YOU ARE INVITED TO THE PARTY! COME JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL BROADCAST FROM CHICAGO O'HARE ON MONDAY!

Yes it's my birthday on Monday. Yes I want EVERY, SINGLE, SUBSCRIBER TO JOIN ME BEGINNING@12 p.m. CDT/17z!

Not ONLY because I am at Chicago O'Hare.
Not ONLY because I am the most welcoming host in Chicago.
Not ONLY because it's my birthday and my parents and sister went to Hawaii instead....so basically, you guys are it.

BUT....it's ALSO because I will be giving the gifts too.

Here's how it works. We will be giving away prizes for every 100 viewers we have, beginning at 200.

1. If we hit 200 viewers, ONE lucky viewer and member will win a FREE Pip the Pilot sticker.

2. If we hit 300 viewers, ONE lucky viewer and member will win the LAST COMPLETE SET of American Airlines trading cards that I have.(PS sorry for the delay Farid...I will try and ship them on Tuesday)Plus they will also get a free Pip the Pilot sticker.

3. If we hit 400 viewers ONE lucky viewer and member will win a T-shirt of their choosing from the Pip Hastings Collection and a Pip the Pilot sticker.

This is where it gets fun.

4. If we hit 500 viewers, ONE lucky viewer and member will win not only a T-shirt of their choosing from the Pip Hastings Collection, BUT ALSO a free Pip Hastings Aviation Trucker Hat and a Pip the Pilot sticker.

AND FINALLY

5. If we hit 1000 viewers at once, ONE lucky viewer and member will win not only a T-shirt, a Pip Hastings Aviation Trucker Hat BUT ALSO....a $25 gift card from either Southwest or Delta Airlines and a free Pip The Pilot sticker.

These are my gifts to you on my birthday show.

RULES-
TO QUALIFY, you must be a new or current Pip Pals Club member. That means Premium Economy, Exit Row, First Class Premier OR Flight Deck Jump Seat. And yes, joining on Monday as a new member counts.

And by the way, YouTube is running a promo so it's basically .99 cents or free depending on how you join for Premium Economy.

Now this is a ONE DAY event ONLY. No rainchecks and no make up dates. If the show gets cancelled or shut down, tough luck.

The drawing will be randomized by numbers, with each member having a number assigned to them(only I know the number). The drawing will be taking place at 4 p.m. CDT/21z and you must be present on the show to win.

You will have one hour to email me pipsplanespottinglive@gmail.com to send your address for shipping...otherwise, we will award the prizes to someone else.

Seems fair and fun enough right?

If that wasn't enough...We should have some FANTASTIC action on Monday being at the 6th busiest airport in the world.

ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS IN THE LAST SIX WEEKS.....BUT ITS TIME TO MOVE AND GROOVE

What a wonderful Thursday in Indianapolis. So many wonderful people we got to welcome and meet.

However, after looking at the schedule from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. for today in Indianapolis, There ain't much happening....a total of 14-16 arrivals. We will saying goodbye to Indy FOR NOW and heading up to Chicago.

THANK YOU everyone for your incredible generosity and amazing support. We will definitely have to come back to Indianapolis FOR SURE!

For those who know, FedEx has a VERY light schedule on Friday as they wrap up the week. Cargo traffic will be very limited.

It was a great time at IND and we will make it back soon enough. Stick with us. We will have A LOT of fun in Chicago.

We have a show tentatively scheduled for Saturday at 12 p.m. CDT/17z. I have to make sure that my family gets to the airport and a few other things, but our hope is to be On the Air on Saturday.

We will talk to you soon as Pippapalooza enters it's final week in CHICAGO!

Sincerely,

The Pipster

HOT OF THE PRESSES! LAS VEGAS RAIDERS OWNER MARK DAVIS IS JEALOUS OF PIP!

Thanks to Eve Ira Sports Clips Clarksville for stepping up for the challenge! Go see her, get yourself a nice haircut and drop a nice tip.

Now it will no longer be called the “Mark Davis” and for eternity be called the Pip Hastings!

Enjoy.

This photo was taken along the Ohio River here in Louisville where we will spend our next few days before heading up to Chicago.

We are on home stretch of Pippapalooza for 2026. I have some medical testing that needs to get done. Doctors think I have an enlarged travel stem.....causing my traveling disease LOL.

I will make sure to let you know when our next shows are in Louisville once I get everything taken care of. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tune in.

HILTON KICKS ME OUT....BUT WE KEEP PUSHING FORWARD!

Before I forget, I say thank you for the wonderful support that helped us get to Nashville and welcome so many new subscribers on today's show.

ALSO, thank you to Bar-B-Cutie for the wonderful sandwich and wings. Shout out to Mama McFarland. I am incredibly grateful for the simple act of generosity and kindness. Check out www.bar-b-cutie.com/

NOW, an unfortunate misunderstanding lead us to being asked to end our broadcast just after 5 p.m. today in at the BNA Nashville Hilton.


I complied and packed up my gear. Bummer.

BUT, as I was packing up, I snapped a few photos and videos of the C-32 taking off. The video of it taking off is below in the link.

Where do we go from here???? As we get towards wrapping up our Pippapalooza tour, we will either end up the next six days in DALLAS or LOUISVILLE

I really wanted to be in Chicago but the hotel prices are a tad steep. Thank you for your votes and feedback.

I hope we will be On the Air on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Perhaps Sunday somewhere. Summer does not want to go away LOL. So let's all pray for cooler temperatures. We are headed towards 90 degrees in much of the middle part of the country.

Anyways, Thank you so much for joining us today in Nashville. You made this happen. THANK YOU! It can be lonely on the road so I appreciate y'all so very much.

Sincerely,

The Pipster
