NICE AWES0ME KEEP_IT_UP! ✨🎉✨🎉✨🎉🎉🎎🎭🎎🎭🎎🎭🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎑🎑🎑🎑🎑🎑🎑✨🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎀🎀🎀🎀
It’s crazy how diverse it was back in those days. Now it’s mostly A320s and 737. Thank you very much for this gem
It's true.
There were a lot of 747s
Yep...now that the MD-80s were retired last year.
It sucks, but airlines do need more efficient aircraft in the end.
Jovany Labardy I wish we could still see scenes like this. I wonder if in a few decades time, people will be feeling nostalgic over videos from 2020 of generic 737-800’s and a320’s. Seems hard to imagine doesn’t it?
Planes involved in accidents/Incidents or such events: 55:50 N591UA involved in 9/11 attacks 2:49:05 Continental DC10 Causing Airfrance 4590 to crash 1:09:11 Atlasair 747 hitting 3 of its engines during landing in 2020
Wow, thanks for sharing
Crazy that both the plane that went down in a field in 9/11 and the plane that killed concord were at LAX this day for the cameraman to record. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing, super interesting
United 93
Gives me chills wow.
55:50 the registration is N591UA and... well, that was United 93. You have to pause it at the right moment but anyways, hard to think that that exact plane would be hijacked and crushed into nothing. R.I.P to all those who died on 9/11
It would be even more sad if that landing was taken on September 10th.
great catch
Same year too man...
Amazing catch and gives me chills.
Holy shit that’s crazy….isn’t that the flight that crashed in PA?
6:05 ooo baby look at that BUTTERY LANDING 58:25 Continental 😪
Isn't continental United?
En Ei Zee no it’s not it’s an actual airline
@@leeeun2708 United bought continental and took their logo.
Javian Johnson Continental again 38:55
Extreme butterization
Back when the 777 was still the new kid on the block. I miss MD-11s and 747s
Yeah, and now they’re retired in Delta
All 3 are retired. 747, 777, and Md11.
@@CommuterRailProductions you see 777s everywhere now, Lots of cargo airlines like FedEx still have the MD-11. The same for the 747, don’t see much of them anymore though, unless there freighters sadly. and only very few passenger 747s exist. Air India still have 747s with passenger service though which is cool.
@@aviationin4k258 well, I’m talking about the delta fleet.
well, at least Lufthansa, and Saudia still operate the 747
15:41 today was the last day that KLM flew a 747 to LAX, I’ll definitely miss seeing that memorable bird flying the skies
Last rev flight from LAX wasn't today.
dang and from Amsterdam 🤯 thats a very long flight
Yep and the last flight of this united 757 55:45 which later on got hijacked on september 11 2001 😔 registration N591UA
57:40 Oh look! A US Postal Service B727! How adorable!!
Timothy Cook so cute
55:51 its United flight 93 got the same registration number N591UA
Branden Baltimore holy shit
@@bsosmoove somebody already registered that
2:49:05 If I am correct that aircraft is N13067, a DC-10 of Conntinental Airlines. That was the aircraft which in July of 2000 had lost a metal strip at Paris Charles De Gaulle, after that F-BTSC an Aerospatiale Concorde operating as Air France Flight 4590 took off from CDG and hit the strip, causing a fire which led to it crashing shortly after takeoff.
KTJ Mitchell your correct
So the Continental DC 10 Registered as N13067 in the video got grounded or got into maintenance?
@@Interdictiondeltawing that is correct
@@ktjmitchell7722 so it grounded or it in maintenence?
@@Interdictiondeltawing i believe it was matinence
55:50 N591UA involved in the 9/11 attacks in 2001 2:49:05 Continental DC-10 N31067 Causing Air France Flight 4590 to crash in July of 2000 1:09:11 Atlasair 747 hitting 3 of its engines during landing in 2020 it's registration is N408MC 15:41 A KLM 747 landing at LAX 2:32:38 a Philippines 747 Taxiing registration:N75SPR 57:02 that High Flare tho coming from the L-1011s landing 8:10 MD-11 landing 45:19 A Southwest Boeing 737 2:41:40 a Hawaiian DC-10 landing 17:23 L-1011s landing and a Boeing 727 46:41 A Airbus A330-200 Taxiing
Hawaiian Airlines didn’t copy American’s old livery. The truth is that Hawaiian Airlines used to lease aircraft from American, so the livery stuck.
