Nerdy video of the week

Meet Mattias Bjoernstroem. Part man, part airport.

Really:

At his job at an airport in Northern Sweden, he… he does everything. From ATC to snow ploughing to ventilation repair to de-icing planes to… well… Just look at this:

00:00 Working in flight tower 04:54 Ventilation repair 07:09 Guides Boeing 738 to stand 08:41 Driving aircraft stair 09:21 Doing ground work around plane 12:44 Having a look inside cockpit of Boeing 737-800 14:28 Getting Boeing 737-800 ready for takeoff 16:00 removing aircraft stair from plane 16:15 Full Deicing for Boeing 737-800 with type 1 23:12 More work in flight tower sending the Englishmen back home 24:15 Driving vacuum car to suck up the glycol from deicing 26:04 Fault searching runway edge light problem 41:03 Towing a beech 200 to hangar 42:18 Fault searching runway edge light with electric problem 47:24 Plowing airfield with sweeper 52:05 Sweeping runway lights from snow 53:08 Using snow blower 77 to get rid of snow from airfield 53:44 Replacing a broken contact to runway edge light 1:00:36 Replacing electric well on airfield 1:05:50 Ending.

You can click on any one of the those timestamps to watch him working through another task at the airport. Amazing.

Incredibly nerdy, but also a bit fun and all rather different.
And I know a lot of 6000 miles… readers fit those adjectives quite nicely.
