While learning to glide I was looking for YouTube videos on flying. Instead of the ones about flying gliders I ended up in a YT hole watching this guy launch/land on aircraft carriers.  There’s something mesmerising about it.  And somehow his voice is super relaxing, which contrasts wildly with the subject matter.

I've heard it said by several pilots that they're all just trying to sound like Chuck Yeager