@@EthansAviation_that makes sense, thanks for explaining
Actually those arent hawaiian MD 11s they never had MD 11s they had DC 10s
N591UA yep that’s Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania
Man! Do I miss that L-1011. I've flown aboard that plane at least twice and loved the way it sounded when it started. I always felt the window vibrating whenever it would start at the airport, and I'd feel it inside the aircraft. What a powerful jet it was!
The L-1011 and 727 landing at 17:23 makes me feel nostalgia for planes I never even got to see.
2:32:38 That’s my mother arriving in the Philippines B747 That was 19 years ago, my dad and my sister were there too, I wasn’t born at the time when they came. My mom said that she arrived at that exact moment, the skies looked like that too, what a coincidence
Wow that’s cool
So sad that boeing 747 pal is now retired
Remember when PAL had A340s?
I like how there are more planes then just southwest.
Miles Diggs LAX is Southwest busiest hub, that’s why you see so many of their planes landing and departing there.
Alvaro Favela Chicago Midway is. Next closest is maybe Dallas or Baltimore. Southwest’s main operations is in Dallas. Now the info about having more traffic at MDW thank LAX was from late 2019, but LAX was like 100 departures a day off so I doubt it’s changed that much.
Chicago Midway is Southwest largest hub.
And united
@@alvarofavela2918 oh no wonder lmao
46:40 EI-LAX still serving Aer Lingus well to this day!
It flew to Bordeaux a little while ago
Kevin Andrew think she has been stored a few weeks ago
Just shows how amazing these beast are
EI-LAX spotted in LAX... cool!
Not Anymore 😔. Scrapped in NOC back in 2022
I feel really happy watching this. So many tri-jets. So many 747s under American carriers. That iconic AA livery. Scenes like this can never be replicated.
I love how many 747’s there are. You would never see that many these days. Thanks for all the likes. Never knew i would get this many likes!
LAX was the home of 747
I know right!
Even less now they’re all being retired cause of this damned virus.
Adam Reynolds only 1 a380 in the sky rn and that’s a Qatar one
Lots of DC-10’s too!
Amazing and beautiful! So many trijets, 747s, 727s, huge diversity of liveries and airlines. Nowadays all you see are A320s and 737s. The glory days of plane spotting are long gone sadly.
17:10 best moment
Wonder if that was the Tristar's self-landing tech.
Edmonton Rails it sure looks like it
17:19 Delta B727 and 2 Delta tristars
True dat
I think there racing
I wish i was born in the late 1980s and NOT 2005. I cannot believe i missed all of this!!! Btw good video.
Same here. Aviation was very interesting and exciting back then.
I can't believe 20 years ago feels like two, the marginal quality of the video makes it look older than it looked experiencing it first hand. Was born in the late 70s and flew on nearly every aircraft type shown here with exception to the MD-11, though I have been on DC-10s. I can tell you that from a comfort (if flying above economy) and safety standpoint the 2010's have been the gold standard in aviation but nothing quite like the whine you got on a 727, DC-9 or the thrill of the L-1011 (I miss those the most). You can still find 757s -- which in my opinion are amazing aircraft to fly on and any pilot will tell you it's one of their favorites -- I still think it's one of the best looking. Sadly CV-`19 is going to phase out a lot of 75s 76s and 747s. Fly on the a380s while you still can, those are going away fast.
Chafano Nash I was born in 84. I used to spot here with my dad and we could walk up to the gates inside the airport until 9/11.
2001 here and i freaking agree !!!
Was born in the last quarter of '89, and was damn lucky - as the 90s into the very early to even mid 2000s was still a glorious time in terms of the classics still flying.
The planes in this video become rarer and rarer...especially with COVID 19, airlines are retiring their 747s, 757s, Md-80 series aircraft, and 767s. Soon it’s just going to be A320/21s, 737s. No more dolphin nosed 757s or elegant 767s or T-tail MD-80s
I love the dolphin nosed 757s, truly beautiful aircraft and the "hot rod" or "muscle car" of the skies.
None of what you said is true
Or three engined planes
Like I've said unfortunately....at the end, Airbus wins!
