I want to thank all of you folks that took the time to write wonderful comments to me. A special thanks to me main man Lewdix for putting up with my antics in his office space. You put together an awesomely entertaining and informative video. Without you pilots, I don't have a job. I control with a pilots perspective in mind, always striving to provide safe, orderly, and expeditious service to my pilots. Thank you all and continya to fly safe.
I cannot express in words how much I loved this video!! So much fun to see the face behind the controller we've been hearing for so long. And to hear Andrew on the other end thinking "holy crap this is what it's like talking to this guy". I frocking loved this one thoroughly
@@LewDixAviation Every time I've seen a new lewdix upload for the past several months I've been hoping it's this one. I got so excited this morning when it actually was!
Such a big fan of Murph, easily the friendliest/one of the friendliest controllers out there that really helps students pilots. I was a student pilot for 2+ years due to my age at the time and he was always calm and patient with me.
Love this vid! What a character Murph is! I almost spat out my drink when he gave the tower the middle finger on departure haha! Really respect controllers like Murph that keep us safe with a calm demeanour and understanding for newer pilots. Thanks Lewdix and Murph for a great vid! I give permission for repeat appearances by Murph haha
Les, thank you for your appreciation for what I do. Means a lot to me. I control with a pilots perspective in mind. Gotta take care of my pilots and I love providing the best service I can.
Great to see a controller out there working their way to CFI! That should make an awesome instructor, and controller!I love that you are having so much fun, but still have the serious attitude for safety!
Even as a cfi myself it’s sometimes hard to imagine a controller being able to have a good time and cut up. I understand they have to be serious, clear, and concise when they are on the clock. However it’s nice to see them like this. Awesome video!
...And I thought Lewdix had charisma! Murph isn't just talk either, landings were great, as was the trash talk! 11:05, looking and talking to Lewis...while in a fully controlled coordinated turn. 15:50 falling leaf stall? Murph has great coordination. Beautiful. Kudos Murph!
So awesome to put a face to the voice I’m talking to at work every week! The controllers at exec are the BEST. Murph cracks my students and I up every time. He turns the heat down in an otherwise very stressful environment. A couple of weeks ago there was a disabled aircraft on the runway and Murph handled it like such a calm, cool, and collected boss!
hahaha! I love this video for three reasons: 1) A pilot so skillful, the plane refuses to stall. 2) "Whippin' out my pastels!" hilarious! 3) The banjo is back! I missed the banjo track.
LewDix I am a long long time fan of your videos. Your videos helped me with my commercial single checkride . I passed my private 3 years ago, then knocked out my instrument in February, commercial single in June (thanks to your awesome videos and Kings and my awesome instructors) then my commercial multi in October, and got my high performance and complex endorsement as well as starting to be checked out in a Turbo Aztec . I am thinking about starting CFI and going to CFII and MEI after that, have about 510 hours now. Your videos on CFI training are very helpful. Your channel is always entertaining and Murph is such a cool and awesome pilot and controlled. I would love to fly in his airspace one day!
@@LewDixAviation you are welcome and thank you! I would love to meet you and fly with you one day. I just subscribed to your channel and wish you all the best!
By far my favorite video you’ve posted. Murph is f***en hilarious! I spit coffee all over the table at my flight school when he flipped off his coworkers in the tower 🤣🤣. “Morning mess!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
We have a great affinity for each other in the tower. You should hear our conversations between transmissions. Similar to the barber scenes in the movie Coming to America. Sentences can not be completed without profanity. Hehehe
@@baldassassin1 gotta have fun at work. Only way to stay sane. I have a huge amount of respect for controllers especially ones like you that take that time to help out not only us student pilots but all pilots. Plus like you said it calms our nerves when you can have some fun but still play by the rules. You all rock! I fly out of northern New Jersey and we have some controllers that people are scared to death of and others you can chat with all day or night haha. I hope lewdix has you as a guest on his channel again!
