it's always a redheaded kid that's kicking people I don't know what that's
all about you all in the 74 crew have been sending
in a lot of aviation meme videos lately so today we're doing aviation video
memes coming up
hey 74 crew welcome back if you don't know me my name is Kelsey I'm a 747
pilot my channel 74 gear is all about
aviation in the last aviation meme video i asked you guys to start sending me
aviation meme videos because i thought it'd be cool to make one video with all
of them in one spot if you find more aviation memes that you
want to see on one of these videos the easiest way to do it is just send it to
my instagram keep sending those in but for now let's
get into it
it's always a red-headed kid that's kicking people i don't know what that's
all about
I've never seen a first class like
that i've never seen a first class like that
now obviously back in the 60s and 70s they had some pretty swanky first-class
lounges but there's really nothing that swanky now like you had maybe in the 60s
or 70s but a funny story about something
similar that happened was i was traveling internationally it was
probably like a 10 or 11 hour flight i was traveling in business class
they do close those curtains but sometimes those curtains are mesh and
that means the people on the other side can see you
well i just spent four or five hours sleeping i got up to go to the bathroom
as i was getting to the back to go to the bathroom i could see that there was
this guy sitting in the middle seat in the coach area
he had nowhere to sleep it was the middle of the night and i've done that
before i've done a 12 hour flight and coach in the middle
and it is you to pay anything anything to get a little bit of sleep he couldn't
sleep at all you could just see it on his face how irritated he was
and i was just walking into the bathroom thinking i know exactly how you feel
of course he was probably thinking god i hate that guy but that is one of the
advantages of traveling for work is that if we're doing a long international
flight they put us in business or first class when we're traveling because
if we got to sleep and then get somewhere and then maybe have a short
rest then operate they don't want us to be super super
tired if you are sitting in coach and you see somebody coming back from first
class that's walking into the bathroom before you start thinking horrible
horrible thoughts of who they are just realize it could be a normal guy like me
that's wearing a hoodie that's just going to work
in a hundred lifetimes i
chose
i wonder how many flight attendants have seen this beam if you drink the coffee
that the phlegtons make for you it's it's kind of like this the reason i say
that is because the water they use for the coffee it comes from the belly of
the plane which is not cleaned very much it's a
special tank and they clean it but i wouldn't say it's super hygienic for
the most part i don't think flight attendants would give you toilet water
but that just goes to show you how nice you should be to your flight
attendants because they are bringing you your food and your drinks while you're
flying so just keep that in mind
no
making no corrections at all
i know a lot of pilots that were off for a bunch of time were worried about this
kind of thing happening but the sad thing about this video is you
could think oh maybe it was a really windy or gusty day but
if we rewind this you're going to see that the windsock is totally deflated so
there's literally no wind they're just see-sawing down the runway
which means they probably came in too fast you would think after you do
something a bunch of times that you wouldn't have any problem like that
after three months of not flying that would be
rusty but if i take let's say a month where i don't fly to 7
4 and i get back in it it's it takes me like a couple hours to kind of get
everything situated and find the things that i want
and sometimes i miss the flow or the rhythm that i'm doing things so
it's true that after three months you're gonna be a little bit rusty but
it comes back pretty quick and um i'll just
get us started
uh we'll need that to live
the simpson show has been running forever that's like the show that we'll
never ever die it seems like it's another one of those where you're
after quarantine and i actually had something like this you know i fly three
different versions of the boeing 747 i fly the dreamlifter i fly a normal 747
400. well i also fly the passenger in the cargo version of that and then i fly
747-8 that dash 8 has a lot of different
buttons and ways to get things that is different than the normal 400 and i
hadn't flown one in two months the way that the checklists are done on
the dash 8 is actually electronically and so if you're not used to flying it
there was a special button that you have to hit in order to pull it up and
i couldn't remember where that button was i kept looking everywhere and i
could see the captain was looking at me like what is this guy doing
and i was didn't want to ask cause i was like i know where this button is and i
was kept looking everywhere for it so it's kind of something like that but you
can't lift the gear up while it's on the ground i talked about that in the conair
hollywood versus reality
i don't know how many africans are here that are following this channel but i
didn't make that beam but it is pretty funny
flying in africa is a little bit like the wild west there's obviously a lot of
airspace there there's not a lot of coverage not a lot of radar coverage
things are done a little bit differently over there not that differently where
they're using ramps to try to launch planes off the ground but you get the
idea now floating pipes from i think six out
of the seven different continents antarctica being
not the people i've flown with but i will say that i don't think that there's
really any difference of where you go to get your flight training as far as
how good of a pilot you become it really comes down to how professional
you are how good you want to beat your craft
so it doesn't matter if you came from africa and you learned how to fly or you
came from the us and you went to the best school
if you really pursue being a professional and being the very best
pilot you can be it doesn't really matter where you learn
to fly pull up terrain terrain
terrain you would think an animal that is trained to fly
would do something better than bombing into the ground like it was his first
landing i'm not really good on bird so if you
know what type of bird that was let me know
it looked like a flying penguin which i know those things don't fly if you
aren't familiar with that noise it's basically a noise that will happen
when you're going down too fast and the plane thinks that you might have a
collision with the ground you'll hear that don't sink things like
that it's basically a safety precaution obviously birds don't have it when
flying penguins or whatever that was don't have it either
but i just don't understand how it hit the ground so hard and bounced up so
high that's pretty impressive hop on a g700 private jet made by this
company it costs 75 million dollars and flies at
mach point gulfstream obviously so a flight to paris
would be fun vikrant this concord nope nishan what is leer no
what is a gulf stream jet factory it's like the first and only time i'd ever
get the right answer in jeopardy you would think somebody that's smart
enough to get onto jeopardy would know that the con chord
goes over the speed of sound which is that mach .92 or whatever number they
give that's in reference to the speed of
sound so you'd say 0.92 would be 92 percent of the speed of sound
and obviously everybody knows that concord goes faster than the speed of
sound that's what made it so famous you would think somebody smart enough to
get on jeopardy would know that if i can figure that out but if you put me
on that show i would probably get one out of a hundred
faster than the people who are actually on that show so i want to be too
critical of them
i love his face at the end just like i don't know what to do right now
i don't know if that video is really a beam as much as it'd be something for
like a viral debrief if you haven't seen the viral debris
series when i explained different viral aviation videos go check it out
i'll put a link to it right here i look forward to hearing
from you until then keep the blue side up
