Orville Wright’s last flight was in a Lockheed Constellation. Not a 67…but to him, it must have felt like a Saturn V….. PS: we lived in CA for 20 years…and I really miss Sand Dabs😜
Good point! Years ago cities had a predominantly yellowish/orange glow from sodium lamps but as those are being replaced with LEDs they now glow with a whiter brightness.
@@davidc9424 I remember flying into China as a kid in the 80s. Every street had the exact same yellow lights even out in the country. Had a really cool atmosphere, seems really mysterious.
@@LegendLength OMG you flied to China in the 80s? I was learning its language and working for a while in China for about two years. In the 80s I am pretty sure very few people in China could speak English. My first experience to Beijing was in 1998. I am a Japanese, first time to China was from HK in 1997. Dragonair under Cathay Pacific. My first landing only by myself was at LGA at night. I was 18 and was not sure could understand English well or not. My host family was waiting for me. Never seen this kind of night also.
@@davidc9424 Those LEDs streetlighting for commercial areas use Kelvin 4500 which is intense. More residential communities are now going to softer LEDs with more of the old incandescent type soft light Kelvin 2700 providing that warm, cozy yellowish glow. I do miss sodium vapor color as they are quickly disappearing.
@christophergays3996, and I hate that lighting! The old low pressure sodium vapor lights were perfect for night time illumination. Cheaper to buy and operate LED lights make no difference to the consumer in the monthly light bill.
Hands down one of the best night approach videos due to the visibility and complexity of the low long descent right turn almost akin to Kai Tak approach . Thanks send more !
i always thank the pilots for a safe landing. i hope they appreciate their own efforts in navigating safely. i.ve flown in national airport (now called reagan international) during the daytime but this night landing in NY was gorgeous. thank you to all the pilots who get us safely to our destinations
I so enjoyed seeing this nighttime landing video. The city was all aglow as well as the cockpit and the aerial views were stunning. Thank you very much for sharing this. A great video.
This was the last approach I flew into JFK in the 747 before I retired recently. So much fun and there’s nothing I wouldn’t give to still be doing it. Well done!
I was born and raised on Long Island. I loved it when the 747's flew over my home coming into JFK. It always made a slightly different "sound" so I knew it was on of those jets. Loved watching this video. These pilots are incredible. I look at all the instruments there and to me, it's amazing how they can land those planes--especially at night!
That RNAV is an unusual instrument approach. Visual segments at the end (multiple waypoints with altitude restrictions) for noise abatement, missed approach instructions that I don't 100% understand. Look it it up, fun! And thanks for posting, DC Travels.
Yeah I agree... very dodgy in some respects, the pilot ignored the waypoint markers and was off centre compared to ILS instruction. Very suprising/eye brow raising... i wonder if the pilot was cautioned?
You clearly don't know what you're talking about. ILS approaches are not curved. This was an RNAV/ Canarsie VISUAL approach into 13L. It can be flown as an RNAV approach or the same with visual guidance. Regardless, this approach is largely visual if the weather is completely clear. This approach is also known as the parkway visual. Where they follow the highway until the lead in lights to the runway. There was also a significant crosswind from the left.
Pretty cool, I remember when this airport was called Idlewild, when on August 19, 1961 I landed there in a VARIG Super Constellation G when I was 12, I am now 75 and wish they never changed the place to JFK!
It was more scenic before 9/11 when we would fly over NYC Central and Times Square going into the western runways of LGA and JFK. Big city lights at night are stunning. Always looked at them as paintings on black velvet. But NYC is pretty nice. DFW and FTW is another amazing sight at night. But nothing in this world can compare to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
This was my favorite approach to JFK flying the B767-300ER in the 80's and 90's, arriving at night every time. Began with the Camrn Arrival from the Southeast and then vectors to join the Canarsie VOR Approach to runways 13L/R. After the Canarsie VOR you just follow the Lead-in lights to the runway. This famous approach was created during the late 1960's, I believe.
@cantstandtheestablishment4004 Stabilized approach criteria were met with descent path and aircraft configuration, but it doesn't prevent required turns for runway alignment. Another great example of a unique approach where you see something similar to this is at DCA - Reagan National on the River Visual 19. Aircraft have to follow the Potomac River to avoid prohibited airspace and make the last turn to align with the runway well below 500'. Lots of great videos here on TH-cam from spotters at Gravelly Point Park showing this, and a few showing the view from the cockpit.