So cool to see Murph in the cockpit! The way he manages traffic at a busy airport with such a cool, calm demeanor is incredible. Great video as always Lewis!
Thank you, Matt. I learned long ago when I was a wee lad learning to fly that you have to adhere to the ABCs. A kick-ass instructor told me to "Always Be Cool." That philosophy has always stuck with me, and I've incorporated that mindset when I control and teach new controllers.
Mistake to watch this while eating lunch. Had to clean my screen to type this after spit laughing all over it at Murf's readback at 04:20 🤠. Thank you both, you made my Monday!!!😂
Lewis, I just gave my first ever dual given time. I was watching your videos a lot leading up to it to get over some of the nervousness. Now that I've experienced it, it's not so bad!
Don't have to go to the gym today after seeing this Vid, laughed a lot. Wish all controllers had a bit more sense of humor. Murph is super cool but what will happen when you put a super serious controller in your plane, wondering if you can lighten him/her up! Ask him/her what they find most anoying about pilots and communication with controllers.
Finally we are able to put a face to this amazing voice at KORL. I was super nervous my first time at KORL and you sir even said the magic words: “welcome to executive we’ll take care of you sir”. You are an Angel. Thank you for what you do.
Loved the video - made me appreciate how much better you fly if you're relaxed on the controls. Also loved the hat, obviously multi skilled in being a diver as well!!
I think a unique requirement during training that could be helpful to the entire aviation community (safety wise) would be requiring an ATC controller to ride along with a flight instructor in the traffic pattern for a couple of hours to really grasp the concept better and to better understand what pilots deal with while flying in the pattern. Really would be a good idea imo.
We have a familiarization flights program for air traffic controllers. We are encouraged to fly with local pilots and the airlines to experience the other side of the house so to speak. Like any govt program there is a lot of red tape that is a pain in the arse.
At ORL pre-Covid, we solicit the pilots and students to come visit the tower. It is very helpful when pilots and controllers have a constructive dialogue back and forth concerning flight ops. Unfortunately, due to Covid we are not doing tower tours. I'll put word on the street when we can.
Yes!!! This is the guy I said sounded like Mr Rogers in the previous video!!! Would be awesome to do a video seeing his work/perspective from the tower!
@@baldassassin1 I've seen short news clips about what the tower does. They usually are brief and not very informative. I'm sure, under the right conditions with enough oversight, cameras would be allowed.
OMG i loed this video you need to bring him back un related to this video i flew my 152 today and i practice what you preach keeping it at 65 i nailed it today in the pattern love how you teach but dont teach in your videos keep it up man love to have a lesson with you unfortunately im in northern illinois im getting serious working towards my instrument
The man the myth the legend now I have face for that great voice from the tower. Murph you made my training at Orlando Exe a true pleasure I love to hear your voice. you truly painted a picture in the sky for me as a student pilot and you had no problem repeating radio calls when you knew i didn’t understand. My funniest Murph moment was a temperature inversion had occurred and I was picking up radio transmissions from Tallahassee exec TOWER and had gotten confused in the pattern my CFI Joe said listen for Murph. 734QA..
It's my pleasure, Richard. I love what I do, and I am happy that you enjoy your flying experience here. Thank you for your appreciation. Talk to you on the airwaves sir.
Not only did I laugh all the way through this, but I couldn't help think that there was some poor transient pilot coming through Exec and hearing these radio calls that had no clue what was going on, and thinking he was in the wrong place! 🤣🤣🤣
@@LewDixAviation I'm sorry, but I've just got an image of the two of you, both in dungarees, galloping down 07 waiting eagerly for Vy, with the donkey constantly shouting "eeeeee-awwwwww"! 😂 Oh christ. It's stupid 😂

