I got into aviation in the early 1990’s when my dad was a captain for emirates flying B727’s. I remember ordering justplanes dvds as a teenager because of my love for aviation. I started getting my licenses in 1999 and became an airline pilot in 2003 at a time when tens of thousands of pilots lost their jobs from 9/11, with 50% that remained facing 50% pay cuts. I still did it for my love of aviation. Fast forward to today, I own a flight school, I’ve left the airlines, most kids that walk into my school know nothing about plane spotting, most of them are getting into aviation for the money. I sat in my lobby a few months ago and asked them what are the top 3 longest range aircraft, I got back blank stares. None of them knew what a B747SP was. Great video. I was based at KORD from 2007-2011
"Despite their flaws" The DC-10 only ever had one real flaw and when that was fixed it became a very good and reliable plane, how else do you think did it remain in service for 40 years alongside the L-1011?
Oh memories of my days at ORD. We were the busiest then,460,000 operations annually. Worked from the tower only 60 ft high. Could not see all of the airport. Remember the supervisor we called, "Bear"! And that old cramped IFR room. 2 departure and 2 arrival positions.
The Aeroflot takeoff on 32L at 3:49-4:34 is the longest roll I've ever seen a 767 do. Must've been at (or above!) maximum certified gross weight, on a hot day.
@@thomashoefnagels8519 While the Swiss certainly had their part in the demise of Sabena, it's a stretch to say they 'dragged them down'. Let's not forget Sabena had already been 'down' for 35 years by the time Swissair came along. In the 35 years from 1960 until the time Swissair bought itself in (1995) they had been profitable for two of them. Two. Sabena was a bottomless pit, with at the time two recently failed marriages (first to British Airways and KLM, then to Air France). This wasn't a case of Swissair buying a healthy company and then ruining it, it was them buying a company that had been in and out of intensive care for 35 years, and then thinking they could grow it back to health. Swissair finally ran the company into the ground by growing the airline at a ridiculous pace (30% per year!) in the late 90s, but ironically you could say that without Swissair, Sabena would've gone under in 1995 or 1996.
So, this looks like it was filmed some time in the summer of 2001. In other words...just before the horrors of 9/11 that would forever change aviation...and all of us. That made it kinda eerie to watch this. Now, with that said, I still enjoyed this look back in time. :)
Wonderful video, really takes me back to visiting O'Hare in the '90s! Thank you for posting it. Having grown up near O'Hare in the '80s and '90s, I'm sure this video is not from 2001, though. Some of the planes seen here could not have been seen as late as then. One example is the Aeroflot 767-300 seen throughout this video, reg EI-CKD, which was traded to TWA by Feb of 2000. Another case is the elderly United 737-200 reg N9045U (landing at 51:57), which went into storage in July of 1998, and is believed to have been scrapped sometime in 2001. Love your videos...you keep posting, I'll keep watching!
is this really ohare? cause thats a LOT of farmland in the background, not to mention at 6:10 i see military tanker aircraft, and i dont think ohare was ever an air base in 2001
@@alexcook2206 i think this is more like 1997-1998 for reasons stated above by Chad Kornack but it is most certainly ORD since I recognize the terminals and runway environments.
@@alexcook2206 The stripes on the jetways for American Airlines' terminal also are a good hint that it is ORD - IDK of anywhere else where American did that.
I love this video, it's great to see for once so many American Airlines planes especially the 767-223s and 767-223ERs as well as well as the 727s. The AA Tri-bar polished metal livery never gets old. I wish more videos today featured this variety of American and United planes versus mostly foreign airlines.
Phenomenal footage as usually, JP! If this was 2001, it must be in either January or early February as United retired its last DC-10s by Feb. 15, 2001. Also see a Delta L-1011 in there and those were all gone by mid August, 2001.
@@20PINKluvr, I agree. This had to be the summer of 1999 at the latest per when Sabena parked their 747-300’s. I live in Chicago was actually working at ORD for United at the time. There’s zero chance this is January or February.❄️
You reminded me that I have flown on one of them. I wish I could remember exactly which 747 I've flown on everytime. I think the only other 300s I got to enjoy were Air India amd Swissair.
I live in the midwest and when you look at the grass and trees it looks like all of this was before 9/11. Post 9/11 things would’ve been “less green” because of fall colors
What's with all the dislikes? Haters, if you don't like these old planespotting videos, you probably shouldn't be watching old planespotting videos. Great stuff!
GREAT plane spotting was at MDW in its heyday. Oh, the DC-7s, DC-6s, DC-4, DC-3s, Constellations (all of 'em), Convair 340 and Martin 404, Boeing Stratocruiser, Viscount, Electra - WOW! And the air lines: Braniff International, Capital, Northwest Orient, Eastern, Air Wisconsin, Ozark, Piedmont, TWA! All from the safety of the roof-top observation deck. THAT was the day, folks!