Even some airlines got bankrupt by COVID-19. I also heard that Boeing might be retiring. :(
I flew on a 747-400 Korean air as a child. I remember being scared the floor would fall out. How far I have come since then... It's amazing to see all the 747's l-1011's, dc-10 and md-11's, 767's, and md-80's. Now all you see are 737's and a320'd with the ocasinal DHC-800. Thank you for sharing.
You know I never realized what a high flare angle those L-1011s land at and consistently so if you pay attention. 57:02
True
That looks like delta airlines 191
@@aviationking8588 If it were the infamous 191, it would have touched down on a highway, and killed a poor kid on his 21st birthday, then careened into a water tank breaking into several pieces with (ironically) those who chose smoking having the best odds of surviving.
@@wizardmix Windshear. Nothing to do with the L-1011
@@shrimpflea Are you referring to the high flare angle or 191? If 191, yes the aircraft was fine, the failure to go around or react quickly enough to windshear conditions was the primary reason for that crash.
Love the Southwest paint job at 45:19. Love the Hawaiian shiny silver plane at 2:41:40. Sharp. Old school.
Not sure Hawaiian pulled off the silver plane Maybe because of the purple and silver but I preferred Americans all silver planes better
I flew on that exact southwest plane
Jon Boxleitner kinda looks like the old American livery.
At a time when no one needed winglets. (Except some 747s and MD-11s.)
And all Airbuses minus the A300
Love the old trijets. Something reminiscent of the romance of flying, even tho they guzzled the gas and blew smoke. That 727 is a pure classic that’ll always look good!
At 8:00 the China Eastern MD-11 starts reverse before even touching down
That's right

Amazing video. I love these old school, throwback videos. Planes that are retired, airlines that ceased operation, old liveries to the airlines that still flies today. It a great way to honor them all back in those days. We don't realise that even 19 years ago, a lot has happened from newer planes, new airlines (even if it was short lived), and updated liveries. I enjoyed it all. Thank you.
I remember the grey United airplanes.. Continental.. America West.. everything merged. Soon, we'll fly United Nations Airlines.
Lol
all died
Soon it will be Unitedelta American Airlines
@@betrousaltaweel really do think other airlines will merger to
@@betrousaltaweel yup!
Man aviation back then was far more amazing than aviation of the year 2016. But Aviation in 2016 and aviation in the 1990s are both amazing paradises to experience and that there’s only ticket that can take you to the aviation paradise. Even in the year 2016 there are many different beautiful aircraft to see, but the nostalgia in the 1990s to an aviation lover like myself just cannot be beaten! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So many old liveries, airplanes, and even airlines that are no longer with us. The nostalgia hits hard.
I can't believe there are people who would willingly watch all 3 hours of this. *makes popcorn and bookmarks favorite planes*
Double 747 approach and landing at 2:31:15. Rare sight these days.
That was epic!
Rarety both in the sense of seeing two 747s on parallel approach, as well as the fact that I think in general those kinds of approaches don't happen at LAX all that often these days.
2:48:48 That's the DC-10 involved in the Concorde crash in Paris, N13067. The one that shed the metal strip.
RIP Concorde
Rip
The DC-10 is so dangerous you don’t even have to be on it for it to kill you
The plane is scrap now
You’re correct it has the United and Italy
Awesome video! I sure miss those Tristars and DC-10's.
42:02 thumbnail you come for
Ah yes, the good old Delta MD-11. Good old times.
@@JA-mh9gq it's an l-1011 Tristar ಠ_ʖಠ
I really like the retro look of the camera...
Download vhs cam off your phones app store and you can record with the same look. I know what you mean i love it takes me back to my childhood lol
This somehow brings back memories I´ve never actually collected, if you know what I mean. With the retirement of the L-1011, the golden era has ended; at least that´s the feeling I have. Beautiful plane.
Agreed although I do remember this time well as well as the L10 -- which I flew on a couple of times. I also love the look and reputation of the 757.
i always remembered seeing the trijets at the airport when i was young, i always knew them as the cool plane with the engine on top, i don't remember if i ever actually flew on one but i know they're pretty much extinct now
So nice to see all these Tri-Jets... what a different world this was. This is one of the most nostalgic videos I’ve seen
2001, January. the year I was born amazing to see how many classics were alive and in their prime in these videos. When I went spotting for the first time in my younger years I managed to catch loads of these classics on their ending time. Awesome video!
My grandpa helped design the L-1011 TriStar. It’s a great plane!!
