!

[@tomkentington8477]

I flew from NY to LA just last week on AA and the Captain said nothing the whole way except for "prepare for takeoff and prepare for landing". I like when the Captain tells the passengers when there's something out the window worth seeing, especially when flying in an older aircraft that doesn't have the seat-back screens. I'm sure there's only so much you're allowed to share, but it'd be awesome if you could post more videos about the 777 (or any other airliner), 777 is an amazing piece of machinery

[@indylovelace]

A year later, this video popped up in my feed. I watched it again. So enjoyable.

[@norcaldeemichaels]

Your Oroville dam posts led me to this post. I noticed what you did there with the music "whilst" at the war memorial. Clever selection. I look forward to your next report from Butte County. Safe travels.

[@eviltwiner]

Is it possible to see more snippets from the 777 in the future? (As long as it doesn't get you into trouble with your employer :) )

[@jubelet]

Yeah me too, I thought the aircraft segment was way too short.

[@dudeonbike800]

Agreed. I thought the very same thing... some airline brass is gonna get all worked up and shut that stuff down. NO!!!!! Those of us who grew up being able to visit the cockpit and watch planes take off and land really miss the access we enjoyed way back when. Keep it up, Juan!

[@ATH_Berkshire]

What some people may have missed is that on this flight the weight of the cargo was about 80% of the weight of the pax and their bags. Most people outside of aviation don't appreciate just how much of the worlds air cargo goes on "passenger" flights.

[@blancolirio]

Yes! and 'older' planes like the 777 can haul more of it than say a 787, or Airbus.

[@motorv8N]

And now with our poor industry just decimated by COVID we're sending cargo in the cabin too since there are no pax upstairs...

[@gurueddy]

Lovely shots of the RAF bomber memorial. Very poignant timing here in Australia. ANZAC Day is April 25th, which marked the landing date at Gallipoli, and commemorates all Australians who died in service of their country. There were many Aussie airmen crewing the fighters and bombers over England. Nb : If you ever visit Canberra, drop by the war memorial to see 'G for George' - the RAAF Lancaster bomber that survived 90 missions over Germany and occupied Europe.

[@blancolirio]

Wow! Keep us posted on this.

[@gurueddy]

Here's a few pics of G for George at the Australian War Memorial last year. facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10154098308117033&id=675712032

[@MLR400]

By far your channel has been one of the better channels I viewed for the past two years. Very informative and to the point on all topics including your forays on the Orville Dam project. Be careful, all folks including the Brits will soon recognize you and you might end up being a celebrity :-) . Thanks for sharing and all that you do on your channel.

[@basicdata]

Goodbye Blue Sky Pink Floyd Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky Ooh Did you see the frightened ones? Did you hear the falling bombs? Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the Promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue Sky? Ooh Did you see the frightened ones? Did you hear the falling bombs? The flames… ( I really like your videos :) )

[@hawgbreath]

Learning to Fly Pink Floyd Above the planet on a wing and a prayer, My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air, Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, a state of bliss Can't keep my mind from the circling sky Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I @blancolirio keep ‘em coming!

[@jamesedmister9922]

Great to see that you and 250 passengers have been flying again!

[@michaeldougfir9807]

Greetings from NE Calif. Really appreciate your stats, landing gear, and London tour. This is my first int'l tour with you. Hope to see more. Thanks so much.

[@angelapierred6461]

I don't get to travel and have only been out of the states once in my 61 yrs, so I absolutely LOVE seeing the world this way. Thanks for all you do!

[@lavernsimkins1164]

Thank You for the tour of London. It is nice seeing the tulips. May is the time Ottawa Ontario Canada has its tulip festival. I thought you were a small plane pilot Have fun on the return flight.

[@MrFurriephillips]

La Vern Simkins pretty sure the day job is "heavies", the light aircraft being for fun & the dam busting is a fascination/passion (for which I am very grateful). Keep up the good work, Juan.

[@richardschindler8822]

Retired corporate pilot here, spent many a day, even weeks sometimes, in merry ole London. Ahh, the good ole days, I miss it. Great video, brings back memories.

[@chrisdaniels3929]

Welcome to the UK Juan.

[@speedway9168]

Man I'm glad I came across your channel 2 mos ago; kept me quite entertained last 2 wks recovering from bronchitis...can't wait to meet up and ride some DS!

