Twin engines under the belly....F 22's! Thanks for the airshow! Was in LV Monday to see my son! Peace and safe travels!

[@365redeye]

Thanks for the ride Mike ,that was my first time entering Vegas from that direction much APPRECIATE keep it safe bud.

[@anne-marieolka1782]

great to see you driving down Nellis Blvd. My sister and I drive up and down it a lot. You go down Craig to my nephew's house in North Las Vegas. He's retired USAF now 2 years. Was stationed at Creech AFB his last duty station. I'm enjoying watching you drive Vegas runs. Been up and down I-5 N many times going to Valley of Fire. Up Mt. Charleston several times via Lee Canyon or Kyle Canyon. It's a beautiful drive. First time there is snow on the Mountain my sister makes a BlackBerry Cobbler, a tradition she started when she was living in Tennessee where we were born and raised. Her son moved her out there so he could help her when she needed things done. She has been there 4years now and still hates it. Tried to get her to move down here with me in FL. but she "hated palm trees and sand" . First time I drove out to see her I told her I sure was glad she moved where there were NO PALM TREES OR SAND! Keep those wheels turning and the videos recording. You are a delight to listen to in your commentary...love it. Thank You

[@tazmod7272]

Dad was in the Navy. He started flying prop and retired flying jets. One time he flew from Key West to Michigan in a jet. He landed it at a small airport. As a kid I got to ride in it when he had to park it. He did a fly over when he left.

[@millvee1005]

Your videos are always nice and crispy clear.

[@anne-marieolka1782]

When they are taking off in the a.m. they always go out in pairs, first one then the other then a space then two more for 8 sets. When they come back in the evening same routine...pairs. My sister and I sit on her porch and watch them go out and come back. When the Thunderbirds are in practicing for their air show routines we go sit where you were watching and watch them do their whole routine. When our flyboys are doing Red Flag competitions we go watch them take off and come in. That is really interesting to see the jets from all different nations. If you get bored google Red Flag Competitions...they are twice a year. Safe travels.

[@paulnewkirk7351]

Have you ever been frozen to the ground? It happened to me once. Thats all I needed to learn from. When stopping for lunch or nap and parking, sit for just a couple of minutes so your tires cool down and then pull forward out of the grooves the warm tires melted and created and then set your brakes. That also helps in the melting snow that collects around the brake shoes. You give it time to melt and then in pulling forward you allow the moisture that has collected between the shoes and drums can dry. I always carried a 3 lb hammer for when the drums and shoes froze together.

[@mikesworld2019au]

great video stay safe out there friend i love ridding shotgun seeing the country thank you

[@wernerdanler2742]

Those planes all have to turn 180 off the southwest end of their runway to avoid McCarran air space which is only about 10 miles south. So they all come over my house. Some days I can't hear myself think. When the B52s and the B1s go over they shake the house. Gets old after a while. I'm amazed by the comments how many people here watch your videos. You're an honorary citizen of Las Vegas now. Peace out!

[@oldthudman]

The base you see just on the northern end of Nellis (Veteran USAF Nellis AFB 62-65) is the old US Navy munitions base now Nellis II...Still a munitions base but some years ago the Bureau of Federal Prisons added units....Don't know if the prisons still used or not...…...As said F-22's have two engines and F-35's have one, but you are right otherwise they looks alike.

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Thanks Claud. Now I have a quick idea to know which plane I'm looking at.. ☮️

[@mykemcc1]

Nice video, I live a few miles away and get daily airshows. F-16, at 31:00 and 31:07. The rest were F-22s.

[@oldlady6229]

Nice when you start up your morning looking at mountains. Funny, my cat, Cindy, was up on your dashboard when that other Quality Driver was pulling out. She was watching the traffic for you. Then she hopped down to her resting box (box for copier paper) on the floor and watched the F whatever jets. She knows those as she sees them here coming in and out of Travis (not very often, and when you do see them it is not always a good thing....fine when it is the air show). I learned some years ago that a childhood classmate was a pilot. This year I talked to his aunt and she told me he flew for United to China. In the Air Force he flew the F whatever at that time. She told me he did the air shows at Travis. Now it would be nice if he had a KZbin of that.

12/8/21. "Communication is the key" you don't say. I do believe this guy named Juan said it best with "Let's have a conversation". Having a conversation over a nice cup of pipping hot black coffee is always nice.

