777 pilot here, 737, 757, 767, A320/21, Falcon 900 and G550 over the years. I thoroughly enjoy the relaxed but professional atmosphere and approach you guys show on each and every video. Corporate aviation can be challenging but very rewarding, please keep up the good work inspiring the next generation.
Ex-airline, 7 years in CRJ’s and now in part 91 corporate living the dream. I enjoy the professionalism of you both. It’s refreshing. So many corporate pilots are cowboys and make up their own wacky procedures. You guys do it right.
ATP, Airline, DC-9, 727, 757 747, A320/319 plus many turboprops over the years. On disability now at 59 1/2 years old. Doubt I'll ever make it back. Sure do miss it...but I love watching your videos. Makes my days go a little better. Thank you gentlemen. Safe flying....
50 + year old here, rusty pilot returned last summer, about 245 hours now, working on IR. Videos like this made me decide to fly again, love every minute. Paul
I started Jan. 1966, I have commercial and A&P, now I live vicariously through you. Enjoy your vids and how you both work so well together. Keep up the good work.
I started flying in the mid 70’s. My plans were for a career in aviation. I made it through private, commercial, instrument, multi and CFI. I did a lot of instruction to build time and landed a job in the right seat of a King Air. Things were looking good until I went for my first class medical. A heart valve issue turned up on the EKG and to make a long story short, that was the end of the dream. I’ve never lost my love for flying but it was a bitter pill to swallow. My best friend who started flying the same time as I did just hit mandatory retirement after a long career with a major carrier. I love your videos...keep them coming please!
Thanks again for the awesome ride guys! As for the survey I am instrument rated single engine w/about 1450 hrs mostly pic. former airplane owner. What is so cool about flying is you get to visit unbelievable scenery that can only be viewed from the cockpit. Clouds can offer a world of incredible beauty, and sometimes and a ride that reminds you that when your seatbelt feels too tight, it isn't tight enough!. Really do appreciate allowing us come along and stay current so to speak.
Not a pilot, but a nervous flyer. I watch your videos because you make it look so easy and I feel more comfortable when I have to fly after watching u guys. Thanks!
PSEL IFR. Not current. 8 yrs since PIC. Flying sim now. Worked 40 yrs as Avionics tech for Northrop Grumman. Have friends working at Gulfstream in Savannah, which was Grumman many years ago. Keep the great vids coming. Love them.
Arm-chair pilot, sim-pilot, and really enjoy your channel, keep it up! Thanks for being so involved in your channel, videos, editing, and answering questions. Stay safe and have fun!
Took some private pilot lessons several years ago but couldn't afford to continue at that time. However, now own a business and looking at getting a private pilot's license and buy a small GA plane (Cirrus) for business travel. Really appreciate your videos - just great.
I'm an ARM-CHAIR PILOT. I've always had a fascination with aviation ever since I was a child but chose a different career path. Eventually, I'd like to get my private pilot license.
Happy Birthday! I'm 50 yo too. Time may be running out for you for the airlines but I heard that there is no age limit for corporate pilots. Here is the RUclips video that may be helpful for you...ruclips.net/video/cR5XcmOP16c/видео.html
50 is not too late! Do it -- you will never regret the decision. I've been flying recreationally for 9 yrs now and find it a near religious experience.
I am flying a Piaggio P180 in Europe, running everything from operations and coordinating maintenance to handling the paperwork and financial administration for a small private / corporate flight operation. I greatly enjoy watching your videos as I endeavor to be as professional as you guys! And the G-IV is an awesome plane (like any Gulfstream 😎). Would love to fly one of those, maybe one day....
Thanks mate. 9 years in the air force on Macchi326 and F/A-18s then 21 years in Saudi on Tornadoes, 4 years on Blackhawks in Australia and now back near Dubai as an instructor. Keep your Vids coming., Very enjoyable.
Saw your plane parked up At London Luton last weekend I said to my dad am sure I have seen that plane before lone and behold it’s one of my favourite channels plane
I'm a retired Truck driver 25 years 2.5 million miles . This is the best RUclips channel and i can only say thank you i really love your videos and i'm learning . I have a lot of questions ???
@@CorporatePilotLife what's your operating cost per hour ? How many hours before you need service ? Orlando to Vegas is roughly 5 + Hours what would a trip like that cost me ? I'm having so much fun learning how this entire thing works with the activity between you and the air traffic controllers it just blows my mind . I have flown commercially US Air , United , South west and when i was in college i used TWA and i was on an L-10-11. Keep up the great work you guys do it's a lot of fun ...
