Any pilot that tells you he's never been lost is either lying or he's never been anywhere.

I have watched this before. But what I didn't catch last time is what we are hearing now. When he comes in to land and backs off the throttle there was that same popping noise that we have started to hear lately. Not quite so predominant but still, pretty cool. How many times during start -up, flight and shut down do you think he did a full settings and gauge check???

I started hearing those pops when at the highest settings. Yeh, he difinatly checks his instrument/gauges frequently. Good habit.
