Thank you for this content! I fly them,bit seriously appreciate learning more about the aircraft I fly

Watching your videos at Surf made me want to be an A&P, got my tickets in a year, worked on Gulfstreams for a while and just got my dream gig working heavy maintenance on Eurocopters and Bells. Thanks for making these videos, man. Changed my life

Hey James! Started watching your videos when I was starting on the field years ago. I miss them! Where have you been? Hope you are OK. -Fábio, Brazil

Now that I’ve been working in aviation, coming back to watch these videos I understand everything😂

Good walk through on the engine side. My J3-65 goes thru almost the exact process. None of the hangar rats in my neck of the woods has a spark tester. Usually hold against the case and someone spins the prop to see spark... I didn't know a plug firing is a bit more difficult when under say 80 psi. Would be a nice gadget to add to the tool box / work bench.

No tests for diagnostic tests, just keep swapping parts out until you get the problem gone!😮

Are you still working at surf air?

tool control?

This is so cool. Thank you for sharing this James, I really admire you bro. I’m trying to obtain an information packet from a college near me to learn more about becoming an Aircraft Mechanic. I know a couple of things because of you, but I’ve never worked with tools in my life... But I know I have finesse and the willingness to learn so I think I could really have a shot at this. With all that being said, I have a couple questions. Were you in a similar situation to me, or were you already experienced somehow before attending the college program? I guess what I’m really asking is, does college teach you everything? I just don’t want to be that guy who’s unprepared lol.

Hey James, have you ever had to use math further than basic adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying?

I really admire you man. I really think I might go do an apprenticeship somewhere bro, because of you. Really wish you’d come back, this content feels like the life we all want to live, but just don’t know how to go about it. Also, I’d really like to talk to you somehow if I could, to get a better understanding of the path you took. Thanks, Gavin.

Hey James. So, I’m looking into possibly being an A&P mechanic, but I have a problem which I think you might be able to help me with. How did you know for sure that being an A&P mechanic is what you really wanted to do? I’m afraid to put in $15k for education and then realize that it isn’t my calling.

O, so you are in Cal-a-For-ney-A. There is a 100% chance you are a Liberal :)

Hy is there any Master's program related to this field? I've completed bachelor's in physics , so Chooing a bachelor will lead to visa rejection

Rewatching all your travel videos after all these years. I hope you both go on another adventure and take us with you

My younger brother is a major fan of that car. Drove the wheels off of two of them, good investment.

Yaaa. There is a tool for that 😅😅. Way too tight. That’s what torque wrenches are for. Yes, I would rather have smaller light aircraft enginework videos. Its what I want to do after I retire.

I want to do this job so bad, but I'm pretty damn stupid lol. Got through highschool and college was hell.

these are my comfort videos

WAIT I thought that hanger looked familar that place is now owned by Avex I went there on a field trip recently while I am currently studying at spartan college broomfield to be an Aircraft Mechanic😂I am so glad to find your videos man its making me enjoy the year I have gone through and motivates me to study for the A&P tests. Thanks man for posting your experience while you were a mechanic helps us new guys out.

who's still here watching 6 years later? Miss watching your videos brother!!

this is crazy. I fly for surf air now and just got reccomended your videos and i see 828SA which I fly all the time. its weird to see it in a video from 6 years ago haha

Thanks,This is closer to what I fly, a J3C-65 with C-85 engine

Damn, I should have studied to be an airplane mechanic. Looks fun

Must have been a great trip👍

James! I just thought I’d let you know I start my AP school in a week and I’ve been watching all your videos learning all sorts of stuff! Thank you much for putting these out, and I’m hoping you’ll start producing content again!

Very well done 😀👍

Man where are you? 5 years ago was your last video.

Bacana demais James..sou do Brasil trabalho a 15 anos na manutenção de A320 A330 A340,767 e777. Pra eu trabalhar aí qual caminho devo seguir? O mercado pra manutenção de aeronaves aí é bom? Abraços! Itamar do Brasil

Why did you stop making Surfair videos? Everyone on CZcams that had anything to do with Surfair hasn’t had anything new in years. What’s the deal? I’m going thru the training signing on as a pilot to Surfair as we speak. Would like to see the operation before I get there.

nicely explained the replacement of motor.When will the pressure switch operate?.

Hi a watching your vlog can u us u something. Wat is the standard refrigerant pressure for the aircraft. Thnks I like your vlog pls help me if I us u something about aircraft.

Hey man, don't know if you will see this. Just recently found your videos, and even more recently decided to go and get my A&P. I was wondering what your experiences were like outside these videos.