I am not a pilot. I am a retired advertising-sales promotion executive who loves to fish, and always wanted to learn how to fly. It’s fun to fly with you guys......keep up the good work!
How could I not be an aviation nerd. In ww2 my various uncles flew Liberators in Europe, hurricanes in Burma, Boomerangs in New Guinea while my dad flew Sunderlands out of Wales and took out U-270. O yes and also Spitfires in England. I’m 67 now and thinking about growing up cause I’m just not mature enough to be this old. Love your flights, very soothing, but interpreting the communications is doing my head in.
Another great episode into the Corporate Pilot Life . Hopefully the wifi and FPDS information gets sorted. Have a great memorial weekend, hopefully you get this time off
Former air cargo pilot. Retired 2010. Flew ATR and Beechcraft 99 and King air. Still got a sim at home though. Your CRM calls are nearly exactly what we used. I trained at FS in Houston.
A tad late. Been following you two about 2 months now. Been watching your excellent videos as often as I can. No pilot but love flying. I drive trucks for a living. The both of you make a great team and love having the ATC chat in the videos. Ya'll keep up the great work. Oh yeah, hell of a call sign.
Welcome back to your world of flying. I'm grateful for the opportunity to join you both in your air travels. Non-pilot who loves to fly. Thanks and good luck!!!
By the way, I'm reminded by some of the comments below--controllers used to be able to take FAM (familiarization) trips on air carriers. I took a lot of them, including twice to the UK. We got to sit in the jump seat and see everything from roughly the same perspective as your cameras. Of course before about 1980 there wasn't much formal CRM, but all in all, I saw a lot of it, before and after. You guys do it as well as anyone I ever saw (that includes the crew of UA232 and USA1549). I particularly appreciate the periodic announcement that you or Jon are going to be "head down" for a few moments. That's taking situational responsibility and information sharing to the ultimate degree. Well done.
Did the corporate pilot life myself many moons ago, flying the Jurassic 4 engine Lockheed JetStar, the early version with the fuel sucking, window rattling Pratt & Whitney engines, I also have an (A&P) Airframe & Powerplant license which helped open doors for me to get flying jobs. Mr. Elliott
John Walls PSEL IFR Last pic 4 yrs ago. Had a stoke so likely not going to pass next physical. Am learning to walk again. Am 78 but still enjoy your videos.
Non pilot but been in aerospace 32 years (Boeing,Lucas Variety,TRW, Parker Hannifin). Machinist,assembly,quality control etc..... Currently with Parker aerospace in Dublin Ga. (just up the road from Gulfstream) We build ehsv's for several Gulfstream platforms. If you look around your aircraft you will probably spot a few. Thanks for the view of the Ga coast line.
I am a software engineer. I am enjoying the practices of pilots, as they can be helpful in engineering of complex systems. In another life, I probably became a pilot myself ;)
FBO Line Manager 10 yrs. I have refueled the G-IV! Very nice plane and the only biz jet I am able to stand up in! I worked crop dusting for years as well during the summer, have maybe an hour of actual stick time in a Piper super cruiser, 1937 vintage
Just had my 46th year anniversary of being a licence pilot, Com, multi, inst, seaplane and glider endorsement. over 30K hours of cargo hauling all over the world. Done flying heavy metal as of the 25th. just going to relax in my sailplane ASG 31 MI and do some delivery of new aircraft on MY schedule. never did the corporate bus driver, Boxes never complain! Be safe, enjoy your vids.
ATP Multi Engine Land, Commercial Privileges Airplane Single Engine Land & Multi Engine Sea. I owned a 135 operation based in the Caribbean years ago. We operated Twin Otters on a schedule running between the US Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. We also operated on demand charter with cabin class Cessna and Piper twins as well as a Lear 35. A great place to fly! I've been out of aviation for a few years but am about to purchase a new aircraft and am looking forward to getting current.Your videos have been extremely helpful to that end. Thanks for taking the time to film and post them,.
Someone made the comment about your CRM. I would have to agree with him. It is like you know what each other is thinking. But, flying with the same crew member every flight plays a huge part. In the military, you don’t have that luxury. Really enjoy the videos.
