People are hungry for a no nonsense cool corporate content. I enjoy watching anyone that masters their craft. Like any job you want to excel at learn all aspects inside and out and be the Swiss Army knife people can call that can handle anything and speak with experience and knowledge and to have that and still be young enough to enjoy the good life it can bring at your age is an accomplishment. Keep up the good work and content man. The sky is the limit right? Heh. Safe travels and thanks for putting out cool videos. Cars and Aviation are my two favorites so I’m always checking out your new content. I appreciate you keeping it fresh and real. Keep up the good work! Edit: If I could offer one suggestion on your POV cam if possible, its pretty high up in the cockpit and a good of the left map light. Even if the map light could be rotated out of the way It’d help some. I for one enjoy watching the landing approach, seeing the runway from a distance, watching the PAPI with the pilot and enjoy seeing these stellar butter landings. It’s cool to be able to see all of that instead of the map light. Just a thought. Thank you for the POV cam and trying something new!

[@FlyingFrozo]

Quick tip on the CRT displays flickering in the video. It's a bit of work, but, take each clip in your timeline in your editing software and put one above the other (so they are both displaying on the screen at the same time). Offset the top video by ONE frame, then set the opacity of both clips to 50%. The flicker should then disappear. The one frame offset should show the whole screen all the time, instead of flickering. I used to work on a couple short films in college and we did this all the time to stop flickering of Fluorescent lights in our shots. Again, it s a lot of tedious work in editing, especially with a lot of clips. but it works. BTW, I'm currently a commercial Cirrus SR22 pilot. Not as cool as the Gulfstreams, but at least it's a job! Congrats on the 30k!

[@gear_down]

Sounds like a lot of work lol

[@gear_down]

Also congrats on the job! You’ll be in the the flight levels with me sooner than you know it! Cheers and thanks for the tip!

Becareful what you say.The FAA is listening, HI IM FROM THE FAA AND IM HERE TO HELP YOU. Did you write up the inop light bulb before you took off?

[@gear_down]

Lmao there’s no requirement for than. Also I’m an A&P I/A I can MEL any item that is MEL’able and return A/C to service. I do not film anything maintenance or logbook related on the gulfstream. Good looking out bud. Nice try, but try again.

[@gezac440]

Your missing the point. Its happened to me and other. Just by being aware as PIC you have to make a log entry, and the MEL it. According to the feds, you are accepting an aircraft with a known decect that has no referance anywhere, except in you head. That will not fly. FYI ATP A&P CFII AGI Types in 5 aicrafts, glider and seaplane. 30K plus hours, so big deal.@@gear_down

[@alphatube7443]

Great video might be a good idea to wear the go pro around your chest for a better cockpit view for us viewers but might make editing tedious because the head mounted go pro is nice for overhead panel so could be a bit tricky and time consuming to edit footage between both angles ….

[@gear_down]

You wouldn’t see out the window at all if I did that

[@alphatube7443]

Ohhh i understand what you mean not sure how some of the others do it but they seem to have a pretty good POV which allows better view of the cockpit I’ll look into it and see if there’s any options!

[@gear_down]

@alphatube7443 they fly smaller planes with smaller panels. The gulfstream cockpit windows are not conducive to pov style video unfortunately

[@alphatube7443]

Ohh that makes sense, only thing could be giving it a slight angle if the mount allows.either way just found out the channel and subscribed keep up the great videos!!! These longer style vidoes are really nice definitely will be on the lookout for more content