[@cynthiabaker4035]

That was a great tour, Thank You! Enjoyed it immensely, with everything else you need to have with you ,a picture of the sun may be necessary as well, since you don't get to see too much of it there.

[@Jules-6022]

Third! 😎 "International Edition"...awesome! Thx for sharing, Juan...London's on our "bucket list" too. Just love airplanes, courtesy of my dad who was career USAF! I'll get back to you on the math trivia question (will have to consult my recent algebra class notes LoL!). Take care & happy sight-seeing!

[@Michael.Chapman]

Thanks for another engrossing video treat-makes me wanna get onboard a 777 (or 787 from here in Australia perhaps) to enjoy touring those superb, historic London sites 👍🏼✈️

[@lmartinez3633]

Like your video approach, you talk about several things in an interesting but simple way

[@erichhitchcock3368]

I learn SO MUCH from this channel, there's nothing better than to listen to someone who really knows their s**t. The landing system(s) alone is amazing in itself on an aircraft of substantial size. I really like the wildfire information this channel gives also. Thanks Juan. You have yet another fan. As I listened to the guitar playing, it took me a minute to remember it is a Pink Floyd tune...great choice!

[@domm4918]

Juan, The Churchill War Rooms are very cool we went there in 2015 Dom from Aus

[@de5792]

There is something about the way this pilot demonstrates everything that makes it very interesting and enjoyable.

[@RangieNZ]

Having NO head/tailwind, is quicker overall. Having an equal ground-speed on both sectors, gives a shorter total flight time.

[@blancolirio]

Yes! As you are in a headwind state for a longer period of time.

[@skierman64]

RangieNZ that's because the effect of winds aloft is proportional. A 100kt headwind/tailwind will speed up a 400kt airplane 20% to 500kt Ground speed (tailwind) but slow the same airplane down 25% to 300 or GS (headwind).

[@MarkRose1337]

Unless you use a wind only one way, like AI 173 & AI 174.

[@makipsee]

blancolirio wouldn't the earths rotation also come into effect? being in one direction your going WITH the rotation thus causing a longer flight and one against resulting in a shorter flight

[@Flightstar]

Does that work if your in a plane or a bus and walk from one end to the other down the isle and back again, while its moving down the air/freeway at 600/ 60mph. No.

[@1rudderbum]

I’m a Boatbuilder/Sailor from Santa Cruz and am a lifetime fan of all Aircraft & Watercraft. To see and live long passages on both are a learning experience/test of ones own character. Good Bye Blue Sky (Pink Floyd) song hit a chord!! I’ve made a passage when a teen in late 70’s growing up. Santa Barbara to Monterrey. 31 hrs.!? As the storm approached I saw the sky close in and that song made sense!!! I’ll never forget. We’re all in this planet together and Mother Nature is Queen !! Thanks Brother for great info. Be safe all and Earth Bless .

[@Houndini]

That big bell ringing at end. I keep waiting see AC/DC jump out sky start jamming out.

[@dianne11ca]

Thank you, Juan! Taking us with you to London is very much appreciated by me. The last time I was in London was in 1975, and it looks the same. You captured the essence of London beautifully. You are a talent I am very happy to have found. Blessings to you and yours, and always in flight.

[@USSBB62]

Thanks no one ever took the time to explain fuel use to me or other passengers while flying or not. Once again thanks.

[@johncaywood5888]

Juan your demeanor as a person as well as a 1st officer on an airliner I love gives me a lot more confidence in the good guys and gals in aviation today. Thanks for the trouble you go to to up the level of information available to the civilian passenger. And I think i learned almost as much about London from this than from the few days I was there 8 years ago. Keep up the good work, both kinds.

[@emmettcunninghamjr.5207]

GODSPEED! CAPTAIN JAUN BROWNE...GREAT FOOTAGE...WILCO!

[@forthedisenfranchised4366]

Excellent Juan, I hope you had a good trip (you got lots done) - typical weather for England. It is amazing what you do, you certainly push yourself in life.

[@BradGryphonn]

Thanks Juan. Big LOLs about the 'Bell End'. I was waiting for a Brit to say something :) . BTW, love the Floyd music married with the war memorial footage.

[@Kadath_Gaming]

Brad Griffin I think we all had a bit of a chuckle across the pond at that one.

[@HappyQuailsLC]

Greg Phillips I didn't get it - not Brit enough, I guess. Care to explain for the Americans?

