Live from the Flight Deck
An evening pause: The music is by Two Steps from Hell and is called “Victory.”
If you ever wondered why pilots fall in love with flying, this video might give you a hint as to why.

From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

Robert,
The music is “Victory” by “Two Steps From Hell” not the other way around. There music goes so well with this kind of video. I’ve heard it used a lot in all sorts of things. TV adverts, trailers etc
One of my favourites is : Two Steps From Hell – Heart of Courage (Invincible) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NGtL3HUPUo
Been there, done that, got the T shirt !
26 years as a Delta pilot, 22 years (concurrent) in both the Navy (A-7) and the Air National Guard (F-16).
What a fantastic ride that career was !!
Great video ! Very authentic.
Simon Mytton: Thank you for the correction. The post is fixed.
It’s been a long time since I’ve ‘been behind the wheel’ so to speak, and I’ve driven a car faster than I’ve flown an airplane, but I used to tell people flying was the most fun you could have with your clothes on.
