@@georgebosse9393 I would say 1959-2000 was best. In my book, it's a must to include early quad jets such as 707, 720, DC-8, and Convair 990 in the mix of planes from the "best" era.
0:22. One of those Champion Air 72's was involved in a controlled crash experiment in the Mexican desert in 2012. Started out with pilots, the pilots baled out and the 727 crashed unmanned.
Many planes and airlines in this video went missing a while ago, if you have any idea where we might find them please contact us. We really want them back
@@daherb6034 Not necessarily unreliable, just a lot more expensive to operate than newer builds (higher fuel consumption, maintaining three engines as opposed to two engines on modern airliners, and having the third pilot in the cockpit as opposed to two pilots in modern airliners, just to give you some examples).
So many great childhood memories, thanks! I vividly remember asking my mom to take me to the airport for airplane spotting. We would park adjacent to 25L (now 26L) and I would watch for hours. Amazing video
No Thank you! Watching this video has been full circle for me! From watching from that very spot as a kid, to working the ramp for Swissport, to now being a captain on the 757/767 for one of the “big 3” legacy carriers. Thank you again so much for the nostalgia.
I was in the 11th grade when these planes were soaring the skies, I remember these planes as if it was yesterday, I remember when I saw this Silver looking Southwest flying over my high school around lunch time when we were outside jogging around the tracks, I couldn't make out what Airline it was at 1st, until I saw it the 2nd time flying over my house, that's when I got a good glimpse that it was Southwest, I probably seen it twice in my lifetime, but never saw it again, I thought it was a good looking bird, sometime in the 90's we were at the airport waiting for our flight, and I saw a Southwest that was white on the fuselage, and the tail was painted it's original color, red orange and gold, another one I saw once in my lifetime, never did I see another one of that color again.
Asi es siempre los aviones pasa por mi casa todos los días y me gusta montar en ellos cada día y noche escucho los aviones pasando arriba de mi casa el aeropuerto queda cerca de mi casa ✈️😍♥️🥰
I sure don't miss the MD-80's flying over my house. The JT8D had to be the loudest engine ever produced. Other than that, great video quality for 24 years ago.
I can't believe how many 757's there were back then, and it's also weird to see the United battleship gray livery on planes like the DC-10 and 737 NG's, that must have only been for a few short years.
Such interesting metal shown in this video. I work for an airline and am not that interested to go anywhere. Who wants to go to HNL in a 737-MAX when years ago we went in comfort and elegance in 747s, DC10s or L1011s
A far cry from what you see flying in and out of Las Vegas today. Miss seeing the T-tails of the B727s and the MD-80s. What I found surprising was the large number of jumbo jets flying in and out of Las Vegas by the domestic airlines.
Great seeing jets without those ugly winglets !! The winglets took away from the sleekness and beauty of the planes.🥺 America West 757❤❤❤ !!! In fact, ALL the 757s !!💕💕💕💕 That footage of the "airplane graveyard" is a re-run.😮
I would say I mis the L10 on Ass-to-ass (ATA) airlines, but between the cramped seating, crappy movies you could barley watch on the projector, headphones that didn’t work, crappy gates and having to deal with old Chicago Midway, and the pressurization not being calibrated correctly (ears would stuff up for days during landing), I don’t miss it.
@@MoldovaBall-tu6mx 1/4 century = 25 years. 2000 was 24 years ago, thus basically 1/4 of a century ago. Aviation looked a LOT different back then, everything after Y2K just sounds kinda "modern".

Any inaccuracies or missing information, do let me know.
Amazing! Thanks a lot 😊
@@djrivera2219 No problem!
This is awesome, thank you for doing all this research!
Thank you for this!
crazy how the exact 727 from that iconic video is immortalized here
Ca. 1999-2000 was the best era for airliners. You had some of the original/first jets and also the more modern ones.
ya when you look at it now you def realize those were the days
1970-2000 best.
@@georgebosse9393 I would say 1959-2000 was best. In my book, it's a must to include early quad jets such as 707, 720, DC-8, and Convair 990 in the mix of planes from the "best" era.
It is interesting seeing old 727s and 737-200s then fairly modern a320s
Watching these older videos really shows how bland aviation has become. So much variety in aircraft and airlines 20 years ago.
