- #Flying a #helicopter to #work the #gulfstream #private #jet in #MEXICO from the rooftop of the #ritzcarlton to our #airplane. As a #pilot I dont have time to sit in big city traffic in my #commute . So today we used a general #aviation #agusta helicopter for our pilot commute to the jet. Mexico City was a blast.

As an Air Force veteran I was impressed with the professionalism of that flight.
Am I the only one that put 2 & 2 together and realized you’re flying Fuerza Regida around?🤣👌🏽
Absolutely love your channel, man. I am a recently minted private pilot who always dreamed of going to the airlines but after having come across yours and flywithowen’s channels, I’ve realized I’m much more interested in corporate/contract flying. Thank you for all your high quality videos and information!
Welcome aboard! Good luck on your journey!
"Cool Video" .I like how your just you and casual and just crushing it.
Its only a dream of getting to fly right seat of a corporate jet once.
You’ll get there!!!!
damn that heli pilot was bad ass
The gear down of choppers
Another banger, Tommy! I like seeing the international ops. Loving your IG content too!
Awesome! Thank you!
I was waiting for it, great video as always, Tommy 🎉 thanks
Thank you so much for your support, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
@@gear_down always to support you Tommy in whatever way we can.!!
Great channel tommy I lost my p91 super mid size job (Capt) in May 2022 for uk/US owner he sold it couldn't afford it. been working on the EB1 visa, taking time zzz no jobs here, so i can work legally in the US . Got tired of being made redundant in the last 17 years. So after watching your channel i've decided that its till in me and its great to listen to the aviation chatter. I have a mountain to climb as i keep being told i dont have anything current. This side you have to pay for types it appears, yuk don't have that bux...still I listen and watch . been playing a lot of guitar and mowing the lawn (refuse to pay for a new type ) anyway great to see your postive upbeat approach I sure wish I had flew with more people like that , been a humanitarian pilot, instructor. I also flew without uniform in my last job was cool ...don't do hats unless its a cap! :)) Im searching for a company that like musicians, caps, and has a no a**-hole policy recruitment ;-) blue side up Deano . keep it going.. L45/HA4t/Bd700. dad, guitarist and no pain on a night stop kinda guy!
Loved the video , the heli transport was next level 💪🏽💪🏽
Thanks!
I always enjoy your videos!! Keep up the great work , very transparent .
I appreciate that!
Currently working 2 jobs to pay my way though my commercial license part 61, would love the A30🙏
Awesome! Good luck. Follow on IG & Subscribe here
The F/M hat is fire. Picked up one and a shirt the other day. Their merch is worth it.
Yahoooooo!
Two words, cool breeze!!! You're steady as a rock and one skilled pilot. Sub'd thanks
great flight ! thanks!
Thanks for watching it! I had fun making / editing this one
Those bags look SWEET! I just found this channel! Those A30s look awesome.
Welcome aboard! Fingers crossed you win! Make sure to follow me on instagram and subscribe to the channel here to win!
Love your content man ❤. Following you for a long time and as a CPL student from india you are my motivation. Looking forward for more videos. Hope i win the headset, will use on cessnas 😂😝
🤞
Hey man, I love your videos. I have just finished my flight school and I am now applying to jobs! The headset would be a great help during my career in the next years!
🤞
Love your content man. Keep up the good work!
that Agusta A109 should be your next helicopter. Now thats a nice heli!
Life is good! Thank you for your videos.
Always!
Keep up the good work with the channel playboy and doing giveaways .. should do a giveaway for the mechanics that keep the sky safe . Just a suggestion 👍👍👍
Great idea!!! GIVEAWAY COMING SOON FOR MY A&P’s
Cool video. I found it particularly interesting that you didn't repeat the phone number when it was given to you over the phone just because of how often pilots repeat back what's said over radio. it's like an interesting subconscious brain shift.
Hahahaha phone vs radio lol
That’s actually pretty funny. I never noticed if I do the same or not. I swear I always read it back but maybe not…now I’ll have to consciously think about it.
@@BaxterretxaB you might be surprised now that you’ll be paying attention to it.
Great video. CDMX is a great city to visit.
It sure is!
Cool opportunity to be able to park next to Mark Cuban's 57! 😎 🤘🏻
Awesome video! Love the content 🔥
Glad you enjoy it!
Must have just missed you in Toluca. Just got here yesterday.
Next time!
Beautiful approach to LAX.
Debating going into flight school winning that headset will be a sign for me to jump right in
🤞
What a cool video, nice approach
Glad you liked it! Thanks!!
Awsome content as usual ! Is the chopper in your own charge ? Best regards from Switzerland. Waiting for your there ! 😎
Thanks man! I love Stockholm
I was sure about that 🤦♂️ Switzerland !! Not Sweden 😉😉 Geneva, Zurich…
How didn’t you get a medium format camera yet bro? lol it’s 10-15k but your pictures and image quality is going to be so crisp it’s like taking pictures with a Hawkeye
Great ride!
Thanks!
Following a E175, “same size as us” 😂 not a whole lot bigger but definitely bigger.
550 has higher landing and taken off weight tho. Go figure. Comment was probably meant ailing the lines of ‘hope there’s no wake turbulence’.
Apologies, thought they were in a 550 not 4. Either way they wanna know the one in front isn’t a heavy.
super cool, great job, amazing stuff,
great work, nice views , keep it up man
Thanks, will do!
Any chance you could make a video going over your recording equipment? Specially the sound part !
Cheers
I was supposed to fly the 250 nm cross country for my IFR rating today but I go got bumped for a check ride. This video was the next best thing.
make sure your CFI file into ATC that flight!!
Thanks for watching it! Hope u enjoyed!
@19:10 Is that legit curvature of the earth or just very interesting clouds?

