Next Tuesday will be a full-flight video for the books. An avgeek's bucket list flight. Any one want to guess where we are headed?

Recently, I've been playing around with filming a few takeoffs and landings using a new Samsung Galaxy S24 I've acquired. How many of you would be interested in seeing these videos sprinkled in with the current scheduled content?

CHANNEL UPDATE:




Hey, y'all! What a year it has been. From going radio silent on this channel on December 3, 2023, to now (November 29, 2024), this channel has grown by over 600 subscribers despite not publishing anything. This proves that my videos are still being recommended to many viewers. I want to thank each and every one of the now 2,898 subscribers who have joined me on this amazing journey!

This last year has given me an amazing chance to reset and re-evaluate the direction I want my life to head. I am still working at the same company as before, but have now taken on more roles within the operation. I am now not just a ramp agent, but a ramp lead, operations agent, passenger service agent, baggage sortation unit lead, baggage reunitement agent (ie. finding and reuniting lost, delayed, or damaged baggage with their rightful owners), and my personal favorite, an irregular operations supervisor (ie. diversion management). I am also proudly part of my company's "Go!" team — meaning I can be sent to any station we operate out of worldwide if the need for help or training arises. This last summer, I was dispatched, along with another agent from my station, to Montreal, Canada (for a second time) to assist with training multiple new agents. While up there, I was also finally trained to push back and tow widebody aircraft! So, if any widebody aircraft show up to Tucson, I'll be there, ready to push or tow them to where they need to be (but, they'll have to bring their own equipment, because Tucson simply doesn't have equipment powerful enough to handle aircraft of that size — yet:) )

As stated above, this last year was really just about re-organizing my life and being busy at work, with back-to-back 6-day work weeks, and as a result, I had to make the difficult decision to cease content creation for YouTube. But, as of December 3, 2024, exactly 1 year after going radio-silent, I am proud to announce this channel will be coming back to life with TWICE-WEEKLY uploads of the best full flight footage I could get on a variety of airlines! I have been reading all of your comments throughout this past year and will start responding to them soon, so if you have commented on one of my videos in the last year, expect a reply in the coming days! Starting on December 3, we travel to Montreal and back aboard Delta and experience something all av-geeks get excited about. *Anyone wanna try to guess what that is??* Afterward, we spend a day at Phoenix Sky Harbor watching planes and then embark on a 7-leg, nearly 7,000-mile non-revenue journey aboard United with one sole goal in mind — check a bag and see if it makes it. Spoiler — it did! Finally, to round out my travels, a mega 4-day, 18-leg, over 10,000-mile trip — encompassing a unique, short-lived route I just had to put on my map. But, you'll have to wait a while before that one is released!

So, in short, THANK YOU for sticking with me this year and I hope you'll join me aboard the upcoming flights. I greatly appreciate all y'all's continued support. HERE'S TO A GREAT YEAR!

Hey, y'all! I just wanted to drop in and wish you all a Happy New Year and hope 2023 treated you well! I still currently have no trips planned at the moment, but that will change soon 😉 I made my way up to Phoenix Sky Harbor airport today and filmed for 12 hours -- getting over 350 aircraft movements on video. I can't wait to share them all with you!

My question for y'all, is, how do you want the videos presented? Please vote in the poll below before I begin the editing process 🤙

Regardless, 350 Clips to go through is a lot and this video won't be up for several weeks, but I assure you, it is well worth the wait!

Folks, I try really hard to produce and publish high-quality content and there's always one thing in my videos that I have no control over — shaky window frames. Sitting in the back of the plane, as I usually do, causes a multitude of engine vibrations on the old and loose window frames, causing them to rattle and produce an awful noise in the video, sometimes completely trashing the video altogether. I don't want to destroy your ears with this noise. I had to pull two videos from the upload line because the window rattle is so annoying, I can't even watch them. What is your opinion as to the publishing of these videos?




(In case it matters, they are full flight videos between Boston and Chicago, then Chicago and Sacramento, both on a United 737-900 [same plane, both routes])










(If this poll looks familiar, it's because it is. I published this exact same poll on July 13, 2022, and I want to see if the responses have changed at all)

Wild idea, but what would y'all think of a 6-hour full train ride video?
