we're about to watch my youtube fit we're about to watch my youtube failures and bloopers from 2021
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 i'm not a professional presenter i've never done anything in media at all
so when i decided to do this it was kind of surprising to a lot of people around me about
three years ago i started doing youtube i had no idea that it would turn into something this big
when i first started it just sit in the hotel room and now it's come to this it's it's pretty
crazy and this year has been a crazy year with the amount of flying that we had going on and juggling
everything i decided to get another editor this year just to take some of the workload off my
plate because a lot of the videos have gotten more complicated more complex uh doing some of
the viral debriefs and air traffic control versus pilots and all that stuff and i decided to get
another editor so around the end of the summer i put out something i ended up hiring an editor
and a guy from texas which works out great and he's been editing these videos and one of
the first things that i told him when he started editing these videos is take the clips the blooper
clips and set them aside into a separate folder i want to review them at the end of the year so mike
cut all these up and sent them over to me we're going to watch them together and the other person
not having their ask oscar gin the old oscar gin everybody needs a little oxygen sometimes
the reality is is people are human people are human kelsey congratulations you've solved the
riddle now here's something to take away from this first purse clip from the purse clip you
also wouldn't be changing your transponder code in your box in your box to entertain change your
frequency into my box this is another video that got sent to me as lot is lot
no this also and bite my own lip how are my cheek how's that even possible oh i don't know
if you want to put that if you want to put that in your uh bloopers you also wouldn't be trained
the radio controls are also the radio controls radio controls take a picture of it and send it
to me on my instagram or twit twag me twag me in the twitter as most of you know i have no
problem showing failures and mistakes that i made as i went through my aviation career and
that's because i think failures is one of the most important things that you can do in your
life a lot of times as we're growing up we're getting told that failing is is the worst thing
that you can do but the reality is that if you continue to do things outside of your comfort zone
that's going to let you grow as a person and if you fail you can learn a lot from it so failing
in life is actually in my opinion not taking those risks or doing those things that you want to try
if you try to go to flight school let's say and you go to flight school and you just fail
you don't make it well there's a lot of things that you can learn from that there's some
things that you may take from that experience that will help you later on in life if you don't do
that you'll never know you'll never learn anything and you'll live in your little bubble where you're
always succeeding and then at the end of the day you may miss out on a lot of opportunities
so shout out to mike for sending that over the other thing that i tried this year in that none
of you ever saw was i get a lot of different clips that are sent to me via instagram or sent to me on
comment sections on the youtube video saying hey can you talk about this or can you look at this
and one of those was a clip of a cop pretending to be a pilot check this out attention prisoner
this is your cop captain speaking first on behalf of the police department i'd like to thank you for
picking our jurisdiction for an arrest we know you had your choice for cities visibility is
clear today we're set for an on-time arrival to the jail you'll be entering through cell number
four until then sit back and enjoy the ride and contemplate your ridiculous life decisions so when
i saw that someone said hey can you react to this and i thought i'll do something better i'll make
my own skit how hard could it be to make a skit i make youtube videos all the time so i got myself
a green screen i wrote myself a little script up and i was gonna do this whole thing and it failed
miserably it was so bad that when i was putting all the clips together i didn't even want to send
it over to mike because i was like this is this is terrible i i can't even put this out there for
people to watch and of course i'm going to share with you a few of the clips now that what happened
hey i got all your guys paperwork you all ready to go yeah 10-4 we're ready to go you ready to go cap
uh yeah we got everything we need you're good to go oh you need the hat too the
the pilot uniform wasn't enough for you i had this idea of what it would be like if pilots acted like
cops so i got myself a hat that said pilot on it because the police always have had to say police
and i tried a few other things and this skit was i don't know four or five minutes long
i watched it it was just terrible so you never saw it but it was one of my failures the other thing
that i did at the very end i did this whole flight i had air traffic control i did all these scenes
i'm not even going to show them to you they were they were so they were terrible but uh the very
end of the video was it was i did it as a whole flight so at the very end of the video it was when
the people were coming off the plane and you know how cops always stand these different poses so i
i had like i don't know 10 different poses where i was standing and pretending to act like a cop
and so this is the next scene here all right i'm gonna go say bye to the passengers
welcome to miami hey great landing cap you all have a good day now later bro now 2021 has been a
bit of a crazy year for me too i thought 2021 was going to be normal after the craziness of 2020 but
it's been weird it's been helpful for me because i couldn't go a lot of the places a lot of things
that i talked about at the very beginning of youtube i talked about how on my days off i would
go and travel and do different things in different places in the world and i haven't been able to do
that obviously just like you haven't i've been traveling the world but for work it's a little
bit different and then going in your days off and all the restrictions and different countries were
locked down and all the rules and i didn't want to learn all the different rules so i just said okay
whatever it's worked out okay though because it's really giving me a lot of time to focus and make
these videos and then because mike's been helping me out has been freeing up more and more time for
me and so i'm hoping next year i'm not able to take you guys on some of the travels that i used
to go and do i'll be able to take you guys on some of these journeys that go different places in the
world jump seating and going and seeing different things i'm hoping to take you all with me when i
go and do that next year as this is obviously going to be the last video of 2021 i want to
tell you all how much i appreciate all of you for watching these videos and not just you all that
are watching the videos but really all the people in my life in and around me that make my job and
everything happens the way it does i want to tell you how much i appreciate all of you and how much
gratitude i have for all of you so i want to give some thank yous to some of you that are out there
