Known for his entertaining, educational, well-produced, and downright fascinating videos, 74gear (Kelsey) has shown the world just how exciting it can be flying the 747; and it's bigger, more rare cousin, the Dreamlifter. Join me, LO, as I sit down with 74gear via Skype on the other side of the plane. We talk about his YouTube channel, his life flying around the world, his expansion into more social media, and a well known and controversial debate currently raging online involving intellectual property of plane spotters and "repost pages" on Instagram!