@jorgeB767-3ER I was in a FedEx 727 back in the early 90's on my first visit to JFK and we flew this approach. I wasn't a pilot yet (pre 9/11 when employees could jumpseat) but remember seeing those lead-in lights for the first time and thinking how unique the approach was. Glad I had that perspective and have been able to fly it myself many years later.
Another great view is driving westbound on the Belt Pkwy and seeing an A380 make this approach. I'm guessing the aircraft is making the last right turn is only around 200 ft. over the road. Often travel the Belt and have been lucky enough to see the A380 do this a couple of times. Thanks for upload, beautiful video.
This is a fantastic video. To see it from behind the pilots is very striking. What a great way to make a living. We passengers thank all the crew in the air and on the ground.
A very spectacular landing and very skillfully executed. Thanks for the nice video. Boeing 767-300 is the plane on which I had my first flight in my life! Greetings from Ukraine!
Great video. I had the great experience of observing a night landing from the right seat of a Twin Comanche into Fort Lauderdale. To watch our pilot pick his way through all that traffic to a safe landing was amazing!
Although the weather is clear, it is always challenging to “ follow the rabbit” lights, do to a steady crosswind. Requires a good pilot hand flying proficiency. Cheers to this crew !
Very easy approach. Just follow the lead in lights, the sequential lights, or just fly into the lights of the cars on the Belt Parkway. Thats the busy road next to those lights. As a retired corporate pilot, I’ve flown this approach many times over the years, The fact I lived in NYC made this video all the more special. Thanks. If memory serves me correctly, this is the Canarsie approach, unless they renamed it ?? This approach is as much fun as shooting an approach into Kai Tak, no longer there. I’ve flown into there five times in my life, and lived to talk about it.
It has not been renamed, and it was never called the "Canarsie" approach, even though it uses the Canarsie VORTAC as a waypoint. It is called the "Parkway Visual" though indeed pilots do tend to refer to it informally as "Canarsie".
Wow I couldn't even work out where the airport was, those flashing lights are very neat but still had me searching until the last turn directly to the runway
I can see those flushing lights often when driving at night on South Conduit. They are between S. Conduit and Belt Pkwy. But from above they look amazingly beautiful .
Very cool - thanks for the upload. Brings back memories when I flew a CRJ in the area. Both day and night time visual approaches were good fun, especially into LGA from the west. "Ref the BQE highway, then left at the water tower" --
I first learned of the pre-runway timed flashing lights "beckoning in" to the runway in my first jet flight 707 manual they put in the seat pocket, way back as a kid in 1962, a flight from LAX to O'Hare Chicago. But it was drawn as a straight on approach. It looks like here they have these approach lights turned on way earlier and curving around 90 degrees, so these advance lights guide the plane to the runway from whatever angle a plane may approach from, not just a straight on approach.
Scariest landing this regular passenger ever experienced was PDX on a very windy evening. Jumper flight from Seattle in one of those turbo prop commuter planes Alaska uses. Choppy flight is one thing but we dropped, I don’t know how many feet in a second and came screaming hot fast for a landing. Scared the shit out of everyone but the flight attendant. He had quite the sense of humor and as we pulled in he announced “In case you didn’t notice….welcome to Portland” It was rather amusing at the time and cut the tension. Pilots deserve every cent you earn in my book💯
At first I thought he was carrying a little too much power on final, but I'm glad I kept my mouth shut. He knows his sink rate a lot better than I do, and his approach and glideslope were perfect. Which leads to a textbook perfect landing and short rollout. He had all the numbers perfect the whole time. Airspeed, groundspeed, sink rate, glideslope, flight track. It's thrilling to witness a perfect approach and landing on such a beautiful night over one of the most magnificent lighted landscapes you could ask for. Well done!
The (in)famous Canarsie Approach! It requires additional training because of the visual navaids and the steep turn at 500 feet. One of my friends is an A-330 captain who claims to love this approach because of the challenge! I’ve been a passenger on many flights using Canarsie, but it isn’t as noticeable from the cabin. I posted one of them on YT. (The reason is because the airspace shared with LaGuardia and Newark is intertwined, and makes the approaches tight and complicated)
Oh, I thought I was imagining things when I viewed what I thought was the Citbank baseball stadium (very close to La Guardia) at the beginning of this video. Does the shared airspace between the two airports explain my perception ?
Looks like Runway 13L. A very short approach with a steep turn prior to lining up comparable to Kaitak to avoid most of the city and the La Guardia traffic.
I have been to JFK many times, and wondered why those jets always made those steep right banks before landing. Cockpit view clearly demonstrates why. A straight in arrival would make Brooklyn and Queens unlivable

