[@markgoecke2323]

Really enjoying your videos. I am a retired Shift Manager/licensed Senior Reactor Operator in a nuclear power plant. Your explanations of various systems, and the complexity (or simplicity) of various system designs is great.The average passenger does not care for what goes into their flight, but only are concerned about what they will get to eat or what the movies are on the planes. I, on the other hand, devour each of your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much Mark and I 100% agree with how you see aircraft, I do the same thing. We can all agree that aircraft are beautiful but in my mind, it extends beyond the aesthetics, in my mind it transcends into the engineering aspect and how it work. Why it work and how I fix it. When I say “marvel of Engineering” I mean exactly that. Absolutely incredible

[@StigAviation]

@@AlexM2299 Michelin is not the only tire manufacturer that has aircraft tires, Goodyear and Bridgestone also make aircraft tires. It just depends on which aircraft it’s used on. Majority of airbus tires use Michelin, the 737 likes to use Goodyear, 787 likes to use Bridgestone.

[@Cobalt135]

Always interesting seeing the different industries manufacturers supply to and how they branch out from their roots. Such as 44:50 in the video. You will find a label and be like like wow, didn't know they were in aerospace. Liebherr was primarily known for making heavy equipment for construction. Earth moving and digging equipment, and large construction cranes like tower cranes are their primary business. Branched out to produce air conditioning packs, pack and bleed air monitors as shown here, A350XWB nose landing gear, 777X moveable wingtip components, etc.

When the nose wheel gets locked out from the tiller inside for pushback how does it realign the nose gear and tiller when the lockout pin is removed? I know that when push back is done the noise wheel can't be exactly back where it was. This is just something that I've always wondered.

I have thousands of hours flying Boeing(737-400/500) and Airbus(A320/321 and A330) and when i came off the 737 i never thought id like Airbus but now id never go back. They're a much more modern aircraft with a way bigger cockpit,the comfort of no control column and the luxury of a tray table to work and eat on!

[@StigAviation]

It’s a very lovely aircraft for maintenance as well. Very user friendly and less cluttered when it comes to troubleshooting issues.

[@Mark-oj8wj]

@StigAviation So reliable as well.I can remember many delays and cancellations when I flew the 737 but the Airbus is ultra reliable.And once you get the hang of flying it,it's a great airplane to land in heavy wind. Keep up the great work,I love your enthusiasm!

[@kbell6888]

I know that we are getting an abbreviated view of what you do, and I am loving it. Question... I know that each plane is different, but how long do you actually work on each plane.

[@StigAviation]

Depending on how much ground time the aircraft has, most aircraft that come in on a turnaround have at least 45 minutes to an hour, that’s my timetable to do my inspection and walk around

Many thanks. More adventures to come

[@zk9058]

All that time, effort and paperwork because the FO was lazy about moving the thrust levers into the idle detent position! I just found your channel….and love it! Subscribed within seconds. You do an amazing job explaining the maintenance side of commercial aviation. And you have a great attitude and sense of humor in doing so! Keep up the great work.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind words. It’s a pleasure to have you here.

3 weeks ago, I came across one of your videos and watched it for the first time. Just a few minutes into it, I was completely hooked. Now, every chance I get to watch your videos, I watch! I'm in aviation, both commercial (ramp agent) and corporate, and it's my passion. Thanks for what you're doing, and thanks for sharing your day with us. It's easy to see the care you put into your work, and thanks for being a great individual.

Thank you so much for being here and coming with me on these adventures David. I appreciate you. Stay safe out there on the ramp 🤙

[@francisparoz1302]

Thanks Stig! Nice and informative, like always. love your channel! The world needs definitely more people like you, so kind and humble! 😊

[@StigAviation]

Once again I’m humbled by your kind words. I appreciate you

28:10 talking about hydrophobic material coating or fluid works wonders on a car windshield...great invention for safety on the road.

[@StigAviation]

Indeed it is. 👌

[@armyavi8tor]

Love it! Good to see your perspective on things from your MIA 737 CA palm tree pilot! Flew the airbus previously and interesting to see how that common clogged drain got taken care of. Hope to see more!

[@StigAviation]

It’s a pleasure to have you here Captain. Got plenty of videos to keep you entertained till the next adventure

[@flyingnut3752]

Thank you for doing this, it is entertaining to watch you enjoy and share what you do. It is also interesting to see all the different parts of the aircraft and learn what it does.

[@StigAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it and it give you a deeper appreciation for aircraft

[@F1fanatic21]

Love your videos man, they keep me entertained the entire time, which says a lot. I'm studying mechanical engineering so it's really cool to see how these aircraft that are designed in offices actually operate in the real world, and also how they are to work on. These things wouldn't fly without you guys, and they especially wouldn't be as safe without you guys. Appreciate the videos!

[@StigAviation]

My biggest, thank you to you for recognizing that, most people don’t ever say that. But I’m glad you understand it. Thank you for being here.

[@fly4fun]

11:30 well said! They both have pluses and minuses. I too have never met an airplane I didn’t like.

[@StigAviation]

Same here 👌. They are all beautiful in my eyes

[@junktionfet]

Just found this channel and this video was like therapy. I love this stuff, thank you for sharing this!

[@StigAviation]

Thank you for being here. Glad you are enjoying it

[@limoman23]

Another great video! Love your passion, humor, and expansive knowledge. As an aviation enthusiast i fully enjoy your videos, and as a maintenance manager (in a warehouse facility not aviation) I would be thankful to have someone like your on my team with your work ethic and desire to continue to learn and grow. Keep up the great videos.

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much for those incredible words sir. I’m honored.

[@Catayst-123]

And A Great Big Thanks for Your Expertise. You have A Extremely Important Job. 👍

[@StigAviation]

Big thanks

[@daanhansen1624]

Ive been studying for 3 years now and I just discovered ur channel, this is my future and you make me very excited for it!

[@StigAviation]

I am very happy that this is helpful. Thank you for watching.

[@antonyall]

For one so young, your wisdom shines. Do what makes you happy, enjoy your job and make it a discipline in which you desire to be and ascribe to figuring things out in not only a formal theoretical manner but in a practical form as so many differnet things can happen. You sir, are a fine example of a superb human being. Thank you for your kindness in sharing and for your constant posts on the finest institution in the world, aviation......at least to us airpolane lovers.

[@StigAviation]

I wish I was younger, 25 years of fixing but I’m still in love with aviation.

[@antonyall]

@@StigAviation Please know that your dad must be very proud and so happy that you are part of such a fine profession. He does not have to worry as you amounted to one fine character. Always follow your own advice and despite the management issues that dominate any business, especially aviation, always continue calmly and make your path enjoyable, as you have taught us. Happy trails!

[@Space_Chief]

Thanks for the really cool perspective Stiggy. My dad cleaned planes for Delta while I was growing up until he moved to reservations in a call center. I was too young to remember any of what he showed me on the tarmac, but I started remembering things through parts of your video.

[@StigAviation]

Glad I brought back fond memories.
