I forgot to mention the bracelet did say "Seven Four" but he was a bit confused it wasn't really clear until I explained why. I forgot to talk about it I was a bit distracted getting to the plane...
Sorry to report. The bracelet actually said "fake pilot". hahahah Seriously I've lived in Korea for years and most Koreans are so warm and welcoming, I would say more curious about foreigners than other Asian countries. I've never been to T2 at ICN but that was a great insight into the terminal. Happy travels 감사합니다. (Gam-sa-ham-ni-da)= Thank you
I hope you landed well and are safe... I love your content, and appreciate the ability to enjoy it along with you! If you ever want or need an assistant, please reach out. I love flying (as a passenger, I'm not a pilot).. but I haven't been able to since I left my previous employer. I'd much enjoy taking to the skies again! Any opportunities that you know of or that could be coming up?
Off subject but .... I just saw my first dreamlifter land in pinal airpark. Was wondering if you’ve ever landed at pinal , I’ve heard it’s a short runway for a 747
@@racerdude7149 if it’s landing at Pinal Airpark, it may be going for long term storage. One of the others (N780BA) was moved there last year. I’d expect the takeoff and landing minimums are much shorter than usual since there would be no cargo and limited fuel.

Great to see you having a great time in my country (well, part of my country). As a high schooler currently studying to be a pilot, your videos have inspired me a lot.
ya I generally have a great time in Korea especially when its warmer outside.
@@74gear well youre gonna love our may weather.
@@74gear About 20 years ago, I was stationed in Korea, I, likewise, had a blast. 😁
@@74gear .....and there was me thinking Eddie Murphy was in the 48 Hours movie ;-)
Please don’t ignore tower transmission. Koreans have a bad reputation about that.
Kelsey thank for posting the video, I am 79 years old. I always enjoy all watching your RUclips Videos, I also enjoy Mentour’s videos. I have been following you for several years now. Of course my favorite air plane of all time is the 747, been lucky enough to fly from California to Hawaii several times on a United Airlines 747. Some 30 plus years ago, once my wife and I flew 1st Class for SFO to Honolulu. That was quite a experience to do it once. Now about this video on South Korea, in 1966-1967 I served 13 month tour along the DMZ with the United States Army. Back then I flew on a 707 Northwest Orient from SeaTac, to Alaska, to Tokyo Japan, and finally to Kimpo Air Force in Korea. All I can say, “Wow has South Korea changed since then.
Korean has 2 counting systems. One is Native Korean (7 = 일곱 (ilgob) 4= 넷 (net)) and the other is Sino Korean (Chinese influence) (7= 칠 (chil) 4= 사 (sa)). But as you mentioned, Hangul can be used phonetically to write words in other languages. 세븐 포 (se beun po) is what she wrote out for you.
I've been through Incheon airport a few times as a stop on the way to Hong Kong. It's probably the cleanest, shiniest airport I've ever seen, as if it was built yesterday. They love to show off Korean TVs and other products, and my cell phone never had better service. I eventually extended one of my layovers so I could spend a week in Seoul and it was wonderful. This was pre-Covid so I didn't have the quarantine issue.
Incheon is easily the fanciest airport I've personally been through anywhere. (Mind you, I've not been to Singapore yet.) I loved the little culture museum, the travelers rest, the huge two story mall . . . it was an experience. I confess, I love all airports. (Or nearly all. Even LaGuardia.) But Incheon was definitely special.
It’s a really nice airport. I’ve been there 6 times (holdovers or outgoing). Japan’s Narita is really good too (been there 3 times).
@@user-wi3yx3gy2o Agreed. Narita is also a very nice airport. I've been there twice now, I think. Last time I was there there in early 2020 there was a huge construction project ongoing, so it was a bit of a mess, but I expect once that's done it'll be even better than ever. Hong Kong is impressive too and Shanghai's new terminal is fairly shiny. But I do have a soft spot for Incheon.
I purposely route through that airport in Korea on the way to Philippines, it's the nicest airport I have ever been in. The showers are especially appreciated. 🚿
I don't remember Incheon airport looking like this!! I was there in 2008 and what I remember most were the ROK soldiers patrolling the airport. The USO was my savoir there, since my phone didn't work there! Their train/subway system is amazing. Beautiful country and lovely people!
Speaking of Stella: WHEN are you two going to collaborate again and make videos??? She's hilarious, and your chemistry together is pure dynamite!
I can think of a much better collaboration.
Dynamite can prove to be a problem at security, though.
