Stig Shift #8 (29DEC23-31DEC23) New Year Special 

I walk a thin line… I’m just happy I can show my love of aviation to the world. However long it lasts.

Love the scimitar sharklets. Really impede wing HP side to LP side vortex formation. Really reduces fueI consumption.

Not yet. Give it time. Someone who’s very depressed and hates their own life will do everything they can to stop this. It’s absolutely disgusting people are out there like that. But they are most definitely there. I wouldn’t be surprised if AA demands payment from stig for making money off of their equipment. Even though stig is just educating the public and showing the upmost pride in his job. It doesn’t matter though.

But it benefits the airline to show this, in my opinion. So cool to see how the planes we fly on are taken care of!

Thats why you dont see the videos at some of the “contracted” labor company employees doing the same thing. No offense to anyone, but I can only imagine a Oimco or AAR video 😂😅

In case there was a fire inside the trash bin, they always have the opportunity to grab the fire extinguisher and put it out. In regards to regional jets, I never actually worked on them. I’ve always been working on the mainline Jets. And I love them all, as you said, that’s why I’m here, it’s my job and I love it.

Glad you are enjoying it. Thank you for being here

You are very right on that. And thank you for watching and enjoying.

Or the emergency slide was designed after the trash bin door location? Anyhow, a trash bin door was made on the side panel where the catering cart is located for anyone interested.

I will keep going and showing and loving Aviation. I will try to share as much as I can for as long as I can. Thank you for being here.

On C141 we laid on our belly to lower a stubborn landing gear and crank it down 400 strokes. I'm sure it's better now, it was all hydraulic.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, we all work as a one big team. Thank you for being here. If you ever fly through LAX, let me know I’ll be more than happy to come up and meet you.

Happy new year! And thank you

Hence why I said we can also work magic. 😅😂

@@StigAviation exactly bro!!!

Try tuning up a Chevy where you only have access to 6 out of 8 spark plugs… and they’re only paying you an hour labor.

@@njjeff201 Jeff go get your A&P license bro. Come work on aircraft. You’ll never go back to automotive.

@@njjeff201 but you don't have 350 passengers waiting!!!

Thank you very much Charles. Glad you enjoyed it. Happy New Year

Thank you very much Mike, I appreciate you being here and watching.

Andrew. That is a wealth of knowledge that you have, you have worked on many incredible things.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it

My pleasure! Thank you for being here

Thank you very much same to you

Thank you so much Jawanza I appreciate your kind words. And yes indeed I do love this aviation with all my heart and soul

It’s my pleasure. Thank you for being here.

Keep up the good studies, ask questions, and work hard, I’m here to help you, so don’t hesitate to ask questions

Glad you liked it!

Welcome and enjoy. Don’t hesitate to ask questions

Happy New Year sir. Thank you for being here.

It’s my pleasure Andy, if you see something that peaks your interest, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll be more than happy to explain.

Thank you very much. It’s a pleasure to have you here.

My pleasure! Thank you for watching

Wonderful, this is the information I was looking for. Thank you so much.

Thank you very much Edman I appreciate you being here

Smile. 😊. Life is good 👍

I just love my job and I love Aviation and I thank you for being here I’m listening to my banter

Thank you for being here Emili

Unfortunately, the software is very proprietary and manufacturers will never show that kind of stuff. Neither will I because I do not disclose that kind of information.

@@StigAviation I completely understand. I know this one guy (well, on the internet) who used to write that software and he would never talk in details if he ever did mention his job. They just don't mess around heh

Glad you like them!

Thank you so much for being here Tyler, keep up the good work, no matter what company you work for. At the end of the day we are still brothers, because we are both mechanics. Happy new year my friend.

I am glad you’re enjoying it Eric. Thank you for watching.

Every day is a school day, even for me.

Welcome david. I do apologize for some of the repetitive nature of the videos, but it’s my daily activities at work. Sometimes I encounter new things, new challenges, but most time it’s routine, maintenance and preventative maintenance. I try to educate along the way of the components and systems you see. Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you see something that interest you

Thank you so much for the kind words

First of all thank you very much for being here, Mike. And yes, indeed aircraft maintenance is very much in the shadows of Aviation. We do a lot more than people know. It’s not just pilots that make it safe, we are there before the pilots and we are there after the pilots. We are always there to make sure the aircraft is safe. Thank you for watching and I appreciate you.

Thank you

Thank you very much for letting me know, I appreciate you

⁠@@StigAviation No problem. Thank you for making the content you do. I was and still am into trains, cars, planes. Anything that transports people I love everything about it. Everyone was impressed with my knowledge as a kid. I was very lucky my Mom encouraged my hobbies and interests. She worked for a bank. One of her clients was financing remodeling of his house and he worked for Evergreen International as a test pilot and mechanic on their 747 fleet. My Mom and him arranged a day for me to go with him to work at Santa Barbara Airport. On that day I was lucky to see them taking an ex-Pam Am 747 (747GE) and changing into the test bed for the GE90. I think it’s a museum piece now. From that day on I knew I was going to work in Aviation. Long story short I ended up getting a rare tumor in my brain, sinuses, and spine at 18. I was told they are invasive and couldn’t remove them. I considered myself very fortunate I was able to have a short airline career, but, by 26 I could no longer work. When I found your videos, words cannot describe it. I can say they really help me with my spirts. I am now trapped in a bed not able to do much. I am also in a lot of pain. So for however long your videos are, I am transported back to better times. So I am very grateful for them. Sometimes when we do something, it may seem like a small act. But these little acts can mean the world to someone else you may have never met. To me that’s the amazing testament to aviation, it brings us together and to see the world and people. By doing that we can change our perception of our world through first hand experiences that tv or the internet can’t quite capture. Stay amazing! Wishing you to reach your goals and beyond in 2024!