[@BradGryphonn]

I'm an Aussie Greg, but yeah, I know what a bell end is :) LOL

[@Kadath_Gaming]

I am glad Brad stepped in there LOL. I think the anatomical term is Glans...

[@nicolelemire326]

thank you for answering before I asked lol :P

[@phillippeterman1051]

When I was a Flight Engineer on C-5s for the Air Force I got to tour London a few times. Thank You for bringing back some great memories....

[@mkii1964]

Loved the Pink Floyd music!

[@MrSnout5]

Just watched this for the first time during the lockdown, first time I'd seen it, even though it's 3 years old. Some highly interesting facts and as a Londoner I enjoyed the tour. As others have mentioned, the BBC does not carry advertising and it is funded by an annual licence fee of £157.50, currently paid by almost every UK household under the age of 75 who own a TV.

[@para1324]

Another fine informative and interesting video. Please keep them going. Thank you Captain Juan. 👍✈️🇺🇸

[@vhpilot66]

Really cool video Juan! Love the 777 landing gear tour, the flight plan, the tour of London and especially the rendition of Pink Floyd “Good Bye Blue Sky” when showing the war memorials. Very well done. Please keep the videos coming!

[@Doodad2]

Thanks Juan, another interesting video!

[@garyrayr5250]

Hello Juan, Retired Materials Engineer here. I found your Oroville reports and discovered a very interesting man. Thanks for your work, your are a hell of a citizen journalist.

[@makemyday2560]

Fantastic International Edition..!! Thanks for the tour of London..!! Juan, Do you always do the pre flight walk around inspection of the 777??

[@Woodman_Custom_Sawing]

Awesome walk around the 777, thank you! I've visited a facility in Canada where they make and test the landing gear. Simply amazing.

[@driveman6490]

That was very cool.........anybody recognize you from your channel?

[@blancolirio]

Yea, when I was in Yosemite with the` kidz..."are you the guy...."

[@geofiggy]

JB, as mentioned I'm shuttling back on forth on "Blancolirio" as I play catch up. Loved this video. Learned more about the various buildings in London in these few minutes then when my wife and I were there for 2 days in 2012. Thanks!

[@leahrodda3706]

is there a video that we can go to in order to tour the inside of the 777 without showing anything that is classified? Curious to see if there is something like a crew quarters for during off duty while flying? Wouldn't hurt to see the inside of passenger cabin either. Are the seats bigger? You do an excellent job of explaining things. Thanks Juan!

[@blancolirio]

I'll look into that.

[@makemyday2560]

hi Leah, there are videos here on youtube of the crew quarters of 777, 747, 757, 767, DC-10s, Airbus, etc... just search

[@TyphoonVstrom]

There's nothing classified about a 777, plenty of information out there about everything you'd every want to know.

[@ronaldturnbull429]

you can find blue prints to all aircraft that shows every part of an aircraft can even get some show you every bolt screw and wire plus a lot of the interior is set to what the company that buys the planes want

[@leahrodda3706]

don't want blue prints, just want to see what it looks like inside

[@blampa]

You’re an American Airlines pilot - figures. Every American pilot I’ve encountered is a true professional with good humour and humility. Can’t say the same about United Airlines or their pilots who are no doubt a product of their environment. Thanks again for another awesome video.

[@RiggySmalls]

Beautiful choice of Pink Floyd music there. Love the “bellend” comment. Really made me smile. By-the-way, advertising didn’t pay for all that production equipment. That was the BBC and it’s a publicly funded.

[@bobclarie]

Thanks again Juan, for allowing us to experience your global, and local adventures, as always, I appreciate your efforts, . . positive rate . . . . gear up . . . . Bob

[@tony56shooter]

My Dronium Two died. Returned it to Best Buy with no issues. We need to get a DJI Mavic. happy flying.

[@blancolirio]

Yes!

[@Ronin4614]

Flying over there in a few weeks. We have a family farm not far from Dover. Flying VA, and I have no idea what aircraft I'll be in yet. All of my trips over, I just stay up after arrival and hit the sack early on day one. After that, the lag is not so bad. I hate the flight back because of the extra time flying into the wind. Mind the gap, and look right when crossing. I like the way they put that in the crosswalks in London.

[@CocoaBeachLiving]

Much appreciated, your plain speaking (pun intended 😂) is most welcome this aviation layman. Thank you.

