  • Boeing 747 talks about flying millions of dollars in cash and about the life of a pilot and traveling around the world with Morton in the Morning crew. We discuss typical fears of flying that many people have. I give some insights as an airline pilot on pilot life during layovers with crews, working with flight attendants and the world of aviation. And Rick, one of the hosts of the morning show puts in a special request for a Hollywood vs Reality video.

    G'day Kelsey, I finally caught up and listened to this radio appearance. It was really good. I've been involved in radio broadcasting and producing, off and on for over 35 years and I can tell you the main presenter on that station was a real pro. He kept it moving swiftly, he'd done his homework on you and your channel and, best of all, he gave you many, many plugs for you and your channel.
    That's the mark of a true radio professional.
    Then there's the fact that you were a great radio guest to have on because you are used to 'public speaking' like, errrr, on your intercom, errrr, and even better in your video narrations. There is nothing worse than a radio guest who answers in short or monosyllabic sentences. The better the guest the better the program slot and this makes the presenter's day, so he'll keep you on for as long as possible.
    If you are ever listening to a radio interview that sounds a bit slow or dull, then you'll certainly hear the presenter wind up the interview and go to music or commercials. This means the guest sucked.
    He kept you on for nearly 40 minutes and I can tell you that's a long time in radio talk so, you were a great guest.
    I hope that appearance helped your subscriptions in the San Diego listening area.
    You should do more promotional radio appearances; you are good at it. I could get you on the radio station I'm associated with anytime, but I guess you don't get down to Hobart, Tasmania a lot. I don't think HBT is even 747/A380 rated. The heaviest aircraft I've seen down there is a fully loaded C-130J model.
    Anyway, congratulations, you are now a multi-media professional! Cheers, BH

He had lots of good questions prepared (although with a topic as interesting as this it’s probably not too difficult) & allowed things to proceed organically, but never go off the rails. As a fan of Kelsey’s channel, I also appreciated him plugging the channel as often as he did.

    Oakland airport, a few years ago in 2016, I forgot my Macbook pro in one of those bins they have at the security, the plastic bins has almost the same color as my computer, and and empty one were placed on top of my laptop and I failed to notice it. 15 minutes into my flight to Sweden I realized what had happened and I told a flight attendant about it. She had me talk to the pilot (via phone in the rear of the plane) and he radioed the Oakland tower to let them know. 12 hours later, I finally managed to call Oakland airport and they told me they had found my computer. I were able to pick it up when I returned 14 days later. I dont know if radioing it in did anything, but it did take the worst edge off my worries and Im super thankful for the crew on my Norwegian flight providing the help they could.

      @@robertjensen1048 idk, I’ve had something similar with American where someone in our group left a credential we needed at security and American had it on the next flight for us. We were a bunch of kids going to a national convention for a high school club and the instructor left it. This was the only way to get her in to sign us all in when we got there. In future years, they stopped sending the credentials out ahead of time and set up a place to pick the credentials up because other people did the same thing. This was right around when they started with the full body scanners and people didn’t really have the hang of it. Maybe us being a large group changed things but I’d like to think it didn’t.

      one night while in the cockpit jumpseat(FAA), After we got our pushback and were taxiing out, we got a call from tower. Some woman was running back and
      forth in the gate area screaming that her little girl was still aboard. I offered to the captain to have an airport vehicle catch us somewhere out on the tarmac,
      And I could take her down the airstairs. B727. Went back in the cabin and sure enough, there she was sleeping in the seats at the rear. The stew and I wrapped
      her up like a burrito in a blanket head to toe and told her it was going to be REALLY loud as I carried her down the stairs but that she would be perfectly safe.
      Gave her to the guy in the airport truck and he drove her back. Just before takeoff, we got another message from the tower about one happy happy mom.
      Don't remember what airline it was but I believe it was NW. The little girl was a real trooper: plus, she got to keep the blanket.

