Hey Bone these take me back when I was first learning to fly. I was working as a contractor for the DOD after I came out of service. I had buddy that was a courier for the Navy and he would fly down to Chase Field in Beeville and pick me up in his T-39 Sabreliner and take me to NAS Meridian in Mississippi with him sometimes. That baby would climb like a homesick angel. Your cam shots sure bring back some great times.

That's a treat when you're working on your ratings. My dad flew the T-39 for awhile when he was in the AF. He went from flying bombers to the T-39, and he loved it.
Hey Bone, You must be using TrackIR. Nice panning.
Man FSX is looking so darn real. Let X-Plane do that.
Loved the view into your office. It is nice to see what goes on behind the locked doors. Thanks for sharing. :salute:
LOL. Yeah that large HDTV is realling something. Have you got yours yet?
The FO was calling out the V-speeds on the intercom. The video glasses was just picking up ambient sound, so you weren't hearing what I was with my headsets. I did have the external speaker on, but the volume for it was low. I turned the volume up for the Nassua clip.
We normally deploy the reversers just after the ground spoilers auto-deploy. We fly into alot busy places with minimum intervals between landing planes, so the drill is to get off the runway as soon as possible...something that GA pilots don't get, and we end up having to go around sometimes because they're just coasting down the runway taking their time.

Ah.
Sounds like harsh words and bloody noses should the airliner guy ever meet that GA guy...
At busy airports with high density airline traffic, ATC will normally tell the GA pilot to plan on minimum time on the runway, and most do it after they're told that. But, they don't do it on their own as a matter of course, because they want to get as much life out of their brakes as they can. Many flight departments are on a tight budget, so that's what they're concerned with.
But, go arounds at airports like New York, Atlanta, Chicago, ect, screw up alot of things, and aren't cheap. A little added brake wear is nothing compared to the fuel and extra wear and tear of a go around, and ATC vectoring alot of other planes around to fit you back into the sequence costs more money for everyone...it's kind of like falling domino's. Alot of GA pilots don't realize that.
I had to go around in Atlanta last week because a Citation X took his time, even with the controller fussing at him to get off the runway. He smarted off to the controller, and was given the dreaded phone number to call. Oh well.

I find it interesting to hear your side of the commercial and recreational (GA) pilot mix.
I am about 5 hours short of my private license. If I am told to expedite a take-off or do a short approach, I decline and wait. If they request that I exit the runway rapidly, I ignore them, because I do not have sufficient skill to do that without causing an accident (repeat, I am still not licensed). Of course a few turbo props and some twins (reciprocating) are the fastest planes here, and there are at least four flight schools. I do appreciate the experience of training at a towered airport where being one of 8 people in line to land as the tower controller spits clearances rapid fire is quite common. We are not encouraged to do sloppy landings.
The main commercial operator is staffed by very friendly pilots who request the crosswind runway and do what they can to stay out of the way.
