So...regular stalking?

You know, sometimes i have to sit back and appreciate the Golden Age of stalking/creeping we live in. Used to be you had to get dressed, and leave the house in order to keep tabs on your "one true love." One had to be proficient at following someone discretely, moving through bushes quietly, willing to rummage through the trash, etc. Now days? Just have to know how to make a burner facebook/instagram account. What a time to be alive!
 
When I remember to remember that YouTube exists, I like to watch the latest from CaptMoonbeam. Videos are short, mostly blog style, but gives one a tiny glimpse into life as a charter pilot. Guy by the name of "Guido Warnecke" has some nice videos as well. I'm also a fan of Premier 1 Driver, though I have to admit I sometimes fall asleep during the cruise portion of his videos.

I'm a huge fan of Guido.
In addition to his corporate jet stuff, he does a lot of international ferrying single pilot, often in pistons. It may be because he flies so many different types of light aircraft, his checklist use is a great lesson for light GA. His fans have been waiting for something new for a few months. We know he's been busy - probably too busy to do much editing.
 
That was painful to watch.

I don't think he does anything intentionally reckless. Other than the one where he does this strange landing runway switch at low altitude, it's more procedural stuff like the lack of prep for the departure from KFUL I mentioned (you have to look at the chart yourself to realize what's going on) . I actually went back to that one today and left a comment asking whether is self-debriefing had him realize he was doing the departure he thought they took him off from. We'll see.

Anyway, here it is. He had a nav radio failure later in the video (so he navigates by handheld), but the SID stuff in in the first few minutes.

That was painful to watch. What a mess. One can't roll like that for very long and not get violated. I like how he leveled off at 3K and then edited out the part where ATC (surely) asked him about his assignment to 6.
 
At the beginning of the video when he is filming in the Fbo one of the CRS does a double take.

"WTF is this guy doing"

LOL

As a fighter dude, where we land offset, staggered, as a formation, I didn't land on a centerline for about 15 years.

Like I said.... professionals. :)

First few NVG multi ship-flights, I kept lining up on centerline... not the best thing when flying formations.

Some habits are hard to break. Others, hard to make.

I had the damnedest time landing on centerline. It has taken me forever to shake the feeling that I'm too far to the right/pointed right (when I'm sitting in the left seat) when I'm lined up perfectly. I'm WAY better about it now (like, in the last 100 hours of my 300+ TT) but it was mystifying to a number of my instructors trying to teach me a sight picture that worked.

Agreed, love all three of them.

The ferry trips he did in the Mooney were very cool to watch. I also like that "flight chops" dude he's got some pretty cool stuff as well actually probably the most interesting of them all in fact.

I dunno about the jet guys, but with props, it was to get the engine running and warming. Also, if the engine didn't start, there was no need to contact clearance. As far as ATIS/AWOS goes, I was taught to get it before engine start, usually just before beginning my pre-flight when I turned on the batt to lower flaps and check lights.
 
It's amazing what some of these youtubers make. The fouseytube guy has made over $2 million from pranks. 1.26 billion lifetime views at roughly $2k payment per million views.

This dude is an idiot, and a cocky one too. His video was posted on reddit and a few people were openly critical of his attitude and antics, his response was:

Surprised a bored fed hasn't (to my knowledge) had a field day with that. "Hey, let me film myself cruising along at 700 AGL over the top of downtown Oakland"

Quick question, why do all those dudes get ATIS and clearance with the engine/s on? It's been a looong time since I flew GA, but thought why waste the money burning dead dinosaurs.

Umm...piston GA typically doesn't have the luxury of a gate with ground power to power the radios to grab clearance/ATIS without draining the ships battery. Plus fuel burn on a piston at ~1000 rpm is negligible unlike a jet at ground idle.