Agreed
Most of the aircraft now in LAS are 737s and a320s
Not really
The beauty of planes never changes
I like 727s as much as i like the current 777
aviation in the US is bland because of all the mergers in the early 2000s; you have delta, united, american, southwest.... and then the crumbs.
But its also much much safer now, its very very rare for an airliner to crash in the western world
0:22. One of those Champion Air 72's was involved in a controlled crash experiment in the Mexican desert in 2012. Started out with pilots, the pilots baled out and the 727 crashed unmanned.
Good spot. I believe it was landing as well at 56:48. 🛬
Loved seeing all the tri jets. My favorites.
For sure!
That Sun Country livery was neat! I like the way the writing levels out as it climbs haha
Amazing how much quieter planes have gotten in the past 24 years
Yeah.....Kinda miss the screamers and smokers of yesteryear.
Many planes and airlines in this video went missing a while ago, if you have any idea where we might find them please contact us. We really want them back
Bro most if not all of these planes shown in the video are either scrapped or abandoned. You can't bring them back since they are old and unreliable
@@daherb6034 Not necessarily unreliable, just a lot more expensive to operate than newer builds (higher fuel consumption, maintaining three engines as opposed to two engines on modern airliners, and having the third pilot in the cockpit as opposed to two pilots in modern airliners, just to give you some examples).
@@frankgrimesification Ah okay, thanks!
@@daherb6034😂 a DC-10 is probably cheaper than a 737Max8 at the moment
@@kevgne6889not cheaper to operate though lol
0:53 I even have no idea that FedEx had F27s.
They were operated by Empire Airlines. Empire still flies many C208s and ATRs for FX .
I love the audio, how you can hear the exact moment they flare and cut the power.
And to know those Sun Country DC-10's were bulk loaded😎💪
I know---I used to load them.
@@frankgrimesification Where did you work the ramp? Good times!
@@brionhannan1204 Yes! I worked the ramp and cargo for many years.
@@frankgrimesification Nice, where? I was fortunate to work at IAD, PIE, TPA
@@brionhannan1204 Only worked at LAS.
So many great childhood memories, thanks! I vividly remember asking my mom to take me to the airport for airplane spotting. We would park adjacent to 25L (now 26L) and I would watch for hours. Amazing video
Very welcome, thank you!
No Thank you! Watching this video has been full circle for me! From watching from that very spot as a kid, to working the ramp for Swissport, to now being a captain on the 757/767 for one of the “big 3” legacy carriers. Thank you again so much for the nostalgia.
I was in the 11th grade when these planes were soaring the skies, I remember these planes as if it was yesterday, I remember when I saw this Silver looking Southwest flying over my high school around lunch time when we were outside jogging around the tracks, I couldn't make out what Airline it was at 1st, until I saw it the 2nd time flying over my house, that's when I got a good glimpse that it was Southwest, I probably seen it twice in my lifetime, but never saw it again, I thought it was a good looking bird, sometime in the 90's we were at the airport waiting for our flight, and I saw a Southwest that was white on the fuselage, and the tail was painted it's original color, red orange and gold, another one I saw once in my lifetime, never did I see another one of that color again.
Asi es siempre los aviones pasa por mi casa todos los días y me gusta montar en ellos cada día y noche escucho los aviones pasando arriba de mi casa el aeropuerto queda cerca de mi casa ✈️😍♥️🥰
Man there are some classic planes and classic liveries here
Oh man, the memories of plane spotting in the summer heat. And those singing engines! Love this video, thank you! 😍
Very welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
A lot of the airlines in this video are long gone 😢
yes very sad!
Gone, but not forgotten.
Oh my gosh, the silver SW 737 at 55:10.
It was a Morris Air plane they acquired in the buyout of Morris Air.
Did they ever use anything besides 737's lmao
@@N-L3 Yes, the 727.
@@N-L3 Yes, the 727.
Thumbnail looks awesome
Its a great hour with tons of things that are long gone including America West, TWA, Northwest, lotsa 727s, DC10s etc...
@@justplanes I really wish we still had those. I was born in the wrong generation fr
@@ThatIndianaPlanespotterthat’s what I liked to change
I sure don't miss the MD-80's flying over my house.
The JT8D had to be the loudest engine ever produced.
