Hello Gerry! God bless you (and yours) during your fight and thank you for your sacrifices and service to our great Country! Kindest regards Sir, Shawn

[@frankswain9483]

My best, Gerry, dealing with that cancer thing! Our house wishes the very best for you! I presume you were in Vietnam so thanks for your service, too! We all owe you!

[@foxiedogitchypaws7141]

Garry, first Thank You for all the years you served as well as your family. Keep on fighting as if you are fighting against a enemy, as you are. Your family needs you. Take good care. Foxie Dog and her human.

I just love how all the discourse is so matter of fact. And even when ATC gives a shoutout it's cordial but automatically back to business.

I like how he flies the plane and not the mic.

[@slowneasy5336]

I live in Salt Lake and have been flying for 30 years as a passenger (often weekly) and know this approach by heart. Loved seeing it from the right seat and how ILS and ATC worked together. The approach requires a turn off 180 degrees for final due to the surrounding mountains. Love the channel and the professionalism at your craft. Thanks for your service.

[@kdharley07]

Keep it up Gregg we have missed being your copilot. We love your videos and know running a big company and having family time is priority so thanks for what you do. Us non pilots appreciate that you pilots take the time to make these videos for us.

I love the shout out especially when I'm recording!

[@mikep4821]

Another nice smooth ride Greg, top marks to the SLC controller, super cool, he must be one of the clearest ATC voices around.

[@DustinBray]

The shoutout was fun to hear but like others have said, back to business. It was also nice to see someone so seasoned still make an occasional error (e.g. rwy 16 vs 17) and not beat themselves up about it. I would jump at a chance to do a ride along someday!

[@MrSristenpart]

Another awesome video. Stay safe Craig. Nothing but the best to you and your family.

[@zadrik1337]

When I was a student my instructor coordinated with SLC to do touch-n-go's from about 11 PM to 1 AM. The controllers were more than happy to have someone to talk to at midnight, even a student pilot. It was good to get some bravo experience when there wasn't a lot of other traffic and stress to deal with.

2:52 Ah, sitting on the ground at KAPA at well over a mile high brings back memories in a different lifetime when I flew occasionally out of Centennial. At the time I was working at the ADF on what was then known as the Buckley Air National Guard Base. Now it's Space Force.

[@CAROLUSPRIMA]

This and a few other similar channels are the only true reality shows. I never tire of this channel because as one who isn’t a pilot it’s incredibly educational. As well as entertaining.

I found your channel a week ago and I’ve BingeWatch sense. You do an excellent job and I really enjoy the way your videos show. Appreciate the way you explain all the steps and the process. I’m impressed with the air traffic control and the way things are done up in the air. I’ve only flown once in my life and it was a 1986. Looking out the window, I saw a jet dart by in the opposite direction looking like it was 500 feet away! Scared the daylights out of me. Glad to learn, through your video, a 1000 foot separation is the standard and now I look forward to flying again sometime in the future. Your approach to Salt Lake City was amazing as was your fly over of the Grand Canyon. Also, thanks for your service and I’m sure flying the F-16 must’ve been amazing! Looking forward to the next video. Fly safe!

Since a kid my dad had always brought us to air shows and I fell in love with it when I climbed inside the cockpit of an A-10 @ 11yrs old.
