- After an amazing vacation in the Virgin Islands, it's time to head back to Chicago. This is the first leg of my trip back. I was lucky enough to fly on another old livery 757 and even luckier because it was the same 757 I flew coming to STT! The flight was good but very turbulent as there were many storms along the way. Stay tuned for the CLT-ORD trip report coming out soon!

love the old AA livery
I went on American airlines from Newark to Miami and Miami to punta Cana the ride from Miami to punta Cana was the best landing ever!! There were no sounds of the landing I didn't even realize we were on the ground!
That static takeoff was cool! It was almost like a catapult takeoff on an Aircraft Carrier!
I was in st Thomas when i was little. It was 10 years ago I want to go back there one day:). Thx for video
Thanks, hope you go back one day! It's amazing.
Excellent trip report man 👍 love the 757 in the thumbnail 😀 always love boarding via passenger stairs for these awesome views
Triple7 lover thanks man! Yeah boarding via airstairs is the best!
On a flight I was on from SJU-MIA, it was a 777-200ER, and the previous flight had cancelled, but initially the flight was empty but it filled up last minute. We had to make a static takeoff since we were on a really large load on a 777 so the pilots burned the brakes and we returned to the gate. Another backup 777 eventually came to pick us up. Nevertheless, awesome trip report! Loved it!
Wow, that's awesome they sent in a 777 for you guys and the previous flight's pax! Yeah the previous day's flight to CLT had also been cancelled so some people from that flight were on ours but AA didn't send in a bigger plane since STT can't handle planes bigger than a 757.
I remember when I was flying to Lihue, Hawaii (Kauai) and they played the new Pirates of the Caribbean... ughhh the memories 😭 (in 2013)(I was 10😭😪)
The 757 is a great design and all but that just seems like an old neglected airplane. There are older planes including older 757's in better shape, notably Delta's with Sky Interior.
That particular plane got retired the same month. That explains why. Anyway, AA is not really consistant with their in-flight product. The ex-US Airways fleet is a shame.
Agreed
The 757 is a very useful plane; it just needs a bit of an upgrade so it could be more efficient and fly further
C7_Stingray I totally agree
C7_Stingray It’s gonna be replaced regardless by the 797 and the A321XLR
One restaurant huh and cramped seating. No wonder St. Thomas is a 3 star airport
Old aeroplane. Never been on one. 767s retiring but this oldie still goes.
She's been retired. Just two weeks after I recorded this she was retired. All of the chrome livery 757's are gone. The 767's are not all retiring, only the older ones delivered before 1998 or 2000.
very nice AS Aviation! St. Thomas airport is also a very special airport for me, as I flew into it back in 2015 with my family for a vacation. We took the Delta 757-200WL into STT and it was an amazing experience! On the way in, it was an old delta 757 but on the way out, we were treated with a new refurbished delta 757. I think I had anywhere from 4-8 delta cookies on that flight. I also saw an American 737-800 in the old livery parked next to a 757 in the old livery. I am also making a St. Thomas airport, and if it is okay with you, I would like to make airport updates of it. Anyways, really nice trip report.
1998 was the time of the 737ng series which this aircraft still has the 737 classic style interior as it should have the new 737ng style interior
Very nice report , enjoyed watching . The IFE choices were really good.
Great trip report! Definitely enjoyed it :).
I was on the same route from STT to CLT about 2 years ago. I got to board in the back of the plane too!
Awesome video AS! Love that old American chrome Livery!
What do you use to edit your videos? I really like the way you do them.
Clouds! Love it! I thought that was a good flying song
I'm in St. Thomas airport right now! I'm flying an American Airlines 737 to Miami. My flight is departing from that same gate!
This reminds me departing from SXM on the same aircraft, same destination , and a smooth landing as well , it's a video on my channel. Great vid 👍🏻
excellent trip report. you are a great videographer!
AS Aviation Great Trip video, I watched your trip vid from my hometown of Houston at IAH-DFW also, unfortunately that MD-83 in that video N7514A as well as this 757 N678AN have been parked in Roswell last couple months, dont know what's their future. Yes, Delta Airlines has reno'd their MD88s with sky lighting and many other amenities. PS, you have me listening to Joakim Karud now, good music :-)
I love Airways magazine. I subscribe to it. I enjoy your videos.
5:28 i like how she says charlotte
Awesome video!!!, I never walked on the tarmac to get into the plane always have used the jetways, i really want to walk on the tarmac
StarAviation - HD thanks. Boarding on the tarmac is awesome. They do it at most regional airports in the US.