first i want to thank all of you who have come up to me seen me in the airport see me on the street
see me at a restaurant and come up and tell me how much you appreciate watching my videos and how
much you enjoy them it means the world to me a lot of people came up to me and said that they were
at an airport and flying because they were scared of flying but watching my videos helped them
understand things better and they felt more comfortable to fly somewhere and go on a trip
or go on a vacation or go see their friends or family they haven't seen in a long time
and that means a lot to me i want to thank all the crews that i've flown with i've flown with
a lot of crews and i always try to pull my weight while i'm flying with them but you know sometimes
there's additional things i'm running around trying to grab a picture before we jump in the van
to head back to the hotel or different things that i'm doing to try to capture stuff to take you guys
on a journey with me or guys go on a layover or an overnight they're like hey come out with us
and i'm like i don't i can't because i don't have time because i need to shoot a video like what i'm
doing right now there were some crews that went out to go grab some food and i was like i can't i
don't really have the time to go do it do all the mechanics that keep my plane safe when i'm flying
them or when i'm flying on them thank you so much i appreciate you guys to the dispatchers that make
sure i always have enough fuel a safe airport to go to if the one we're planning on doesn't work
or tell me where place i'm parking so i can figure out which runway i'm going to be landing on thank
you so much to all the flight attendants that i flew with on the few passenger flights that i did
we did some crazy flights including doing afghan refugees flying people back from afghanistan
was maybe some of the craziest charter flying i've ever done the stories on there
i'll say for another day but that was a crazy thing and something i thought was really cool to
be a part of it's kind of like being the forrest gump of aviation something that i look back on
when i'm old and go man i was part of that whole evolution that happened so that was really cool
and some of the flight attendants on there were amazing some of the things that they did for these
people that were coming from afghanistan really it blew my mind so thank you to all of them thank you
to all the load masters that load the aircrafts that i fly you know the majority of my flying
i do is freight and they are there to make sure that all the containers go in the right spot that
none of the dangerous stuff is with something else that's going to create a problem in flight
and all them doing their jobs making sure all the containers are locked and in the right spot
they do that and they help us keep safe up in the air now sometimes they're flying with us sometimes
they're not so it's nice that they're there doing everything that they can to make sure we're always
safe while we're flying so thank you to all of them to all the air traffic controllers that
are out there that are handling us on the radio keeping me safe when i'm flying and giving me
help when i need some help to get down or vectors or keep planes away from us all that stuff that
you do while i'm flying or while i'm a passenger i know it's a super stressful job i appreciate all
of you up there and it's been a crazy time with covet i know a lot of you worked some
crazy shifts and you had center shut down and all these crazy things that i know you guys experience
i want to thank you all so much i appreciate you all very much the rampers that are on the ground
every day that are out in the freezing cold and the rain and the snow that are out there doing
stuff to help this whole thing of flight that you guys see you guys see it just from my perspective
there are so many people around me that make these flights happen that a lot of you don't see
but these rampers that are out there in the minus 20 degree weather pushing back my plane
and i'm showing you like something some of you from the inside when i'm talking and outside it's
-20 and there's 20 people out there that are out there making sure the plane is safe and ready to
go and there's nothing that we're going to suck up in the engines when we get ready to take off
all those rampers that do that thank you all so much i appreciate you to all my friends that have
had to look at a million different thumbnails and different ideas that i've had for videos that i
constantly ask you what do you think about this thumbnail what do you think about that thumbnail
thank you to all of them for continually putting up with me and looking at all my 40 different
thumbnail options that i have for a video or any of those types of things thank you to all
my friends for that thank you to mike the editor who's been really helping take a lot of stuff off
my plate to make these videos better to make it so that i'm not burning out and having to take
big breaks thank you to him very much mike thank you so much thank you to all the people making
these tick tock videos with tons of misinformation and thank you to hollywood for making their videos
and all the different content that's been put out there me explaining that what's real and what's
not real that's been very helpful for the channel this year it's been a lot of fun for me it's been
a lot of fun for you guys some of the videos went viral so it's been cool to see you all liking it
so much that you're sharing it and it's been in magazines and different articles that people sent
to me i think it's crazy but i'm so thankful for all of you that have shared those videos that like
the videos that left comments thank you to all the people who've left positive comments that's 99
98 99 of all the comments i get are positive but thank you to all the haters out there i find it
so funny when you hate on my stuff or say i'm not a real pilot or say i look like voldemort
and i did those mean comments videos and i find them really entertaining some people
find it very offensive i i think they're really funny so to all the haters out there
thank you i appreciate you very much to all of you in the 7-4 crew who get my sense of humor who like
my videos who found air traffic control videos to send me who sent me anything liked any video watch
any video shared any video i appreciate you guys more than you can ever know thank you very much
i really appreciate you and that you've got my sense of humor and then you find it funny or
that you get the jokes that i'm implying when i do stuff like the airplane movie some people miss all
of those jokes but i appreciate all of you that get my sense of humor it means the world to me
so 2021 it's been a weird one 2022 hopefully i can take you on some more vlogs and some
journeys around the world with me as i kind of show you the other side of being a pilot that
i really haven't had the opportunity as as this youtube thing has been really blowing up but i
haven't been able to do a lot of the other stuff about being a pilot that i think is one of the
best parts about being a pilot so let's see 2022 what kind of doors it opens up if you want to see
the airplane movie i was talking about where most of the jokes got missed because i did it in such a
sarcastic way check out this video here and if you want to see the most viral video that i ever did
check out this video up here i look forward to hearing from you until then keep the blue side up
