But it is definitely a crazy song that does not make much sense to me... But  just for fun, if we want to give it a theological twist, maybe I would stretch it and say that a few of the lyrics -- "Take me to the Pilot of your soul" -- I can only say that as a Catholic Christian, I'd have to say that Jesus is the Pilot of my soul, I'm only the co-pilot.  Glad your flying with Christ, Capt Jeff!   Hey thanks, Capt Jeff!

I've got a good friend who's a KC-135 pilot in the AFRC who also flys American (I think) out of Chicago. He's taken me under his wing as I work to try and get a commission into the AFRC or the ANG to become a pilot. I'm 16.7 hours into my private pilot's license and should be done with my PPL by the end of February! Anyways, enough of my rambling :) We're happy to have you on Livefyre.

This was an amazing episode! Thank you for giving your background on how you came to be a pilot, I don't think I had ever known, and it was very interesting. Well, I have to say, I was enthrolled by your reading of the update of flight #447, and this says a lot coming from someone who, before your podcast, never thought aviation was something to wrap my head around. I have a few cousins who are pilots, but it was never something that turned my head. Until now! Again, great episode! I really enjoyed it! God Bless! Beth Hi Capt Jeff!

]]> Comment on Mass @ St. Patrick’s by Mary http://catholicpilot.com/mass-st-patricks/comment-page-1/#comment-418 Mary Fri, 11 Feb 2011 16:37:47 +0000 http://catholicpilot.com/mass-st-patricks/#comment-418 Jeff, The picture you took of St. Pat's is spectacular. I am lucky to work only two blocks away from St. Pat's. I attend mass there several times a month on my lunch hour. The priests are faithful and fervent, always giving meaningful homilies. They have confessions during the masses, which is convenient. I know this can be controversial for some, but in such a large edifice, it is no more disruptive than the constant stream of tourists taking pictures and oogling. They rope off the front during mass so people don't cross in front during mass. The tablenacle is in the Lady's Chapel behind the main altar. Security guards ensure that no one takes pictures or video in that area. I haven't listened to this episode yet, and just became aware of it when I opened your website. My itunes didn't download to my iPod. I look forward to each episode, and learning something new about planes. When I was 17, in 1965, my thought was that if I were a man with good eye sight, I would have been a pilot. Neither of those are obstacles now, I understand. I've been lobbying my brother-in-law, Greg, a former air force office to listen to your show. He's retired but keeps busy volunteering at church. I'm looking forward to hearing his response to your show. I think he will enjoy it even more than I do, since he actually knows what you are talking about. Best regards, Mary Ward Jeff,

I hope you had a great Christmas, New Year's, and vacation! I'm sorry I'm tardy in getting this out. Would you please talk about the Immaculate Conception? I don't think many people are aware of what it's about. I think people are under the impression it's about how Jesus got into Mary, rather than about the pure womb that would house Jesus for nine months. Thanks! Also, about when you spoke of pilots hand-flying vs. machine-flying and the sinking feeling that can happen transitioning between the two: very shortly after takeoff, as we were still climbing, woo! did we have that sinking feeling! We were all still seated. As a flight attendant, I still had my shoulder straps on and boy did I feel it on those as the nose sank! I asked the CA about it later. He said they turned on the autopilot a little before it was ready. I TOTALLY thought of you and your podcast. Thanks for a great show! Happy & safe flying! Peace, Kevin :-) Hi CA Jeff!

I loved the Tina Shafer song, thanks for introducing her to us. On the matter of a noob trying to land a 747, I wanted to share the story an old pilot buddy told me recently over a beer.

Just before touchdown, a more experienced crewman on the flight deck yelled "You're flat, HANG ON!" Instead of landing rear wheels first and easing the nose gear down, he slammed all wheels down together. Hard. The impact had so much force it dropped all the oxygen masks in the cabin! He immediately knew he'd be fired because the company had a considerable expense replacing all the masks. Fortuately, he did not lose his job. The company figured they'd spent a lot money for him to learn that lesson, it'd be foolish to fire him then :) Today he flies all freight and the load balancing is difficult to master.

Jeff, I just wanted to say I really like your Podcast. I enjoy your explanations on your profession. What I really like is that your podcasts are not glossed over. I like that you do not edit your mistakes, (like if you mispronounce a word, or get tongue tied), it would be so easy for you to delete those parts, but you don't. You are real and that is what I like about listening to you. Keep up the Great work. By the way, I purchased the movie of St. Joseph of Cupertino, and I read a book about him before I ever heard of you. I really enjoyed both, and as a new Convert to the Catholic faith, I am so blessed to experience the Wonderful World of Catholicism. You included. May God Bless you Always. Hello Cpt. Jeff,

I recently had a mini-rant on my blog about music. It was in a post about Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan was to play for Pope John Paul II, but Cardinal Ratzinger tried to not let that happen. He was not in favor of rock music. Well, the performance happened and the Pope (JP2) did a sermon on "Blowin' in the wind". Here is my rant about music. "I'm totally behind the Pontiff trying to make the music of church more reverent and more Catholic. Latin seems to be abandoned in many parishes and with it, the ancient melodies. It's tough for me to wrap my head around singing second-rate jingle music from the 70s when we have mass music by Mozart, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Dufay, and Palestrina and more. While there are loads of great rock and folk songs to sing for edification, they are not for mass. What do you think? It was nice to hear about your love of good music in church.

He was said to have been remarkably unclever, but prone to miraculous levitation and intense ecstatic visions that left him gaping.[1] In turn, he is recognized as the patron saint of air travelers, aviators, astronauts, people with a mental handicap, test takers, and weak students.

About 2 years ago I walked along the same path as you along the Mississippi River there in Memphis. I thought it was beautiful watching the barges go up and down the river. I also took notice at the pyramid building. Surprised to see it closed after being built in the 90s. Anyway, the pyramid is there because of the city's name Memphis, which is also the name of the capitol in Egypt. Anyway that riverwalk was really nice and relaxing. Great job on your first podcast. I am looking forward to hearing more. keith Hey Capt Jeff..

By the way, if you want to read insightful thoughts from a clever lady, check out Maria's blog "Another Cup of Coffee" at begojohnson.wordpress.com. And yes, the music is awesome. The band is the USAF jazz band Airmen of Note, the best big band in the world. Yeah, baby, I’m hip.

That music is a big winner--I love it. I can't decide if you're the Rat Pack or Jerry Lewis but it's perfect. It kind of reminds me of the movies in the 60's that showed the really hip pilots. Are you hip? I enjoyed it--great start, and now, no pressure. Such a clever guy. That music is a big winner–I love it. I can’t decide if you’re the Rat Pack or Jerry Lewis but it’s perfect.

Memphis was the ancient capitol of Egypt, located on the Nile River. Memphis, Tennessee is not the capitol of TN, but it is on a pretty significant river... the mighty Mississippi River.
