Those 747-8Is are definitely allocated to be the new airforce 1’s. Kinda funny when you think about it, planes destined for a Russian airline going straight to the US president! Great video as always.
I was surprised by his comment that he couldn't find anything. There's articles everywhere about these two airplanes becoming VC-25B aircraft. I can only assume SAM-30000 and SAM-31000 but who knows.
I remember when Braniff International went under, I was still in high school when BI shutdown & eventually flew all their aircraft back to DFW to be parked until sold or other fate for the planes. Some 727's were used to create Braniff 2 which was short lived as Braniff 3 was too. I still have flight schedules from that airline including a couple from the original BI. If I remember right & what I've read in past some former Braniff International employees stated the charter & passenger service Sun Country Airlines which based out of Minnesota which some former BI 727's were used to start Sun Country Airlines which I flew that airline only once. Also the former hangar & cooperate office is still standing to this day at Dallas Love Field Airport in Dallas, Texas which is great. Braniff International used to fly to Lubbock, Texas where I currently live.
I’m sad that Flybe is gone they were my favourite uk airline and an iconic airline operating the amazing q400. I sometimes do planespotting at Edinburgh and Flybe we’re always there but now there’s non😢😢
As someone who lives right next to Minneapolis-St. Paul Intl Airport, it really makes me sad to see Northwest. I remember the days when I would see many NWA planes fly over my house on short final.
I flew with Northwest many times as a little kid because my parents were divorced and lived in different states. One of my first model airplanes was a Northwest plane because I liked the colors and begged my mom to get it for me at the airport store. Long before I started collecting model planes.
Dear Aviation 18, I just watched two of your videos, TOP 10 Deceased Airlines Part 1 & 2. Great videos, but a quick question please. @ 10:26 you mention some of the reasons Braniff International fail at the end, fuel and credit card interest rate. So why is that credit card interest was part of the failure of Braniff?
One more airline if u make part 3 is bashkirian airlines it ended in 2007 after the uberlingen collision however it's not a mainstream airline I found out about it in air disasters
I'm American and will say, without fail, that the two biggest losses were that of Virgin America and Continental. The experience on Virgin America was truly top notch and has been obliterated by Alaska. Continental was also another great carrier that was all but destroyed by it's merger with United (I'm also a former United Airlines flight attendant). Thanks so much for sharing...
Continental Airlines was the surviving carrier. www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/100517/000119312513140583/d514659d8k.htm On March 28, 2013, Continental Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Continental”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, Inc. (“UAL”), and United Air Lines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“United”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of United with *and into Continental* (the “Merger”). On March 31, 2013, United merged with and into Continental, with *Continental continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger* and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL. Upon the closing of the Merger on March 31, 2013, *Continental’s name was changed to* “United Airlines, Inc.” (the “Survivor”).
They'll become VC-25B models. Unsure if the VC-25A (as the 747-200 varients are known) will continue in any real capacity or if they'll be converted to another USAF 747 varients... Or just sent to Davis-Monthan
@@HawkeyeFLA I heard they'd serve until the VC-25B became avalible then be retired from active service. The same plan will go for the E-4 as soon as the military gets a few more 747-8s like they said they were looking to replace the E-4B with
You're correct, those 747-8s did become the new Air Force one's. But heavy modification did occur, so nothing of the Transaero livery or anything else remains.
Please on your Part3 video, talk about VARIG, the most famous south american airline founded in 1927 and unfortunately went bankrupt in 2006. That company was the proud of Brazil and still leaves a gap in our hearts.
How about Ozark Airlines which was a great Midwest USA carrier utilizing primarily DC9 aircraft into the early 1980's until they purchased by TWA (which of course is on the obituary list here too).
Braniff technically flew the Concorde from 1979 to 1980. Dallas to Washington DC subsonic with Braniff crews under an agreement with British Airways and Air France. They then flew on to London or Paris supersonic with BA or Air France crews. They had temporary Braniff registration numbers that they would remove after the subsonic flights. It was a huge failure. The average flight had only 15 passengers.
Thank you for this. However is there a way you could showcase the downfall and collapse of Texas International Airlines ?? would like to learn more about it but haven’t seen anyone post a video over it
Eastern Airlines. Was a legacy carrier in the US based in Miami that had hubs in JFK, Miami (primary), Atlanta, Charlotte, and Kansas City. Labor disputes brought it down in 1991. Had they solved their labor issues, the airline would’ve still been flying today. American since then has a majority of the gates there.
I totally forgot about Braniff. Landing at Washington DC we slid off the runway. After looking found my Braniff Flyers Membership card. Filed next to Northwest, TWA , Republic and Midwest
I notice Dan Air hasn't featured yet! My aunt who worked for British Aerospace had to fly sometimes for work trips and hated flying with them. I asked my Mum why and she said "she thinks they're held together with elastic bands".
Two colorful but older examples I remember are Hughes Airwest with all-yellow planes (ended 1980) and Trans Caribbean - blue with orange palm trees on tail (merged with American in 1971).
Not bad. Braniff International continued as Braniff Airlines. They merged with Florida Express and moved their hub to Orlando Florida (MCO), where they went bankrupt in 1989. I still have my I.D..
I believe with the United-Continental merger the parent company of Continental bought United as UAL had financial issues, but they decided to keep the United name as it was more well-known than the Continental branding (same with US Airways buying American Airlines).
You are correct. www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/100517/000119312513140583/d514659d8k.htm On March 28, 2013, Continental Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Continental”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, Inc.

