Would have loved to hear more from Bob, But Steve kinda speaks too much IMO.

Worked the and learned to fly in the late 1970s. We had two Chimpunks and a bunch of PA28-140s, 180, Arrow, Apache and Aztec. It was owned by Maurice Looker, ex RAF before the current owners. It was inside the London CTR at that time and we had a height restricted 'freelane' so we could get out of the control zone west to Twyford with a circuit height of 800ft agl. Glad to see you are now just outside Heathrow's airspace.

The first aircraft I ever flew in as a teenager in 1972 - BIA Belfast - Blackpool - fond memories

Just stumbled upon this nugget (better late than never) and thought it was a fantastic conversation. Huge CCasual fan. I keep my 1981 Beech Baron at KFRG on Long Island and totally agree with what Steve was saying about his Aerostar and how piston engine aircraft need to fly and not sit. Heard he sold the Aerostar since this aired. Tailwinds. Andy

hi Arthur

hi, good to see you here

What an absolutely great interview.

Great vid! Found Bob’s superb TikTok channel few days a go where he shouted out Steve’s RUclips channel ”SpeedTapeFilms” - a terrific channel about their aircraft moving trips, interesting stuff. One of the best aviation channel on RUclips. Love these guys and their fantastic job!

Who will replace your generation of pilots? AI Autopilot? Are young qualified men and women being recruited for commercial airlines?

‘Complained about Trump” l knew I liked this guy!

Wow, I just found this, what a brilliant insite, I've been following Steve & Bob's adventures for a short while and this informal get-together was just brilliant. I have also subscribed to The Layover as well now. Have a great weekend from the UK

For those interested the Irving Beak referred to by Mark at 19.53 is a fairing that extended the full length of the rudder and protrudes into the tail fin. Its movement inside the fin creates venturi effects to assist movement of the rudder against high air loads.

39:15 What a goof….painting “airline pilots” with a broad brush. He obviously doesn’t realize the jobs that many of us have done to get to the major level, to include flying crap equipment overseas. Typical thing, probably sour grapes….

I started being interested in learning about planes when lockdown started and i was in 3rd year of high school studying for exams to get into university. If you know Greece system you know how hard this year is and now covid hit in the middle of it. I fell on aviation youtube. One of the first youtubers i followed was Peter mentour pilot and within less than a year i was over my fear of planes and flying. Without knowing it i was following more and more aviators and becoming an avgeek. Found Jerry through Juan Browne through his 2 lives " a man watching a man watching airplanes" years after the lives took place😂. Went to my first ga event in a close to me grass strip ga airport and i loved it. I flew as well. That was a feeling i will never forget.

Watching this again and still lovin' it!

What happened to this channel?

I’m typed in a jet that allows AT during OEI and the 737 which doesn’t. I found I used ATs more as a new jet pilot and then less and less as I got more jet time. To the point now I prefer to leave them off. They were a crutch initially, but I found myself playing catch up with rudder trim and it turned into a bad cycle. With comfort and experience, I can leave power settings largely unchanged (thus reducing rudder trim changes) and manage speed and coordination better with only flap inputs.

GREAT conversation. Thank you so much!

All you need is a horizon and some gas to live!

This was streamed a year ago (04 Dec 2022 now) and I was just going to listen to a bit of what Steve and Bob (speedtapefilms on YT) and its over an hour now. Thank you

Thankyou Mat to be IndoPilot for your dedication to our country 👍💓🇮🇩

Saw Channel Express Heralds in Guernsey in 1994. Fond memories

Awesome video. Very interesting.

Virtualisation = mental flying SFP=special ferry permit

when you guys were in Brazil, I kept thinking you had no idea how dangerous it is

I just love how Steve and Bob present this laissez faire, cowboy image, but as soon as they're allowed to talk about the details their knowledge is encyclopaedic. Great show, all.

An excellent video. One thing you didn't comment on, was safes in hotel rooms. Do you use them? I have travelled a lot , mostly around Europe and have never had any problems. One has to be aware of their surroundings, especially when out and about. That was the case when I was in Frankfurt, as the area around Frankfurt Station was frequented by beggars and rough sleeper, but the area was well policed and I was never approached by any of these people. It's just a case of be sensible and don't take any unnecessary risks.

Good video save for two technical errors. (1) The "variable camber flaps " (VCC) shown at the leading edge of the wing are not actually the Kruger flaps. The Kruger flaps are positioned between engines 2 and 3 and the fuselage, respectively. VCC's were then positioned further out on the leading edge until just before the wing tip. (2) The cabin dimensions on 001 are EXACTLY the same as the -400. The main deck cabin width remained 6.1m (20' 1") for the life of the type. Length of fuselage, height at tail and wing spans varied according to model variant only. Sorry to be picky. 😃

I’m a simple man, I see Steve, I click. Great session loved every bit of it

Loving this and subscribed! Well done!

Bob's teeth are way too white.

In the US I have never heard of a medevac with two pilots and unfortunately they crash too often!

they stayed up all night on that intro

I flew on one from San Francisco to Tokyo spring of 1977.

Don’t forget pot noodles and crisps ;)

Late to this. Best Layover yet. What a superbly coherent guest.....and iced with that wonderful PR Spitfire pic at the end! Thank you all.

What a wonderfully inspiring stream!

Bless you ladies, I know you were nervous at the beginning, but well organised and run live event. You did Pilots Together proud 👏👏👏

Thanks for this, very concise & clear 👍🏼

Very sound advice indeed.

Arrived for my booster early and at changeover so what a lovely 15m to spend in the air ✈️😍

I spy more merch . . . ;-)

Great tips Scotte, especially the country specific vaccinations. I didn't know that. Love learning on YT 👍🏼

Most of these items that are shown, are now on the sale

Hi Scott, i came here from today's IF Friday flight with Dan and Laura. Enjoyed you answering questions from the live chat.

Very enjoyable as always, good research on the vids, thanks for your hard work.

This was a great show - I always say that the ones featuring more of you 3 are equally as good as some of the (admittedly excellent) guest shows. Shame I didn’t see it live.

I remember the days of the Viscounts and 707’s flown by Air Rhodesia pilots during the war years! Thank you Mark, Lyndsay and Scottie! Danie FACT 🇿🇦

I enjoyed this, aviation has indeed come a long way!