I’ve had an aircraft repeat with N657NK on spirit in 2015
Awesome stuff...would love to see a trip report to my island some day :)!!!
hi
ugh i have to do this flight and I'm so scared of turbulence
Turbulence isn’t scary! Turbulence like that is also unlikely!
Very nice i just finished my trip lol
I wish I’d known about the free streaming on my CLT to MAD flight earlier this year, we had seatback screens (a332) but they were awful when it came to touch sensitivity. I was fortunate the seat in front of me was empty because I would’ve probably annoyed the occupant with how hard I had to press the screen to get any response.
So, some people are upset that AA didn't provide a 7 course gourmet meal for this short flight. Sheesh! I've been on many flights and different airlines that were in the range of two to three hours and never got a meal. If hungry, I ate at the airport. If needed, I used the airport restrooms. Think ahead, folks. Furthermore, some people who respond to the trip reports are absolutely spoiled beyond belief. You have no idea what is was like to fly passenger planes back in the day.
No you didn't, after 9/11 all us carriers stopped offering tray service in main cabin on all flights under 5 hours, how ever, it offers food for sale, I don't know which airline you claim that offers trays service, UNITED ,DELTA, AMERICAN stopped the tray service in main cabin after 9/11.
I once landed at 2:00 am with american from denver. bit the best flight
One of my favorite trip reports I've seen! Loved, loved, loved it! Quick questions- 1) do you have Instagram? And 2) did you grab the safety card?
Thanks! Yes I do have Instagram if you check the description it says it...and yes I did get a bunch of safety cards!
Very nice!
Great trip report as always! The UA 767 I was on did not have power ports.
The time I was here, the restaurant was under construction. So there was a booth instead. I ate some lunch there
Looks like the old US Airways A330 that I took to TLV.
I was in St. Thomas once and the pilot of my plane didn’t even do a static takeoff
I looked for myself in the video... I fly out of STT every week
Great vid!
why is this in 360p?
Because you watched while it was still processing. It's now available in 1080p60
This 757 (N678AN) has been stored the same month you flew it (07/2017). You probably flew one of it's last flight.
Yes it was stored just two weeks after I flew it. Funny enough one of it's last flights was St. Thomas to Miami.
This plane wasn’t repainted because it was retired just a couple of months after this
5:55 SEATED IN YOUR SEATS! lol
James Whitlock yeah tell me. That feeling when the brakes released for takeoff must have been insane. Grossly overpowered airplane with much more thrust than necessary except for those short runways or hot/high/heavy flights.
Agree, poor us of grammar and a very nasty surly tone -- not the best way to speak to customers, much less get your point across.
Such a steep takeoff
That's the problem with the older planes. Hydraulics. Those planes are always forty minutes late.
Question for you did you go for business or pleasure? If you went for pleasure did you go alone?
VG77 I went for pleasure. I never travel alone, always with family. I just never show them in the videos because they don't want to be shown.
Dang is it me or are those jets tall
I feel like the old livery is more daungres
That airport doesn’t have gates
Did you saw the movie the nun
You get a meal on the ExQatar Doha to Dubai Flight. AA is stingy
FIRST
I didn´t know that AA so stingy is. They earn Millions, in Turkish Airlines by 2 hours flight, they offer a small Drink and Snack AND a Major Meal...Lufthansa does this too, Emirates too, Etihad, too...But AA? won´t fly this Company- No Way !!
paganviodio even without your business they are still the most profitable airline on the planet.
Why do you folks compare US carriers with international flag carriers ? Its ridiculous.
@@carlosspicy-wiener6727 Thank you..
Neither does UNITED or DELTA .. your point ??
AA cant do it anymore with them Besides the negatives that you pointed out which is most of all their flights as their stupid credit card marketing beginning of the flight halfway through the flight and at the end of the flight I am so done with that can’t do it anymore they can kick rocks they’re not getting my money anymore they need to get caught up with the times
Too much information. Not every thought deserves a caption. Nice photography though
That's the point of a trip report buddy, you think I'm just going to put random clips in a 15+ minute video and not explain what's going on?
AS Aviation so it was necessary to show us the thrilling saga of the safety video having a glitch and needing to be replayed? Too many exclamation points as well. I suspect you are not a 13 year old female that gets excited over every little thing. Watch Paul's Trip reports and learn from an expert.
Lovely review mate! Just love the static takeoff always had one here in islamabad and probably have another one this weekend when i fly to quetta. keep up the brilliant work
Very nice!! Big like what do u use for editing videos
Thanks. I use iMovie on the computer.
Nice trip report how was St Thomas
Thanks, it was awesome.
