I’m a Delta Airlines mechanic, not a pilot. But an airplane nut. Literally my favorite show to listen to every week! Keep it up guys.
Oh yeah, because of the delta thing, do you think I should buy a Porsche or a mustang? 😂 to be honest I’m more of a Z06 guy, so I’m honestly torn lol.
Thanks Ben!
I don't even work in aviation. I just love that we can mess with physics in astounding machines piloted by people with a mindset that is less and less rewarded these days. Still my fave podcast.
Agreed!
3:22 A Mr. Marks, callsign: SKID talks about of protecting freedom "from behind"! Excellent!
Being a Catholic and a man of faith, we do what we can do. I fail a lot, but that is why we call it faith. Being a retired Army officer and now an Engineer with 20 years in business I understand missed opportunities. I thrive on faith. When one door closes, another one opens.
I am sorry for your loss, Skid. Those pilots who work fire are some of the bravest. And we have lost quite a few of them.
Vol. Firefightere here (second responder*) actually had a wildland fire so big and out of control that we called in air tankers, and they brought two air tractors. Videos on my channel :D
Where
So very sad about Jeff Kuss.Thank you all for taking time to.honor him
Great to see Skid again on the channel. Thanks for honoring Kuss, was just in Smyrna at his memorial site and saw a rainbow. Glad you all could pull this off remotely.
As a retired Army guy, you guys are scaring the hell out of me. I use drones in my company for land surveying. The 107 certifications are not hard to get. We use LiDar to do topographic work. Now drones are killing drones and soldiers. Tough world we are living in.
Totally agree with the MHM, many of us have had one of those crap jobs we hate or a crap boss who treated you like dirt but that job maybe just what you need to really appreciate the good ones and not take them for granted.
The Blue Angel memorial for Kooch in Smyrna is really well put together. The jet overlooks the airport and is lit up at night. There are pictures and plaques with Captain Kuss on them and there’s also a Blue Angel playground nearby.
Good Advice at the end 'Comparison being the thief joy', 'Forged in the fire of adversity',
Loved that new perspectives about the Saab. The whole thing now makes much more sence.
Gonky: "I've never seen operational harriers..." me, in midland texas, watching 6 AV8B's make 2 passes and approach Midland Air and Space port. Filmed it, too. I was lucky.
Skids was a great guest. Awesome job as always gentlemen. Missed seeing Ms Luna
I have buddies who watched Kuss crash. I did my PPL training at Smyrna so I flew over his crash site all the time. For the air show when the Blues came back someone cut their field in the number 6 off of runway 32.
I attended the air show and practices in Smyna. Really sad day.
24:24 All of my condolences...
As always an absolute banger of a show, well done all
Yes! Higher Call needs to be a movie!
The firefighting world is really dangerous.. recently i listened a podcast special ep about firefighting and they had this pilot who recently retired and had been flying firefighting for 30 years flying Airtractors and Dromaders.. he told 50 people that he knew personally died in firefighting ops related accidents , and another 30 more he didnt personally knew died in the same operations he was flying .. he had to drop water over the burning wreck of crashed planes/helicopters more than once and even they had to put armor in the air tractors cause they got shot at in south america by farmers..
Great show, Gents! Your MHM hit home for me.
Thank you JB!
Yay! Fire aviation gets a shout out?! 😜 Helicopters are way cooler! 🥰 (We fly 212's and 412's on fires here in Australia)
Gonky, what's your secret to getting time off from May until the middle of June? Great show tonight, appreciate the laughs. Are you going to be flying that cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong when you get back? Lol 📦⁉️😂
Over 42,514 people across the U.S. died in traffic accidents in 2022 vs 358 people in civil aviation mishaps in 2022 and zero fatal mishaps involving passenger jet aircraft in 2023. The overselling, overcrowding constant growth model will absolutely lead to serious mishaps.
I test my sound system with U-571. 😁
Damn it! First time Skid is on since 2021 and I missed it!! :( Sometimes having a job sucks lol.
alright forget how Gonky got his Skids sir you have greatest call . Thank You All for Your Service !
Talking about size of planes on domestic routes, I recall that when I lived in Japan in the early 80s, between JAL and ANA, there were about twelve 747s per day between Sapporo (Chitose) and Tokyo. There were also a couple of A300s from the domestic airline TDA.
On the MHM, I s strife with losing my pilot slot in ROTC for a while but after going a different route in the AF I've been able to slowly reconcile and mentor junior officers and enlisted members asking the way.
