Fellow South Hills resident here- Love, love, love your videos. I did giggle that you took a flight from PIT to Dubois. I am excited to see the new, merged terminal- but will miss the train and the click-click-click sound wheeled bags make at Landside!
Loved this video jazzguy. And as a native Pittsburgher who hasn't lived there for years, I really enjoyed the drive to the airport in your opening sequence!
Does this bring back memories lol. I flew turbo props on the exact same route for Crown Airways. Dubois was our main hub. We were there when the "new" now old terminal was built. We used to park over at the north 40 at Pitt and everyone was bused over to the new terminal. It was the exact same set up. EAS. Lot's of stick and rudder flying. One thing you could count on about Dubois was a lot of bad and windy weather. Especially in winter. Fall was beautiful. We flew Twin Otters. Shorts. Beech 1900"s. Best group of people I ever worked with. Thank You for this video!
I flew on Crown Airways Twin Otters between PIT and FKL. And once, just for fun, I took the FKL-DUJ-PIT run, just to see another airport! This video brings back memories!
Did DFW to MEM on a Southern Airways Caravan in April. It was interesting and fully loaded. It also kept to a schedule, as opposed to competitor and fellow EAS Boutique Air, whom I suspect is trying VERY hard to go belly-up!
Hey at the end of your flights that happen in the future after landing and taxiing to the gate ask the pilot/flight attendant to see if you can go to the cockpit. I just went on vacation and I asked the pilot at the end of the flight and they let me in.
The first time I made that trip was in a DeHaviland Twin Otter on Allegheny Commuter 1981. I had my aircraft mechanic at the restaurant in DUJ airport terminal for a position at the Youngstown Ohio maintenance base working the Shorts SD3-30 aircraft. Now I manage the guys that inspect the big jets with the purple tails in Memphis Tn.
Thanks for the video, I live in Lancaster and my daughter lives in Pittsburgh. From now on I will be using this airline to visit her more. With the gas prices and 3 1/2 hour drive this is very convenient
Nice, i been in Dubois. Took 3 flights from Latvia (Europe) ---> Dubois. I was surprised, that no one walk on the streets, no walkways. I could not get from hotel to wallmart by walk, everyone driving. Even police stopped, asking where im going. Crazy :D
Great video. i was once on a plane that small with one other passenger. They asked one of us to sit in the front left and the other in the back right...LOL...
I had a 70 minute layover in Chicago Midway on Tuesday and half the restaurants there were closed and long lines at those places that were open and I had to eat very quickly before my flight boarded to Savannah/Hilton Head
Great flight - just like a chartered plane ! Yes these planes are fun to fly on and I always felt safe. Wondering why Allegiant is so low on the Covid-19 Safety list - flew out of Plattsburgh New York with them and their measures were the same as Air Canada's.
I Love The Cessna Carvan C208's There Cool I hope to Fly on one from St.Maarten to St.Barts if I Visit St.Maarten Again Awesome Video Thejazz13 Aviation Guy keep going Man!!!!!
FOR U AVGeeks out there, flew Southern airways from Pgh to Dulles. When we stopped in Hagerstown the captain went outside the terminal for a cig. Since I'm 1 of the few people who still smoke, unfortunately, I went out to have a cig of my own & see if I could pick his brains for a min. He was more than happy to talk shop while we both enjoyed our cancer sticks, ha. He said he hates flyin' the Cessna 208. "It's a pig" were his exact words. He said it has no performance & struggles the entire way. He said "we don't cruise at 175mph at 7500 ft b/c we want to, but if we have more than just a few passengers that's the best we can do," ha. So then I asked him why he was flyin' for SA, b/c he did look a bit older. He said b/c he flew 757s/767s for American Airlines but they have a mandatory retirement age & he wanted to keep flyin'. I also asked him whether he preferred Boeing over Airbus. He said, & I quote, "as a passenger I'd rather fly ON an Airbus, but as a pilot he'd absolutely rather PILOT a Boeing. Thought that was pretty interesting.
Yesterday I flew Southwest Airlines from Savannah to Nashville to Denver to Omaha, I only had a 40 minute layover in Nashville and I had to go from gate D5 to gate C25 and made it in time for boarding so did my luggage, many people yesterday were rebooked and rerouted due to fallout from the Chicago storms which resulted in a ground stop at O'Hare and Midway
The only small plane I was ever on was a 15-20 passenger turbo prop. It was a Cochise Airlines direct flight from Phoenix to LAX with stops in Yuma AZ and El Centro CA. I deplaned in El Centro. That was in 1979.
I didn't realize the Airport served flights to such local destinations, that's pretty cool. I guess some of the planes I see when I'm out in the country during the weekends could be some of these planes. I always assumed they were from the local airport up there. That Co-Pilot looked like he's pretty hot. 👍
Southern moved their east coast hub from BWI to Dulles at the end of June. I betcha down the road they’re gonna reconsider moving it back to BWI cause Southern passengers can connect to Southwest flights at BWI for better fares than connecting to United at Dulles.
TheJazzGuy13 aviation, Do you having any of the flashback Denver Airport Train Videos with the You Are Delaying the Departure of this Train Male Voice Videos?
So, a Southern Airways Cessna Caravan loses power just after takeoff at Dulles International Airport. It’s safe landing on a highway, was just as impressive as the “miracle on the Hudson” some 15 years ago. Kudos to the pilots. I am sure Captain Sullenberger is impressed. Unfortunately that emergency landing also shows the “Achilles Heel” of single engine aircraft. In commercial aviation, engine failures are more common than pilots becoming incapacitated. And yet, Southern Airways is planning to use a plane with two pilots, but only one engine here at Williamsport. And it is not like Southern Airways doesn’t have twin engine planes in its fleet. They do. Perhaps if they offered fewer flights, but with more capacity, they could use them at Williamsport. Finally, 20 years ago or so, scheduled commercial flights at the Williamsport airport used Beech 90 King Air turbo-props It was a small twin engined plane and carried 9 passengers or so. And the Beech 90 King Air is still being produced.
At least there was one passenger on that flight which was you. I wonder if the pilots would’ve still continued to their destination if there was nobody else.
Correction our population is about 18,000, that includes the city of DuBois and Sandy Township. Which are one in the same. We are known for being the home to the NCAA small College World Series for baseball and softball.
RedcoMusic somehow ended up on my flight from Denver to Omaha which he was supposed to be on my Chicago to Omaha flight but he flew from Chicago Midway to Denver then Denver to Omaha and ended up being on my flight
I turned 21 on Wednesday and had 3 drinks total 2 in Savannah one in Hilton Head, frozen strawberry margarita, strawberry dackori, and a michelob ultra
The C208 is great plane with an excellent safety record. And turbulence is not always a bad thing, it tells you the plane is still flying. Good video.
The crash in Northern Virginia with the same airline might prove you wrong. But everyone survived.
One of the
Prettiest video! I've always that PA's best season is the fall! Excellent work! I would love to to the Pittsburgh-Lancaster route!
Definitely a fan of these. Southern is such a unique airline.

