ℹ️About the episode:
Big thanks to the United States Air Force for allowing us to record at Randolph Air Force Base and to KYD Insider Zach for the invitation to fly simulators and experience the virtual reality flight training program. Sharing this experience with the KYD Community made it even more special. The Air Force has a history of developing cutting edge tools, especially when it comes to learning how to fly.
Joint Base San Antonio News wrote an article about our visit to Randolph Air Force Base and Carson's desire to fly in the Air Force. bit.ly/KYD-Rand...

As a proud Air Force Dad, pride of your child being in the Air Force is awesome! My son & daughter-in-law were both in based in Japan. They loved their time there. Much luck for Carson!
Not to mention you have an adult st on who is out of the house and employed. Not too many fathers can say that now
I was a T-38 instructor pilot stationed at Randolph AFB in the early 70’s after a 20 year career I can honestly say that they were the best years of my life. Your son could not chose a better career.
Robert Simica Thank you for your service to our great country. ❤️🤍💙
So my husband wanted to be a Marine Pilot, but his eyesight wasn't good enough. One of the last things he did before he retired was design the boards that ran the displays for the F15 cockpit. So one day they brought in the flight simulator that used his boards to run the simulator displays. Imagine his joy when this 65 year old man got to "fly" an F15. He talked about it for weeks. It was a major highlight of his computer designing career.
Serving ones country takes a special type of person. If he takes this path, there will be struggles and stumbles but, when he gets through them and HE WILL.. the light he feels is something that can't be diminished! I watched my son grow so much over his choice of joining the service and with that I will tell you, you will grow too!
According to my family of Air Force, it is a wonderful career and you won't be sorry for joining. My husband is retired Air Force and was a Flight Engineer; my stepson is currently in the Air Force & is stationed in Destin, FL; my brother-in-law is a retired Colonel; my nephew joined the AF ROTC in college and went into the Air Force as an officer and is stationed in Georgia. My son-in-law did the same thing, except is now a Lt. Colonel in the Air National Guard. Loved this video and will have to show it to the hubby.
Glad to see your son's interest in USAF. I'm retired F-16, A-10, T-38 pilot. All 3 of my sons are AF, 1 Academy grad (MQ-9 IP) and 2 ROTC grads (EA-18 electronic warfare officer and Intel officer). Great life, great service to our country!
My son and daughter in law are both in the Airforce. 10 yrs and 12 yrs. Carson will do good mom and dad. My son graduated from Lackland AFB number 7 out of 700 Airmen graduated with honors, so we went to 2 graduations. So proud of Carson. Poor Grand Ginger.... lol . You guys crack me up.
My son is a ranger in Texas. He suggested putting the purifier directly to the rig and not the tap because bacteria builds up in the hose. Just a thought. We so enjoy your journey.
My dad was stationed at Randolph Field in the 1940's as part of the Army Air Force. He made physical repairs to the planes. He also played on their base football team and played at the Cotton Bowl. I have his engraved watch so this video was even more special to me.
13yr AF Vet in Acft mx. This brought back so many memories. ❤ Matt and Blair! Yay!
Fellow AF Veteran Thank You for Serving .
Army vet here stationed at Ft. Sam Houston. The stories I have about you crazy guys at RAFB!!!
I have loved watching your family right from the start! Taking 3 teenage ( or almost) kids on this adventure was inspiring enough... Watching you send them off on their own paths is just simply epic!! I know you hear this all the time, but thank you so much for sharing your journey and lessons. Especially the way that you do... It's like watching the best reality TV ever!
Thanks Erin!
For you hose connection, go the Home Depot and purchase a brass hose quick connect! No more more twisting or worn out hose connection!! Happy Travels BobnRobin
Glad to see parents supporting their kid’s dreams. Many requirements and discipline for his path. However, there is a great reward. And for “pausing “ the sim, if you were really bad, they would have given you a nickname.
