Thanks Steve! I will be back uploading soon

[@steve-marsh]

@@Vuelogs I look forward to it Sir! Your channel is awesome!

[@theglobalpeasant]

Great seeing you both in the same video. Enjoyed hearing how Blake makes his videos!

[@Vuelogs]

Thanks buddy! You'll definitely enjoy the next one

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

Great job guys, really enjoyable to watch. Thanks for the mention. We definitely need to all get together for a few drinks once this is over.

[@Vuelogs]

Thank you Dennis, I am glad you liked it!

[@JamesGott747]

Great video!
It was really interesting listening to you guys, and thanks for reading out my question!

[@Vuelogs]

Thanks, I am happy you liked. I did want to add to my answer that if you're going to do a roundtrip flight, you have the chance to do both the A380 and the 747!

[@GilbertTravels]

Great job guys. Nice to get a peek behind your method Blake. Your dedication to having a plan and a formula that you stick to consistently is something I have always admired and no doubt a big part of your success. I am also pleased that you graciously allowed me to hold on to my record for name the planes for one more week!

[@BlakeEdgington]

Gilbert Travels I was dreading that part of the video. I did better than I expected.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

I’m with Blake ... yes the 747 is a beautiful aircraft and while I wouldn’t pass up the chance to travel on one again, the A380 is hands down the most impressive engineering feat and an utter joy to fly as a passenger. 😍

[@Vuelogs]

The A380 definitely is an impressive engineering feat and if I get another chance to fly one I will. But if you give me the choice for one more flight, it'll be the 747

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Vuelogs Hopefully we don’t have to make such decisions and can fly both. 🤞🏽

[@DeltaBravoTango]

Brilliant podcast mate! It's a very entertaining series!

[@Vuelogs]

Thanks mate! I am really enjoying making them!

[@NewcastleFlyer]

Great podcast Robin and great to see Blake too! He even managed to set my Alexa off about 42 minutes in when discussing amazon as I was watching on my TV.

[@BlakeEdgington]

Newcastle Flyer haha sorry!

[@NewcastleFlyer]

Blake Edgington - Airborne There is a first for everything! Thanks for telling me that my order isn’t due to arrive until 3rd June.

[@Vuelogs]

😂

[@dianab3247]

Very entertaining! Hope you both will be flying soon again.

[@Vuelogs]

Thanks!

[@petermoll8309]

What is it about VPNs?
Great to sit down and find out more about Blake - the one I have heard lots of but not followed yet. Really good and honest interview, keep them coming. Thanks

[@tomwillard7251]

Great video and good questions asked. At 54:30 with regards to European a330’s, Aer Lingus flies an a330 as well. I saw one arrive in JFK a few days ago.

[@Vuelogs]

Hey Tom, thanks for the comment. In this part we were specifically talking about the A330-900 (neo), of which not that many fly around yet.

[@scotb621]

Great Video!

[@Vuelogs]

Thanks!

[@FlyAround]

You were talking about the A330neo close to the end of the video and I can confirm that it is significantly quieter than the regular A330. Fingers crossed that the pandemic eases out until July :D

[@Vuelogs]

I really hope so!

[@briancarroll3120]

Knew this would be good! Who's next?

[@Vuelogs]

Thanks Brian! It looks like Jeb Brooks will be on for the next one

[@horseplop9]

hi Robin Fum Video sir

[@Vuelogs]

Thanks!

[@briancarroll3120]

Jeb Brooks maybe ?

[@MomentsInTheSky]

*Mentally notes: don’t shake the camera so as not to irritate Blake!* 😁😬

[@Vuelogs]

Or add some more, just to annoy him 😬
