Inside LAX with Airport Operation + New Control Tower Visit

- I spent a day behind the operation scenes at one of my favorite airports; LAX - Los Angeles International.
I follow Jon, an airport operation superintendent on the runway inspection, we drove on the longest runway at LAX among busy airfield traffic. Jon showed me what airport operations do to maintain airfield safety. We picked up some FOD (foreign objects and debris), escorted a Korean Air B747-8 (Group 6 aircraft), did ground inspection, and visited several airfield construction sites.
Then, I visited the new LAX Traffic Ramp tower at Bradley Terminal West. The new tower was opened last year and operated by LA Airport Operation. The ramp tower controls 2 taxiways to the East and 2 taxiways to the West of the new Bradley West terminal due to reduced visibility from the ATC tower. Enjoy some great traffic and plane spotting from the new tower location. The International traffic is bouncing back. I spotted some new airlines such as ITA Airways A350, Zip Air B787, Korean Air B747-8, SAS A350 and many others.
Finally, I visited LAX Airport Response Coordination Center (ARCC) where all the departments such as Airport Ops, Fire department,

There seems to be a scam running around using my name in the comments on this video. There is no prize and do not give any personal information or reply to this scammer. I have reported to TH-cam already.
Thanks for the announcement Sam.

I am very sorry to hear that! I will not share with that scammer at all! But I don't get what "There is no prize" means here.

Seeing the complexities behind the scenes at LAX astonished me. Great job. I knew LAX was a complex environment but you revealed so much more. I loved the final time lapse work by a true artist.

Thank you. LAX is a city of its own. There are so much interesting stuff happening behind the scenes everyday.

So nice to see LAX that had major upgrades.
Such a cool insight into their airport operations! Love it
Yeah
This is outstanding, Sam. What a terrific expose on LAX. Very Nicely done!
Congratulations Sam you got my bucket list wish marked to what's it really like to run down the lax runway while planes fly In-N-Out at lax. I also learned something new with that little door on the engine
Its so cool to see LAX from a whole new perspective. As LAX is my local airport, I go there all the time to planespott but ive never seen any of these amazing places. Great video Sam and keep up the amazing work!
Great video… the Timelapse was spectacular
Really enjoyed this film. I can see you were in aviation paradise.
LAX should have their own show. Great job!
This a airplane buffet. All the yummy and gorgeous planes in one place. LAX airport. Thanks for the vísual delighted video
Last time lapse was incredible
Great job 👍
Thanks! First time viewer. Awesome content!
9:17 WHAT A BEAUTY!
Omg you are the men I saw by the window in the finnar landing!!
So happy to see Philippine Airlines. 🇵🇭
One of your best videos. Wish it was longer!
As it is an airport where airlines from all over the world come from, there are many rare models. And it's the first time I've ever seen a car drive on a runway like that. Thanks for the fun video! And... even the scene of putting oil into the engine of the plane! Today's video is the best!
Love from india(vizag)❤️❤️❤️
Great video, Sam! I always watch Airlines Video Live with Kevin/Rudy, and it's good to get someone else showing us another side of LAX!
I sure hope that one of the networks picks this up for broadcast!! So well done that you would think that it was done by Netflix or some other reputable streaming service.
Superbe vidéo !! Merci !
Wow!! An absolutely amazing video❤✈
Very Cool Video!
my wife was in that philippine airlines flight!
Dope video!
Amazing video!!!
I saw a 777 Korean at ATL
Can we just appreciate the quality of this man’s videos 😩
Ofc😍
Lit
He just reuploads the same thing every year...
It’s hard to express how grateful I am for your videos Sam. Keep it up!
Agreed
Thank you Ryan. I really appreciate your comment.
Love your vids
Thank you very much for introducing such a fancy LAX operational status with a beautiful 747-8I from Korean Air including Asiana Airlines A350-900!
Fantastic job Sam!
