Slight detour here, because it is JC afterall, but for some reason I'm getting German tractor pulls in my feed now. I guess it is just an extension of my mechanical interests, but I had no idea this was a thing outside of Appalachia, let alone in Germany.

Allison engines are still winners in Europe.

If MikeD started a channel, I'd actually watch it. I don't watch any of them (I only watch cooking and German car channels), but I know that he does. We're on a private fighter pilot FB group where he writes very detailed accident reports, as well as just general combat after-actions, for a bunch of mostly Desert Storm and Vietnam vets. I can't stand most of their politics, but none of Mike's content is political at all. I'm not on FB enough to read all of them, but he normally says "hey did you read my study of this?" and then I go on and read it. He has like 4 jobs I think? Maybe just 3? But he somehow has time for detailed research like this too. I just stood a few feet away from Ward Carrol's table a few weeks ago at tail hook, and I wanted to throw my beer bottle at his f***king sh**bag head. Most of you don't know him, but he is an embarrassment to naval aviation, and goes to that event to hopefully catch active duty junior officers who are drunk enough to tell him the hot goss, which he immediately regurgitates on his channel. It is disgusting. If he wasn't elderly, I'd have swung at him by now. I take major issue with these guys who monetize their, typically very minimal, "experience" in being fighter people. Ward didn't do f**** after his Bosnia deployment which he wrote a book about. Most of them are aggressively bad dudes who were forced out. Recent shenanigans aside, this is a community that generally shoots people in the head when they aren't performing. You could be a several year new JO, a 10-13 year department head, a 16 year CO, or a 20+ year wing commander (CAG) when it happens. I've seen all of those happen. A DCAG was just relieved a day before he became a CAG, last month. For fu*kery in an airplane. The long arm of judgement and the law is never far in this biz. As it should be. What is the phrase? "No slack in light attack"

His reports are legit and I don't think he gets enough respect here for what he brings to the table.
 
I saw this data pop up on Reddit, pretty interesting:

I have seen a fairly common mistake that can make the 767-300 suddenly speed up when you’re starting the approach (FLCH to VNAV without intervening/opening speed window).

Very easily fixed by experienced crews (open speed window after selecting VNAV).

Very curious to see how this all turns out.
 
There's apparently money to be made in "reaction" videos.

Just a whole channel of playing clips from the rogues' gallery while making the YouTube face, occasionally chiming-in to critique and hawk some kind of prepared-meal service of mid-tier earphones. Manufacture drama built off their urgency, maybe have some bufonés once in a while about their appearance, accuracy of past speculations, or hypothetical romantic pursuits.
 
I hated seeing the guy from the Taking Off series go down this path of old white guys who want to be relevant. Despite having the most punchable looking face I've seen in a long time, he otherwise seems like a good dude.

Why do they always have to use photos of their perplexed looking faces?

See unboxing videos. There are millions and millions of videos showing kids unwrapping toys out there.

I don't get the fascination with it either, but it is big business.

So much money being left on the table. "I'm Mike Deeeeeee, former F-117 and A-10 pilot, current Area 51 pilot, professionally qualified aviation accident investigator. I've forgotten more about aviation than Captain Steeeeeeeve ever knew. Now, let's get into it! Don't forget to ring the bell and subscribe!"

Tragically, Character and Integrity seem to be part of the package.

Yea…but he’d have to occasionally do it shirtless, you know, for the ladies out there in order to be a true YouTube aviation “influencer”. 🤔😒

FWIW, Mentour Pilot is, I'm sure, profiting from his unqualified accident-analysis, and I'm sure Mike would happily throw him in the same cell as the rest. But he does seem to be quite serious and proficient, and definitely puts a lot more thought and effort into it than the common run of clickbaiters. He also seems to resist the urge to comment immediately, generally (but not always) only commenting on accidents with a lot of paper already printed about them. Not suggesting that it's wrong to just ask everyone to read the NTSB report, but people are gonna people, and there are legitimate gradations of Quality, even on YouTube.

He’s about the only one I can stomach anymore. He puts out a good, knowledgeable summary.

Can I get rich making videos where I just go "damn, that's crazy"?
