I was talking to my brother in law over dinner and he mentioned that is getting interested in becoming an airplane mechanic, he is currently an engineer for GE but would like to transition to a new career, I told him about your channel Stig and his eyes lit up, he said you are the reason he wants to be a mechanic. You are an inspiration brother, you love and passion for your job is contagious. Keep up the good work.🎉

The fan blades on the Neos are just gorgeous. The curves of those carbon fiber blades with the titanium edges are a work of art.

Boring? Your videos are super exciting, and it is fun to listen to your comments :)

Flying American in a few days. Knowing that people like you work on these aircraft every day is a nice thing to know

Another Stig video means a great day. Thanks Stig! Have a great week

So the repair on N939AN looks to be most likely some corrosion repair work done during a base check in 2012, I think. The public records and cross referencing structural drawings of the fuselage to determine roughly where this repair area was led me down a whole rabbit trail that lasted into the early AM hours. Thanks for that 😂. Also interestingly enough, this was the bird that got tagged in the rudder by a 777 wingtip, which was under tow in Miami. Thankfully, there was minimal damage to both aircraft.

This is the most excellent aviation channel on KZfaq in my opinion. Don't ever apologize for talking too much, explaining too much, or going into too much detail. I love the explanations. I'm not a pilot but a flight simulator junkie, and so the information you impart is incredibly interesting and satisfying to me. There's a ton of aviation channels out there, including from pilots, but your channel is by far the most informative and easiest to watch. You do a great job. Again, never apologize. Speaking for myself, I'm never bored. Those who are likely just aren't into the amazing engineering and systems of aircraft. I thought I knew quite a bit about plane systems, etc. but I've learned so much from your channel. Thank you. I find it amazing that you're allowed to produce such detailed videos at your job, but am very glad you are.

Stig , ;this is the BEST vlog on You Tube. We never get to see the inner workings of the aircraft...You are doing a great job, please keep it up..Well Done

Much respect for folks that repaired that 737 and sending much love for that wounded bird.

That 777 B.A take- off at sunset was spectacular

AA FA right here Based in LGA 25 Years seniority... Love your videos. Great work !

As a fellow AMT myself Stig I have to say I love your positive attitude man.

33:48 - “MEOW🐱” 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, You’re Too Funny Stig 😭 Love The Humour 🤣🤣🤣

Excellent rapid fire info. I can't get enough! My career was telecom tech support, now retired and a volunteer tour guide at an aviation museum in Reading, Pa. My visitors get about 1 1/2 hrs. of how airplane stuff works. I often tell visitors, "This is my Disney." I bet you'd agree. BTW - I'm trying to place your accent and cadence. Sounds to to me east coast, not Brooklyn, but maybe Staten Island.

Love your videos sir!! Knowing there are people like you who like their job and are damn good at it, makes me feel better about flying. Happy Holidays sir!!!!

Professor Stig has taught me more than I learned in college.

Ah, thats what that barking noise is!!!! I was on an airbus and flew out of PHX to NC for a trip last year and never been on a plane where I heard that and we hit some very VERY turbulant air at take off for the first 30 min or so and that noise started and just kept going and could feel the thump each time it cycled that noise... Wife and I were in the exit row and the attendants seat was right ther and my wife has bad anxiety flying and the attendent saw her and said "dont worry, that noise is completely normal". I normall fly Southwest 99% of the time, so thats why that noise was odd to me, boeing :). Glad to know what that noise is on an airbus now!

Yours is the best and most informative channel on KZfaq. I have learned so much about aircraft. Aren’t we lucky to have you in our lives. From Jeff in England.

I never get tired of your talking and explanations. I am living my dream through you brother! Unfortunately my calling has taken me in a different direction but I love aviation. The commercial aviation is my most loved aspect of aircraft engineering. Thank you for sharing the inside daily scope of this industry. Your enthusiasm and love of what you do is so exciting and admirable. Just knowing there are so many professionals like you taking care of these beautiful aircraft makes me feel so incredibly safe when I fly. I am so excited every flight. Deep respect for you guys and gals!

God bless youtube algorithm that randomly suggested your channel. Absolutely love your content man. Keep it up please!!

I love the videos keep it up I’ll watch them start to finish :D

Another great informative clip. I’ve been watching Boeing issues on KZfaq, seems like they are having their issues. Hopefully a company that’s been around over 100 years can get their problems solved & go on. PS- May I recommend a lid on your coffee? Will keep warmer longer.

“There’s no crying in Aviation!” Classic Tom Hanks quote and very applicable to our industry. 👏🏻

Just found your channel and so glad I did. Excellent videos brother. Happy New Year.

Love these videos. Thanks!

Great videos and thanks again for the landscape format! Your channel is going to get big.

Great video, Stig! Happy 20k subscribers!!

We love you YT videos. Always new information and you got a great vibe!

I could watch these all day! Thanks for taking the time to film these for us Stig.

