Reminds me of the wonderful Richard Scarry books and drawings

Your audio is really funky dude. 😋😂

What a horrible sounding narrator

13:00

Huh… I imagine with the massive amounts of lift that the U2 can generate (necessary to fly so high up), that it could absolutely land at the speed a fast car can get up to.

I swear instead of "U2" I heard: "Within that car is another YouTube pilot."

You’re the best one

Fly by the Bermuda Triangle there should be a follow me airplane

please add closed captions for deaf people

how do I get this job?!?

Where to take off? Follow the lamborghini at speed, pull back the stick and raise your landing gear. Goodbeye!

Work on the audio quality plz

Saw this car in racing 🏎

Plot twist: the Lamborghini is the actual plane

I was confused why I'd never heard of these until you said we don't have them in the US 😛

Follow Me car: "Follow Me" Pilots: "I think this car has a questline for us"

8:30 look that he wants a real take off let him do

Thank you for this video! @Captain Joe, Since you're based in Luxemburg, you've probably visited Saarbrücken? Have you been at the airport there (probably not with the 747 ;-) )? Funny thing is... as often as I've been at EDDR, there was always the follow me car. And the funny part about this is.. the airport has one runway (for jets), one taxi way and like two apron parking stands. Still always the follow me car 😂😂😂 I find that very hilarious because at big airports like EDDF I barely see a follow me car....

Goose clip possible most funniest 😂

The U2 is still in service.

I have one question for those who are seeing this video.... What are the two types of vehicles whose weight has been focused a lot??

I would think it would be really embarrassing to pull up to the wrong gate !!!

How did we maneuver the hallways of junior high/high school much less college campuses...

Never experienced a follow me car, at our field it’s use the only inbound taxiway, pick some empty grass in front of the hangar, try to avoid the bat shit crazy helis that will try to land on you for no apparent reason, and leave it there 🤣

I'd never heard of or seen such vehicles, however the instant it was described it kind of had that typical "oh, that just makes sense then" that a lot of aspects of aviation have. I have found myself behind standard airport vehicles in the past though - as the coffee delivery guy! First time on a taxiway in a Ford Transit is an interesting experience!

I used to work as a Marshaller. I remember my first night shift with low visibility. I was terryfied, i couldn't see what was in front of me, it was like 50m visibility. Great that you mention what marshaller is doing on the airport. You should decode all marshaller signs, because most of the GA pilots don't know what we want them to do.

The best pilot in the world 😘

😂 i love how the thumbnail has a lamborgini as the follow me car

They do exist tho😎

love the checklist at the end! great video

I never seen one 😭 are they in the US?

Lamborghini $200,000 Boeing 747 $240,000,000

Great video

First Time ever I heard about such a vehicle ever !!!

Thank you for another excellent video!

cuz pilots are dumb and don't know where to go otherwise?

DUS- Düsseldorf

'FOLLOW ME'? Hmm. I remember the 'Fireflash' episode of the Gerry Anderson TV series 'Thunderbirds' where three of the ground vehicles displayed 'LAND ON ME' signs...

lamborGHIni not lamborgini ahah

I didn't think the airports were still that busy.

it is Heathrow airport

I've provided a follow me service a few times. I was an airport reporting officer and works safety officer for a small regional airport (YWSL). We were under going mager upgrades and some taxiways were closed. While the nearby military base provided air traffic control for the area, my airport has no tower and as such there is no ground control. Enter the pilots who got a little lost and my plain white utility vehicle with only amber beacon lights and a radio to guide them to their parking. Not a service normally operated at such a small airport, but necessary at the time due to contruction works which I was supervising.

Good video on an under appreciated part of the airport services - maybe one next for your humble ground crew / turnaround guys, just saying like :) Also nice to your former home supporting your content, here's a shout out to SGT

Is that a JFK airport? The tower looks similar.

it's LAMBORG-INI not LAMBORJINI 🤦‍♂️

Morning Joe, brilliant video as always! At our airport we also use follow me cars on particular taxiways that don't have any taxiway lighting. If we haven't got taxiway edge and centerline lights during hours of official darkness or LVP's, a follow me will be mandatory to comply with the aerodrome license / manual and regulatory regulations.

Grüße aus Stuttgart wusste gar nicht das du von hier kommst haha 😂

Captain Joe, you’re the best!!!! From Chicago O’Hare, and Executive Tower. I agree that we need more follow me cars in Chicago! How do we get that in the books? Our winters and outdoor roads & rough and dangerous (Most of the time) You would think that we have a decent amount of emergency vehicles 8-0

"Yellow Orange bright colours"?? really I may a bit colour-blind but I see yellow and black.