Nice to see the Wondering Wyatts :) have been following the soon to be addition to their family
Aw happy to hear that, Dale!! We're so excited to meet her SOON!!!!! :) -Blair
My son is currently a T-38 instructor pilot at Randolph AFB, after flying F-15Es at Seymour Johnson AFB in NC. He got his start as a 14 yo cadet in Civil Air Patrol. Highly recommend it!
What an awesome opportunity at Randolph AFB! Thanks for sharing.
Special thanks to Zack and the Air Force for granting access to the facility! Also thanks to Carson for his "future" service.
Love your videos as always!! Jim.
You guys are great. Ive been rving for 2yrs now, not full time. I just discovered your channel about 2mos ago. You guys have taught me a lot when it comes to rving. Love what you guys are doing, your channel is very entertaining.
They were the ones who inspired us to finally get out on the road full time!
great video - and very smart of the USAF to host you guys & let you film!
I love how Mark is talking about how experienced of travelers you are as he tries to thread the water hose on by turning it backwards. I have watched all the latest videos and the earliest videos. Now catching up on the ones in the middle.
Loved the trip thru Randolph AFB and the flying lessons you guys did. About your refrigerator. Refrigerators located in slideouts will have more cooling problems than a refrigerator with a roof vent. I installed an ARP unit over a year ago and it has tripped once. I bought the ARP as an insurance against possible fires caused when the ref boiler gets too hot. The ARP will cycle the ref on and off a couple times to let the boiler cool down before shutting down the ref in a safe mode. The ARP does have an optional fan that helps blow air up the back of the refrigerator and out the cooling top vent. I understand getting the air to flow out the top side vent is kinda of an art to get the air to flow over the top fins in the top of your refrigerator. Look on youtube for how to get the air to flow right.
For your water connection, I installed a 45 degree brass connector and left it installed on the trailer's water connector. I connected the hose to the 45 degree connector so I don't use the trailer connector.
Way cool visit to the Air Force Base!!! Thanks to all the men and women for their service to our country.
👍
My daughter is at Del Rio right now! T6 done and on to the T1!!! Cool to see somewhat of what she is doing! And yes beaming pride is the top perk of and AF mom!
Randolph AFB! What a treat! Speaking of "treats" (I was, see previous) what a treat watching that RV Newbie attach his water connection (3:18). What a dufus. We waved, chancing that might be you NB I49 yesterday (22 April) afternoon, South of Shreveport. Again, what a treat this video was.
Haha I loved this video! I have been a Private Pilot for 35+ years... Thanks for sharing! John M. Kelly...
Loved this video!! I grew up at Randolph AFB. Good luck, Carson. Go Air Force!
How exciting. Good luck to Carter! You did a great job. Can't wait to hear when he is accepted into the Air Force. Many memories at Randolph as we were stationed there. I attended elementary school on Randolph and my brother graduated from the high school in the mid 70's. The O'Club & the pool (which I lived right across the street from)the flight line snack bar and keepimg my horse at the stable...I could go on and on. My father was a A.F. pilot and trained at Randolph in the late 40's. Go Air Force!
Who else was filming on the flight line?
Takes me back! I flew F-16s in the USAF. Retired in 2014. Went through Randolph for my advanced intro to fighter fundamentals (T-38). Went on to your backyard, Luke AFB, after that for F-16 training in 2000. Let me know if y’all have any questions. I’m in FL now at Northrop Grumman. Love your channel!
I took a aeronautics course in highschool and it was probably my favorite class ever. At the end of it we got to take a real flight lesson and each took off and landed a trainer cessna. I wish I would have went after aviation more but I chose skilled trades. Maybe someday I will go for a private pilots license
Well I didn’t even need to turn the video on. That smiling boys face says it all. Hugs WAH.
Hi you guys and family America is on the bucket list! Thanks for showing you're country side. In Australia we have CB Radio to communicate with people on the roads. Love you're work and vlogs Australia
Guys you were 5 minutes from our home. My husband Rick works on base. Wish we had know we would have swung by to say hello!