[@annemacleod1421]

Juan, your old stuff is popping up because I’ve watched a few of your videos.....dating back to the start of our New Zealand 🇳🇿🇳🇿 covid pandemic lock down March 26.... we’re level 1 now!!! Love your videos ....

[@ssgoblin]

Flying a plane is no different from riding a bicycle; it's just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes .

[@PatrickWagz]

Pilots are just plane people, with a special air about them.

[@koningbolo4700]

Wouldn't surprise me if some of those flying men and women do something similar to there rigs for good luck or have an angle on the other sex... ;-)

Sounds like you're a real expert youngster.

[@frantucker608]

Hope you enjoyed your trip! Thanks for sharing the sights with us!

[@Zeemike1]

Goodbye Blue Skies...a perfect music choice. And the mini tour was great...loved the gardens.

[@seriouslyreally5413]

[@sideshowbob1544]

You make landing gear exciting, I never had a closeup look before!

[@paulgibbs5867]

Look daddy, there's an aeroplane in the sky.......

[@garyhall2126]

Thanks Juan! I'm glad to hear I approach "Jet Lag" like the pro's. London is a beautiful city. One of my favorite memories is a Swiss Air flight from Zurich to NYC. It was beautifully clear over all of Europe and most of the North Atlantic. We flew straight up the length of the UK and directly over London. Gorgeous view from 30,000 feet! Keep up the good work!

[@JohnnyFootwrinkle]

Those BBC units are not funded by advertising, in England/UK we have to pay a television license fee of £147 yearly. If you watch television without a license you can be fined up to £1000, they have a database and if your don't pay they send threatening letters and demands and eventually you have people turn up on your doorstep trying to come inside to see if you have a television. A lot of the world doesn't realise we have to pay this fee by law, even though the rest of the world actually gets BBC televsion and radio for free!!

[@calichef1962]

The comment above said the fee was 145, but either way, those Whovians here in the states thank you profusely for funding our favorite series. We can't wait to see who the 13th Doctor turns out to be! (Please, no spoilers if you know already! Thank you!)

[@JohnnyFootwrinkle]

calichef1962 Hey thanks, I've just double checked and it's actually 147 now, post corrected :) No idea who the next Who will be but damn those cybermen used to creep me out when I was a kid!

[@dark_memer42]

Technically you don't have to pay your TV license fee. Whether i have a TV or not, that doesn't stipulate what i use my television for. I am certainly not interested in the BBC's fake news, nor did i request for their radio waves to be transmitted through my locality.

[@HappyQuailsLC]

Aten Ra Is it that same way with rte in Ireland?

[@ronaldturnbull429]

new DR Who season started last week here in the uk the 2nd season of the new DR

[@pjmoran42]

Good to know that there are people like you in the world. Thanks!

[@jagmarz]

d=rt; so t=d/r t = d/(r+x) + d/(r-x); x is the difference from nominal speed r t = d((r-x)+(r+x))/((r+x)(r-x)), which simplifies to t = 2dr/(r^2-x^2), so any difference (x>0) results in longer total travel time.

[@blancolirio]

Yes!

[@markworthington1895]

jagmarz nice, reminds me of Sheldon Cooper on BBT

[@sorensolveig599]

jagmarz: Love the math!!! However, check your simplification again! How about t=2dr/(r^2-x^2)? However, same conclusion.

[@jagmarz]

Oops! Typo! Thanks @Soren

[@sorensolveig599]

Gord Baker: Haha!

[@BarryAllen-hm1op]

I'm glad I found your channel. It's really informative way beyond the Oroville issue I came to you by. Thank you for great work!

[@desertdenizen6428]

You need a hobby! Not much going on in your life :)

[@themerrigans2734]

DesertDenizen you are shitting me, right.

[@desertdenizen6428]

fran merrigan - Good catch, that would have slipped by most people!

[@nezbrun872]

Looks like you were staying at the Holiday Inn Forum hotel near Gloucester Road: at the time you videoed this I lived on the same street as that hotel, I'm now a mile or so away. A lot of airline crews stay in that hotel, and one or two others in the immediate area. Always good to see what visitors think of my city, and what they go and see: I always learn something new, even though I've lived here 30 years! FWIW, I'm a mid life crisis SEP PPL holder based at Fairoaks, EGTF, just inside the London CTR.

[@jharbo1]

Thanks for taking us to London with you! I am always amazed when we take off, and it has never become a mundane experience. Love flying; love airplanes.