@@haiwatigere6202 surely you jest
@@haiwatigere6202 I am pretty sure they started that other collaboration a while ago, and that they are still in the process of a long term collaboration.
@@MarkJoseph81 Yes, he jest. But don't call him Shirley
I love the reoccurring theme to this channel, "pilots love free things".
Nice. I would say this airports beats all of the ones I've been so far.
Kelsey, yes that’s what it means. They did 74 phonetically in Korean. I lived there five times and have been married to my lovely Korean wife for 33 years. Inchon is a terrific airport o get stuck at..
Inchon is great. I love the limo bus and the train to Seoul station
South Korea is a beautiful country. Spent a year living there and I definitely miss it! The people, culture, food, it’s all amazing.
Stella on keychain choices..."I want them all!!" Love it! haha I liked the robots, too.
I'm from Republic of Korea. As Korean thanks a lot for showing my country. This 48 hours journey was short but you showed inside of Inchoen Airport a lot. I think this video will be great opportunity to introduce Republic of Korea. When you have chance to stay in Korea again, I hope you have more good memory and enjoy a lot in Korea~
I really like seeing quiet, less goofy and/or less technical Kelsey now and then. This was a *great* video. BTW, I'll be visiting a friend of my parents who used to be a hot shot at Eastern soon. I can't wait to hear some of his stories - and understand them better with my new aviation knowledge - and drop a little 'Keep the blue side up" as I say good bye. 😊😉
Ya the goofy is a bit annoying
For someone that's never left the UK just seeing a foreign airport was fascinating 😍
Don't feel trapped on that island bro 😂
I’m guessing you voted Brexit. How’s that working out? 😂
@@VegasMilgauss It isn't by choice that I haven't left the UK 😂😂 it's something I'm getting around to doing, I'm scared of flying.. or I'm scared of having a panic attack whilst flying 🙄😳😳
03:00 dude is killing it with his CVS receipt!
Seoul Incheon International Airport. I've ben here many times. My favorite Airport in the entire world. Love your channel!
Loved the vlog! I stayed in the same hotel a while back… I thought it was pretty nice too. Not bad for a transit room. Cheers from Bali!
ya its not bad really, I didn't think I would like it but great to not worry about sun coming in when you want to sleep in.
@@74gear when I go on cruises I always get an inboard cabin for the same reason. Gotta get plenty of rest so I don't miss any of the buffets!
this was really fun to watch :) at one point you mentioned how it feels very different being in the airport without your uniform, i wanted to ask if you could eloborate on it a little bit, like is it nicer without a uniform or? cause whenever i see the pilots walking around in the airport im like wow they really are the coolest looking people in the whole place. there can be people spend thousands on designers clothes in the airpoprt and they dont look anywhere near as cool to me as the pilots simply wearing their uniform. anyways thanks for the great content Kelsey
I get this a lot. Office smart clothing with badge and instantly recognisable company lanyard + raybans aviators, vs badge tucked under casual clothes. The difference in behaviour from other people is extremely noticeable.
Try it some day if you can, maximum smart with white shirt + silk colourful tie + black trousers + smart coat + smart shoes, versus jeans and hoodie. People look at you vs people look through you, very obvious.
well there are two things.
1. sometimes people ask you questions about the airport and get out of your way when you are walking. not necessarily out of respect but more because they think you have somewhere to be in a hurry.
2. other pilots give you “the nod” when you walk by. it’s something i didn’t experience till i was an airline pilot but 90% of the other pilots you pass give you the nod. it’s like a little club.
I think anyone in uniform looks cool, but that's just me. I work at UPS Worldport in Louisville, KY. We have a cafeteria in the same building where flight crew get picked up or dropped off. At certain times of the night, there could be several pilots in uniform grabbing food in the caf. To other people, seeing pilots five nights a week might get old quick, but I always give them second looks. They just look neat. Lol
@@Winglets68 Oh good, I’m glad someone else asked and there were answers. One thing didn’t surprise me, the other did. I can understand people looking at uniformed pilots for a moment longer than usual if they don’t fly often so it’s basically seeing something you’re not used to and taking a moment longer to process it. Getting out of a pilot’s way is also something I would do as a matter of courtesy, but that would apply equally to all staff. Similar to getting out of the way of staff at a hospital.
But asking questions about the airport? That’s where I differ I suppose. I’ve got no idea if pilots would actually know the entire layout of whatever airport we’d happen to be in. I sort of doubt it. But it wouldn’t make any difference anyway since if I were lost or something like that I’d look for someone who is specifically airport staff. That would seem like common sense to me.
