I saw my 3rd grade teacher in shorts at the school picnic. That was my first experience in seeing severe varicose veins. From then on, it was hard for me to view her in the same light I had before. She was a great teacher though, and to this day, it saddens me that I had that reaction. She passed away about 10 years ago, and I wish I would have tried harder to look her up and visit her after her retirement.

For anyone wondering those planes with "BETA" on them are from BETA Cargo (Brazilian Express Transportes Aéreos), founded in 1990 had a total of 5 planes, one Boeing 707-320C and 4 Douglas DC-8-73CF, they ceased operations in July of 2012 after there license was revoked. Looks like right there are 2 of the DC-8 and the 1 707. Since both type of planes were already over 10 years out of production when Beta was founded in 1990 they propably found no one to sell them to and they have been sitting on that airfield for 11 years now. The Green MAP planes belong to "MAP Linhas Aéreas", still active currently operates 5 ATRs of various types. These 2 there are missing the props and landing gear, so i am assuming they are used for spare parts.

My tip for never leaving anything behind in a hotel room: I always get a room with two beds. I sleep on the bed that's closest to the window and put my stuff on the bed that's closest to the door. I NEVER put anything closer to the window than where I'm sleeping-that way my stuff is always in front of me. Once the "stuff" bed is clear then I know that I have all my stuff. It's never failed me.

My father was an Air Traffic Controller in the Royal Air Force for over thirty years. I occasionally use to go to work with him at night when I was in my teens when we lived in Malta. Dad was a Flight Sergeant in those days and I can remember another much younger commissioned officer controller arriving shortly after us. My father's first words were "It's your turn to make the tea sir". I overheard some grumblings to the tune of "It's always my turn" as the young officer commenced to make the tea.

I used to be a aircraft mechanic on the 747F, and if the coffee maker didn't work, the plane didn't take off till it was fixed. Needless to say we kept a lot of spare coffee makers. And FYI when you pour coffee down the sink it drains overboard, which is why a lot of planes will have brown streaks underneath. 😃🇦🇺

Tip from a flight attendant: to make your coffee much much much stronger ( for your coworkers ) , we usually do not place two filters inside the coffee " drawer ". When we lower the handle , it has a tendency sometimes to puncture the coffee filters, hence having coffee grounds all over . Instead, what we do , just brew your coffee with one regular filter, then INSERT INSIDE THE COFFEE POT, another filter. That's how we make our Java strong to last during our " circadian lows" or super early wake-up. ⏰️ Love your videos my friend! 😍😉

The Quito airport is downright FANCY compared to how it looked 20+ years ago when I was last there...any sort of duty-free at all is a major step up! I lived there off and on from 1994-2001 and watching planes land in that high, narrow valley was always entertaining. My first home was on the valley floor just a couple of miles south of the runway--I could look up while doing laundry on my roof and see the rivets on the bellies of the planes.

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! So many non pilots like me had no idea that piloting would be that intense and involved. I also think cargo would be tougher than passengers with all the safety checks they gotta worry about etc. i recently saw a plane go down because of fire, it must be a little worrying at times. but that view would be something. you get to see the world and thats cool! keep up the great work Kelsey!

All the safety checks you make, and all the pre-flight checking you do -- I noticed the Wed Runway notice! Also, love your sense of humor. Here's hoping you did get to catch up on your sleep!

@@chemistrykrang8065 That cracked me up hahaha. Though I never understood how people are making such a fuss about the rinsing water used to flush away burnt residue... After all, that's what coffee is: they had a bean that wasn't eatable, so they tried a bunch of things to maybe make it consumable. And after the zillionth fail they tried to wash off the residue from the oven plates with water. They decided "screw it, it's never going to get better than this nasty crap, so we'll tell the white man it was on purpose and sell them our waste". The rest is history. It was a failed attempt at chemical warfare to try and get rid of the colonials... =) So Kelsey did exactly what you're supposed to do with coffee: flush it down the blue tank. ;P I would quit a job if they would make me serve coffee, especially early in the morning... It would make me puke up the food that was already digested and ready for nr.2 hahahaha

The reason you need to lock those doors is due to certification of the aircraft for taxi, takeoff, and landing (TTL). When an aircraft is certified, there is a certain default configuration that some items have to be in (seats, doors, cabinets, etc.) in order for them to behave properly in the event of a crash. Those 'close when not in use' things are placards that are required to be there by the aviation authorities to inform the user of how the item needs to be configured. Seeing as that is a door, it also probably has to be locked when not in use for blowout load strength in case of a sudden depressurization event. It probably would not pass the stress analysis for a depressurization event, and those deadbolts are there to keep the door affixed to the monument so it doesn't become a projectile and decapitate somebody.
