Very nice compilation, this is the first video I've seen from this airport. Love that Turbo DC-3!
Thank you very much!
I’ve operated the Delta Connection/Endeavor CRJ-200 into PWM several times. The harbor visual approach, especially at sunset, is absolutely stunning. Great video!
Thanks for the comment :) Any idea why 29 arrivals are doing this weird approach? I'd be interested to understand why they don't have a RNAV or ILS on 29 instead of this one.
YQBspotting - For runway 29, an ILS and RNAV approach both exist, but on either side of the harbor are noise sensitive areas. So when the weather is appropriate, we are cleared for the Harbor Visual that takes us between islands and down the harbor to minimize our noise footprint.
Very interesting! Thanks for the answer :)
Nice plane spotting mate!
Thank you! :)
@@YQBspotting You welcome!
Stunning spotting compilation from Portland.
Thank you very much :-)
Incredible spottinng
Thanks!
Beautiful spotting! Love the in-between GA action & Basler DC-3😎😎
Thanks a lot! :-)
One of the best spotting videos in youtube in my opinion! :)
Thank you very much! :)
What a wonderful little jetport! My faves were the DC3 (obviously) & the Beech 99 that preceded it. Great variety of shooting positions & I love the sunrise at the beginning. Particularly the fog in the backdrop
Thank you very much for the comment Matt! The DC-3 was the Highlight for sure :)
Nice presentation. Don't recall seeing any plane spotting vids from Portland, Maine before so this is a rare treat. Star of the show is definitely the Air tec DC3. Good catch.
DC-3 was the highlight for sure! Thanks for the comment :)
Great video!
Thank you!
Nice video. It makes KPWM almost look like a kind of a busy airport. I live 2 miles from it and it's not a very happening airport these days. When 11/29 was closed this summer and fall for a stint for construction, watching all this stuff use the shorter 18/36 was very interesting but seeing our FedEx A300 heavy and 757's using the short runway always drew a lot more eyes. 5600' for landing and 6100' for takeoffs especially for the big stuff along with the crosswinds was a good show.
Rough timming in aviation... It must have been very interesting to see when 11/29 was closed! The airport looks quite busy in my video cause I wanted to get pretty much all the regulars. Thanks for the comment :)
@@YQBspotting Yup, you did a good job capturing it and making look good. The approaches to 18/36 are RNAV approaches so they are not precision ILS approaches so the minimums are less. Seeing a commercial jet breaking out of the clouds coming into a short runway in a crosswind was fun to watch. When you go spotting again, go out on a windy day when 18/36 is the prime runway so you can catch the short field stuff. Your perch from what appears to be on the top of the parking garage should be a great place to catch some good video.
Thanks again!
I worked there for a couple years awhile ago and the only time I have ever seen 18/36 used for anything other than GA aircraft was when we had really bad crosswinds on 11/29. Was kind of fun seeing a JetBlue a320 take off from there.
Amazing footage!
Thank you! :)
YQBspotting you’re welcome. :)
Midwest Express I miss you ;_;
Wow, the DC3T was a nice and unique catch!! Fantastic video, big like from me !:)
I was so happy when I saw it was departing while I was there! Thanks for the comment man :-)
Hey man! I know I’m 3 years late, but thank you so much for this video! Im a local Planespotter with 1.4K subs and I do planespotting from all across the country, and I want to thank you for in the comments telling me and the others where this spot it, because while I’m in Maine for 2 weeks, I’ll be hopping by over to this spot! Great video, keep up the great work
Thank you very much man! You're welcome, I hope you enjoy spotting at PWM :-)
Anyone else notice the puff of black smoke from the MD-90’s #2 engine just after rotation? 3:26
The smoke actually came from the landing gear. That is something you see pretty often :-)
superb spotting , liked
Merci! :)
Awesome video mate 💪 big like
Thank you very much :)
Awesome video! I'm a spotter at PWM. Good job catching the DC-3 as well. Last time one was there before this video was September 2018 I believe. Can't wait to see more from you! P.S, was this recorded in the summer?
Thanks for the comment! The DC3T was for sure a really cool catch! It was recorded in September 2019 :-)
I am proud to boast that I’m an operations coordinator at this airport
lol
I like the Dassault Falcon, the Irving Empire has one here in Saint John, NB. That's for video, don't usually get to see too much of the East Coast American airlines.
I didn't know Irving had a Falcon! Thanks for the comment :)
Nice video!
Thanks!

Well I’ll be! I flew on that exact plane recently!
Portland international jetport
Nice Video!!!
Thank you!
all them little planes flying these long routes
Plane spotting is definitely better on the South Portland side (shown in the last half of the video). Even better before they built the repair hanger that blocks most of the view…
This is also the location I enjoyed the most!
What camera did you have for this video? Lol
Same one, AX-53 :)
Crazy seeing United 737s back at pwm. It’s been 20 years since they’ve had service to ORD from there.
Great editing by the way!
Interesting! Thank you :)
@@YQBspotting I got to plane spot a bit, but since i wanted better shots, is going up to the garage free?
You have to pay but from what I remember it is not super expensive.
Hey dude sorry I’m later to the party. I go to Maine quite often in the summer time and I love planes. Where exactly did you film this? Was it near the airport, on a road, etc. thanks in advance. Also what is the best time to see the most planes? Not sure if I want to spend a whole day haha.
Hi! No need to be sorry lol! I have no idea what traffic looks like in PWM right now but when I was there, the best timming was at noon till late afternoon. The best place to watch plane is there : www.google.ca/maps/@43.6421797,-70.3096191,71m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=fr
@@YQBspotting great thanks. Very helpful.
11:59 what is wrong with Southwest's engine cover? It looks like it's splitting in two....
This is the thrust reverser. You can see it opening at 11:58. Most of the Boeing models have the same system.
@@YQBspotting Cool. Thanks for letting me know. I thought it was coming apart. LOL.
Where were you for this?
MAC Air and parking garage.
Where do you do your plane spotting from. I know there's a little parking area off the airport road but seems like drug dealers and shady people meet there. Is there anywhere closer to the airport you can meet?
I've been to PWM one time only so I don't know a lot about good locations. The parking garage and the parking next to MAC Air were my favorite places.
What road and where is this spot?
@@YQBspotting Thanks@ I'll check those out!
hi where do you go to get the videos at Pam
What do you mean by "Pam" ?
@@YQBspotting pwm
What's the plane on 17:43?
Its a Piper PA-32R-301T.
