Pilot Scared of Heights

[@medicalopsgirl]

Seeing Kelsey walk upon the ground he usually flies over in jeans and a baseball cap, enjoying himself, is a new and beautiful energy. Love it!

[@Denpachii]

I was impressed. I didn't know Kelsey had legs, as he is always sitting down.

[@medicalopsgirl]

@@Denpachii He is stepping into a new chapter, and it looks good. Not a uniform in sight. Whatever is good for his soul is what's right.

[@FreezeFather]

Till today i didnt even know he has a body below the chest ;)

[@jerryweirdspeed]

Funny seeing him step into the cable car and ask how it falls like a passenger on a plane asking if the wings might clip off. Good observation about the legs, too!

[@arliesam948]

I agree

[@PsRohrbaugh]

This video was really fun! Thank you for bringing us along. Please don't feel pressured by KZbin, and share what you want when it feels right. Have a great new year!

[@Zealotus_NWE]

I second this! This was a very relaxing video to watch. I wish for more like this (whenever you feel like it)! And, as you say, keep the blue side up! ; )

[@Tachychick]

I didn’t even know you can give him money!

[@74gear]

Thanks Paul... well the video tomorrow coincidentally is me flying to Quito and I end up in the same hotel room. Glad you enjoy the vlog!

Don't worry about doing airplane videos or travel videos. Just do what you want to do. Your energy when you're happy and engaged is what's entertaining.

[@BethanyAitch]

Kelsey’s heart is happy here. It’s so good to see. ❤ Also, high five for Vanessa’s mom energy. We all need a Vanessa in our lives.

[@jonslg240]

I love his new format. But I think he should still do aviation videos, but only every once in a LONG while, when something truly truly interesting happens. I'd be happy with videos like this however often he wants to post them, plus just one aviation video every few months.

[@GodBlessUSA]

I saw your mid-life crisis video, and now I saw this. I think you did a good job and you look happier. Go ahead Kelsey and make the videos that cheer your soul and not what the viewers demand. Be happy. You made very professional videos about aviation and sowed a lot in others. Now we will support you at this stage helping you to be happy.

[@VladRadu-tq1pg]

this guy ain t even middle aged, he s like 37(shockingly)

[@joelmacdonald6994]

I remember that video well, and I remember the vulnerability he showed us. I was very happy for him to admit that, and am happy now to see him exploring this style. I personally prefer the aviation videos, and while this blog style is not what I would watch every day, I do enjoy it from time to time. I could see him finding a balance of the two. Focusing on aviation as a career and a KZbinr would absolutely suck the joy out of it. I want to see the classic style more, but if he doesn’t return to it, and becomes a vlogger, i will always be appreciative of the content he created in the past, the content I wanted to see all the time. Kels’s personal happiness is far more important than my entertainment. He won’t lose a fan, even if I stop watching - kind of like a band you once liked, but they changed direction; you still respect them, even if you don’t keep up on it. I hope to see Kelsey keep doing the stuff that got me hooked, but it’s ok if he doesn’t.

[@michelebegg5073]

Love the new style of videos. It was a treat to see the beautiful sights in this country. Thank you for taking the time to take us along.

[@timothyrowland2050]

Ecuador is a beautiful country. I 've spent some time traveling in South America, and there are so many beautiful locations on that continent.

[@T1gernugget]

The editing and style of this video is incredible! Keep up good work!

[@GamingTrivia1113]

That’s what I said 5 seconds in

[@Auditas]

Did he hire a new editor?

[@T1gernugget]

@@Auditas I’m pretty sure

[@SBCBears]

Au contraire. Unwatchable. 1/2 second edits. Warn epileptics. Unsuitable for anyone with a normal attention span. Sensory stimulation elicits excitement, but impairs comprehension.

[@buck_swope]

@@SBCBears It's Scorsese-esque, pleb.

This was a breath of fresh air Kelsey. Absolutely brilliant. Can't wait to see more.

As an aviation enthusiasts that follows your content, I came for the 747, but stayed for the entire travel vlog. Great job and keep it up!

[@jennic2251]

Love the pace, the music, the energy and the fact that you look happier. Nicely done The city is beautiful and lol that like others of us in aviation you think of ETA even in a car! I hope you had as much fun as it seemed you did!