If I had that Lamborghini Tower 0800: please inspect runway Me 0804: completed Tower: what so fast? Me: yes sir inspected it twice

Me: sees airport Me: is that MBS ? Also Me: no why would it be no one knows about it

Seems like million dollar planes should have a Tom Tom or Garmin and the ground control could set up your route and stop areas

What airliner do you work for?

Kind of ironic that pilots are able to fly all around the world at almost the speed of sound, being responsible for the safety of hundreds of passengers and hundreds of tons of metal which costs millions of dollars to replace and are trained to handle all kinds of unexpected failures that may ouccur somewhere over the pacific ocean, but after a successful manual crosswind landing the most challenging part of the flight exceeds their capabilities and cannot be completed without assistance: The apron. Two pilots are unable to read a map and follow yellow lines and signs, while being guided via radio to their destination. So many turns, left - and right, without prior warning by a flashing arrow sign in front of them? no way!

Great video, unbelievably cold there ... eh!

I wonder if the local taxpayers know they paid for a $500,000 Lamborghini when a $20,000 Fiat 500 would do the job just as well. If that happened in my area, the local airport commissioners would be kicked out of office.

My father used to fly gliders. The tugs they used to retrieve gliders that had landed all had a follow me sign on the back. Glider pilot humor.

Munich, i can see the control tower and that big tent thing where the entrance is

uh i have never seen this

9:09 lol Ryanair The king of back breaking landings

I'm very happy to hear that electric vehicles are being used more these days. I guess in Germany it will more likely be a VW or Audi rather than Tesla for the follow me. But it will be cool to see any of these next time I fly!

You are cool

You never rlly see these in the states

Who leads the planes to the stand, is that the assignment of ATC or a specific department?

8:23 Strange looking private jet

i have flown so many places in the world, i have never seen a yellow and black car with dots on it

Love from schwabisch gmuend

*jet fighter is taking off* gets the bugatti veyron follow me car

Grüßle zurück aus dem Schwabenländle! :-)

An Lamborguini follow-me-car. Follow me... if you can!!!

we used to go from München in days when it was like 100m track just one long corridor.! Stuttgart hour away. from us too. it's got abbreviation for Adenosine Triphosphate on its side ATP.wheres the frying pan style airfield we were told about in ATC? Good idea. double decker bus would be hilarious. couldn't miss that. do they ever clean tyre marks off?

Is this service free of charge?

why is that one screw so small? captain joe : Do you have an hour to spare?

U2 Is still in Service! After 60 years!

HAJ had an Audi R8 :) but i dont see it anymore

Super movie, super fun :)

all cars on the airport should be 100% electric

You forgot to mention the magnificent world acclaimed Trabant! How DARE you (min 11:53)!! :D :D

what mic you use please reply

After your video i would love to do the job in a follow me car. :)

Would you please tell me what does ' vertical speed ' means?

Another funny fact: Captain Joe isn’t really a captain. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yeah Tap Portugal lol

It’s a free service ?

I'm surprised they don't use mercedes, they showed at le mans 1999 that they too can achieve Vr

JFK T4 offers follow me service within T4’s ramp. You have make the request on their ramp frequency.

8:13 is duesseldorf airport

seems unnecessary but I guess it's the ultimate CYA for the airport

Dusseldorf airport based on the towe and hangars on that side?

Bist du deutscher?

Es schaut aus wie der EDDL / DUS / Düsseldorfer Flughafen bei https://youtu.be/m6nQkiqrQZU?t=498. Der Tower hat Ähnlichkeiten ich war schon ÜBER 10 Jahre nicht mehr dort. @Captain Joe Liege ich da Richtig?

Are you from Germany or have you lived there for a while? Your schwäbisch was really authentic

Here is the new checklist: Watch every video that he posted

Wusste gar nicht das das du von Stuttgart bist schön zu hören vielleicht kennst du ja backnag heiningen

that Trabant follow me car is so cool and such a unique piece of history

No in all seriousness fascinating video thanks for uploading Cpt.

05:03 Follow me to the french Alps? xDDD

United States 🇺🇸 do communication via headset to ground tower in which giving them alphabetic A,B,C,Z1,Z

My ATC friend keeps complaining about this one particular IndiGo pilot who landed twice, two weeks apart, and missed his taxiway and held everyone up both times. I guess Changi Airport needs these cars.

Capitan Joe, do you know Cotton Eye Joe?

Captain Joe Love from India ❤️. Please do a video on why car's will follow behind the lockheed U2 at the time of landing and why does it have only 2 landing wheels.