Thank you so much for sharing that with me, it means a lot to me and I will continue to bring you joy of Aviation for as long as I can. I want you to keep those spirits, high and soaring just like these airplanes. I wish you a beautiful new year. It’s an honor to have you here.

I hope that day comes, and I will be more than happy to shake your hand, and I’ll even get you a cup of coffee. Thank you for being here. I appreciate you.

Thank you very much and have a beautiful flight.

Thank you! Will do! Thank you for being here Victor

Me and my goofy jokes 😅 Thank you for watching Steve. I appreciate you.

You got the best of both worlds my friend, a pilot and a mechanic is a rare thing to see. One makes you better at the other.

Congratulations my friend. You have just earned your first win in aviation. On to the next one. Start applying to jobs. We need good mechanics. Happy new year to you

Happy new year, my friend, wishing you all the best. And you are absolutely correct with the ice congestion, thankfully, those engine blades are very strong and can break up majority. I just hope they don’t fly through any kind of massive hail.

Forever and always it will be the queen of the sky. One of The most iconic airplanes ever built.

Forgive my mispronunciation of ballet. And happy new year 🎈🎆🎊

@@StigAviation You pronounced it just fine. I just thought it was such poetic way to describe the movement of these works of art.

This is absolutely fantastic information, thank you so much Michael

It was a nice change of scenery for sure. But once the winter season ends we probably won’t see these on the west coast

Happy new year 🎆🎈🎊

Thank you very much Carlos. Happy new year to you. Wishing you all the best.

Happy new year! And thank you my friend

Thank you so much and I wish you a happy new year as well. Nothing but the best for you and your family.

Thank you so much my good sir I appreciate you being here and enjoying all the beauty of Aviation. Cheers to you from LAX.

Thank you so much Brandon, I appreciate you watching it.

Thank you Jon. Much appreciated and happy new year to you and your family

😅😂😂 sometimes the simplest questions can solve the most difficult problems. 👌 it’s good to think outside of the box.

Happy holidays! And thank you 🙏

😅 call a mechanic next time 🤣🤣

It’s my absolute pleasure, and I’m very happy that I can help you conquer your fear of flying.

Yes indeed they are.

Thank you so much Grant, thank you for your kind words and beautiful thoughts. I appreciate you being here.

This takes me back to technology that was built back in the 1960s in the 1970s, we take a look at that product and we see how long it lasts. The reason it last that long because it was built by engineers that were actually hands-on, not sitting behind a desk. Practicality and design were Sitting in the same room talking to each other

Thank you so much. I’m glad I can help and give back to the industry that gave me so much.

Happy new year! And thank you

Sure is a bright one, happy new year wishing you all the best.

Happy new year! And thank you for watching and learning

Much appreciated Randy. Thank you for watching

Thank you so much for saying that, it means the world to me and it warms my heart. I will pass this to my comrades that work so effortlessly to make it worthy. We do this for the love of Aviation. We do this to make sure you are safe, not only you, but our families as well, we put our families on these airplanes. We would never dispatch anything that’s unsafe.

The good old days.

Glad it was helpful!

Happy new year! And thank you

Welcome and thank you for being here. Don’t hesitate to ask questions Aurora. I’m here to help.

Keep up the good studies, you’ll be soaring through the sky’s soon. I’m glad these videos are helping.

Thank you very much.

We love cats too.

Thank you very much John, wishing you and your family all the best throughout the holidays and the upcoming year. Thank you so much for being here.

@@StigAviation Sent 1 other message I think with a link on it. Don't know if you got it or not mate. I mentioned a pretty interesting youtube channel I stumbled across that shows some stuff about aircraft in 3D like how flight controls all work and other interesting things. Don't know how accurate it all is lol BUT guessing it would be pretty spot on. Was thinking you might be interested in taking a look and maybe mentioning it if anyone has questions. Could be easier to explain things sending them to check it out, If you know what I mean. The channel is Aircraft Science.

@@johnnyo7621 send me the link on my instagram if you have time John. I’ll check it out. Thank you once again.

A very happy new year to you as well, cheers to you from LAX

You know it 👌

Will do. Thank you for watching

Indeed, they have mentioned it, but I thank you for reiterating and telling me once again.

ahh sorry for repeating what’s already been said, i get overly excited when i see special livery’s especially ones i kinda know. i just recently stumbled upon your channel and love your incredible passion for your work and career. Coming from someone who’s still searching for his own passion, it’s always refreshing and inspiring to watch your videos! Sorry again for the bother

Keep that passion alive Chris. Thank you so much for being here.

Collin, I don’t know how to express my gratitude for your incredibly kind and loving words. I’m humbled. All I can say is thank you and I’ll keep working hard to keep you safe in the sky’s. Your words truly inspire me and warm my heart. Thank you once again sir.

Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoyed it. And I do enjoy this flashlight very much.

I wish you would have been an aircraft mechanic. You would have been great at it