Former Army Pilot. Huey’s and Black Hawks. 2000 hours. Commercial-Instrument-Rotary Wing. Have not flown since discharge in April 1996. Would love to get my Commercial Fixed. Pushing 60 now though.
I'm not a pilot. Always wanted to learn. I was flight line fire rescue @RandolphAFB. T-38 & T-37 training jets. At 63, don't think I have enough time or money to obtain a PPL. Love watching your videos. Thank you.
Audit Recon if you want to do it you can, I’ve heard of a gentleman getting his pilots license to celebrate his 90th birthday and his instructor said he was one of the best students she has had.
If you're in the USA, look into getting a Sport Pilot's license. You are "limited" to day time flying, 10,000ft , two seats, and a max gross weight of 1320 pounds. But it requires fewer hours before you can take the test. Also, light sport planes as a whole use less fuel than their bigger brothers. (I got my license at age 49.)
Commercial multi engine instrument here, non current, havnt flown pic in 20 years. Really enjoy you guys. You really are class acts. Id Hate to see the bill on that trip to Maintance 😂
Non pilot here. Did pole. Very exciting flying with you guys. The cockpit is amazing. Id love to see a switch by switch or item name and use if it can ever happen. Thanks for your great video work also. Its like we are right there with you. Thanks guys
I am a private pilot. Got license in 1967, flew about 250 hours, owned a Skyhawk. Had cardiac bypass in 1995, started flying in 2005 with special issuance medical, bought a Piper Archer, , flew about 250 hours, gave up medical in 2011, sold Archer.
Not a pilot, however in my career as a mfg. engineer work on assembly on the L1011, P3 Orion, B1B, S3A,F15 MPCD. Always loved aviation and your videos want me to still pursue flying. Thank you.
Im currently completing my PPL. My dream to complete my training after my mechanic apprenticeship and become a corporate pilot. You guys and @pilotvlogs have been a huge inspiration to me
I think you're referring to the landing toward the end of the video...the LPV function did not work on the approach. We tried it again the next morning, and it worked perfectly, so we think something was not configured properly in the FMS for that approach into FXE.
Just love the annual inspection - not. And I noted the fails you saw on the test flight. My old and pampered PA23-150 just came out of a more than month long thrash. (waiting on manufacture of a PMA carb intake boot) Complicated by my long time mechanic having the bad judgement to die on me. The new one is young and never saw the old sweet potato before. Anyway he was given two orders. #1. Don't change the mag timing. #2. I need to be present for the post inspection run-up.#1 remains to be seen as the idle is not right on the starboard engine.#2 he failed to call me for the run-up. Said it was late at night.OK, fair enough (maybe)I do my pre-flight and taxi out to the run-up pad. There I discover to my delight that:1. The right mag on the left engine is dead (solid backfire on that one)2. The generator fails to come on line on the right engine (sigh)Yeah, that was one thorough run-up he did
Denny O'Connor the King Air I used to fly, after a major destruction- I mean “inspection” - we hooked up the start cart. I spun up the left engine, moved the fuel lever out of Cutoff to Lo, and that ITT needle started to peg. I pulled the lever into Cutoff but ITT was over 900 by then. Motored the engine to cool it. The FCU was haywire
Hi Sean and John you guys are so "cool". I love your videosor Vlogs, but I am not a pilot... I would love to lean how to fly an airplane but just afraid I would not pass the Med exam. I'm a 54 years old guys... anyway, I love you guys and your videos. Keep up the good work and thank you for show us what you guys doing and I have learned a lot from your videos. Again, thank you very much.
Hey there! We're glad to have you here! Don't let age discourage you from looking into flying, as I know many people much older than 54 who are still flying. Let us know if you start some lessons!
Looks like John didn’t shave or have a haircut during that maintenance visit. Looks like an old pop star now. Reminds me of the BeeGees! Those were the days man!
Got my license in a J-3 cub, flew recreationally in a Skyhawk for some years. Really enjoy your relaxed atmosphere yet very professional behavior - nice job consistently.
Not a pilot but an A&P for the past 10 years. Currently working as QC for a regional airline. Mostly worked Bombardier products, never have worked Gulfs.

I am a private pilot. Got license in 1967, flew about 250 hours, owned a Skyhawk. Had cardiac bypass in 1995, started flying in 2005 with special issuance medical, bought a Piper Archer, , flew about 250 hours, gave up medical in 2011, sold Archer.