[@joecolvin4203]

Omg, I have never seen Kelsey full of smiles! He totally enjoyed it and I totally loved and enjoyed that he took us along with him. He got in a little bit of a hike in and shared the views, wonderful. Keep the blue side up!

[@markt538]

Thanks Kelsey. Love the new content! It’s not viral debrief but a close 2nd! Be well.

Good to see what you sometimes do outside the flight deck when you fly to some destinations. Much appreciated Kelsey and great job as always.

[@rbhoward9123]

This video was a reminder of my 2 trips to Venezuela 88' & 89' they have a teleferico in Caracas I rode. So similar! We watched the world cup while we were there. Thanks Kelsey for this video!

[@paulazemeckis7835]

And the new content is fascinating. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. It's creative and fun to watch. I am having fun. ❤️

[@mediamaker]

This was one of the best ones I have seen - interesting, entertaining, and informative. Perfect! Very enjoyable.

[@debrabaker1009]

Kelsey, this was a great video. Oh my gosh what a beautiful place. I never thought of Ecuador as a tourist area. Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@jtnelson89]

Hi Kelsey, this is a dose of nostalgia for me, having spent nearly two years in Ecuador in the late Nineties. Downtown Quito is at about 9300 feet elevation, and as a young man I got used to it pretty quickly but my lungs never could match the locals when it came to climbing endurance. I remember huffing and puffing my way up a hill and being passed by spry 70-year-olds.

[@davidhood6967]

I hope shooting and editing this video was fun for you, as fun as all the activities in the video seemed to be. It was certainly fun for me to watch. Stay safe and thank you so much for sharing your travels with me and everyone else.

I really loved this. Some real "see the world" type of stuff. This is what those of us who are too deaf (or otherwise unable) to be a commercial pilot really dream of. Thanks for letting us experience it with you.

Hey Kelsey, I like the way you filmed yourself with the wide angle while walking. I typically don’t like watching videos where people are walking or hiking because they are usually filmed so close to the person that all you can see is their face as they bounce along. The wide angle REALLY helps with being able to share the perspective and awesome views. Quite enjoyable - Thanks!

This was a funny episode. Having spent quite a bit of time in Latin America you captured it ! The traffic, the soccer, the snippets of beauty interwoven inside urban sprawl, the “what the heck?” when you see something sketchy. Great video. (The combi-style microbus brought a smile to my face!)

[@fuzzelf]

Cool, I'm the 747th commenter! Air Force Aircraft Electrical and Environmental Maintenance here... I forgot how spoiled commercial aircraft are about cabin pressures. Many military aircraft only have cabin differential pressures of 5 PSI, so you could be at 12,000 foot cabin pressure at cruse altitude. No wander you are gasping for air at 12,000 feet. Great video! EDIT: Just looked it up, at FL 300 cabin altitude would be 12,000 ft

[@TheWolvesinthewoods]

Holy cow! I live in Ecuador on the coast. I'm what you would call a digital nomad. Been here for 8 years. Haven't looked back from living in the states for so long. Love the new video. Been a fan for a couple years. Like the new format. Although I'm a pilot, planes get boring.

[@kevinferrell6466]

Outstanding. This was the first travel video from seventy-four crew that I have watched. I hope you keep flying various routes, allowing you to continually explore and post these videos. They are very professional, by the way. Lastly, places like Quito have so much going on you can literally post a hundred videos and not cover the same thing twice. My brother is down there right now. If he was a seven four pilot I would send them your way.

Hey man, I’m terribly glad you are changing up your content, rather then shutting down your “74 Gear” channel. I am a Bombardier Global 7500 business class jet captain, and it is the people like you who pilots the queen of the sky’s that I really look up to. I’ve always enjoyed your content, the humor, and I alway enjoy aviation related stories. Me, as a long range business class captain, I can relate to the content like this, because me, and my crew can be laid over for sometimes weeks in places like this, and we’re always looking to enjoying ourselves within that layover time. As we know that lifestyle isn’t for everyone, but it is for us, at least it is at the moment. So I am going to enjoy this kinda content as well as your other nearly 1 million subscribers, and maybe add things to the bucket list, after watching you do fun and interesting things.