Looks like Runways 22R, 9L, 27R, 32L from Tango 10, and 32R are the actives. Old Runway 18/36 appears prior to being closed and converted into a taxiway. This is the north side of the field and except for runway 32L, they are the original four runways. 14R/32L was the first runway built for jets.
Do you know where the person was standing to film this? The only place I can think of is on the top of the parking garage for the first part of the video.
10C/28C didn't exist back then. These are mostly landing 22R, 9L, 27R and 14L. Taking off on 32L from Tango 10, 32R, 9L, and 27R. This is all the north side of the airfield. 10C/28C was built on the south side. BTW, back in 2001, the Current 9R/27L was 9L/27R and the current 10L/28R was 9R/27L. What is now 9L/27R had not been built.

There still common at ORD bte

go to Anchorage like 80% of the traffic there is 747s

You have to admit, despite their flaws - the DC10 is a good looking plane
On of my favorites. I like the MD11 as well
Do I though???

Buenísimo. Excelente. Me gustó mucho. Desde Argentina. 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
50:14 that’s the best 777 landing I’ve ever seen. Just exceptional how the crew eased that bird onto the runway!
Miss the old days of aviation loud aircraft everywhere so much variety
757s with the chrome American livery where just perfect!
I wasn’t even born then and this is still nostalgic...

Great video. Didn't know what the one at 56:06 was. Looked up the tail number and apparently it's a British Aerospace ATP. Only 65 produced.
I thought it was a Saab 2000
Seeing that AA DC10 taking off gives me chills of 191
This has it all. F100’s and even a 727-100? Perfect
Can anyone tell me what that long-ass plane is with 2 engines near the tail of AA at 12:45 mark?
That's an Embraer ERJ-145
can anyone find the plane thats at this marker? i tried looking it up and i cant find it 58:29
Looks like a bae Jetstream or a beechcraft 1900. Maybe even a Embraer 120

these airplane are the same one used on 9/11

Like some old retro livery and old aircraft.
Its amazing💕😍
I could watch this all day..
32:59 that American MD80 is the same one I flew first class in back in June of 2019. It was from DFW-CMH. (the one on the right)
Many 747-300s. Super rare bird.
Bringing nostalgic memories
1:01:28 Interesting to see Aer Lingus A330 with that EI-ORD registration !
Great video and video quality
Ahhh, remember when planes used to takeoff at an airport every 60 seconds?
This is an awesome video....thank you for posting
Man, that first 747 was REALLY heavy!
How can u tell?
It practically used the entire runway.
Questionable Cat it was also slow to get moving too actually
Paul O haire yeah
Classic KLM 747 shenanigans
0:00 the klm 747-200 with extended Upper Deck, such an amazing bird!

Boeing 767
Seems like a 767 for me
767
how you go back to 2001 ???
Cant you think he recorded videos during 1990s-2000s then uploaded them when TH-cam was invented

Me too, it was fantastic
Sabena 747-300 😍
And yes, this also brings back the memories...
back when dc10s were still in business
Never knew that Sabena had a 747!
Paul H right! Didn’t know either! And I was from that country... well Brussels airlines definitely isn’t like the old Sabena.
J W hahah yea they do Brussels airlines got the old a-340 form Sabena and 1 or 2 A330 from sabena.

they had plane spotting back then

Most likely. A lot of the planes and airlines shown ceased operations in 1999.

? at what speed a plane must reach to take off ? Can anyone tell ?
Thank you
tom tom Depends on the aircraft and weight. Usually around 160 mph / 260 Km/h... maybe little faster or a little slower.
Dan Boyer yeah, V1 for a 737 is around 150mph, but for other heavier aircraft it’s faster and so on
depends on the type, weight of the a/c and the temp outside
I didn’t know sabena was still around in 2001

Spotting has changed a lot.
I still love ORD but definitely more variety then
I also live right by O’Hara!
O’hare*
The 80's were even better (and smokier) around ORD.
This is sooo cool! I remember when United was gray like that and doesn't United have Continental's Logo now??
When United and Continental merged in 2010 they kept Continental's livery and branding, and the United name.
Like most of these videos, this was a late 90s compilation up until 2001 pre-9/11.
I miss where all the plane use to be
Seriously looked like that Aeroflot was taking off from a taxiway
ORD! Now we're talking. 💯✈