Or an SEP without ifr.
That's the kind of reality TV that I like. 😀

Thanks 👍
Been there done that
Prefered approach of the JFK controlllers
I love pilots who can land a plane nicely!!! Thank you. ❤❤
Pilots are amazing people
We need more video like this, love it !
I don't jumpseat too often but look forward to capturing more cockpit footage like this in the future
This was the last approach I flew into JFK in the 747 before I retired recently. So much fun and there’s nothing I wouldn’t give to still be doing it. Well done!
Thank you indeed for making available the video track of a landing that I practiced myself many times over the last three + decades... as a passenger.

Sounds like a memorable experience flying in a classic propliner like the Constellation.
I had the same experience, flying home from Kansas City, August '61. What are the odds!
Very soft and comfortable landing for the passengers. Looked like very good weather. Nicely done.
It was more scenic before 9/11 when we would fly over NYC Central and Times Square going into the western runways of LGA and JFK.
Big city lights at night are stunning. Always looked at them as paintings on black velvet. But NYC is pretty nice. DFW and FTW is another
amazing sight at night. But nothing in this world can compare to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Something mesmerising watching the cockpit all lit up at night.
How can ya not love the "Ka Nas See" Approach? It never gets old.

its something how a big machine just fly's through the air like that, technology is amazing,
I'll never forget first time night flying with instructor and how quickly the runway disappears into the city lights....
That was awesome ! Thanks for filming that.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just fabulous. Used to Fly Prop Planes. Cessnas 210s, Piper Tripacers. Love the View from the Cockpit. Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed it

❤ nice job.
Every day. A spectacle.
My son & Grandson fly to New York tomorrow They will luv it....And the flight....
dudeeee. That's the first time I've seen a night time landing in HDR. I've got goosebumps rn. wow.
Hello. Watching this from Brazil. It is amazing
Hello, and thanks for watching!
I used to fly this aircraft! I love his large cockpit, thoughtfull ergonomic. It's widebody heavy aircraft but is controlled easy and free
The slightly bumpy cockpit with contrasting color relative to the skyline reminded me of Dr. Strange love flight scenes.

Wonderful aircraft, wonderful approach❤😍🔥
So cool made that look easy!!
Minus the bad landing
It is easy
@@TB-um1xzlanding was perfect numb nuts
Fantastic landing what a big bird to fly👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻glad u guys safe🎊
Absolutely amazing video! It gave me the chills!
Loved Canarsie back in the early 1990’s. A great neighborhood
Very nice job. Done it many times myself.
1:20 gotta fall in love with the sound of landing gear doors opening.
Much better than no sound and that is when I worry
nice video, interesting landing pattern
Magnificent stuff. Looking to become an airline pilot sometime down the line. Stuff like this is why I love flight ❤
Go for it! Always follow your dream
This at first glance looks like a game its amazing footage
And if you throw in a little fog at 500 feet, when turning, hair will grow where there is none. Enjoyed the short ride!

ROCK! 👍
Great stuff . Thank you . Pull up big apple , pull up big apple !
I find the turning approach really fun! It’s a bit risky but it’s always fun to control and experience!
Totally agree!
I really liked this video. Love cock pit views of landings

You’re not seeing Citifield at the start. It’s further north. They are flying SW over JFK itself at the start.
Great camera work. Nice job
Thank you very much!
@@davidc9424 Of course, keep growing
Certainly an interesting approach.
Would be cool if passengers could get a real-time cockpit view of the approach and landing on their phones.
That was really cool. We don't appreciate air travel enough.
i am an l-1011 guy but i do love that 767 that is one sweet air plane
Beautiful job!
Strange approach, turning approach , will try that on the MSf2020.
Great point. Waiting for MSFS2024. I own 2020, but haven't flown it for a couple years.
Bravo. These guys are flying space ships. -)
I always like landing at LAX at night. Miles and miles of lights and then the black of the ocean at the end of the runways.
That was excellent landing very smooth
Great footage!

I have been to JFK many times, and wondered why those jets always made those steep right banks before landing. Cockpit view clearly demonstrates why. A straight in arrival would make Brooklyn and Queens unlivable
Great landing!
Very very Clear videos it got be in 4k beautiful
Love the rabbit lights. Would need curtains if you lived in the area.
Good thing there's that very bright beacon... a lot of other lights!