Happy EASTER! Made me smile, I was stationed at Randolph Back when they flew T-38s and T-37 trainers. Glad you got to experience it.
Thank You for Serving Fellow Airman .
My wife and I are huge fans. I can't wait to catch up to these current videos. We're still on season 3! Just wanted to show some love on a current video. You guys rock!
Nice. Welcome! The videos get better after SN4 ;)
Hey, you had a giant schnauzer at your meet-up! That's been "our" breed for 40 years. Startled me because you don't see too many of them. Love, love, love how you're supporting Carson's interest in aviation. Keep up the great videos!
What a great opportunity. I know you guys had a great time. Being ex-military I had several opportunities to fly different simulators, but it looks like the virtual ones are really coming on. Outstanding video as usual. We loved season 6, but I think season 7 will be the best one yet.
I really enjoy your content. You have a great family dynamic that people just love to watch. Everything is so informative and entertaining.
Love Love Love your channel.....all branches of the military are respected.......I chose the Air Force to serve in....so this video brought back some memories...thanks.......
Carson make sure you follow your Dream to the best of your ability. I never and have regretted it all my life. Great video 👍🛩️
Awesome to see Carson has this this very admirable goal. I too grew up with the very same aspirations. The journey is long and at times difficult, but my many years as a commercial airplane and helicopter pilot were some of my most rewarding. Keep the dirty side down and go for it.
This was a great video....enjoyed it very much. Carson must be so excited!!!!
Air Force is a great way of life. I retired after 21 years in and live near Sheppard AFB if you ever need a place to park a rig.
I’m just now seeing his 😢 I love Randolph, graduated Navigator training there in 2000. Glad you showed the T-43 on a stick (navigator trainer 737 on static display).
We are in central Florida and involved in our school system. We are blessed to have an opportunity for our students here with and Areospace Academy which is connected to Lakeland Linder Airport and has both high school classes in flight and airframe maintenance.
The discussion about "Your stairs are down" and the thumbs-up response reminded me of the 'Planes, Trains, & Automobiles' movie: "You're going the wrong way!" ;-)
That was nice of you to give Blair and Matt the hitch fit...😀 happy Easter guys!
I'm so excited to get after it once the baby comes!! -Blair
Wal-Mart has a brass elbow that would be a cheap, easy fix to your wet bay hook up... Amazon also has them. 😃 we watch all your vids, love them. Thx for all the work!
I have two of the 45 degree elbows . Silver for fresh. Brass for black.
It was so great seeing y'all again! :)
You too! Nice cameo :)
Been flying for over 30 years now.....Best of luck to Carson! You can tell the AF is in desperate need of pilots. When I was a teenager there wasn’t unfortunately so I did the civilian route.
Ahhhhhh Blair and Matt from The Wondering Wyatts!!!
How Tricia feels in this episode is me on your trips where you go swimming, snorkeling & Scuba diving. I prefer being on top of the water or up in the air.
You will be proud of your son forsure. My son is in USAF 21 years in and is going to Alaska in July. Can we say ROAD TRIP !!!!!!!!!!
I'm an Air Force Veteran . Thank Your son for me for Serving .
Watching from Cancun. Love the show. Ran into some friends that RV full time and mentions your channel. (Jennifer Edwards)
My son went the civilian route. Started lessons at 15, started teaching at 21 (extra benefit of teaching is "building hours") while still in college, graduated in three years and has been flying for the airlines since 22. He is about to become a captain at 24.
It is a challenging career; and, NOW is the perfect time to do it!!!
My favorite episode so far. What a great way to share an up close and personal look at today's Air Force. The way the Officers interacted with your family was impressive. Thank you for showing us this encounter.
Carson I have no doubt you will make your dreams come true. I'm an army mom some advice take extra shifts, stay on base and in two years buy a home near base and rent it out and you will always have an income. Study hard and write your mom when your in basic you will need her love. : ) peace
Great Video ! Thanks for showcasing some of the best parts about our USAF and San Antonio!