[@christinearmstrong852]

Hey Mike..impressive air show..loved the sound of the jets as they flew by..thank you..safe travel..☮ Peace ✌

[@charlesc.parker1164]

I could sit there all day watching them.

I was guessing you started the day at the Indian truck that has that big warehouse room full of fire works. Maybe about an hour north of Las Vegas. I've stopped there a couple of times.

[@davidhorne2326]

Thanks for filming the jets! I can’t imagine the rush you would get flying one. F15’s fly over the house every once in a while here in Va. They are usually at low altitude. Safe travels!

[@redmesa2975]

Last year, I often delivered sheetrock to Layton Utah. Next door to Hill Air Force base. Home to a F-22 Squadron. Got to see then often. The thundering sound of freedom ! I live in the Rifle area, haul fuel from Denver every night. Pays decent,but boaring as heck, same runs every night. Miss running OTR.

[@jfv65]

Just this week we had a big excersize of a F16 squadron at the airport were i live. I think they look better then the F35's that we are supposed to get in the coming years.

[@jburritt426]

That is the roughest bit of highway between Rifle and Grand Junction. It is a good drive anyway. Good to see the road is clear.

[@DawnStr8]

That strip of road seems like a perfect drag strip after dark. Lol

Never backin from the blind side when you could just turn around!

Listen to The children of The Skies; WHAT music they make!! It would have been fun, to see some tanks, APC's, Half-Tracks, Recoiless Rifles, Howitzers, listen to those puppies, and their loud barks.

[@jameshicks4944]

What happened to actually getting out of the truck in Vegas for a nice meal and some exercise.

[@RustyTruckandCrazyDuck1958]

Nice riding with you, it was my first trip with you ! Enjoyed watching the fighter jets take off and circle around ! If you could move the camera back a little so we could see the dash would be great. Or even a little to one side so, the viewer could see out of at least one mirror all the time. I've made a bunch of videos with American Truck Simulator driving in the same locations as you're in there. I'll Subscribe and check out a few more rides with you. keep up the good safe driving ! By the way, watch out for those guys that has their heads covered, with back packs everywhere !

[@garyraines7511]

Parachute, Colorado....I was a skydiver in Lubbock back 1.5 Million years ago, when you were not prohibited from buying Military surplus chutes. My whole rig-----harness, Chute, backpack, And Emergency Belly Pack, cost $$75...….Backpack and Harness were from Nellis AFB. gl

[@swithinbarclay4797]

Can you perhaps please give me a sample of other gear that you're now banned from purchasing, that used to come in handy, for day-to-day living, and other hobbies, besides skydiving?

[@garyraines7511]

@@swithinbarclay4797 Nein, sorry but there must be something out there--with the MIL jump gear, all the rigging, basic designs were great...the current X-Gen (book-end gen for Gen-X--there ARE no Millenials or gen Zeds) Rig was designed by some drunken Frogs who probably had a bet on how they could run a major con on X-Gen skydivers....the Rigs they jump, and pay vast amounts of $$ for, are idiotic...some brilliant capitalist needs to go RETRO in a big way and manufacture old-line ParaCommanders and Jump Rigs. gl

You crack me up Mike! Because you are so good at talking while on video with little or no pauses but tell me this, do you now do it when you are alone and not filming? I bet you do.

Why are downhill grades valued in percentages and not degrees?

[@ridingshotgun1251]

Good question.. not sure why..

[@swithinbarclay4797]

@@ridingshotgun1251 : It is definitely easier to track your math, when doing it in Percents. On a hypothetical Eight-Percent grade, for every 100 Feet of forward travel on that down-/up-grade, you'll be descending/ascending 8 Feet. Otherwise, with Degrees, you may have to use the more complicated forms of mathematics, such as Algebra, or Calculus. A long time ago, I was able to do Algebra, but I've lost the touch, and it's now actually more time consuming, to reconstruct all of the old equations.

[@swithinbarclay4797]

@@ridingshotgun1251 : Another good thing to remember, is that 100 Percent, is roughly the same as 45 Degrees. That sort of pitch, is extremely difficult, to impossible, for you to walk and-or remain standing. Gravity is very unkind to you, at this pitch.

"Spider" said, "Your load's closin' up my sinuses real bad." Then "Rubber Duck" (Kris Kristoffersen) said, "He's SURE not haulin' no go-go girls!" That movie had many priceless moments.

That road is heading the direction of Valley of fire but only gets you to I15 junction or keep following to 93 north. He would have to turn right onto 15 north and take that another 30 miles to exit 75 for Valley of Fire.
