Do you have any additional video or still photos that would have any if the US Airways support vehicles from 1993 to maybe 2000? I found two US Airways Express marked Ford Rangers, complete with flat beds and steel tubular guards and bumpers. You can see one of them in a short I uploaded today. I’m hoping to find a video or picture of them in use.
That day in 2000 MCO served from places like Miami, New York, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago, Charleston (SC), Atlanta, Boston, San Diego, Salt Lake City, London, Paris, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Portland (OR), Denver, Seattle, Dublin, Manchester UK, Toronto, Anchorage, Honolulu, Beijing, Rome, Accra, Mexico City, Osaka, Sydney, Cairo, Moscow, Frankfurt, Madrid, Reno, Spokane, Johannesburg, Minneapolis, Charlotte, Fort Lauderdale, Auckland, Manila, Houston, Ontario (CA), and a few other nonstop cities from Orlando that day
Do you have the exact date and time of this video? In Christmas season of 1999 it was entirely possible that I was there, boarding a flight to Chicago.
My first flight was on either USAirways or AirTran in 2003 I believe, to Disney in Orlando. Both airlines are now gone and in the matter of time that wasn't that long ago. Sad to see how few airlines exist today.
I miss the CVG hub! I flew in and out of there Christmas last year and it is so different than the hub days--it was a little sad. I would 1000x much rather have connected there than ATL.
It's these exact images from my childhood that got me into flying. USAir at PIT... Now 20 years later I am a Pittsburgh-based first officer, and unfortunately these days are all gone...
Looks deserted to me. Wasn't this "new airport" supposed to put PIT on the map? Thanks US AIRWAYS for abandoning this great hub. Still hasn't gotten the respect (OR SERVICE) PIT deserves. How's the schedule to PHL?
@@carlosphillips8447 oh no it was actually extremely busy and annoyingly crowded. the constant noise of airport paging and announcements is a good indication of how busy it really was. i chose quiet unused areas to film mostly. this was filmed right at rush hour (between 4 pm and 7 pm). our flight to RDU was delayed for 4 hours (it was a Fokker F100 from CLT)
Saw that British Airways aircraft and thank goodness PIT now has three transatlantic (however some seasonal) destinations. I think PIT is trying to creep back up to its hub days.
2017 Airport of the year. the 1st American airport to achieve that. WOW and Condor recently being added to international flights and apparently recent talks to bring back British Airways again. if any airline can make PIT a hub it should be Southwest. They are the most popular airline at PIT.
Nice Video! Also take a Look at my Review of 2016! I would be very happy if you enjoy and give the Video a like!:D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KIixLSbW2qQ.html
it was non stop according to the monitor at gate B5. Not sure if it was a once weekly or summer seasonal service though. This particular summer day also had nonstop flights arriving from Munich, Paris, and Zurich (all three hadn't yet arrived during my visit, but gates B9, B7, and B6 respectively had monitors displaying the flights). The 777-200 seen in this video was arriving from London-Gatwick at gate B10.
I was working for Comair inside Concourse C at the time. The SABENA flight was a nonstop, both ways! During the fall & winter, the flight was operated by either an Airbus A340 or an MD-11, but once the weather warmed up, here came the Boeing 747-300!