Awesome video! My son is going into his Firstie year (senior) at the United States Naval Academy. It has been an amazing ride. He also wants to be a pilot. He can choose Navy or Marines.
I have mad respect for anyone that wants to serve our country.
Cool video. Aviation,fix it stuff!!
Meet ups. 😎
Another great video. I was stationed at Randolph AFB in the early 90's and I retired at Lackland in 2004. Best time of my life. Thank you for bringing back some great memories.
Being a Retired US Navy Petty Officer who was in the Aviation side of the Navy. Anyway, I was stationed at NAS Corpus Christi and NAS Beeville in South Texas. My Uncle got his wings at Randolph back in the 50's. My grandfather was in the Army Air Corp, then US Air Force. He was killied the 3rd day of the Korean War. My dad was in the Army, stationed in Tokyo at Generals Headquarters Far East Command during the Korean War. That is where my parents met. My Grandfather was the head of airlift transportation for General MacArthur.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I had to make several trips to San Antonio to Randolph, Lackland, and Kelly Field during my time in South Texas. Those bases hold onto my heart as well as Corpus Christi, Beeville, and Kingsville.
Forgot to mention, I served 20 yrs in the Navy, my son was smart and joined the Air Force. He served 21 years.
Great video, pleased to see your son is interested in the military, i was a combat medic in the early 70s and was proud to do it. see ya.
Fellow Veteran Thank You for Serving .
🇺🇸 This is a great opportunity for young people these days. Our daughter ships to Navy boot camp in 2 months and we are super proud. If I had to do over again I would skip college and start in the US armed forces, the benefits and options are amazing. Good for Carson!
My stepson joined CAP and spent his junior and senior years of high school in Air Force ROTC. He started flight training with the Cessna 180 (full glass cockpit) in December of 2011 and received his Private Pilot 5 days after graduating high school in May of 2012. He started Louisiana Tech University in the summer of 2012 and over the next 2 1/2 years got his degree in Professional Aviation. He spent 2 years teaching other students to fly and then was hired by SkyWest Air in the spring of 2018. Aviation is MOST DEFINITELY an obtainable goal... and it gets the kids off of the Bank of Dad.
Our sons were at Tech at the same time!!!! Mine flies for American PSA now and is about to go to Captain. Time "flies" doesn't it??!!!
@@wallyjordan5060 It certainly does fly. Ours is about to go Captain, too.
Oh that was funny! Tricia, you are such a good sport! I would not have even tried!
Just like Indiana Jones, Trish: "Fly, yes. Land, no!" 😆 High five for the try! 🖐
Awesome opportunity for Carson!!
Rewatching this video realizing Airstream Zack was first Airforce Zack?!?! 😮❤
Search hose saver on wholesale RV parts to find a solution to your hose connections problem. It's a 45, or 90 degree hose connection. I've had one for years, working great.
Hope you get good Texmex in San Antonio. I am glad you got to experience this with your son. Sharing my Army AIT graduation with my family was one of the most memorable experiences of my young adult life.
What a great opportunity for Carson! Another great video!
Just a suggestion for the next time you guys head through Georgia. It might be worth going by Ft Benning, GA. There is a campground nearby (on the military reservation, off the installation, and the National Infantry Museum is there. Its the Fort that trains all the US Army's Infantrymen and Tankers, Ranger School is there, Airborne School, etc. but the Museum is amazing
Thanks for the plug for C.A.P! I was a cadet and in AFJrROTC. Great programs!
Visit the sun n'fun in Lakeland, Florida. Rvers galore every April. 2nd largest airshow in the country. Blue angels and Thunderbirds rotate every year, but we always get one or the other. Also many educational opportunities out there for those looking to get into aviation. One of the big schools is Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. Just a FYI.
I use the elbow mentioned below, and then hose quick-connects - it makes it a lot easier!
When I was in the Marine Corps, I was a maintainer for the KC-130J and had the chance to fly the simulator once. I crashed multiple times, so dont feel too bad Trish.
T6 Super Tacano.
