Some of you may have seen an earlier version of this video. I was able to work with the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to make it even better. Enjoy!!
Delta closing their hub at CVG was an incredible stroke of luck for us who fly out of there. It drove down prices by a lot. I think CVG is grossly underrated versus most airports in the US.
Thank you so much for doing CVG!!! I'm currently working on modeling the airport for flight simulators and you have no idea how important this footage is to making sure everything is accurate and of the highest detail.

CVG is my home airport and I enjoy the updates. The overlook at the viewing area has been spruced up a lot in recent years. I've taken many a carryout lunch or dinner over there and watched the planes come and go. 😊
You'd be crazy not to do KDEN, Jeb! It's larger than the cities of San Francisco and Miami, and you can fit the island of Manhattan inside of its boundaries TWICE!
Den is a fairly simple airport. The insides of the terminals are all similar. The arrivals and departures hauls are cool and the center area of each terminal are cool too.
Ah, my Home Airport! Grew up with my Father working for Delta as Maintenence in that hangar and around the Ramp. Now we are both working on different aspects of the Amazon building! Glad to see it in your Series. Cool CVG fact; I believe CVG is the only MAJOR airport that serves a city in a different state, could be wrong though.
About 10 years ago I traveled to Barcelona, Spain on business. On the day of my return flight it was blinging hot. And since it was summer, the terminal was crowded with people on holiday. Put those two factors together >> I got very sick. Without even realizing it at first. Suddenly, a staff member came up to me and said, "Come this way, please." I thought there was a problem with my ticket. 😱 She escorted me to the airport's medical center. The doctor there did everything she could to relieve my distress. Later, an attendant took me in a wheelchair back to the depatures area. There was still time to board my original flight and get home on schedule. Always grateful for the eagle eyes of the gate attendant, and the care of the doctor. Jeb, don't overlook some of the unseen services that airfields have ready "just in case." You never want to need them, but so glad they are in place when the time comes. 👏👏👏
Make sure you add IND to the list. Since the new terminal opened it has always been on the best airport list. If you could time it to visit during a Midwest winter storm, you will really be impressed by the behind the scenes operations; the runways fill up with the diversions from ORD & DTW
CVG will always hold a special place for me......My first solo trip on an airplane was back in 2009 when I was 15 right before my Freshman year in High School was RIC-CVG-TUL and still remember when Concorse C was strictly Comair......I probably flew on a CRJ-200 and thought it was the coolest thing in the world to fly on one of these small jets.
Work for DHL in Europe and visited the hub a few years back...flew in direct from Paris and watched the night operation with A300s, 727s, A300s and even some props. Thanks for sharing....
I think it’s fascinating just how extensive the operations of an airport can be. There’s so much more to airports than passenger traffic. It would be great to see you do one of these for a large hub such as Atlanta or Newark. It would be even greater to see you do a UK based version when things calm down!
I was in my 18-wheeler picking up near CVG this morning. Got to see a rare sight of a 727 taking off just a few hundred feet overhead. You definitely can’t beat the sound it makes! According to PlaneFinder it was N724CK belonging to Kalitta. First flew in 1970!
Kalitta Charters II still has a few 727s in regular service for DHL - N724CK, N726CK and N729CK. Not uncommon to see N725CK, aka "Air Horse One" - used to transport race horses - out on the ramp at CVG.
HKG, SYD, LHR, SIN, KIX, HND, SFO, CTS (in winter), ZUR, GVA (interesting as serves two nations) - a few suggestions for some more videos in your series
Was a vendor for Tropicana that allowed me access to various sections of the airport. The DHL / Amazon hubs are separated from the normal concourse a good 1/4 mile apart. The huge Amazon hub is now open & expanding.
Jeb! Not sure how I’ve missed this video…especially since I’m an #avgeek (and #traingeek) living in the Cincinnati area! Even more - zero clue how I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE VIEWING AREA until now!!! Awesome video, as always.
