- Follow me through a typically a typical day (and a half) of my life as a corporate pilot. Where we start, where we land, who we take; it changes all the time. It's the consistent inconsistency that attracted me to and kept me in the corporate aviation world for over 30 years.
I am thoroughly impressed by how still you held the camera at 4:00
I really enjoyed this: such a great balance of information, humour (glad to see you check the Stoppy Things and enjoy a good game of luggage tetris) and stunning footage. Subscribed, and looking forward to seeing more of your content.
Love the OSU mug, go bucks! Phenomenal video, hopefully I’ll see you in the skies in not too long!
Thank you, Drew! O-H!!!! See you in the wild blue...
How is there not a single drop of grease or dirt anywhere? The gear and bays look brand new.
I was a communicator for a high-ranking US Army General. We flew an US Army J5, and while in Hawaii, my principal, who chose the menu for everyone , decided she wanted taco salads. I was impressed by the fact that the stewards who served us on flights were able to go to Taco Bell and purchase the taco bowls. I did not know that was possible. Great video.
Great video. Careful editing made it enjoyable to watch.
Beautifully made video! Keep it up
Hey Craig, I think I may have missed one or two videos. Glad I was able to catch this one. I did not know all of this went into private commercial corporate flying...very impressive.
Oh yeah, I love the accompanying soundtrack.
NICK!!! I have missed one or two of your awesome video RESPONSES! Ugh! Great to "see" you here. I think we need to ride.
KDTW, My home Bravo Airport. I'm a flight student out of KYIP. Don't see many people fly out of Michigan a ton.
Very nice video, thanks. I subscribe before the video was over.
Thank you - respect…
Beautiful Jet and video, really enjoyed !! Thanks 👍🏽
Could you share anything about your journey to becoming a corporate pilot? I know the biggest thing is networking, but any tips and tricks you have from your experience and journey would be greatly appreciated. Would love to talk.
Thanks so much
Nicely done. After 30 years,, I finally rode along on the airplane with you guys!
Ha! Thanks, Bill. It's no Legacy, but would love to take you flying in the C182 when you're willing and able. Thanks for the suggestion.
woww that plane kept maintained so perfect.. squeeeaky clean gear no oil, dirt, grease struts wheelwells omg... How they do it?... plane is a 2015 E550 ?
How often do u fly this jet very much ? sounds like not too.much. great vid thx do more !
Hi watching your videos and find it impossible to spot other aircraft when you talk about them
Is it possible just to add an arrow when editing as I am blind as a bat thanks 👍👍👍👍
Wow, I really liked the video. And that jet is squeaky clean. Do you have any more videos of your flights??
Great humor and video.
Great video. Is this Part 135, 91k or something else?
Embraer 550? I’m a corporate A&P. Those are nice aircraft 👍
Yes. EMB550. We like it! I'm not a total fan of fly-by-wire everything but it's grown on me.
Besides the G650ER, this is my favorite GA aircraft.
Thank you, Robert. Those are two very different aircraft. Both very good though. Good taste.
Good show
Looking forward to this life after covid quietness and wide bodies...
Good video, subsribed, Nice to meet you!!
keep up the great work Craig
Thanks Brian! And thank you for the Subscribe.
More of this please :)
Hi Craig, can I ask, you said at the end of this video that the plane would be in Detroit for a couple weeks until you pick the up at Marquette again. Does that mean you are not flying? Does that mean you aren’t getting paid? Just curious. Super video, new subscriber.
Got my ppl 😁
How is your flight training now?
I knew that bird, I flew with that bird and I hate to say it, he had it coming. -Seagull Adams
Love the mug.. GO BUCKS
Looking nice.
Was than an IL-76 on the ramp at Marquette?
I wish they wood preflight the air craft after landing, its bad getting to the airport at 5 AM and the preflight shows up some thing bad, I could have stayed in bed a few more hours (-:
I'm the guy who does BOTH so if it's "bad" the next morning it's because the last bozo who flew it (me) didn't notice something as glaring as...a bird strike, for example!
More videos like this 👍❤️👩✈️
wings and stoppy things are pretty important.....
They both important in their own time.
"Courtesy fuel" is a thing of the distant past. It is now FBO mandated minimum fuel upload (ever increasing gallon amounts by aircraft type) to avoid an exorbitant handling fee, which depending on the FBO brand, may not include pulling chocks and marshaling out of parking.
I want this life.
6:37 what is that in the first window!
Wow. Good catch, Drako. I DON'T KNOW! I don't THINK there was anyone in the aircraft when I shot the walkaround. A LITERAL ghost in the machine! Adding to the preflight checklist: "13. Check interior for uninvited spirits."
Did maintenance have to do an inspection of the engine to insure no bird parts damaged anything?
Good question, Paul. No maintenance inspection. I determined the strike was sufficiently outboard of the LH nacelle. There was no apparent debris on the N1 fan. Everything within parameters on the next start/run. I've ingested a few birds in my time and called for inspection and internal scopes, engine cleaning while running, etc. No need this time. Plane has run over 100 hours since. No barbecued pigeons.
Dose the pilot pay for the fuel or dose the company provide the pilot whit money to pay for the fuel?
Have you flown corporate your entire career?
Great video very nice plane I have to ask what’s a plane like that cost
About 20 Million? That's without the Panera Bread catering though.
Thank you, Tex. Bill got it right. "About 20 million". Just a tick over for that for a well-equipped new one. Catering not included. Or fuel. Or pilots.
if I was 35 with acollage degree this would be doable.
Why do passengers always want Panera bread catering
Courtesy fuel?...wow.
4:05 Sir you resemble a Talented Hollywood Movie Star, "JOHN MALKOVICH"
This was an excellent Video about a day in Corporate Pilot's Life.
Thank you very much, AB ba. I appreciate the compliment(s).
Always track north
Except in the Winter...
I’m 56yo, am I too old to begin?
Not really but I wouldn’t wait any longer if I was you.
Are people impressed with your career until you tell them you have to do a coffee run uggg what a waste
So on walk around what are looking for? Horrible said nothing about day
Beard? Really?
👋🏻KSRQ☀️🌴🇺🇸🛩
Hi Dennis. Are you IN SRQ?
Is it ever possible to sometimes to give us a price of the flight and who pays the empty leg ???