    My dad was a private pilot (single-engine Cessnas and piper cubs). One trip, when I was around 9, we ended up in a freak snowstorm, in the Sierra Nevada range. The instruments were not working right. My dad decided to drop low and try to get below the clouds and realized we were in whiteout conditions, and we were having trouble communicating with the local airport, so he decided to drop lower until he could see the treetops. We ended up flying through a series of small valleys, less than 20 above the treetops, with trees going up the valley walls only about 40 feet off of our wings, for close to 30 minutes. My mom was in tears. My brother threw up all over the back of the plane. I was too young to understand just how much danger we were in. But, my Dad...he appeared as cool as cucumber. I even asked him if he was scared. He said, "If I was scared, I would be in the back seat with you right now." gave me a quick sideways little grin and continued trying to contact the airport. He didn't tell us until years later that he lost control of his bowels (just a little bit) on that flight, and was never so glad to have one of us kids vomiting, because it helped cover the signs of his fear...not only was he desperately trying not to panic himself, but he was trying to manage our panic as well, while white-knuckling that little flying tin can to a safe landing spot.

    Long story: We had a really bad front go through and left A LOT of water on the ground but when it passed, the sky was totally clear and dead smooth. Almost a new meaning for CAVU. We had a brilliant full moon that night so I loaded the girlfriend into the Champ and promised her something she would never forget. By the time we were at 1,000 feet AGL, the moon was reflecting off of all those temporary ponds and we flew up the moonbeams until the moon got so high the reflections got sketchy. For the next 40 years, she would occasionally get a distant look on her face and softly say "Remember when you flew me up the moonbeams?" The answer is still yes.

    Dear Sir, i have been watching videos on your channel and my deepest respect for your job and content here. Been listening to ATCs on HF and VHF for some 20 years, been monitoring HFDL (Acars mode2) and all sorts of air comms and i have most respect for all of the air crews. Keep it up. Looking forward to more and more videos.

    Great work Kelsey! I can say from experience that doing radio is tough when you're live and need to fill the dead air, but you really owned this segment like a professional. I bet so many people in San Diego were going into work late because they were sitting in their cars in the office parking lot listening! Additionally, thank you for doing a radio appearance like this. I frequently show your videos to my girlfriend, who doesn't like flying, and I can see how your videos relieve some of her fears and stigmas about flying.

  • @triple7marc

    11:55 A similar thing happened to me at Denver International Airport. We had a 4 hour layover and went to go get lunch, but it’s impossible to walk between the terminals because of the way they’re laid out (essentially islands within the runways/taxiways) so we had to use the subway to get to terminal 1 and 2… little did we know if you took the subway past terminal 1 you’d end up outside the secure area. I had thought the subway would just go back towards terminal 3 after reaching terminal 1, so you could imagine our surprise when we were asked to exit the train and found ourselves in the baggage claim. I also lost my driver’s license in my backpack and was terrified that we’d be stuck in Denver without a way back home... luckily I found it at the very bottom, but that was quite the scare. We were really lucky that our layover was so long and that the security checkpoint only took around 10 minutes despite it being noon at one of the busiest airports in the world.
    Learned an important lesson that day. Read signs carefully and know where you’re going and how to get there before you go.

  • @ronball3435
    @ronball3435 2 года назад

    I really appreciated what you said about that you are on the plane as well. There is so much misinformation and conspiracy theory about part shortages not allowing for proper maintenance and upkeep on aircraft. But when you talk about you would not fly a plane that was unsafe, it puts it in perspective for me as a passenger and relieves my anxiety to hear that the pilot and flight crew know more about the equipment firsthand and if they are getting on board they have to believe it is safe. Thanks for that statement, makes me feel better about flying again.

    One thing I have told other passengers that are nervous and start asking "what if" questions. I tell them that the pilots are going to do everything in their power to save their own lives, and if they save themselves we are going to be fine. (not 100% accurate but close enough.)