FL 420. In theory RVSM is up to FL410 and then is 2000 ft separation. 🤔
Thanks for sharing. Curios the App you were using to track XA-UVJ inbound. Thanks
You almost had a bird strike on approach.. Co-Pilot side front windscreen. minutes 27:05ish
Yeah say that on the edit!
Always great Maybe lower the volume on the music.
As a student pilot with no headset, I may need the A30’s😅😂.
🤞
You parked right next to the Dallas Mavericks team plane at LAX…
Thank you for sharing.😊
Nice video !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
First O seemed kinda green. How long has he been in the jet.
He’s a 550 guy normally, barely flys the 4
That’s dope your so generous
I thought ATC is in English everywhere?
Hahahhahahah I wish
Love the hat brotha!
🤐
great watch tommy
Thank you!
What are the helicopter charter rates like in mexico? Much different than the US?
Cheaper for sure
Cool videos man.
great video thanks very much
you said I can complain about you in the comments but truly it does seem like you are a risky pilot from your filmography, compared to all the other aviation channels i watch
U are a bad MAN!! I envy u, so amart
bad ass video🫡
Thank you!
Ehh. I know that guy in the right seat!
how will you choose the winner for the a30s?
Random # generator
Bro, just give me the A30 headset already. Im the winner 😆

@gear_down dope content, per usual. Keep it up man 🤙🏼
That was a nice try, but Gear Down only has 47k subs right now.
🎉 5@@gear_down
@@gear_down I already have the A30. Sweet headset👍.
BTW, great location - i like Chapultepec.
I also head down to Mexico City in about 2 wks. This video made me realize how much i’ve missed being away from DF and Guanajuato…
Just wondering if you accept dead head passengers?
Nope
What a vid
Thanks!
@@gear_down how long u been flying for?
Wait so let me see if i understood, you flew the helicopter , passengers were traveling peasant style by car? That’s hilarious, btw it wouldn’t take 2 hrs from Mexico City to Toluca specially in traffic..it would’ve taken longer.. either way it was awesome… thank you for sharing..
I have personally sat for 2 hours in traffic from the Ritz Mexico City to Aerotron at MMTO.
i pray im the lucky person to win boss watching from Philippines
Ayeee
🔥
Don't burn ya self out brotha man, we're happy with the content we get.
Were your passengers a young group of folks with some recent major hits???
Maybe 🤫
I'm petite and already have an A20 from a rusty pilot client. I could sell the A30 to pay for av100! 🎉
I sell an a20 before I EVER sold an a30
subscribed :)

ADSB-Exchange for the win!
Always helpful!!!!
Thomas, you just suck!!! Just kidding! Love the content. Can't wait to see the update on the Cirrus and your jet.
You don´t wear uniforms while on duty?
I do not require ANYONE who works for me to wear a uniform. We done go on "Duty" either. We just fly
Flight
😃
I'm on a mexican radio. Wall Of Voodoo 1982
Radiooooooolk
Imagine being a guest worker in a foreign country, being welcomed by that country, then complaining about people in that country speaking their native language in that country. :D
English is the official language of aviation worldwide. There has to be a standard.
ENGLISH IS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE TO BE USED IN AVIATION WORLDWIDE. This is an ICAO regulation. FULL STOP. ENGLISH IS MANDATORY ON THE RADIO. Is the rule broken, yes, have accidents and incidents been caused by the breaking of this rule? Yes on numerous occasions
Crappy pilot, terrible mechanic, 😆……. No wait, that’s me 🤣
lol F/M
Scared Of Females
Terrified
90% of the video is a dude selfie.....10% is interesting
Make your own channel, or Don’t watch. ✌️
@@gear_down let me take selfie
Please don’t take this the wrong way and please don’t misunderstand me, you guys are too relaxed and could be more professional as PIC, my hair stands up behind the back of my neck that holes in the Swiss cheese is going to line up.
How so? We plan flights, plan performance, do checklists, brief departures, arrivals and approaches. Just because it’s not in the video doesn’t mean we don’t do it.
@@gear_downHahaha this guy's watched 4 Blancolirio videos and now he's an expert!!! Id suggest you listen to him very much!!! 😂😂😂😂 What a clown! Love the vids man!
C'mon man ... trying to add narration in a helicopter...& sans not even having a mic to scream into (not that it would have proven to be much better) ...guess I should have spent more time learning how to be a decent lip reader 😂
Maybe hearing aids? I can hear it just fine on my TV, Phone, and Laptop
@@gear_down of course you can ....my bad for thinking the content was for others
Turn your volume up? I don’t see anyone else crying about it… no one in the live chat this morning mentioned it. This ain’t the channel for all that lol
@@gear_down oh I definitely get it ...this is a rah rah flyboy ego trip channel that can't handle the least bit of criticism > carry on Maverick
@user-bc1bd5ig7b I don’t care about anything. I literally say at the end of each video to talk shit in the comments…. This isn’t one of the snowflake channels that don’t talk back tho. So don’t dish it, if you can’t take it
I like that your boss understands that having a suit and 4 stripes on your shoulders, doesn't make you a better pilot, you probably freak out some passengers though. Dream job my friend!
Thanks my clients are very very smart!
Most underrated aviation channel. I need that A30!!!
I wood NEVER fly in a helicopter unless it was a 'life flight" situation.
Crap. I'm 3rd today :). Tommy great content as always !
Thanks hope you enjoyed this one!
Love to see the uploads, keep it up!
Thank you. Moving to 2x week starting this week!
NGL, "double-shot of expresso" made my eye twitch.
Hahah
