Before GPS, pilots relied on radio towers to find their way. They'd tune into a station, and an instrument would guide them. Now, GPS allows for direct routes, making air travel more efficient every day.

If a plane has engine trouble, pilots can still land it safely. Even without engines, they have options. It's somewhat safe.

Having a mechanic on a flight in case something breaks sounds crazy. But it's real! They send mechanics on board just in case. What exactly are they supposed to do if the aircraft breaks?

Without enough air speed, landing becomes dangerous. Air speed is what allows a plane to glide safely. General aviation planes often cruise around 10,000 feet, unlike aircraft that fly at 30,000 or 40,000 feet.

After 32 years, this pilot still finds awe in aviation. Flying is safe. Starting out, the best part was being around airplanes—a true passion. It's a cool thing, isn't it?

Pilots used to adjust the fuel control on MD-80s like adjusting the carburetor of an old car. Now, Airbus computers do it all. So much simpler when all the sensors are working!

Ever wondered what it's like inside a Boeing 747? This aircraft enthusiast reveals a secret 'attic' above the cabin, making the plane feel three times bigger. It's a whole other world up there!

Afraid of flying? Statistically, you really shouldn't be. Mechanically, airplanes are incredibly safe. Most accidents come down to human error. So relax and enjoy the ride!

It's even worse inside the plane! Especially where the AC components are. You're talking 150 degrees! It gets pretty hot out there.

Mojave was amazing because I got to see the Dick Rutan brothers, the minds behind the Voyager flight around the world. Their hangar was there, and I saw them building the carrier aircraft for Virgin Galactic's rocket ship. Pretty awesome!

When we fly into smaller airports without approved maintenance vendors, solving aircraft issues becomes tricky. We'll either fly into bigger airport or send one of our mechanics with the plane to handle any problems. It all depends on the circumstances.

Think everyone flies into Vegas? Nope! While aviation plays a role, most visitors actually come from California and neighboring states. The sheer volume of people driving in from LA is a huge part of Vegas's business.