0:22 - beautiful country out there. Wonder how far from Pittsburgh that is
@@alvexok5523 That looks like the Pine Creek Gorge in central PA (aka "Grand Canyon of PA"). Pittsburgh to Wellsboro would be 225 miles driving.

Just flew round trip from Dulles to DuBois. Absolutely no problems. Can’t wait for the next trip.
This is a really interesting layover! I haven’t heard of this airline before. Can’t wait for BWI!
Oh hey there Andrew!
@@ryanfrisby7389 hello!
Great video. You take time to give us amazing flight videos! Keep up the great work Chris!!
4:10 That A319, N700UW, was the first ex-US Airways aircraft to be repainted in the new AA livery.
The baggage belt at DuBois was absolutely adorable. I wanted to hug it.
yes it's cute.
You know what what's going to be amazing when you're 80 90 years old you can look back at all of your videos and remember love watching your videos
So true! hahaha (if TH-cam will be around then ;D)
Did DFW to MEM on a Southern Airways Caravan in April. It was interesting and fully loaded. It also kept to a schedule, as opposed to competitor and fellow EAS Boutique Air, whom I suspect is trying VERY hard to go belly-up!
Thanks! Brought a little bit of home back to me. Williamsport PA Lycoming County. 1959 to 1977. Now in Southern OC CA.
Hey at the end of your flights that happen in the future after landing and taxiing to the gate ask the pilot/flight attendant to see if you can go to the cockpit. I just went on vacation and I asked the pilot at the end of the flight and they let me in.
Yeah, I’ve seen a bunch of people do it, whenever I’m there for some reason I get nervous and don’t ask
4:24 I love to sit at that gate and drink a mocha latte and eat a cheese danish from Starbucks when I fly LOL

Such a cool experience to see some smaller airports, and the Pennsylvania landscape
Thanks for the video, I live in Lancaster and my daughter lives in Pittsburgh. From now on I will be using this airline to visit her more. With the gas prices and 3 1/2 hour drive this is very convenient
Fun video! Great views! At least you weren't crowded.

