It's amazing how much quieter the engines have been made over the past 22 years. This actually sounds loud when I compare it with plane spotting from 2020.
Wow, some wonderful footage and memories here. So many airlines that have gone the way. Trans World, America West, Reno Air, Emery Worldwide, US Airways, North West, Continental... but lots of Delta widgets to keep us old-school spotters happy!
Those were the good years. The 777 and A320 where already in service, but old 727s and 737s still around. Food onboard, no extra charges, no crazy security.
Yes even KLM El Al Asiana JAL ANA Delta United Air France CorsAir Qantas SAA Air New Zealand Virgin Atlantic Pan Am TWA Northwest Philippinee Airlines Iran Air and Korean Air don't fly them anymore
A 747 in humble San Diego !!wow !!!😱 Time stamp 4:09. American 757 @ time stamp 6:47 ❤❤they were so beautiful in the "aluminum can", silverbird livery. Should never have gotten rid of it.🥺 United 757 in gray battleship livery @ 10:30 ❤ and the USair 757 not only do I miss the 757s here in 2024 but it's nice to see them, or any jet, without those ugly winglets !!🤐
I know it was light grayish. I should’ve said its luster was like that of a pearl, different from the other colors’ luster. But I’d best describe it as a sort of ivory because it was slightly more vibrant than the darker shade of gray used for the flag logo. Regardless, we shouldn’t get too picky about how to describe each color because it was still great. The presence of the airline was part of my childhood, I flew on it a lot with my first ever plane ride being in a US Airways A320 and there were always planes with that livery to and from the nearby PHL even long after it merged with AA. The most frequent plane I saw with it, the Dash 8, almost none of them were repainted before being retired nearly four years after the initial merge!
What's the story of that BAX Global DC-8 parked over the other side of the runway? Is that the air cargo terminal? I worked on their aircraft at KIAH in 1999 while employed with Integrated Airline Services as a ramp agent, they were one of our many clients. Really enjoyed working on those airplanes!

Great plane spotting! I forgot how many airlines there were in the 90's!

And then 9/11 happened............
The food was terrible
A lot more interesting than today
i don't agree since new planes came out. If a person from 1990 could time travel in 2023, he would probably prefer new planes
Different, but I wouldn’t say more interesting.
What a joy to see that gaggle of DC-9s; they really were the workhorses. Reno Air's livery looks especially good on a 9!
That American Eagle at 8:17 didn’t waste any time putting the gear up.
Keep these up!! These retro videos are simply amazing and bring back childhood memories
I’m digging these classic spotting videos!
This was truly amazing love going down memory lane ..wonderful thanku love an God bless x
Absolutely flawless I love old school spotting vids
I didn't know Alaska Airlines had DC-9s back in the day, wow!
You gotta tell this guy is an OG Spotter 👍
The buzzing from those A320s make them sound like L-1011s.
Cool! Thank you!!
It's amazing how much runway a fully loaded MD-80 would use. That TWA MD-80 at 10:07 was likely only flying to St. Louis.
Seeing the Alaska MD makes me think of Alaska 261 that crashed.
Awesome video that mate! 👌
Best San Diego plane spotting occured in the 80's at Miramar watching F-14's do endless "touch-n-goes"
That Saab 340 was back when San Diego still had the Commuter Terminal (RIP since 2015) with flights to Los Angeles.
I like old airliners from my childhood
Those DC9s were MD80s !
Anyone miss the British 747s?
Yes even KLM El Al Asiana JAL ANA Delta United Air France CorsAir Qantas SAA Air New Zealand Virgin Atlantic Pan Am TWA Northwest Philippinee Airlines Iran Air and Korean Air don't fly them anymore
Yes
@@perlajeansibal8171 Doesn’t KAL have 747-8s?
@@erik_griswold no im talking about there 747-400s not the -8i
I miss those and the world tail livery they had on all their planes now it's just the boring union jack livery

back when life was good
Back when we haven't had to stress about security when we have to fly
I don’t remember a320’s being this loud. At least it doesn’t seem that way now.
13:07 Reno Air..would be bought out by American Airlines a year later
6:56 canada
That saab 340 didnt waste time raising gear.
Love the ex-WA 737-300 at 11:50

Back when US Airways had the dark blue livery with the pearl white belly!
The belly was light gray, but that was definitely their best paint scheme. One of the best paint schemes ever for an an airline
