Welcome to the Skylite Productions RU-vid channel.
On my channel you'll find daily 4K aviation content, including three full flights every week. New videos are posted daily at 2:00pm central on Monday through Friday and 10:00am central on Saturday and Sunday. My channel is all about purity. You won't find me in any of my videos, and that's because I'm not the star here. Aviation is the star of on my channel. I started this channel to share my love for, and the beauty that be can found in aviation, with anyone who might be interested in watching. If you love pure, high quality aviation content, then this is the channel for you.
Now sit back, relax, and join me as we embark on this amazing journey together!
Very cool video, I’m in the planning Stages of a trip to the UK meeting my Girlfriend there and hopefully get my first ever flight on BA A380. Was wondering what is the Best seat on the Beast? Upper deck or lower deck.? I like behind the wing to see flaps extending out for take off and landing, And hearing the Engines Throttle up. Any good advice to a fellow Aviation RU-vidr enthusiast and Photographer?
WOWOWOWOW!!! Super-Fantabulous views and 717 engine power. No jet lag for you on this flight! No need to unleash your Inner Tom Cruise. Anyhow, almost time for me to go watch today's General Hospital. Yep, Ava Jerome has a very BIG target on her back.
I was just watching The Wizard of Oz on 4K UHD and now, I'm watching your latest video. Love these views!! Between you and me, I would've stayed in HI rather than head for SEA during December when the skies are at their darkest. Anyhow, Dorothy's ruby slippers looked even brighter in 4K and so did Munchkinland. And The Horse of Another Color looked brighter too. I've never been to Kansas, but I associate the tornado scenes with that state. Anyhow, another fine video on your part.
Yeah, Reno is much higher in elevation than people often think. The city is above 4,500 feet and the mountains around are obviously even higher. Not the Las Vegas type climate people often associate with it haha. Thanks for watching my friend!
After flying out of HNL more times than I can count, I actually prefer the runway closer to the terminals for departure now. Don't get me wrong, the reef runway is very cool and frankly, is one of the most well known runways in the world. But... Hear me out... I think the views are actually better when you get an 8L departure as you're so much closer to the terminals and the rest of the land. You really only get those departures early in the morning though, before the rush of mainland traffic starts to arrive. So, most of the time you get the reef runway. Anyway, they're all spectacular regardless, so. You really can't lose haha. Thanks for watching my friend!
@@sla31 No, get you. I'm sure after a while you just want to get going 🙂. I have to say my reasoning is simply because I love the taxi past the golf course and the pure uniqueness of the runway itself 🤙. My preffered landing runway is 8L (if seated on the left side) since you usually get a nice long approach along the coastline. But really...is there a bad way to approach Oahu??? 🤣🤙
Hey Traveler. Looks like the approach was getting kinda bumpy for a few minutes. And it is January in Denver, and there is no snow on the ground !! Is that Odd ? I suppose the surrounding mountains have an effect of land East of the ranges? And maybe the higher elevations for the slopes gets the snow. Hmmmm. Oh, there is a little snow here and there. "If you are connecting to another airline, Well, you made your choice, Good Luck !!"
Denver has always kind of intrigued me. It gets a good amount of snow every year. Like 40-60 inches per year. But there's almost never snow on the ground when I go there. Where does it all go 😂.
@@sla31 We get mostly small snow accumulations, like 3-6", which melts off pretty fast with strong west winds and low humidity that typically occurs afterwards. The warming downslope winds eat the snow pretty quick. And the OP was correct, the mountains squeeze out the moisture and most of it falls up there. Winter Park ski area is just 40 miles west of downtown Denver and they get around 350" of snow a year. It's amazing how much the mountains affect the weather here. For Denver to get heavy snow we need an upslope (easterly) flow of moisture, the low pressure system has to track along the southern part of the state, wrapping the moisture around and up against the mountains. Then we get hammered. But that doesn't happen very often, the conditions have to be just right. That's probably more than you wanted to know, but now you know! 😄
So my channel's handle "sla31" is what my username has been on pretty much every website for years. It's a callback to years and years ago when I started playing an online airline management simulator called Airline Mogul. I still play today and anyone can sign up for free: airlinemogul.com/index.php I joined the site not long after it was created and for whatever reasons I called my fictional airline "Skylite Airlines." My user number was 31. So Skylite Airlines "sla" and my user number "31." This was even my gamertag when I still had an Xbox Live account and Play Station Plus account. I suppose those accounts are still there, I just don't use them anymore. So, that's also where the name Skylite Productions came from. When I started this channel, I didn't know what to call it, and since I'd always used the name Skylite when playing, I called this channel Skylite too.
Nice to see another great video with Alaska Airlines the Best Domestic Airline Ever wright there with Hawaiian Airlines. Still waiting for my first Max Flight. Hopefully in November. What seat Number do you have? What Camera or phone are you using?
This was filmed from seat 13A. Careful though, in that area seats 11A, 12A, & 12F do not have windows. They are not even "plugged" they just don't have windows there at all. That is where the electrical wiring harnesses run through the fuselage, so those seats are "window" seats with no windows. And I use iPhones to film with. Currently 14 Pros. I had switched to 15 Pros, but there was a software bug with the camera on the 15's that went on so long I had to revert back to 14's.
@ryanlittleton5615 I believe Allan is referring to the advertising campaign that TWA ran many years ago where the song "Up Up and Away" by The 5th Dimension was used to promote service on TWA. So, the song lives on, but TWA does not.
Great fly! According to your Patreon monthly contribution stats at the time of writing of this comment, you have $354/month. What if I tell you that is amount of how much I make in a month when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and I was working at home? It's not a lot money at the time due to lockdowns. No offensive but now I make about 5-6x more than before thanks to AI photo editor that is faster than I can make. Saves me a lot of time when doing photo editor.
I flew on this same plane from Chicago to Frankfurt in 2016, back when they were using it on international flights. N778UA only does domestic now, I think.
I've never been terrified of flying. I love flying, but I don't think I will be flying anytime soon. Seems like the emergencies among the skies have started to become more often and I don't know if it's just me.
What's happening is situations are getting more coverage now than before. As with many things, the media sensationalizes tings and because of that you feel like it's happening more often, when it really isn't. Emergencies, turbulence, diversions, and incidents happen every single day in the aviation world, but that's not new. It's the way these incidents are dealt with and trained for that make aviation so safe. For example, everyone knows about the Boeing 737 Max crashes. And yes, those crashes were abnormal and shouldn't have happened, but... The way Boeing and the 737 Max have been scrutinized since by the media would make you think that it's horribly unsafe to fly on, and the the most incident riddled plane in history. When actually, it doesn't really have an incident rate any higher than most other aircraft. I recently saw a graph that showed all aircraft incidents in the last 8 months. It wasn't long after the Alaska exit plug incident and I think that was in January. Anyway, this graph showed all aircraft incidents worldwide for the time leading up to that incident. And again, you'd think with the way things are reported, that the 737 Max and Boeing would easily lead all aircraft types in incidents, right? When it was actually the exact opposite. Both Airbus and Embraer had more incidents in that time span, but no one hears about that because it's not what gets people to click articles or watch videos. Since the Max crashes, the media has had a magnifying glass on aviation as a whole and you're just hearing about things more. They were happening before too, you just weren't hearing about them on a daily basis like you do now. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Increased awareness can only make what is already the safest way to travel even safer. There's a reason why there hasn't been a deadly crash in the US on a commercial flight in 15 years. And that was on a commuter airline. There hasn't been a deadly crash on a mainline US airline for 24 years. Because despite the media and headlines, the aviation industry is incredibly safe, even today. Thanks for watching my friend!