I really enjoy your AirportsREVEALED line of videos. Out of about 10 or 15 TH-camrs that I follow who review air travel, I think you've found the best formula for creating alternative content during this pandemic.
My city! Glad I found this as I've been binge watching your videos recently. Ironic the first thing you saw as you landing in CVG was a baseball field. Perfect for the city of Cincinnati!
Would love to see you discuss DFW. The entire size of that airport is very close to the size of the island of Manhattan. And the infrastructure supporting it is unreal.
Calgary, AB (YYC) has a viewing area on the south side of Runway 17R/35R. It has picnic tables and displays of aircraft types and liveries. When we visit Calgary, we like to pick up food from Peter’s Drive In (great burger joint) and go sit and watch planes while we eat.
Repeating my comment from an earlier video...I’d love to see an essential air service airport. Seeing how a one gate airport with just a couple flights per day would be very interesting. My vote is Escanaba, MI.
In recent months we have flown out of CVG on SW to Phoenix, Delta to Orlando (MCO), Allegiant to Orlando (SFB), British to London (Heathrow), and we have a June flight booked to Paris, so I think it is safe to say we consider it along with IND our "home" airports and having flown to a good part of the world and to/through almost every major US airport we can also state without too much bias that they are both in the top tier of airports when everything is considered. Security is efficient and generally friendly. check-in staff are really good at both, gate crew are legible and clear with announcements and directions, restrooms are much cleaner than many, concourses are wide and seating at gates is more plentiful than many, restaurants provide multiple options and with one notable recent exception tend to be quick, baggage claim is large enough, and well I could go on, but every time we travel it seems we return knowing how blessed we are. IF you want to hear recent horror stories I would start with Toronto or Frankfurt...LOL
MSP- Twin Cities International! On a lighter note, in 2005 I returned from Nassau, Bahamas through CVG. A large snow storm at my hub of MSP canceled my Delta flight and they rebooked me on a NWA Avrojet the next day. In total, i spent 16.5 hours in a quiet corner of CVG...ooof
When we were kids, we'd go to the Detroit airport and stand on the roof watching planes land and take off. I'm sure that observation deck must be long gone. Sure was fun though. 🛫✈🛬 👀
Binge watching!!! Love.your videos and the behind the scenes is excellent. I hope you do Denver and there.under ground tunnel systems and even the big statue pulling.into the airport has an amazing story!!
Thanks so much for watching!! I didn’t cover exactly that, but here’s a link to a fun video I recently made about DEN! th-cam.com/video/pgTstGlM9x0/w-d-xo.html
Check out Milwaukee! It would be in a similar vein - another Midwestern airport that lost its hub status in the recent past. It's also got a beautiful abandoned midcentury concourse you could tour with an old NWA club!
I think you should try and visit Willow Run airport (YIP) in the Detroit area. It was where the B24s were built and it serves as a home base for Kalitta Charters, USA Jet Airlines and Ameristar. DC9s, 727s and Freighter MD80s can be seen there and I happen to work for one of them and might be able to get you some ramp access around the DC9s and 727s
CPH - Copenhagen airport in Denmark has a plane spotting site too. It’s left of the runway. It’s very popular in the summer because you can buy food or icecream. 🇩🇰
CVG and Delta have a rocky past. When Delta was at its peak it was known for aggressively undercutting competition until the competitor pulled out. They could do that because Cincinnati was home to many Fortune 500 companies and many passengers were flying on behalf of their company. As Delta fell many of the Fortune 500 companies relocated to better served areas. In recent years, cargo has kept the airport buoyant while passenger traffic has began to rebound thanks to low cost providers. It really is a tragedy what happened to passenger service, but Delta didn't price flights for the average traveller.
You showed the plane spotters lot, a viewing area off to the east side that used to be just a gravel lot and as a teenager we used to sit with our girlfriends make out and watch planes....lol there is even a huge public road tunnel goes under the main north south runway, you may have missed seeing.