Love the commitment to the cheeky nod & coming up, my favourite part
dude that drive to the plane was my favorite. airports are so flipin big, and you know exactly what we wanted...a slowed view of the double engined wing. i also still feel joy when proving what i say i do(i cannot touch what you get to do)(like ever). thanks mate
This was a lot of fun boss! I’ll definitely be an adult child and race karts with ya in a terminal 😂 It’s very refreshing to see someone make the best of a situation and not complain about it. There’s always an adventure to be had!
I was gonna say I’d race him too!! Haha. And I’m 63!
Thanks for sharing your 48 hours
Enjoyed this. It was like a mini version of The Terminal. I spent a few days in Korea and our hosts were very gracious.
Such a great vlog, I love Korea and my best friends name is Stella.
Kelsey, first I want to thank-you for showing me a glimpse of Korea. (Inside the airport.) I’ve never traveled out of the U.S. so this was great to see. What I love about your channel is you not only talk aviation but about your personal experiences. You are… from what I see… is a down to earth kinda guy. ( meant as a compliment!)
Well said!
(And pretty sure he's single Janet!)
I used to teach English in Korea. One day I walked into the teachers' room and there were three big Tupperware containers with food. I looked in and identified them aloud as best I could: "White stuff, fried stuff, and green stuff." My Korean supervisor said, "You'll like the green stuff." The green stuff looked like little patties made with forest green play-doh. I must have looked skeptical because my supervisor said, "I've been eating meals with you for almost a year. You'll like the green stuff." I did. I loved the green stuff. I ate a ton of it. When I went home I googled it to find out what it was.
The small private cram schools (hagwans) would feed you lunch. One day I came in and had my lunch before going to the teachers' room to do some work. Another foreign teacher came in and asked if I knew what lunch was. I said, "It's that fried tofu with the sauce on it and the green stuff that looks like grass clippings." My foreign co-worker said, "Oh! I love that stuff!" and headed off to have her lunch. The Korean co-teachers just sat there and laughed.
There's something to be said for eating things you can't identify. It takes a certain level of trust.
I have met quite a few SK people at work. They had me trying their own homeland noodles.
By Jove, these noodles are spicy, it's like being slapped with a dragon.
Soylent Green?
“So like, WHAT was the green stuff?!” I asked, waiting patiently for the climax that never came to a story that was funny to read, taught a lesson about trust, but left the plot completely unresolved and up in the air….😬😐🤨😅
Have mercy on your readership, oh great author of, “The Green Stuff: A true Story of Stuff that was Green”. 😂🤣
@@JonBoullion1020 green stuff.
Yeah I worked for hagwons that fed you - the first one even had a decent buffet!
First time I had kimchi I was like... eh... but now I can't get enough of it.
This video just shows how sometimes being a pilot can get very boring if you don't have something to keep you busy when not flying. Nice video.
6:11 Those round artsy (spun) chairs are supposedly expensive! There's a $400(a pop!) cheap version on Amazon. Korea is fancy.
One of the Dallas VIP lounges has about eight $10,000 Herman Miller Eames chairs. Beat to hell but they are there....
Kelsey! You are stinkin ADORABLE! This was so fun and so awesome to watch! Thank you for sharing it. Safe travels - XO
I love the contact name at 6:44 she must be a very good friend
Happy Easter from Juan Carlos!
Wish I was there. HE LIVES!
Fast flights and happy landings!
Good to see that the Korean airport treated you well (hopefully). Always enjoy your videos and this one was extra special because that's where I come from. Thanks always! -from Toronto, Canada
Anyone else notice that Kelsey explains things twice? Is this a pilot trait (picked up from training and procedural duties on the flight deck) or simply a Kelsey trait?
Excellent observation. Makes him a good pilot
@Tisha McDonald There is an old military proverb regarding equipment and training redundancy: "Two is one and one is none"
Fits the definition of mansplaining quite nicely!
First time it's his inner tower control and then he repeats to verify the message reached its destination correctly 😂
I noticed it a long while back. The comments about 'pilot habits and training' are valid but I think it's a "Kelseyism" as well. He is making (excellent) YT videos and more footage to work with is always a good thing.
Enjoyed this so much Kelsey. Brilliant vlog.
Love all your videos! They are always informative and I always learn something. Keep them coming and thank you for doing these videos!
Wow.
Such a beautiful, first class airport facility, with all the amenities and comfort of the top best in the planet.
