[01:18:04] S1: So what is your favorite type of plane flying? You think you can guess. [01:18:07] S0: So what do you what do you what would you guess? Serious. There you go. Well? I I've had I definitely didn't sense this aircraft. Mean, I flew the Gulfstream g five fifty. It's an American built airplane. You could tell it's American built. It's like driving a GMC. Oh, no. Everything is just so big. Everything is like the throttle lever is like this big. It's like, you know, everything is just like even they have double, they have quadruple for everything. So I I really love that airplane. The Challenger is just an amazing airplane. I mean, was this was my first, like, real jet I ever flew, and, and it's such a capable, mission oriented airplane. But there's nothing like taking them a small little Cirrus and flying around the mountains and going to to small little airports. And, you know, there's nothing like really getting to experience and enjoy flying. You know, in these airplanes, you don't really enjoy flying as much because it's very, very process oriented. You get in the cockpit and they have a there's a script and a checklist, and you file the flight plan. The autopilot fly most of the time. It's very, very, like, man you know, not not very manual. You don't really get to enjoy flying. [01:19:02] S1: Okay. So we're on the tarmac. What is the most challenging plane to fly? What is the most difficult one? Challenging?

[01:19:02] S1: Okay. So we're on the tarmac. What is the most challenging plane to fly? What is the most difficult one? Challenging? [01:19:10] S3: Yeah. I would guess, a tailwind, tailwheel. Sorry. A plane that has this is a tricycle, so it has one gear in the front and two in the back. Other most small airplanes, they have the one gear in the back, and that's very challenging, especially during taxi and landings. I don't have much experience on them, but I've tried it a few times. It is very challenging. [01:19:36] S1: By the way, I could tell when we landed that you were an air force pilot. It was a good landing? Yeah. It was [01:19:42] S3: Not Navy. [01:19:43] S1: It was great. I mean, we have it on film. We could show you. Couldn't even feel it, but I I mean, we were joking because there is a certain, I'm not going to name names, but there is a certain airline around here that is a, is a Navy landing every single time. It is so hard. [01:19:59] S3: It's called professionally firm. What [01:20:03] S1: do you think is the most challenging? [01:20:05] S0: To to fly? Yeah. I don't know. I flew on like a g one fifty once. [01:20:11] S3: They're pretty old. [01:20:12] S0: That was a pretty old airplane. I was like, I I didn't I I didn't fly it, but I saw the pilots flying it. It looked like they were they were sweating.

[01:20:12] S0: That was a pretty old airplane. I was like, I I didn't I I didn't fly it, but I saw the pilots flying it. It looked like they were they were sweating. [01:20:17] S3: And I do anything else? No. I wouldn't do anything else. Really? Yeah. It is challenging. It's being a lot outside of the house, on the road. You get to, learn how to live out out of a suitcase, a small carry on, but it's it's always dynamic. It's always new places, new cultures. I've flown this to Sao Paulo, Brazil, and I've flown it to Nome, Alaska. You do have to make stops sometimes for other considerations. Like, we could we could make it, but we really don't wanna end up at the very far end of Alaska with minimum fuel. So we take this into consideration. We made a stop on the way, but it this was one hell of a of a an experience. We saw polar bears there. It it was pretty cool. [01:21:04] S0: Sam. Another area, by the way, that's, like, quite quite crazy, like, the catering on airplanes. Like, people order, like, the airline catering, and it's so expensive. It's such bad food. [01:21:14] S1: Such bad food. [01:21:15] S0: Everybody just orders DoorDash. It's way better. It is. Get In N Out or get Chick fil A. People just prefer that. You'd be surprised. You think you're flying private is all about fancy fancy dining, but there's nothing like a good [01:21:28] S3: cheap and always priced the same, whether you take it on an airplane or in a car. [01:21:33] S0: That's funny. And then passengers love it. They they they really they they just don't they just don't care.

[01:21:33] S0: That's funny. And then passengers love it. They they they really they they just don't they just don't care. [01:21:39] S1: Okay. That's a good tip. Catering, don't do it. [01:21:42] S0: Don't Uber do [01:21:43] S1: Eats or DoorDash? Yeah. Okay. Cool. Well, thank you so much. Thank you for flying us You're welcome. Lovely flight.