Really loved seeing all that traffic coming back. Miss filming in LAX :D
Don't know when you are coming back to LAX. Airline Live Videos streams, I think, about 3 days a week. Sunday's stream is about 13 to 14 hours starting at 7 am LA time. (It is not my channel and I am not a member!!) One Love
This video brings back a lot of great memories for me, from my years of working the ramp in the mid 80's into the mid 90's, at the Ontario International Airport (ONT) approximately 50 miles east of LAX, Working for a contract service company called Ontario Aircraft Service/OAS, having many great opportunities while working there working with UPS, Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Braniff Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines to dealing with horse charters with Kalitta's "Connie One" 727 that would carry race horses from Ontario to Louisville, Kentucky for the Kentucky derby to dealing with military charters with Tower Air with their 747's and World Airways with their DC-10's sending Marines to and from the middle east in the first gulf war to dealing with Air Force One when it would fly into Ontario and having the great opportunity of going up into the Ontario Tower during a few down times in between working Alaska Airlines flights to visit the Tower and spend time enjoying watching the amazing air traffic controllers handling flights in and out of Ontario to having the opportunity to ride with Airport Operations with a person who had previously worked for Ontario Aircraft Service, who one day, drove up next to me on the ramp and said "Do you want to go on a runway inspection?" I immediately said YES as I was getting into the car, it was amazing and then afterwards he showed me things about the airport that I had not known before, showing me old taxiways that had what looked like cul-de-sacs at the ends of them where B-29 bombers would park when the airport was a military base during world war two.
That was Awesome Sam, I am glad that you have such a great friend in LAX Operations who enjoys escorting you around and showing you things and places that only people who work there usually get to see👍🙂
Have you ever hear of punctuation. That was painful to read.
@@geftiler2112 it's heard, not hear! STFU and let the man have his memories!!
Awesome Video...Been doing Airport Ops for 13 years and still like to see videos like this....GREAT JOB
Sam, I have said this before, and I'll say it again. You're the man. You go places mere mortals cannot access. There are some great planespotters at LAX, and the one thing missing is a location on the airport for spotting. They either have to go to Clutters Park on the South, and several places along Lincoln Blvd on the West. Keep up your excellent content and adventures.
Ll
Thank you. I appreciate your input.
Thanks for sharing the video Sam. I too work for airport ops in NYC . We often have difficulties explaining what we do to other people . From escorts to wildlife ,this video describes it to a tee .
Wow SAM I gotta say - best video you ever made! LAX is so personal to me too. I've been flying here with my dad from Munich so many times as a child and teenager until I finally moved out here for my flying career and it makes LAX just such a special place for me. You really captured it very niceley with great insights and amazing footage. Really loved the shot of the -8 and the A340-600 (LH452/453) that I've flown on so many times. Thank you, thank you and again THANK YOU! Kai (We met at Catalina before)
Hi Kai, nice to hear from you. Its awesome to see DLH only sends 4 engines planes to LAX :)
I've been on an Air China 747 the Chinese government let me borrow for a flight to Singapore for the June 2018 summit and I gotta say, as cool as a 747 is, they're still nothing when compared to the glorious workhorses of Antonovs, Tupolevs, and Ilyushins of our Air Koryo fleet. Especially superior compared to the Korean Air fleet.
pffffff
Dude focus on feeding your people..
Ok, this is the greatest plane video ever!!! This is the side we don’t see. Gorgeous 747-8 and 787-9. I want to be on ops now!! Meanwhile, 747-8 is the best looking plane in existence! The Queen!
The 787 and the A380 are special and unique planes in their own right and I've flown both - theres no way around it, they are more comfortable and nicer than the 747.
But seeing and hearing the 747 roar past on take-off, there truly is no other plane like her!!
Awesome video, Sam! Most travelers do not realize all of effort that goes in to make flying easier and safe. Your video takes us behind the scenes to show us details of operations I had not thought of before. Sam, over the years you have unbelievable access to aircrafts and airports which most of us can only dream of - lucky you!! Thanks again for this video. Hope to see more such videos!!
It takes skill to be able to keep track of so many movements of so many planes every day and control stress. But ATC is just one part of an airport. All these other people also play a role in keeping an airport functioning. Teamwork really does make the dream work. It's no wonder LAX is able to handle so many. Kudos to Jon, he's such an awesome guy taking care of the runways while at the same time making sure the wildlife are also safe. And I agree, gotta love seeing a 747-8 in action. Even when they retire, the 747 remains the Queen of the Skies in our hearts.
Absolutely beautiful video. I grew up at LAX in the early eighties while in flight school and throwing bags onto a USAir 727 and working for Lufthansa as a ticket agent. Lots of great memories and good times. Met my wife there. Thanks Sam.
LAX is magnified through your lenses Sam ! Thank you so much
Panda one is just a fantastic ambassador of the aviation world. Thank you for all the exciting videos. 👌
Hahaha Panda 01 is the call sign of Samy Samy?