In a similar kind of video to this, I would be very interested in seeing more about mail operations at airports. In you video about baggage at ATL last year you showed mail being loaded into that 757. That's not something you think or hear about very often with commercial aviation, yet it is why we have the three legacy carriers today. I don't know if it would even be possible for you to film a video on this, due to security reasons, but it's something that I think would go along well with this series, talking about the parts of airports, and aviation in general that are not often seen.
We seem to have quite a lot of cargo aircraft flying over us in the West of Northern Ireland to Cincinnati. We must be under a regular flight path. There was a DHL 767 from Frankfurt an hour ago and a FedEx Triple 7 about 30mins before that (11pm local time).
Great video. I remember flying through CVG so many time when it was a delta hub. Great Airport..... I remember that old Crown Room ! Would love to see a review of RDU !
One of my home state airports- only started flying their in recent years, but I grew up flying mostly out of Louisville- SDF. Not a whole lot passenger wise, but the UPS Worldport there would make it a great future video.
Pease do Vancouver International Airport (YVR). It's a beautiful airport with lots of amazing artwork, beautiful view of the mountains. I think you would love it!
Mother in law is a Delta FA based out of CVG, so this was a pretty cool video to check out. Also flying out of here 12/4 headed to Denver so I'll have to check out the spotter area before my flight. Keep the awesome videos coming!
This is my second closest Airport (Beside Lexington KY). Probably will be using this in the future for a trip to Korea/Japan. Just because its a bit closer to/cheaper than flying out of LEX for a trip like that.
STL used to have a plane spotting area across from the end of 12R-30L, but it closed after 9/11 because it was too close to landing and departing aircraft, posing too great a risk from shoulder-fired missiles. When I was a kid, we used to lie on the car hood and watch aircraft land and take off right above us. It almost felt like we could reach up and drag our fingers along the bottom of the fuselage.
We need a video of Indianapolis International, and the Col. H. Weir Cook Terminal. People know to ask me if I can pick them up and drop them off because I love going to that airport. It even has a Delta Lounge, and Delta flies (or at least used to in saner times) to Paris, a flight I wish you would have been able to take as well.
I, for one, would have loved to see a lot more of the DHL/Prime Air (Amazon) operation. You may also want to check your history. DHL landed in CVG well more than (I think you said) 2 years before moving to Wilmington (after buying Airborne Express) then coming back. They had their first CVG HUB on the North West end of the airport long before there was ever a thought of building the new HUB at the South East corner. Just drove by there today and turns out FedEx has put in a facility right on the spit that used to be the DHL HUB.
All the airline mergers inevitably resulted in some cities being de-hubbed, and it's interesting to see how the airports adapt afterwards. At CVG, it seems they've really found their place with cargo. Delta is still the dominant passenger carrier with the greatest market share. In my opinion, the difference between a hub and focus city is that a hub is designed for connecting passengers, while a focus city operates flights to a carrier's hubs, as well as point to point routes, but is not used for connections. While low-cost carriers like Allegiant and Frontier picked up some of the slack, I think it's unlikely the airport will ever see hub-era passenger numbers, simply due to the lack of connecting passengers.
I’m sure it’s in other comments, but CVG is actually located in Hebron, KY, in Boone County. The airport board is located in Covington, KY, in Kenton County.
Some of you may have seen an earlier version of this video. I was able to work with the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to make it even better. Enjoy!!
Hi
First like
You should do STL Lambert
If you want some cargo action, come to MEM. Busiest airport in the Western Hemisphere!
ORD has some very diverse ops, def a good choice
Delta closing their hub at CVG was an incredible stroke of luck for us who fly out of there. It drove down prices by a lot. I think CVG is grossly underrated versus most airports in the US.
They did at least get Southwest to come in. Dayton was the loser there.
Thank you so much for doing CVG!!! I'm currently working on modeling the airport for flight simulators and you have no idea how important this footage is to making sure everything is accurate and of the highest detail.

