Today I took a quick flight over Coachella to take some aerial photos of our banners in tow. Also we learn about how a banner is set up for tow and have some fun with the ground support crew.

I have been struggling to figure out what i want to make a career of, until i came across your 'How To Become An Aircraft Mechanic' video. Thanks to that video (and your whole channel), I will soon be enrolling in the course to earn my A&P, and put my mechanical inclination to good use. James, you have truly made an impact on my life, and for the first time in my life, I am excited about my future. Keep up the great work! And thank you sincerely.

@@kx7zz I never pursued it; I enrolled in a Residential Electrical Course instead, and began an entirely new job just before I could finish and become an apprentice. Damn, I didn't realize how long it has been since all that until your response... This channel has some great content, and it did inspire me at one point, though my priorities have changed. But I am really happy for you; for taking this step toward an awesome goal and career. Many blessings to you!

Do you think being an aircraft mechanic makes you a better pilot since you understand more of the systems?
@JamesSullivans
@JamesSullivans 7 жыл бұрын
It certainly doesnt hurt. I think all pilots should be as familiar as they can with the systems on the aircraft they operate. It really helps with decision making when failures occur.

These two are great. I bet Christian could rock the Blue Steel model pose. Also I love how the prop makes waves across the windscreen just after takeoff around 3:50 & 4:35 4:51 "fun"? what else could that mumble be? That was dad joke worthy James...no monkeying around with this plane? grow up Love the song you picked for the flight Nice banana 10:14 go ahead and slam a carbon footprint on this runway real quick says the pilot Great video James, hope to see more from your new camera with less clicking and that dank humanoid focus

I was the fastest KingAir cleaner I ever heard of back in 1986 at 16 years old before internet sharing was invented. I don't think your even allowed to hire someone that young anymore. By 17 I was chief lineman at the airport. Now at almost 50, and a lot of wasted time working in the construction industry, I'm going for my A&P threw minimum OTJ time to take the test. Three years from this coming Wednesday, I hope to be taking the test.

You mean around 5:10? Silly me I thought it was somebody working in the background .... not bad but because all the natural outdoor noise but it would be annoying in a quiet environment like explaining something inside an airplane. May I recommend a mic muff for the wind.... otherwise excellent video quality, and enough detail to catch the tow rope !
@JamesSullivans
@JamesSullivans 7 жыл бұрын
I used a mic muff on this video. That's prolly as good as it's getting unless I get an external mic but this camera doesn't allow for it. I could always try a lavaliere mic but seems like a hassle. Glad the quality difference was recognizable.