Other than that, great video quality for 24 years ago.
really excited for this!
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@justplanes I did!
I can't believe how many 757's there were back then, and it's also weird to see the United battleship gray livery on planes like the DC-10 and 737 NG's, that must have only been for a few short years.
All those trijets! You still get to occasionally see an MD-11 (FedEx or UPS) freighter these days.
someone caught some really good planes!!
Definitely miss seeing those Champion Air 72's.
I would love to plane spot in the 1990’s/2000’s
Amo los aviones son mis favoritos del mundo muy interesante el vídeo que subían mas vídeos de aviones ♥️
Such interesting metal shown in this video. I work for an airline and am not that interested to go anywhere. Who wants to go to HNL in a 737-MAX when years ago we went in comfort and elegance in 747s, DC10s or L1011s
Brings back childhood memories seeing this video!!! 🤙
I really miss these airliners, especially the tri-jets , the T-tails and 747s at McCarran LAS.
Wow this brings back memories
I remember when sun country flew across the pond to london
So few jets with winglets compared to now! National, Continental and America West all operated nonstops between LAS and EWR.
Gracias desde Argentina! 🇦🇷
A far cry from what you see flying in and out of Las Vegas today. Miss seeing the T-tails of the B727s and the MD-80s. What I found surprising was the large number of jumbo jets flying in and out of Las Vegas by the domestic airlines.
16:10 the peak of beauty
Delta likes those 757’s !! They still have so many
Ah Aero Lloyd 😢 lsd to spirit in the winter season
I miss flying on the MD-11. That plane had an undeserved reputation. I still see them occasionally as FedEx freighters though!
It's just like traffic on the street now. You may see one or two of these models that still fly but everything else is new now.
Back then they had beautiful planes now they have united and delta 757s a320s and 737s
They're all the same now between Boeing n Airbus.
Reminds me of the good ol days😢
Your video's are awesome.
Specially you made those videos a long time ago.
So I give you for your channel a 4,5 star.
Thank you very much! :)
Why not a 5 star?
Surprised not to see any Reno Air or Janet
7:03 tbh Frontier should bring back that livery. Like it way more than the current.
43:23 MD-87 American N755RA después lo pasaron con Aeroméxico
I love JAL 90's livery!
The Continental 737-800 tail N18223 is still in service with United Airlines
i love how planes still look almost exactly the same as they did 20 30 years ago
They pretty much are. Airbus 319s and Boeing 737s mainly
hi, we have been missing big name airlines
Oh an a Dc-10 with cf-6-50c. And 747s with jt9d.
2:37 MD-80 Spirit
Great seeing jets without those ugly winglets !! The winglets took away from the sleekness and beauty of the planes.🥺 America West 757❤❤❤ !!! In fact, ALL the 757s !!💕💕💕💕 That footage of the "airplane graveyard" is a re-run.😮
:)
i miss cactus
28:13 MD-80 continental
@RunwayAction you should do Pittsburgh International Airport
We haven't done PIT but we did PHL a long time ago.
@@justplanes any chance in the future you would do PIT?
At 1:07 you can (Barely) spot a Beechcraft Starship at the North West Ramp. Just above the 747's tail.
19:43 MD-80 Alaska airlines
MD-11/DC-10 party @31:04 LOL
15:55 MD-80 American
43:37 Boeing 727 mexicana
I refuse to believe Sun Country had DC-10s
22:31 Where is that?
I wish I was born in 2000
I'll trade with you. I was born in 1966.😅
Is the sound from air safety world
I would say I mis the L10 on Ass-to-ass (ATA) airlines, but between the cramped seating, crappy movies you could barley watch on the projector, headphones that didn’t work, crappy gates and having to deal with old Chicago Midway, and the pressurization not being calibrated correctly (ears would stuff up for days during landing), I don’t miss it.
I got 968th like
2:50
This seams earlier than 2000 my guy
You realize that was almost 1/4 of a century ago, right?
@@EstorilEm Century??? I believe you mean decade, or I'm wrong I'm still learning
@@MoldovaBall-tu6mx 1/4 century = 25 years. 2000 was 24 years ago, thus basically 1/4 of a century ago. Aviation looked a LOT different back then, everything after Y2K just sounds kinda "modern".