Even though it’s a great collection of clips, there’s a mix of LEGACY carries (at least 30 years in operations) with `one hit wonders’, and merges & acquisitions (not as dramatic) with BANKRUPTCIES, bypassing some iconic brands in commercial aviation. Suggestion: separate the ‘Top Ten Defunct Airlines - Part 3’ by year of failure: 1) Wien Air Alaska (USA) 1927-1985 2) Eastern Air Lines (USA) 1926-1991 3) VIASA (Venezuela) 1961-1997 4) Faucett (Peru) 1928-1999 5) Air Afrique (Ivory Coast) 1961-2002 6) VARIG (Brazil) 1927-2006 7) Ecuatoriana (Ecuador) 1974-2006 8) Aloha Airlines (USA) 1946-2008 9) MALÉV (Hungary) 1954-2012 10) Inex-Adria (Yugoslavia/Slovenia) 1961-2019
Laker Airways? Total boom / bust story with a Chief Exec as recognisable at one time as the PM. I was working for a tour operator at the time and the waves were incredible, we filled our planes with Laker's fallout. Might make a video on its own?
Thanks for including virgin America it was my favorite airline
Lovely as always! Love the GJ13 footage. Part 3 would be great! Army of NWA’s! Really enjoyed it!
Part 3 recommendations: AirTran, Eastern, Aloha
Adding on to this you can also do PSA
Lets include MALÉV
And Itavia
Those 747-8Is are definitely allocated to be the new airforce 1’s. Kinda funny when you think about it, planes destined for a Russian airline going straight to the US president! Great video as always.

Awesome video
Awesome video man! I really like your Top 10 series! Keep it up!
Great video! Congratulations for 20k subscribers
Your theory about the 747- 8 could be real.
It is. Boeing just started fitting the first one with all the presidential needs

Yes a part 3 would be awesome. If you could also include Air Jamaica that would be cool too. I enjoy your videos
Congrats on 20 thousand subs
i absolutely LOVE the way you went around that bit regarding the two 747-8s hahahah
Can you include Air Jamaica in part 3?
thanks for this. Great video! :)

Continental Airlines changed its name to United Airlines.

One more airline if u make part 3 is bashkirian airlines it ended in 2007 after the uberlingen collision however it's not a mainstream airline I found out about it in air disasters
You forgot about the Brazilian giant, Varig
Great video! Maybe do Balkan Bulgarian Airlines next?
Congrats on 20k
There’ll be a few more airlines to add to the list by the end of the month. 😢

Yay it's back to "Aviation18"!
Make a part 3 and add Jet Airways
Eastern Air Lines based out of Atlanta. Was first airline I ever flew
Can you make part 3 of it pls? You can mention about jet airways, king fisher and Indian airlines as well.

You mentioned the 747-8s purchased by the USAF. They are going to be modified and used as the replacements for the VC-25s last I heard.
They'll become VC-25B models. Unsure if the VC-25A (as the 747-200 varients are known) will continue in any real capacity or if they'll be converted to another USAF 747 varients... Or just sent to Davis-Monthan

Gonna take some time for the VC-25B to enter the fleet.
World Airways, Pacific Southwest Airlines(PSA), and Aloha Air
Eastern Air Lines please! They deserve a place in the best deceased airlines.
Thank you very much. I must have blinked and missed some.
Maersk Air from Denmark. Great video.
What music was u playing during the flybe section
I remember northwest back then in Vancouver
Love your vid pt1 & pt2. I do mis Martinair (Dutch). So maybe a pt3, i do have any sugestions Martinair, Amsterdam Airlines, DutchBird.
What about Varig Vasp , UTA and BWIA?
What an amazing airline Monarch was. It certainly was a pleasure to work for them in their final days.
Please on your Part3 video, talk about VARIG, the most famous south american airline founded in 1927 and unfortunately went bankrupt in 2006. That company was the proud of Brazil and still leaves a gap in our hearts.
Braniff ceased in 1982? I remember flying it way after 1982 from sfo to mci. Could it be in 1992?
The main Braniff ceased operations in 1982 but some of their subsidiaries continued to operate so that could’ve been what you flown on?
How about Ozark Airlines which was a great Midwest USA carrier utilizing primarily DC9 aircraft into the early 1980's until they purchased by TWA (which of course is on the obituary list here too).

I wish monarch and Thomas cook were still here

Shame they bit the dust
Part 3 please!
How about MarkAir which was in Alaska
Can you please do part 3 with VARIG please
No Court Line? Best paint schemes ever!
What about Thomson