Way too go guys on your simulator. Trisha, stick to being a great person just don't pilot a plane. 😁
2019 looks like a great year for the KYD groupies, keep up the great videos and keep the rubber on the road.
Enjoyed the visit to the AFB. Great simulators. Leave it to the Zoomies to have the tech. The AF would be a great career. I like how supportive you are as a family. Sorry about the fridge. Hate when you do your fix and it doesn’t work. Sure it wasn’t cheap either.
Most of these comments are nice. Every one loves KYD videos.
This is the best community on RUclips!
My husband is in the Air Force. This is so neat! It’s amazing you guys got to experience this.
The Wright Birthers fact: I did not know this about Randolph AFB!! 😱😱
I love that he has the opportunities thanks to you guys and the community! It’s amazing and really such a great career choice, if he continues to pursue it!
Oh my gosh! I watch them too!! 💕💕
The boys are getting tall! Time for them to start rowing. Maybe that could be one of your stops in one of your destinations. Learn to row programs all across the United States! KYD 154 - Fantastic episode! Unique, interesting and another bucket list item for the books. Really looking forward to Season 7! T-shirt is ordered and ready for our trek through BC this summer!
LOL Trish your awesome for giving it a try. The whole ordeal looked like so much fun. Wow what a great thing to be exposed to. Love watching it all!
Great video. My husband is retired from the Air Force. Good luck Carson!
What a fun video, especially since I was a T-38 instructor pilot at Webb AFB where I got my wings in class 68F, and I went to Randolph for a ground instructor class. Our simulators had no outside visual; didn't see those until starting to fly with Delta in 1972. Simulators now save time, money and lives! You will always cherish a tour in the USAF! Now, about washing Ginger.... :)
On your wet bay, get a brass 90 degree elbow and some hose quick disconnects (works like an air hose). They wear out after a year or so, but they make connecting and disconnecting very easy. No more screwing...
Great video and what a great chance for your boys to tour this base. Go Air Force
Trish sounded like Mrs Doubtfire saying hello LOL
My uncle used to be the commander of the training squadron at Randolph in the mid 2000s. Make sure when you visit Alabama you stop at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery because that's where the officer training happens! Civil Air Patrol is also headquarted there. If Carson can't get into the Air Force Academy, The University of Alabama has an incredible AF-ROTC program and an aerospace engineering major with close proximity to Columbus AFB in Mississippi, where there's also a pilot training program.
I would join the Air Force again if I was not so dam old.Good luck Carson.
Another great video. The tour of the AFB was super cool. My son was in the Navy for 6 years as an intelligence specialist. He traveled all over the world. If he had advice for Carson it would be go to the Air Force. They treat their people the best.
Awesome episode, great to see our future military getting so STOKED!!! Live-Life-Loud!!!
FRUSTRATED... that I have to wait another week 🤣 Keep up the great videos. Happy Easter.
Saw Trish and Caleb today, we waved from the big white Shamu van at dfwc! Nice to see you! We did Epcot today....Animal Kindgom tmrw, hope to see you! Thanks for your hard work!!
Nice! We're waving back!
... Thanks for the video !!... very informative & much appreciated.. & don't forget to Thank your son for his service ; )
Go Air Force!!!
This video is super cool!! I know about CAP. My husband was in it and now on the wing staff side.
I got to live on Randolph AFB for four years while in Jr High and High school. Beautiful base. I can’t believe you guys were in town and at the Pearl and we didn’t know. We love the Pearl!
Great video again. I took a boss lift to Texas once. We visited 5 bases. Tons of fun. When they heard I was a helicopter pilot, they had me fly a C-5 simulator. That was awesome. I also had 2 friends kids go through Air Force Academy. I highly recommend it if Carson can get in.
We just had that same road conversation! 18-wheeler behind us flashing lights - we pull over, but find nothing???? Maybe we were just too slow? hahaha... I still don't know! Maybe we should all have flash cards???? That would make it easier! RV flash cards!