Many years have passed since my last visit, and my admiration and appreciation to the good, hard working Korean people (and friends), remains. 🇰🇷🇺🇸
What an insanely cool job you have, Kelsey! Thank you for sharing a slice of it with us. 👍
Absolutely Amazing video. Thanks for bringing us along.
Awesome! Loved the video, you seem to enjoy yourself, which is great!
I'm actually kinda jealous. I love Korea and the airport looks just as amazing as the rest of the country. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
thought I would make the best of a unique situation, glad you enjoyed it!
well, if you visit korea you will probably change your mind. bad air quality (micro dust), low quality streets, trash bags everywhere, horrible smell almost everywhere, bad overpriced housing. horrible cable management, above the streets, missing regulations in the entertainment industry, lots of people there too lazy to learn english properly, extremely hot summers and extremely cold winters, idk but korea is really not my thing. the only reason i visit korea is because the person i truly love lives there and making her happy is what fulfills me
@@yoshtg I lived there for a year and a half 20 years ago. I know it's not all perfect, no country is, but I still love it.
@@JulietEcho its funny to see the priorities of most Koreans: they walk around with overpriced luxury brands, tons of makeup, plastic surgery and most Koreans are very handsome/beautiful but then their houses / streets etc. are all kinda neglected. I will go back to south korea soon, they told me no Quarantine since 1st April for all fully vaccinated people, so its weird to me that 74Gear had to go through Quarantine, maybe he isn't fully vaccinated? idk
@@JulietEcho I lived there from 1996-1999. I loved the people, the food and the country. Sure, it isn't the cleanest country in the world, but other things, especially the people make up for that in my opinion.
awesome video today, really enjoy this type of content (much more than the roasts, etc.)
I am always excited when you post a new Vlog! This one was fun! Thanks for sharing.
This video was awesome! You have such a great personality. love it
Oh, i love me a Kelsey vlog! Last year i was also stuff in an airport (Yul Montréal Trudeau) the whole day due to delays, i got to exploring and some shenanigans. I must say you had more fun than me though 😆I didn't end up editing that vlog because i always film too much and run out of time to edit, but i'm taking the same exact flight on July 1st and it's always a few days after arrival before i can put a video out, time to film edit etc so.... this motivated me to edit it in advance and upload it while we'll be flying! YAY! 💜
Such a renegade.
Seems silly that the carrier doesn't classify you as standby crew.
Bracelet actually reads: "destroyer of buffet"
Another great video, thanks and keep up the good work as we love you here in the uk
Happy Easter Kelsey! Thanks for the great videos!!
Can't believe you've gone to the effort of going all the way to Korea to maintain this pretense that you're a pilot. 😉
Yeah. Must be some super rich guy, with incredible connections, great acting ability, incredibly studious about aviation, airplanes, airports, piloting, etc. All just to have a RUclips channel. 🙄
What great timing lol ^^ I’ll be flying into Incheon as an exchange student next year and I’ve been trying to explore the airport as much as possible before I arrive since I’ve never flown alone before 😅
Thanks for the video. Nice shot of AC 777 near the start of your terminal tour.
Brilliant vid, love your style man!
Interesting! That handler though…he looks super official!! What a cool experience!
So I wasn't the only one who noticed the handler .... Lol
Taxi drivers wear suits in Korea......... most men do.
Yes … Handler=very official looking! And the route to the plane! Direct, I suppose but how would you ever have gotten there on your own! 😱
Did any of you guys pick up on why he needed a handler? I’m tired so I probably missed it.
Loved this vlog! I wonder what it must be like to be a handler, picking up pilots to take to their planes. And did you get Stella all those keychains?!?
Terrific!! Thanks, 74
One of your best videos. Loved every second of it and glad you made the most of your time there.
When I was flying, I love going into Korea and specially on tree and air that was a very good experience and I loved it
I was there last month, but got the downtown layover. Definitely one of my favorite places! I did feel kinda bad for the outbound crew, as they had to stay in the airport hotel, but I don't feel bad at all for them now!
Awesome VLOG, thanks for more behind the scenes views!
I always enjoy your vlogs 🙌🏼
Thats the only airport i ever spent time in where i wasnt ready to leave. I was amazed how beautiful that terminal was.
Oh wow, I also got stuck at incheon airport and stayed at that same hotel recently. I'm a touring musician and I landed there a day early cause of a booking mistake, and had to wait 20 hours for the rest of our crew and tour manager to arrive. It's a really nice looking airport. Def not a horrible place to be stuck at for a day or two
I love seeing those kind of videos. Really great video love it. Keep it up.