Seeing the livery, so much has changed like the Cathay Pacific.
This video is very nostalgic and really shows you how commercial aviation changed after 9/11 and what it was just pre-9/11. The plane technology has changed so much in just more than 20 years.
At 55:46 is the same plane that would operate as United 93
@@andycheng9066 I know!
This is my most favorite plane spotting video. Seeing all this stuff you don't see anymore.
Great airport, really busier times. I could sit here and watch the traffic for hours. And a lot of big birds in those days! B747s, B767s, B757s, DC-10s, MD-11s ... massive ships, and the pilots just "kiss" the ground as they land. Amazing! Thanks for these posts, and please keep 'em coming!
I just realized there were barely any Airbus aircraft in the US back then
Timothy D the good days
Airbus, especially A220 and A320 are the way of the future. Especially as Boeing continues to stumble around, and equip even brand new clean sheet aircraft with old and tired designs that harken back to a byegone era of aviation instead of looking at the future.
Delta L1011 is just always a perfect sight.
Especially in the real Delta livery. The black mask and widget livery.
@@DrSeuss-nv9hw totally agreed!
It's incredible that the 777 -200, is 20 years old already. To me it's still the new kid on the block. 😎
757 from Mexicana😯😪
Minute?
Minute 2:34
I was eighteen years old, my mom and I got stuck in Los Angeles back in the summer of 2001 after we arrived from San Diego. We were supposed to fly to San Francisco because our flight was delayed. We rebooked our flight to Oakland for a visit.
Whooaaaahhh... Good Old Days. Thank you so much for uploading this.
What a treat to see planespotting from over 20 years ago! So many Queens! Great unobstructed vantage point!
LOOVE the old aircraft in these videos! Old is gold
I remember as a kid - at night on the freeway in LA and seeing just the tails of American Airlines planes lined up and parked at their gates. My parents drove on a freeway slope just enough to capture that scene. The tails were BIG to me as I never really seen that before. It was that iconic AA logo among the airport lights. For some mysterious reason, that very image sunk in with me to this day. And it was, and is, profound to me. I saw a whole fleet of identical planes as if there was a world plan and organization to the world I live in. It felt epic. It felt something was on fire. I felt that I wanted to be part of this when I grow up. And today, I am still far from it because I live far away from it. I still keep dreaming though thanks to that memory and other memories along with it. This is a fantastic video and the nostalgia is real for so many.
12:42 DC-9-30 w/ SATCOM?????
Lgx2011 Legend airlines was the first to offer inflight satellite TV!
I had the same thought! I had to go google the airline.
Great stroll down Memory Lane! Thank you!
Great video! Brought back old memories. I was working on my CPL license at SNA during this time. I remember flying thru LASFR over LAX during this time. Time flies!
My goodness the variety of airline and aircraft is just amazing, compared to now
Love how many tri-jets there
Jaden Hao Ern yeah I think I saw a few Lockheed 1011
Beautiful landings, Beautiful Aircraft and Beautiful Liveries.
Yall are real bros, thanks for this look back in time.
What a blast from the past thank you so much
Wow amazing. How the current LAX planespotting streams would have looked back then! ✈️💙👏
Love what appears to be filming from a rooftop or observation deck. That's the best angle to get all of the action.
I just looove aircraft soooo much!!!😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤
Outstanding! AMAZING how much better the variety was 20 yrs ago.
Truly, it's such a pity.
55:50 If you look Closely at the registration its N591UA It was one of the planes involved in 9/11 The plane slammed into a field in Pennsylvania if i am correct.
Amazing throwback footage!
Absolutely stunning
This is great. MD-11s, DC10s, 737-200, 747-400s and more, classic liveries. Airlines that don't fly into LAX, Thai, and defunct airlines. This is an AVgeek dream. So cool.
L-1011 is my favorite.
and one L-1049 showed up 2:03:50
back in the days when there were fewer a320s and 737s compared to this days
4 Engine Aircraft Are Very Rare Now Days now its all 2 engine aircraft im happy the B767 and 757 survived Though.
That Thai jet is painted so beautifully 🌟
woooow back in the days what a beautiful video
🇬🇧🙋🏾♀️Wow 🤯what a variety of beautiful liveries. The chrome looking finish on the AA has never been beaten as a livery imo 👌🏾💜❤️💜
Very nostalgic. Quite heartbreaking watching all those airlines no longer flying.