May not be the path I wanted but it's the path someone else needed.
Another great video with a great guest. Thank you!
@50:00 I swore mover was going to say replace the AF1 with a 2 seat viper lol
I was fortunate enough to watch the last Harrier Demo at the MCAS Cheery Point airshow a few weeks back. It was pretty impressive to watch. Having said that, I don't really see the need for a 5th gen VSTOL aircraft. I have a hard time imagining a $100 million dollar stealth flying computer operating from anything else but a very secure, very manicured, MAYBE slightly shorter runway.
Blows my mind that Saab but the Draken in the air in the 50's
Those small (Group 2) "drones" can be more capable than you think. Some are just basic EO platforms for building SA. But that's so 10 years ago. Modern capabilities include generating Cat I coordinates, laser designation fur buddy lasing, SIGINT, EW, and kinetic options among other things. They can even join tactical networks like Link 16 to share their targeting info with other platforms. They can do this and have persistence over the battlefield. Some of them can be air launched to get into remote or "tricky" places to get eyes and ears below the weather and from a standoff. And comms and GNSS are now being hardened. Lots of AI and edge processing going into these things, too.
Well done, Skid is a great guest. Now nearing the first anniversary of the show. Is there anything planned?
Jeff Kuss’ crash was THE SAME DAY as the Thunderbirds incident. That was what was crazy about it.
Tom Cruise is working on a movie that is going to shoot scenes on the International Space Station.
I can't imagine doing an expense report on $8M worth of stuff...
LOL!
Wow gonky really didn't like that.
Man it would sure be a shame if people photoshop him sitting in more embarrassing aircraft
I worked with THOR for a short while in 2019 at CO FIRE AVIATION. He was a good dude
Gonky can't see the utility in a fighter jet that does not need a runway ? 🤔🤔
Not when as a design it totally ruins the A and C model. It's a complicated expensive and minimally effective weapon.
@@themoverandgonkyshow Fair point but what do you do if your airfield's have been wasted and or you have none to use ie island hopping / asset dispersal , would a F35B not come in handy then ?
@@themoverandgonkyshow ps I'm not debating , and I appreciate your response and you're yt channel 👌👌
What is it with fighter pilots racing motor bikes. I quit the track when I turned 70. A man’s got to know his limitations.

Actually the drone following max verstappen was full throttle although it was rainy... Awesome footage.. But as far as the topic is concerned.. Drones are scary as h8k. I can imagine they are very hard to track. Not sure how to prevent seriously bad stuff with these.
Banning drone traffic in urban or key areas and a way to track them and bring them down is one thing.
When SKID rode on Air Force One, do they, like a movie theater, take a roll of all the active pilots on board, just in case? 😎😇
does the drone pilots now put stickers on their controllers to document their drone to drone kills? how long before we have our first drone ace.
Right, it looks good for a drone lol
Amy just had too much candy....
Skid's comment that DCA was all Congress flying kind of gives me some mixed emotions about worrying about collisions 🤔🤣 (for legal reasons this is a joke)
LOL!
Did the F35 auto trim again and continue flying after ejection like the one in SC?
i bet Skid can land a plane with his eyes closed
You know when you are doing the recaptca here’s a bus, here’s a truck. You are providing data sets for machine learning. Teaching AI how to identify objects.
Potomac Tower, this is American. Possible controller deviation. Let me know when you're ready to copy a number.
Hot looking pilot
1:56:00 Mover makes the perfect case for U.S. high speed rail investment and transportation infrastructure 'fleet' diversity. The one more lane road ephilosophy never worked and only creates induced demand making traffic worse. Movers description of airlines overselling flights at cheaper prices effectively creates the same situation. There are many U.S. flights to cities in close proximity to eachother that have no rail service of any kind. The U.S. is facing the consequences of exceedingly poor infrastructure planning and execution policies of cae centric post war suburban expansionism. Remember Americans are spending hundreds of billions every year on road maintenance alone....
Meanwhile airlines keep getting bailouts of tens of billions every few years despite consistently worsening buisiness practices, increasing executive payouts and airport infrastructure crowding with less capability to expand due to suburban expansionism and the insane cost of U.S. infrastructure maintenance in 2024. Capitalism sure is workin 😂
I think it is a DC-10 which is the best handling huge sky pig out there.
Fire fighting can be nasty stuff.