Hi Kelsey, always enjoy your videos mate! Looking at doing my PPL soon always find your uploads both entertaining and educational 😀🇳🇿
glad you are enjoying it Jordan, thanks for watching!
I liked that you did some arts and crafts 👍🏻 Did you find out if it really said 74 on your bracelet?
It is does sound-out as close to phonetically possible for a natural Korean speaker to mimic "seven four". Seh boone poh. I would be very confused if I read the bracelet.
Thank you for posting another VLog! I love watching your daily " routine " lol keep the videos coming... PLEASE!!!
I enjoyed watching you on a "sort of" days off. I enjoy watching your videos but good to see you take some time for yourself and relax.
Wonderful Vlog Mr. Kelsey. I must say - this pandemic has been terrible for hard of hearing/hearing-compromised people - you can usually consider context and lip movement when trying to understand people, but with the mask, no can do. I went to UPS to mail some hearing aids, thankfully the employee connected the dots and took off their mask (which was totally fine with me).
I get this! Except from a slightly different perspective. I'm blind and hard of hearing. Masks made people muffled and hard to understand. Ugh. I'm sorry it's been so hard for you and others who lip-read!
Sorry you were stuck, but I got to see a slice of life I might never see! Thanks for that!! Be safe…
Really enjoyed this, hopefully some of these quirky vlogs will become a regular occurrence. I really like the channel, always fun to watch.
I love your vlogs this one was quite enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your experience.
stuck 48h in this terminal? i could do plane spotting all day long 😀
I know these vlogs involve more work, but they really open up a whole new dimension to what we see in the life of an international pilot. Please keep producing!
You're awesome! I travel a lot and all of your videos are on point!
great vid as always Kelsey!
I got stuck in that airport about 9 years ago because the layover flight's destination had a hurricane in the area so they delayed it. I had to sleep on the airport floor along with many others then later on found a chair I could recline on next to some noisy playground. I remember taking a shower upstairs in some place I had to stand in line for. When it was about 4 hours to depart, I stood in a long ass line with a bunch of unhappy people and still wasn't going to make it to the front in time so I had to say something and skip the line with some other people so we wouldn't have to stay there another day.
So did @flywithstella get her keychains yet? 😂
Please make more vlogs like this! I love them!
I really liked this video, it was fun to watch thanks for sharing!
My father-in-law often flies Korean Air (via Incheon) when travelling from Asia to North America. When my son was young and saw the Korean Air logo, he wanted to know why Grampa was flying with Pepsi. 🤣
When I saw the Korean Air logo at 6:13, my first though was of the Pepsi Logo
In fact, I do understand differing Covid rules. As a passenger who's maybe visiting family or doing touristy things, it's presumed you'll disperse into the general.population at some point. As a crew member, you're not only an essential worker there for a very short stay but probably also too tired for sightseeing adventures or to go out partying---which would place you in contact with many more people, should you be contagious.
And I guess there are less crew than passengers. I imagine it would also affect supply of imports and the flow of exports if crew had to isolate every time they come in.
Dude you ROCK!!! Seoul is beautiful - wish you were out and about with some video..
Amazingly interesting and informative 74.! Thank you for caring and sharing with us...!
Fun fact: 75% of all country flags in the world uses the colours Red and White. Whilst 50% also uses Blue.
But only two use that Blue and Yellow in your bracelet. Sweden and of course, Ukraine.
💙💛
I came here to mention something like this.
💙💛
Except ISIS lol
@@jefar53 what?
Living "The Terminal" lifestyle. I've spent enough time in airports as a passenger (and outside them with my job) to know I do NOT want to spend days stuck inside them. Nice that they had areas you could go to and some activities for the "frugal" to partake in. Nice room too, just enough to get some good sleep, not too much to get blasted by the sun, with no windows.
On to the next video! The vlogs are cool and no doubt are LOTS more work. Thanks for sharing!!
Flew to Korea many times on Business. Detroit - Narita - Seoul or Detroit - Incheon. Loved the food and the Korean people so nice and friendly and a beautiful country. Retired now and would go back to Korea in a heartbeat
Lovin the vlogs Kelsey!
My wife was actually the product manager in charge of getting those robots in the airport!
How cool 😎 is that!!!!
I can imagine 48 hours in an airport could be quite fun. It's long enough to find all the cool stuff and feel special because you're way more familiar with the airport than most of the people who are just passing through, but not so long that there's nothing left to do. 72 hours in an airport, though...