Fun fact about Tetiaroa: It's an atoll that was leased to the late Marlon Brando for 99 years (Hong Kong moment) who fell in love with it while shooting Mutiny on the Bounty. He built a small village there that eventually became a hotel managed with his third wife Tarita Teriipaia (his on-screen love in the movie). After his death in 2004, the atoll was closed tourism until an effort was made to reopen the atoll as The Brando Resort in his honor. The resort opened in 2014 and in 2016 it was named the world's best resort by Conde Nast
Sam thank you so much for this info I got a message stating that you had something for me Sam its sad to know that dishonest people are doing these things you don't deserve this 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹✈️✈️✈️
One of your best and most interesting videos Sam. It must have been a blast to do. Great camera work by you and Chris's time lapse is superb!
Great job Sam! LAX is my favorite airport, loved the video especially the time lapse.
Save for the chaos around the clock at the horseshoe.
Great video. Your tarmac visit is not a ticket of front row seat. You are literally on stage. I visited LA a few times. I will try to watch airplanes taking off and landing. LAX is the best airplane for plane spotting. By the way, Boeing-747 is also my favorite airplane.
Complex place but brilliantly run by great passionate staff.Good Video!
Just came to view it after hearing on live airline videos show in LAX about the KOREAN AIR’s Queen of the Sky they’ve said you’ll be on the show and podcast.
I saw your instagram post and I really hope your mother gets better soon, all the wishes.
Imagine if Orville and Wilbur Wright could see this video! Would they die of excitement or terror?
That’s me @2:55 🤣 happy to meet you @Samchui
awesome video Sam made my entire weekend so lovely seeing all the beautiful airplanes dreamliner and Airbus A380 are amazing also the A350 ,wonderful to see 747
I love your videos Sam. I would watch full documentaries about the Aviation industry if you chose to make any. You got rare footage and info that brings us up-close to the aircrafts and airports that's hard to find anywhere. Thanks for your work Sam. You are appreciated. Best YT aviation channel, hands down.
P.S. I do hope you consider a documentary. Lol.
It’s amazing how sparse the amenities are in LAX. Despite all the traffic that airport sees, and all the revenue it generates, things as basic as water fountains and electrical outlets are seriously lacking.
Is money just being sucked out of LAX and into the pockets of the monied?
I had the chance to tour the PDX Tower / TRACON two weeks ago. The TRACON was steeped in safety protocol and professionalism. The controllers were very professional and highly motivated. We weren’t allowed pictures but we did get to take photos from the catwalk up top. It was fantastic.
Great video installment about LAX
If I remember correctly, this exact 787 did a direct flight from Tahiti to Paris during the COVID : 15h45 of international and still domestic flight !
Yes indeed!
I could watch this HD-footage of widebodies landing and taking off all day. Great work, Sam!
Absolutely, Sam, this is one of your best aviation videos! Love the jets, love the variety, and your Ops host is a natural filmmaker! Please send us more like this from major airports around the world. Panda 1 rocks!
Never seen this channel before and the quality of your content is fantastic, better than any TV show. Keep it up Sam and team, well done.
Awesome footage. When Sam said "If you catch one you miss another" I got chills. Would love to just spend the day at a major airport like this.
See it all the time when I watch Airline Videos Live. A380 will be landing so we miss the 747 taking off. Emirates has ALOT of special paint schemes
I am definitely in the right channel. Since I was a kid, I loved to fly (window seats obviously), plane spoting and Flight sim hours (even as an ATC). I am a mechanical engineer and now that I'm 52 y/o, still love it as back then. Sam shows that is not all about first class traveling... is about planes, airports, operations, ATCs, and a whole universe behind a flight ticket.
Love your interview with the flight turnaround and ground teams, with the chaos, noise n engine heat around them. Gives a real feel of the working environment. Nice
Jumbo 747 is very classic big airplane and still to fly throughout the World. ✈️🛩🛫🥇
I have a question for you Sam. With the ratio of pilots/passengers, we know that the volume of passengers is growing exponentially. How can the industry keep up in producing or supplying proper and experienced pilots in this rate taking into account it takes years to master this job?
Love your experience on this video today. In my opinion, LAX is one of the best airports in the world. Because of its all different types of aircraft they have. Your tour has made me a more detailed way of looking at LAX. It's open to a lot of different aircraft
12:20 Your Callsign
Hope you had a great time at LAX.
Waiting for your next video!
LAX has all the heavies. The breathe of their assortment is astonishing for which only a few airports can match.