I flew the 208 out or into Williamsport once. I was digging it as there only a couple others on board.
The wings in the restaurant at the DUbois airport at top of the line!
Great video. It was fun to watch. I've done two flights on very small planes and that's enough for me.
I think it's awesome you got to experience being the only passenger on a flight. I bet it was a similar experience to being in a private jet.
Excellent trip report as per usual Chris!😸😸
I live in the area and love your videos. Thank you! :)
What an awesome little plane!!! And you got to experience it all by yourself, wow. So awesome!!! 😄😄😄😄😄💚
4:56 - no routes to Punxsutawney?
"Mornin! Off to see the groundhog!? Chow!"
Nice! I’m going to be flying out of PIT next week to Philadelphia on American
6:42 - these small town routes will be propeller planes. Those small towns won't have airports with runways equipped to handle even a jet embraer 175
You are a true aviation enthusiast - not one bit of fast-forward to screw up the video. Double thumbs-up!
I had a 70 minute layover in Chicago Midway on Tuesday and half the restaurants there were closed and long lines at those places that were open and I had to eat very quickly before my flight boarded to Savannah/Hilton Head

Just a note: there are route/location changes for the Mid Atlantic region now.
How long was the actual flight itself ? I’m told it’s pretty quick
From as much as you travel you dont have TSA precheck?

That's the thing. You're *not* alone. You got two more people onboard that flight.
Was he alone on that flight? Technically no, he wasn’t.
Was he the only passenger? Yes, yes he was.
My flight from Chicago Midway to Omaha got cancelled due to weather in Chicago, I had to spend an extra night in Savannah, Georgia
Once again, no one cares

Lots of haze from the wildfires in Canada and the Western U.S. no scenery when I flew these past several days
No one cares
Did the plane had Wi-Fi??
It was the same when US Air was still around flew into PIT many times, one time was quite a Rollercoaster of a Descent.
I was a bit concerned when you were assigned seat10 and you then told us that it has nine passenger seats.
Bradford, PA was once an important stop for Allegheny Airlines, an ancestor of today's AA...
At least there was one passenger on that flight which was you. I wonder if the pilots would’ve still continued to their destination if there was nobody else.
have you flew on cape air .?
Being the only passenger and making it a private plane, they should have had a red carpet and champagne for you. :-)
What is the outtro song called?
What a flight!
good video , i like this little company , the real aviation 😉👍
Correction our population is about 18,000, that includes the city of DuBois and Sandy Township. Which are one in the same. We are known for being the home to the NCAA small College World Series for baseball and softball.
Love your videos!
Make sure to use the bathroom before boarding, no restrooms on board. Also no food/drink served so BYOF if your hungry
Why do you always skip the peoplemover?
didn't southern get bought by mokulele (at least in hawaii) or they merged?
What do you use to edit? Or anyone know what he use to edit?
Great Video
How lucky you were flying alone with 2 pilots hahaha
Theirs an airline base out of Ontario that flys only turbo prop fleet dash 8 100 pc 12 c208 b1900D
so how do they break even, much less make a profit, with only 1 passenger??
It says in the video....the airline is subsidized by the govt for maintaining essential routes
@@protector22222 missed that...thanks
Great vid!
what is an eas flight? a flight filled with emergency alerts? lol
I only live 40 minutes away from Dubois
Fly on Cape Air and Air Choice One sometime please
Just as I thought we’d actually get a video without any of this toolbox’s comments, of course he had to strike.
thanks nice video
Wow!
15:53 LOL
RedcoMusic somehow ended up on my flight from Denver to Omaha which he was supposed to be on my Chicago to Omaha flight but he flew from Chicago Midway to Denver then Denver to Omaha and ended up being on my flight