As an AMT in the U.S AF I gotta say I absolutely love your vlogs. I plan on being an AMT in the civilian world and your uploads definitely inspire me and educate me on what to expect when I transition

Awesome videos Stig, great information about the hidden little things you show and as they say you learn something every day. Thanks and keep the videos coming.

I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

Not only do you give us educational videos, you provide us with life advice, and also entertainment thank you!

Smacking the Throttles back is your Signature Move !

I love you doing these videos! So keep doing them! Also thanks for responding to all your comments, even though you have so many!

Please don't stop making this kind of video. Sometimes i can't keep up you on Instagram story. This video on KZfaq is much easier to follow, i can watch this over again. I can learn so much with your video. Please don't stop. 😊

I learn so darn much every video! Thanks Stig! You rock!

Amazing videos!! Love nerding out with you. Thanks!!

Another Stig notification, another satisfying video! Thanks for keeping us safe!

Seriously THE BEST I have ever watched! PLEASE keep making these Vids as I dunno how I haven’t seen you before :) AWESOME stuff !

Just stumbled across your videos and im hooked.. I'm in Sheffield, England. I LOVE your love for your "job". I'd love to do something like that but 37 and no quals or experience other than a love for aviation. Learning so much from your vids. Thank you so much.

I love your enthusiasm and videos Stig! I love flying and the planes. 😊

WoW, did not know that about the AA Stand Up to Cancer livery, thanks for sharing!

Great stuff! I’m living vicariously through you, Mr. Stig!

Nice job. I never get tired of these.

Stig; I’m slowly working through your videos, thoroughly enjoying every one. Must say; we do share a love of coffee. I have a cup of the stuff in my hand all the time🙂

Love your videos. I fly flight sim in VR abd I envy you walking around these amazing machines.

What an amazing channel. Thanks.

Thank you once again for another amazing video, and once again for what you do and providing great entertainment. The video was definitely not too long it was perfect, I was able to sit down, relax and watch it before heading up for a training sortie. I also told a couple of our maintenance guys about your channel and they have been loving your content also. It’s perfect for one of them as he is soon transferring out of the military and intends to go and work in the commercial sector so he told me yesterday it has been giving him some real insight into what he can expect.

thankyou for so much information jerry from big jet tv told us about your site i love it keep up the great work thank you merry xmas to all at the maintanace depo for making our flights safe

I appreciate when you explain all the components that you video, like those in the landing gear wheel wells. Thank you! 🤙

The best aviation KZfaqr learn alot thanks and happy holidays to all

I am in Montreal Canada, I have a new found respect for the guys who work these airplanes outside in our weather.

I commented how much I enjoy your videos a few weeks back. They are truly one of the most interesting aviation videos that I watch. Thank you for switching to landscape! Since I watch a lot of KZfaq on the TV, seeing them fill the screen is a huge uptick. Keep them coming!

Nice video man, very informational.

Just came across this channel and I'm hooked instantly. Your positive enthusiasm is addicting. The amount of engineering that goes into these metal birds is just mind blowing. I love it.

Stig, as I now have commented on every long video, I’ll keep saying the same thing! I LOVEEEE these videos and their so inspiring! Im an ex ground handler(had an internship, loved it so gonna go back there once graduated) and apply for flight attendant position and later pilot in the future! Keep them coming! Merry Christmas from a snowy Norway!🇳🇴

This was one hell of a video. If I were a student watching this as a training video, I would feel so overwhelmed. I think I would just start crying. It seems like you are responsible for thousands of things on the aircraft. If you take a glance in the cargo area & the flight deck & the landing gear, there is so much there. How do you remember it all? At a single glance, how do you manage to know what looks good and what doesn’t?

Fantastic job Stig, keep going wigh videos like that👏👏❤️❤️

I really enjoy your videos and the your commentary. You do an excellent job of making me feel like I’m walking right alongside you on the ramp. On a side note, on the tires to toilets segment, in my humble opinion, it’s the sign of a true leader that says regardless of my seniority, I’m not to good to do the worst of jobs. It was always my personal philosophy that I would never ask someone to something that I myself was not willingly to do. Great video as always Stig!

Thanks stig! More videos like this ❤

I just started on line maintenance for airline, so it’s cool to see your thought process and info on the aircraft😊

Never tired of hearing you talking about airplanes systems, back-up sys even trivia part. Absolutely fantastic and unique chanel. Tell me Stig, bcs u mentioned that u got u got to work on 727 and 737 clasics[with PW JT8D]and probably some other machines. How did u then diagnose a problem like this captain made a note in the book[plus eager to hear from u, maintenance guys], with no on-board diagnostics and DFDR or QAR(USB or data card, recording sometimes over 2000 parameters, as Google says ...Must b pain in the butt to diagnose if it is 9xxx or 5xxx event ? Ot tell us a something that was very different and FOR SURE much more labour intensive. Eh ? Thank you for your effort for showing as this job from first hand and almost POV recorded. Much more clear what to expect if someone decide to gave a career like u. Like X 1000. Stay safe .

I'm in assembly & rigging @ GTB with Salcedo, seeing you mention the krueger flaps and it all tying in with what im currently learning is so neat. Love your content you're an inspiration man.