[@waynemagin2554]

Thank You so very much for letting us see the job you get to do every day. You are very good at this, when you retire please consider doing more. You have an objective viewpoint, that somehow is lost on so many of us today. Thank You once more. Be Safe. Smile...

[@chrismayhew4531]

Thanks Juan, that was a great vid to watch today - which is ANZAC day here in New Zealand (I guess the equivalent to veterans day in the USA) as my father flew in Bomber Command during WW2 so I obviously appreciated those related clips. I also have a cousin who flies 777's for Air NZ so the landing gear clips were of interest too! Great job all round and keep up the good work!

[@yupyup1562]

Loved this video. Loved seeing and hearing about the 777 wheel trucks, flight paths, winds, fuel mileage calculations, all so interesting. And seeing parts of London, that was really nice. Super job. Thank you.

[@Dstew57A]

Absolutely loved this..want more... loved you sharing some of the sights of London and providing education on the flight. When Big Ben was ringing, I had images of a dark misty, foggy night in a back alley with an Oliver Twist like character walking down the narrow alleyway in the heart of 1800s London....thanks Juan.

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

So happy you called it the Big Ben tower, so many people get confused thinking it's the clock, Big Ben is the bell (no not bell end! LOL) inside the tower. Great blog Juan 🏆👍🏼😉

[@jonathanearl2748]

A year and a half-ish later, I still find your content mesmerizing, informative, and just plain (or is that plane?) awesome! One of, if not THE, best channels on KZbin. Keep up the awesome work Juan, love what you do and how you do it!

[@sapanavarani9747]

You explain everything so nicely Captain. Just love your content!!! God Bless & Stay Safe.

[@503challenger]

Is he a f/o or a captain?

[@3RTracing]

Well I ran a blog called WIngnutz for years. It was frequented by pilots and aviation buffs from all over the world. I thoroughly appreciate and enjoy your posts Juan. I especially like the engineering and technology components of your content. All very well stated and interesting. This particular video though, of London is a real treat, and the sociological and historical snap shot is well worth the time to watch. I lived a few miles from the Boeing HQ when is was still in South Seattle for over 60 some odd years, and was a frequent visitor to the Everett plant all during the first 47 build and watched the first ever flight. If you ever get to Seattle they have one of the best Museums of Flight, and the restoration facility at Payne Field is a worthy adventure too. Look me up, I'll be your tour guide. Thanks.

[@shellykennedy5427]

[@keithshoffner1287]

wow, amazing and as usual an impeccable choice for soundtrack..... never heard that unplugged, felt alot heavier as far as how it made me feel while listening. That album came out I was about 11 and I used to plug in my dad's "super hi fi" headphones and just chill listening to it over and over. Impeccable JB, thank you for sharing.

[@jhanson1013]

Thank YOU for sharing ... Someday I will get away from my home and visit at least one or two of the places you give a wee tour of.. and I will spend a grunch of time seeing all the sights I can possibly see in the amount of time and resources I have at my disposal. South America, Europe.. I will get brave and see at least a little bit more of the world. Thank you again.

[@rockslide4802]

Wonderful walkabout of London, enjoyed the quiet scenes and of course your taking us through the routes you flew from LAX > LHR. Funny to see you in the 777-200 tonight after watching your 22 Feb 21 updates on the UAL 328 Denver - Pratt & Whitney engine failure. And now you're back in London on the 777-300. Hope you have a nicer stay in London than in Sydney under COVID quarantine. I happily support your Patreon channel and encourage others to do the same.

As a history buff and fellow California resident, I got a chance about 18 months ago to visit London and must say it is a terrific city. Wish I had more time there. I did however get to tour the Churchill War Rooms. As a WWII aficionado, I can't recommend it enough.

Juan, I've been following your Oroville updates (from Thailand) and had wondered what sort of day job might permit you to commit the amount of time you have devoted to the admirable cause. Now "All ist Klar, herr Kommiczar"! Enjoyed your walk around the 777 and especially the note on the "largest machined piece of Titanium" on the landing gear. That calm clear voice of yours no doubt cultivated from your many "This is your captain speaking" addresses to your passengers. Musically, beautiful acoustic "Good Bye Blue Sky" during your London walkabout. Being an oil & gas gypsy, with many British mates, I knew that "Bell end" comment would be seized upon, however as a 3rd generation pipe fitter by birth, your statement was 100% correct. Carry on!

Thanks for the tour of London. This is the closest I will ever get to that town.
