Hey guys,

We have a new feature here on the forums, you can now embed YouTube videos right on the page instead of providing a link.

Here's how:

I'm not sure why you thought it was fake, but it looked like JJ in the left seat.

My only question would be, Who filmed it?

Nope, I'm pretty sure it wasn't JJ in the left seat, because he never flew that jet in the left seat.

Then you should have said it was JJ in the backseat with lectric tape over the fourth stripe.

But back to the 2nd video, I am pretty sure I had the F/O as a cab driver in Montreal (he still had trouble speaking American). I think they are Canucks not red necks definitely from up north somewhere.

Nope, didn't do that either. I did a normal back seat check out, wearing my 4 stripes (as per the chief pilot's fcif) until I finished IOE. The minute I was told I'd passed IOE, off came the 4 stripes and on went the 3 stripes. Never had a problem with that, unlike the guys whom you are talking about. Just another FedExism, relative to the "dress code." It never should have been tolerated.

The second video is Transafrik flying diesel fuel from Luanda, Angola out to the diamond mines in the east. The rebels had blown up the pipelines and the roads were dangerous. The only way to keep the equipment in the diamond mines running was to fly the fuel out there. They needed to keep those mines running to fund their war efforts.

They found the rebel leader Jonas Savimbi in early 2002 and pumped some bullets into him. Safe to say, the civil war is over for now.