Love watching your videos! Learn something new every video! Aviation is all about learning! Always trying to learn to make myself a better AMT. Didn’t know about the reasoning behind the over sized rivets in the fuselage. Embarrassingly enough I’ve hit my own knee with the Stab trim wheel. Pulled out the handle and then got busy and forgot the handle was out 🤦‍♂️ Doesn’t feel good at all, but an excellent reminder to pay attention to my surroundings and always check the stab trim handle. Lesson learned. You mentioned the MLG landing gear actuator, idk why but I’ve always wanted to change one.

If AA corporate ever has a problem with your videos, I just want to say that your channel instantly made me more likely to choose them next time I fly. Having this kind of transparency could be a huge benefit for their brand.

Never tired of you talking bro . To an Aviation Geek your insights are fascinating .

As a former Harley Davidson technician, been thinking about getting into aviation maintenance. A service writer at the one dealership I was working at was an aviation technician, he told me to go to school for aviation. Better paying and more rewarding job. The motorcycle field is horrible and extremely low paid.

I love flying AA. Thank you for showing what we as passengers can’t see. Thank you mechanics! ❤

Bring back memories when we had the low bay hanger and the high bay walking right in from the employees parking lot. Great video and closed the windows many times.

A lot of infomation great vid

Fascinating! Please keep sharing. It’s so interesting.

Fan- freaking- tactic Stig....that 737 with the doublers and lightening popped rivet repairs....man she's been through the ringer and still serving faithfully. Testament to you and your colleagues skills keeping these birds going. Did I say this upload was fantastic? 🤔 Keep it up love these long lessons lol

Brilliant , Brilliant Brilliant.

Hey long time no see! I was disconnected because we had a big storm here in Buenos Aires. Reminded me of a cat 1 cane in Miami. Lots of trees scattered around, flying cats and dogs... (no, just kidding)

Good to see ur video

OMG !!! that is the best youtube channel specially if you like planes.. I am EXP and I love planes. That is the perfect combination. And I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for keep this birds in perfect conditions for our safety Thank you for your great work and dedication.

Loved the coffee cup ! lol

Im currently getting trained as an A&P and your videos give me so much insight on the job and also why safety is the number 1 priority. Love your videos keep it up!

32:26 - 32:45 awesome little shot! Had Fleetwood Mac - Dreams playing in the background. Went together nicely lol.

You really represent your company very well. I love how enthusiastic you are about your job. It's very easy to go through the day angry..

Great video and educator, you have a wonderful and professional character. Much appreciated!

Stig…. First time responding to any of your videos… I admire the passion you have for your job. Feel free to make the videos longer, but stop saying sorry, as you have nothing to be sorry for.. I’m sure many feel safer in the air, after seeing just one of your videos… Again Ty from N.H…

Appreciate ya man! Great videos and commentary!! I’m a new mechanic for SKYWEST and I see your RONS frequently at the Bravo gates where I pick up our AA CRJ700s…. I’ll send some love from TUS! Thanks again Brotha!

Toilets to tires! So true Stig 🤙!!

Thanks for a fantastic effort with it all brother! Beautiful video as always. I have now accepted a job as an A license engineer at Heathrow and man your videos so helpful coming from a military environment. Much love and good luck!

I feel much safer knowing people like you are doing your job thank you for what you do

Great video stig

@stig thx for another great video!!!

I'm learning alot.....I've always been interested in airplanes... Thank you

I'm amazed to how much knowledge you have when it comes to commercial aircraft after your many years of AMT service. Please keep informing us with these videos.

I just found your channel. I’ve been an A & P for over 35 yrs, been a tech and Flight Engineer for the same corporate operator for 25 yrs. I surprised you don’t service O2, but perform bottle change instead. Why is that? Thanks for the fun content! 👍🏼😁

Thank you so much for your videos, I wish you had video for KING 747 too .

Great videos !

Thank you for explaining the barking dog. I always wanted to know what that sound was when I am flying

Thanks Stig, With your down to earth way of explaining things it helps us learn more about engineering. You are a credit to AA.😊

Always enjoy your video's, get to learn allot about jets that are not normally seen. My jet knowledge extends to " stow and lock your tray, seatback in the upright position and remain seated and belted until the captain turns off the seatbelt sign etc"😮 When you love your job you never work a day in your life, and by the way you inform people on your daily routines your definitely having the time of your life. 😊

I'm really enjoying your channel great commentary I have a strong feeling your channel is gonna grow very big. Keep grinding. Peace ✌️.

54 min? it felt like 5! I love these videos! I understand why you love your job so much!

The most amazing thing about airplanes to me, besides getting off the ground, but the fact, as soon as that aircraft lifts off the ground, the entire weight of the aircraft is spread across the wings. Take a 747 804 engines plus fuel that is an amazing amount of weight on those wings and that’s just sitting on the ground. Then you had turbulence to a flight and those wings are flexing 10 feet up and down and how they don’t come off. The air frame is truly amazing.