Unfortunately, they tend to take a dim view of you roller skating all over their nice smooth floors... It's fun while it lasts though... :) I saw one guy try to skateboard through the airport... They were even LESS amused with that... This was back in the pre-TSA-nonsense days... I suspect that these days, they would be even less amused...
"Here... Hold my beer..."
LOVED THIS!!! Happy Easter!!! You should do more of these!!!!! I sub and watch every video you put on RUclips!!!! Love your channel! Stay safe!!!!!😊🌸🍷💕
Great video Kelsey!!
This was FANTASTIC! At first, you reminded me of Tom Hanks in "The Terminal" Have a great week!
I stayed in this hotel for 10.5 hours. I was going from the US to Kuala Lumpur on Korean airlines 8-10 years ago. They had a classical music performance in the terminal. I am an IQ researcher, and Korea has the highest average IQ of any country, and it shows.
Great stuff Kelsey!
You’ll be at one million soon mate! Good video 👍🏻
I’ve gotten lost there every time I’ve been. However, the cab drivers will definitely try to over charge you for a ride. I was charged $243 once I forgot how much that was in Won back then but that trip costed me $80 the time after with a different cab. They know you don’t understand Hangul or are military. It’s the cab drivers that approach you that speak English. If you’re military there’s a bus that’ll pick you up unless you’re coming back from leave.
They have a nice train / light rail system... I never was able to get where I wanted to go, but it was nice... :)
Unfortunately, Hertz would not honor my car rental reservation since I didn't have an "international driver's license"... And for those of you who don't know what this is, it's just a translation of your US driver's license that you can get by stopping by the local AAA office -- no written test, no driving test, just a translation, that's it...
@@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire there transportation system routes are color coordinated. Knowing that will make it easier to get around and I have a Korean DL, and driving in Korea is not that fun.
@@dariustbutler -- I'm from Texas... We tend to not like mass transit unless it is absolutely necessary... I've driven in various Asian countries... I much prefer it to being limited to where I can go via mass transit...
@@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire not disagreeing, I’m sure it’s like that in other parts but for Texas as a whole? idk man, I lived in Dallas for a few years. People took the trains or bus to work often because traffic was to bad. I’d see ppl take the highway to the nearest train station and ride the train to work. From my experience, Mass Transit in Korea is the best, there colored coordinated routes effectively touch’s every part of Korea, but taking your own transportation anywhere is always more liberating. Though I didn’t freely drive around other countries often, when I did, it was an amazing eye opening experience. I prefer America because I’m familiar with it but tbt, I have a few Asian countries on my list I’d move to right now. Every since I came back, America has been very different. It felt like going back to your old child hood home to only see new tenants insiders
@@dariustbutler -- In in the Houston area and we describe the light rail here as "something that takes you from somewhere you don't want to be to someplace you don't want to go"...
When in Korea, my wife and I were traveling by train and we got on this one that ended up leading to a dead end line that would not go anywhere else. That was not our intent... So, we got on the return line and went back to our starting point and tried again, following what we thought was the right signs... Ended up there yet again... So, back to the starting point one more time and my wife decided that she could navigate mass transit better than me since she is from a large Asian city with trains... And we ended up in that dead end line for a 3rd time... I'm sure the theme from the Twilight Zone was playing in the background... I ended up getting out of this by hopping one of the barriers just taking whatever I found over there... We finally ended up somewhere else and out of that never ending loop...
I drove in Greece quite a few years ago back before cell phones had GPSs in them or moving maps and all the road signs were in Greek letters... That was "interesting"... :) I've driven in Thailand and spent a month in Taiwan where I had a scooter for the entire month and while my wife was doing her stuff, I would just randomly head towards the mountains to see where I might end up... At the end of the day, I would use my GPS / cell phone to find my way back to where she was or where we were staying even though I could not read the road signs even if the Chinese characters had an English "translation" -- "translation" being defined as the Chinese word just being just spelled in English letters... Being ex-Navy and a pilot (private), if you give me lat/long coordinates, I can get around... Maybe not the most efficiently, but I can manage... :)
Dude, at 8 mins your fly is open. Pilot joke?
Enjoyed that. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Great story and thanks for sharing. I love flying and have a lot of airport stories from the past couple decades. Keep it up :) and blue side up.
I knew he wasn't a pilot! He's just some guy who lives in the Korean airport terminal, like tom hanks in that one movie
When you need to study for new procedures, what is the method? Does the chief pilot or ops manager provide an updated PDF via email? Is there a computer based training (CBT) course? Quizlet?