“This is the 90s calling” 😂🤣. Been flying out of cvg for years this is my exact thought every time in that lounge
CVG is my home airport and I enjoy the updates. The overlook at the viewing area has been spruced up a lot in recent years. I've taken many a carryout lunch or dinner over there and watched the planes come and go. 😊
It's our home airport, too!
Definitely my home turff, originally it was San Diego till I moved.
My dad worked for comair. I spent my whole childhood it seems at cvg. Cvg is the reason for my love of aviation.
I delivered anti-freeze here once back in 2017 when I was in training to be a tanker driver. CVG is massive.
This airport's great. The architecture and interior design is actually really nice.
would love to see you cover the infamous Denver International Airport!
You'd be crazy not to do KDEN, Jeb! It's larger than the cities of San Francisco and Miami, and you can fit the island of Manhattan inside of its boundaries TWICE!
Den is a fairly simple airport. The insides of the terminals are all similar. The arrivals and departures hauls are cool and the center area of each terminal are cool too.
And it’s my home airport
DENVER DENVER DENVER DENVER DENVER
I will hopefully make a video at DEN soon!

I love having both Louisville International and CVG so close to my house. CVG is a wonderful airport!

I like this new Airports Revealed thing you've been doing!!! Can you do one for Boston?
@Noah Cutone Yeah I live in MA
Make sure you add IND to the list. Since the new terminal opened it has always been on the best airport list. If you could time it to visit during a Midwest winter storm, you will really be impressed by the behind the scenes operations; the runways fill up with the diversions from ORD & DTW
This is my home airport if you didn't know they recently developed it more
That plane spotting park is great, and it's so cool that they show you the busy times and links to the Live ATC feeds and the Flight Board app!
The Flightradar24 app helps you follow the planes too, and is very informative.

Shout out to UND, Visit Grand Forks which consistently has daily operations in the top ten,
maybe get in on the UND Flight School!!
Thanks!
Do MSP! It has won awards for the best airport in the US! Also, I love the aircraft viewing area on the D concourse.
And the aircraft viewing area on Cargo Road!

Very nice airport. Friendly staff.
Cinci in general, gotta be one of the most friendly cities in America.
I am not first
I am not last
When I see a Jeb Brooks video,
I click fast.
Awesome video man! Thanks for bringing attention to my home airport! :)
Man keep these vids coming! Very interesting to see all the behind the scenes views!
Repeating my comment from an earlier video...I’d love to see an essential air service airport. Seeing how a one gate airport with just a couple flights per day would be very interesting. My vote is Escanaba, MI.
Agreed! But I’m biased on 1 hour north in Marquette at Sawyer. 😜
Enjoy the content Jeb creates and look forward to much more
IND! Indy Airport! You’ll love it!! Love this video too!!
Lmao! Indy? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mrgooglethegreat Yep! I can clearly tell that you haven’t been there and have no idea what it’s like. You snooze you lose! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I work at that DHL hub! It's an amazing place to work and yes everyone there takes pride in their work
I remember CVG as a very nice airport except for the bus terminal for the RJs. Great video.

Hello from Indonesia - LOVE these airport tours!
Awesome Video!!!!! awesome job Showing of are home town airport
Love your videos Jeb! how about a video on KMSP? Minneapolis St Paul International
Nice! I worked in airfield management for 4 years in the Air Force.