Why aren't they
outcast A lot of airlines went bust after 9/11 and a lot of them merged as well.
@@TheEilypily went bust?
@@TheEilypily speaking of 9/11, at 55:45 that’s N591UA. Aka United 93.
@@outcast1177 9/11 shook the aviation industry, some were angry it happened, many more were terrified of flying. The smaller airlines that didn’t have the finances to backup their losses went bankrupt, and either sold of their aircraft/scrapped them, or merged/bought by larger airlines, unfortunately, most airlines want their aircraft to have their designs on them to draw in more passengers, so most smaller airlines simply vanished. Same thing with the aircraft, airlines struggled to keep the more unreliable/inefficient aircraft due to the extremely thin profit margins, so some of them were scrapped. Not long after, there was a recession, and people stopped flying, then fuel prices spiked and any aircraft that couldn’t operate efficiently was either running at a loss or extremely close, which wasn’t worth it, so we ended up with 737s, 777s, a321s etc, the ‘bland’ simple aircraft.
I Love this Video and I miss 2000~2001 Thanks for Sharing
Thank you for sharing this rare and amazing footage just 2 months before the world changed.
What a great view at 17:15! parallel 727 takeoff and L1011 landing. And a 747-400 and another L1011 taxying past.
8:10 Varig 😢
Senna...
Congratulations ! Terrific job !!
this is the best video EVER. The nostalgia got me good
Ah 2001! Days of Tri-Jets and diverse airplane liveries
Gerard Lang Nearly all gone now, apart from a few cargo operators. also many classic 747-100/ -200 / -300 series, which have since disappeared from the skies, with just a few -200s and SP’s about. Soon to be followed by the -400, as KLM and Qantas retired theirs this week. I was fortunate enough fly twice on a Qantas 747 many years back.
@@Goldenrod01 it was a colorful time. The days before mega mergers and the obsession for twin jets, but you're right. Now, even the A380 is starting to phase out.
Bill G Qantas did not retire their 747s yet
Met I can’t tell you my last name my mistake, I thought they had
That Lufthansa livery looks so timeless
I love airports and watching planes, I would have loved it more in 2001 or 1968 or something - wish you had 4K video then!
This is absolutely legendary
Looking forward to it , thank you :)
55:41 This plane served United Airlines Flight 93.
Is it the same registration
@@andres_35floresunfortunately yes
Wow the memory’s bring back memories and it’s amazing because some of the planes only have one left in the world and it’s amazing that this was 2001 wow 19 years ago and I want to become a pilot when I grow older
Such a variety of planes ❤️
I think the a340 is beautiful!!!
So many forgotten airlines, and the last era seeing the dangerous DC10's
You've obviously drank the un-informed Kool-Aid of and have lack of even a small iota of any knowledge of the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 series>>The DC-10 was NOT and is NOT a dangerous airplane--I built them, flew them and maintained them for many years---the DC-10 jumbo jet series airliner by McDonell Douglas was one of the best jumbo jets ever---and in 1978 after the horrible crash of the AA in Chicago--the DC-10 underwent one of the most in depth and detailed drill down studies EVER of an engineering review done by the FAA for MONTHS--and passed with flying colors. The cause of the crash was NOT the aircraft--in fact----it was a faulty maintenance procedure used by AA Maintenace crews to change the wing engines--(and others did the same thing BTW). Modifications were made and it NEVER happened again---45 years later!!>>> Most people like you, obviously do not understand the vastness of scope of engineering, manufacturing and tens of thousands of thousands of maintenance, inspection, overhaul procedures and human talent that it takes to make AND KEEP these type of engineering marvels flying EVERY DAY for so many millions of hours and MILLIONS of miles and for over the forty decades as they have been!!!!!. An airliner is NO WHERE NEAR the simple machine like a car, a boat, a train or an engine-----more like a like a space rocket, they are the most complex, detailed, phenomenal examples of as close to perfection as a machine can be---and because they ARE machines>>>yes things sometimes break and fail---but again--for you and others like you to call the DC-10 series jumbo jet airliner "dangerous" is not only unfounded, asinine, foolish--it as also unwarranted as well based on the millions and MILLIONS of safe and accident free miles and hours flown by the "Big Ten" since 1970--and still flying around the world today and into the future>> 'Nuf said>>