Its great to have the Gulfstream back, I would imagine you and John were feeling an emptiness. LOL. I really am glad to have your great VLOGS back !
Bill Bargar or, they could have been doing something silly like spending time with their family
Jerry Korman Absolutely Jerry!
Instrument-rated Private Pilot. Hard to keep instrument-current in sunny California though. Love the videos.
Hopefully the next Time my bride and I come to FT.Lauderdale I'll be looking forward to meet you all
Non-pilot but starting my flight training in a few months once I finish my basic college courses!
I just love to watch how you guys fly.. I am a enthusiast you could say.. and you guys are really entertaining 👍🏼
Congrats and best wishes for continued success.
G550 pilot TEB. Excellent representation of flying a corporate Jet. Keep up the good work!
Back in the saddle!!! Time for some outside the cockpit antics in a new location guys. Can't wait for the videos ahead.
Not a pilot, however in my career as a mfg. engineer work on assembly on the L1011, P3 Orion, B1B, S3A,F15 MPCD. Always loved aviation and your videos want me to still pursue flying. Thank you.
Im currently completing my PPL. My dream to complete my training after my mechanic apprenticeship and become a corporate pilot. You guys and @pilotvlogs have been a huge inspiration to me
Stewie935 awesome. Good luck!
Jerry Korman thanks!
Non-pilot but love your channel! You guys are great professionals!
So I'm curious what was still not working. Good to see you guys back in the Gulf Stream.
I think you're referring to the landing toward the end of the video...the LPV function did not work on the approach. We tried it again the next morning, and it worked perfectly, so we think something was not configured properly in the FMS for that approach into FXE.
Commercial Instrument SEL with a Fling Wing add on. No flying since heart attack in 2006
Retired airframe and powerplant tech, (Embry-Riddle graduate). Really enjoy your videos.
Just love the annual inspection - not. And I noted the fails you saw on the test flight.
My old and pampered PA23-150 just came out of a more than month long thrash. (waiting on manufacture of a PMA carb intake boot) Complicated by my long time mechanic having the bad judgement to die on me. The new one is young and never saw the old sweet potato before.
Anyway he was given two orders. #1. Don't change the mag timing. #2. I need to be present for the post inspection run-up.#1 remains to be seen as the idle is not right on the starboard engine.#2 he failed to call me for the run-up. Said it was late at night.OK, fair enough (maybe)I do my pre-flight and taxi out to the run-up pad. There I discover to my delight that:1. The right mag on the left engine is dead (solid backfire on that one)2. The generator fails to come on line on the right engine (sigh)Yeah, that was one thorough run-up he did
That's no fun. They usually have a few hiccups after a big inspection, but that seems excessive.
Denny O'Connor the King Air I used to fly, after a major destruction- I mean “inspection” - we hooked up the start cart. I spun up the left engine, moved the fuel lever out of Cutoff to Lo, and that ITT needle started to peg. I pulled the lever into Cutoff but ITT was over 900 by then. Motored the engine to cool it. The FCU was haywire
Any time an airplane comes out of maintenance you are Chuck Yeager, a test pilot. An instructor told me that over 30 years ago and he was right.
Hi Sean and John you guys are so "cool". I love your videosor Vlogs, but I am not a pilot... I would love to lean how to fly an airplane but just afraid I would not pass the Med exam. I'm a 54 years old guys... anyway, I love you guys and your videos. Keep up the good work and thank you for show us what you guys doing and I have learned a lot from your videos. Again, thank you very much.
Hey there! We're glad to have you here! Don't let age discourage you from looking into flying, as I know many people much older than 54 who are still flying. Let us know if you start some lessons!
Looks like John didn’t shave or have a haircut during that maintenance visit. Looks like an old pop star now. Reminds me of the BeeGees! Those were the days man!
Got my license in a J-3 cub, flew recreationally in a Skyhawk for some years. Really enjoy your relaxed atmosphere yet very professional behavior - nice job consistently.
Private pilot, SEL. Retired ATC. Really enjoy your videos.
I recognize the Logo on the tail. With the APA Pool League we have spent many days in Vegas. Great place.
Not a pilot but an A&P for the past 10 years. Currently working as QC for a regional airline. Mostly worked Bombardier products, never have worked Gulfs.
Good camera angle as we can see the rudder being controld.