Fantastic to see ITA a350 with daily nonstop flights to Rome. Los Angeles non stop to Italy hasn't existed for 20 years now
That Timelapse footage was absolutely incredible showing how busy LAX gets and the variety of different aircraft and airlines from all over the world
Sam I had the same experience as you did my uncle took me on the tarmac and we got to see a Korean A380 and I got to climb in the engine i was so happy.
Sam, this is incredible. This video is much better than reviewing first or business class. The Queen of the skies is in my fave. I have flown on many airplanes you can only imagine. The biplane, when I was two, standing on my mom's shoulders and screaming all flight long.
Thank you Sam for bringing this amazing experience to the palms of my hands.
Really enjoyed this one Sam - makes you realise all that’s needed behind the scenes to keep a great airport running.
The time lapse shots accompanied with the music is marvellous. Thank you Sam the Panda. 😂 👍
I used to work at Newark Airport as a lead ramp agent (international) about 20 years ago.
This video takes me back! SAM YOU ARE THE BEST TO EVER DO IT FOR US AIRPLANE GEEKS! #team747
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Fantastic!!!!!!
Well done job Sam.
You always raise the bar higher.
💙💙💙💙
This is one of your best videos to date Sam! As a person who works Airport Operations at another airport, I always love seeing how other airports handle the challenges that each day brings. Kudos to the LAX team for helping to make this video possible!
On which airport do you work?
Awesome video. Very interesting how LAX mange their airport, very complex. Thanks Sam, take it easy.
Thank you very much for capturing taxing of Asiana Airlines aircraft in LAX. I am so glad to watch this video as a crew of Asiana Airlines. 🙏
Thank you. Hope I get to fly on Asiana A380 next time out of LAX!
Hi Sam
It was really nice footage, specially thanks to editor.
Brilliant Job Editor 👍.
Also We hearty invite you to India.
Welcome to Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Airport Mumbai (BOM).
Love from India.🙏
Amazing behind the scenes video, Sam! This will make people appreciate all the great work each individual at the airport provides. We all should be kind and understanding while these men and women work hard to ensure we have a smooth and safe travels. Thanks for all the footages, they are truly amazing. Love my home airport!
I watch Airlines Videos Live with Kevin and Rudy and have learned so much from them about LAX
Thank you Sam! This was amazing. What an adventure to see different airports and ATC’s. 🛫
You should consider partnering up with that Asian comedian Jimmy Yang and do some airline comedy - hell you could even market yourselves as Sam Chui and Chop Suey 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve flown out of LAX numerous times and I never had any idea it was such a complex airport. It’s a miniature city ! Also love the call sign Panda-1 !
Hi Sam I just really love your videos ✈️💕 thank you for the great work you put in your videos.❤️
That Korean Air 747-8i landing was actually very smooth. AMAZING video Sam. May I ask you to do this in JFK too? It’s my home Airport and one of the busiest Airports in the world especially because of its geographical position. As always, thank you.
The two panda pros Sam I like the music you used to end your video it will be nice if you do more videos at other airports excellent work Sam ✈️🇹🇹✈️🇹🇹✈️🇹🇹✈️🇹🇹✈️🇹🇹
Sam I love your behind the scenes videos, always a pleasure to watch and made with such high quality. Excellent work! Hopefully you can another behind the scenes with my home airport KMIA!
LAX may not be the sexiest airport in the world but I love flying in and out of it. I rarely if ever have delays in LAX, everything is always running efficiently.
Excellent video
That Korean 747-8i makes the Thumbnail interesting.....🛫🤓
......then, why the Thumbnail changed into Air France A380?
This is fantastic Sam! You just showed an important aspect in airport operations that a number of people are not aware of! 💯
Awesome video and look forward to many more KLAX shorts! I wanna say I've crossed path with Jon at some point lol. Man oh man the AOA here at lax run around crazy! They keep everything in order. It's great to show others the view I get everyday at this wonderful airport. Keep the awesome work Sam!
It makes you forget the nightmare that is getting in and out of LAX! Well done!
Fabulous video .. the only thing missing is the Inn-n-Out Burger down the block! Loved it Sam!
You never get bored watching Sam's videos because of the different varieties of videos he brings up. Kudos Sam
Sam, It turns out you inadvertently filmed the retiring captain (Han Kyu Kang; Korean Air B747 Captain on KE018 on that day)'s last take off! (around 7:40 on your video!)
Thanks for adding to the moment for all the viewers. Wishing Captain Kang a great retirement with many precious memories. 👏👏
Sam great vlog as always