from the part time Chopper 2 pilot, thanks Murph for all you do and the way you do it!
I love Murph.... His radio work is great... He is so funny...I can learn from him... The radio is so natural to him.
Muchos Grassias

Thank you Dylan. Did we meet in the tower?
tell murph his slow talking really does help us… he helps me all the time
Slow is fast. Repeating comms or confusion degrades efficiency and expeditious flow of traffic.
@@baldassassin1 thanks murph :) you were there for my checkride and first solo even though you don’t know it. i appreciate you!
Anytime my man. That's my job to take care of all of y'all@@nolanbennett2734
I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I hope Murph becomes a regular guest on the show.
Glad to hear!

Great to see a controller out there working their way to CFI! That should make an awesome instructor, and controller!I love that you are having so much fun, but still have the serious attitude for safety!
Been a long time coming. One of my career options with retirement coming up.
We all need more Murph in our lives! That noise he made on the falling leaf stall needs to be a new ring tone. Thank you for the laughs, again!
Even as a cfi myself it’s sometimes hard to imagine a controller being able to have a good time and cut up. I understand they have to be serious, clear, and concise when they are on the clock. However it’s nice to see them like this. Awesome video!
Shows a more human element, as they are after all….. er….. humans…. I should be a philosopher

Nice to put a face to the voice on the other side of the comms, for the record your slow tempo is helpful as a student pilot. Thanks for looking out!

Thanks for sending me this, totally made my day.
Muchos grassias Joel. I'll put word on the street when we have Tower tours again. Thank you for your comment.

My favourite flight instructor
Made my night!!!! Used to live in Apopka and flew outa ORL (Air Orlando). Ya'll hillarious!
Don't have to go to the gym today after seeing this Vid, laughed a lot. Wish all controllers had a bit more sense of humor. Murph is super cool but what will happen when you put a super serious controller in your plane, wondering if you can lighten him/her up!

I'm telling you, fun ATC vids are the best. Not even a close second.
The muff diver hat 😂😂😂😂
"muff diver down" hat... want one!
This is it!!! A bit of slack in life. Video is fantastic. :-)
This was so worth waiting for. Just watched it 2 times in a row. What a character, skilled controller and pilot. Kudos Murph
Haha fantastic, thank you
I appreciate ya Ben. Thank you. And thank Lewdix for putting up with me in his office space.
This was great! I have an idea...have him take you up to the tower to do a video!
Unable Lonememe. That would be great, but no pics or videos are allowed in the tower.
Too cool!!! please have that young man back soon.
That was an awesome video, keep it up LewDix, rockin' it
the entire thing was a kick in the butt, the icing on the cake being the hat LMAO
😆
This traffic controller guy was very entertaining... should have him again.
He'll be back!
He can talk the talk and walk the walk!! Fantastic landings!! With arms like that should be able to hold the flare 😀.
Finally we are able to put a face to this amazing voice at KORL. I was super nervous my first time at KORL and you sir even said the magic words: “welcome to executive we’ll take care of you sir”. You are an Angel. Thank you for what you do.
You're very welcome sir. I aim to please.
Only person on RUclips I don't mind watching sponsored sections for. Another fantastic vid m8, cheers.
Thank you mate! Sponsors pay the bills and stock my fridge, but thanks for sticking through them!
Great video Lewis! That guy is a legend!
Thanks man!
Brilliant! Loved every minute!!
I love murph! He’s always so nice!
It's all about providing quality customer service. I am here for you folks.
I soooo loved this video. It’s great to see a controller take the wheel… and do fantastic!
Good stuff! Got some good laughs. Digging the diver down hat too 😁
one of my favs.
Great video! It is nice to have an ATCs point of view on things.
This guy is awesome. He is going to be hella CFI. This guy has got it.
Haha
This video is hilarious HAHAHAHA... I was laughing so hard at 10:20
😂
Sweet landings...you got to love it!
Haha....brilliant, so much fun Lew😂
Loved the video - made me appreciate how much better you fly if you're relaxed on the controls. Also loved the hat, obviously multi skilled in being a diver as well!!
Skillz
Ohhhhhh the best laugh of the week!
Always a welcomed voice to hear coming back into KORL! Loved the hat too hahaha

So awesome to see a Controller with a sense of Humor!!!!

OK - that guy was funny, and a good pilot too! thanks for sharing.

Absolutely!
Got to bring the A game at 8am....there's no stopping the bum rush

So fun!
Those landings had so much butter I can feel my arteries clogging just watching them.

Such an awesome controlling voice..wish we had him out in Socal airspace