The rental car facility makes such a difference. Hope you enjoyed your stay in Cincinnati. Hi from Mason!
Great video. I remember flying through CVG so many time when it was a delta hub. Great Airport..... I remember that old Crown Room ! Would love to see a review of RDU !
This a great airport, ty Jeb. Loving this new series.
My hometown airport! Sad it's not a major hub anymore
One of my home state airports- only started flying their in recent years, but I grew up flying mostly out of Louisville- SDF. Not a whole lot passenger wise, but the UPS Worldport there would make it a great future video.
Pease do Vancouver International Airport (YVR). It's a beautiful airport with lots of amazing artwork, beautiful view of the mountains. I think you would love it!
Would love to see airports:
MCO
SNA
DFW
DAL
PDX
Phoenix mesa gateway
DEN
BOS
He’s not going to do all those
Yes PDX
Why PDX? It's a good airport, but not that remarkable, IMO.
@@burgerboy5088 just making suggestions, that’s all.
Mother in law is a Delta FA based out of CVG, so this was a pretty cool video to check out. Also flying out of here 12/4 headed to Denver so I'll have to check out the spotter area before my flight. Keep the awesome videos coming!
I think my sister used to manage a terminal or hub there at CVG way back in the mid 2000's or something along those lines.
You should visit Pittsburgh International Airport due to its insane history with US Air's main hub and how it died and then grew again.
Love it!!! You should make a video on Ted Stevens AIA and Hartsfield Jackson!!
Interesting! Liked your SLC program and would enjoy seeing your take on IAH.
This is my second closest Airport (Beside Lexington KY). Probably will be using this in the future for a trip to Korea/Japan. Just because its a bit closer to/cheaper than flying out of LEX for a trip like that.
STL used to have a plane spotting area across from the end of 12R-30L, but it closed after 9/11 because it was too close to landing and departing aircraft, posing too great a risk from shoulder-fired missiles. When I was a kid, we used to lie on the car hood and watch aircraft land and take off right above us. It almost felt like we could reach up and drag our fingers along the bottom of the fuselage.
Go to KIAD Dulles has a super cool aerotrain 6+ terminals and a non-stop heavy rush but mainly from 2-5 pm
See either Las, Lax, DFW or Denver, they are all so big! Great video!
Thanks for doing CVG I live like 20 minutes away from there
this is a nice series. I work on the ramp at in Toronto so its nice to see other airport operations
We need a video of Indianapolis International, and the Col. H. Weir Cook Terminal. People know to ask me if I can pick them up and drop them off because I love going to that airport. It even has a Delta Lounge, and Delta flies (or at least used to in saner times) to Paris, a flight I wish you would have been able to take as well.
CVG is my home airport. I love cvg, its a very clean, n modern airport.
Another great vlog Jeb
The series has been really good so far
I know it is a small airport but VPS (Destin - Fort Walton Beach). They are in based in Eglin Air Force Base.
I remember connecting in CVG flying DEN-ZRH in 99. I doubt anyone today would believe me flying CVG-ZRH lol
This airport has become a huge air cargo hub, similar to United Parcel Service's huge hub at SDF in Louisville, KY and FedEx at MEM in Memphis, TN.
Yeap, we work in logistics.
It would be great if you visited MAN/EGCC - my local airport! It also has a spotters park like at CVG, plus many more great spots!
In Puerto Rico the SJU has a plane viewing area with a snack shop and a small playground
If you like cargo, check out the FDX hub at MEM after the passenger terminal is renovated.
Please check out the airport John Glenn out of Columbus Ohio! I don't think you've ever been here to do a video & commentary!! 🛫🛬📸
It’s been a while since I watched your amazing videos
I, for one, would have loved to see a lot more of the DHL/Prime Air (Amazon) operation. You may also want to check your history. DHL landed in CVG well more than (I think you said) 2 years before moving to Wilmington (after buying Airborne Express) then coming back. They had their first CVG HUB on the North West end of the airport long before there was ever a thought of building the new HUB at the South East corner. Just drove by there today and turns out FedEx has put in a facility right on the spit that used to be the DHL HUB.
All the airline mergers inevitably resulted in some cities being de-hubbed, and it's interesting to see how the airports adapt afterwards.

While low-cost carriers like Allegiant and Frontier picked up some of the slack, I think it's unlikely the airport will ever see hub-era passenger numbers, simply due to the lack of connecting passengers.
DTW and MSP are now the connecting hubs for Delta, which all used to be Northwest hubs before the merger.
If you could visit O’Hare, that would be awesome. Chicago has a lot to offer too for a little trip
Austin Bergstrom has a viewing park too. That would be a good airport to do too.
I may be a bit biased but I'd love to see you cover either of the 2 major airports in Phoenix, either PHX and/or AZA
I’m sure it’s in other comments, but CVG is actually located in Hebron, KY, in Boone County. The airport board is located in Covington, KY, in Kenton County.
I recommend going to Anchorage Ted Stevens airport. The number of 747s flying there is insane.
You should go to MSP airport. They just went through a major renovation. And it is a major delta hub.
