What an awesome sequence of departures! So many things I haven't seen before... Hope you all enjoy the video! Filmed on July 19, 2019 Camera: Sony AX33 Follow me on Instagram! / leppaviation
Thanks to Canadian Plane Spotter for the information! For clarification on the Eastern aircraft, here's the scoop: Some entrepreneurs from Miami bought the rights to the Eastern Airlines name in an attempt to bring them back as a charter airline in 2015. They were bought out by SwiftAir (a US charter company) and had some painted in SwiftAir colors, but eventually reverted back to the traditional Eastern livery. Their 767s came from Dynamic, a company also based in Miami. Right now, they're being wet leased out to Sunwing because of the 737 MAX groundings. Pretty cool!
New scoop is now they're suppose to bring in 777s into the fleet by next year which is exciting! One of the 763s is currently in the paintshop. Great spotting btw hope to see more!
I don't like it. The money they are spending on it you would think they would try and change from the United and Continental. They have a bad image the last couple of years. If you are going to spend millions re branding they should have gone with a completely new look.
That eastern 767-200 looks really good in my opinion, you don't see many 767-200s flying I believe air Zimbabwe flies a few and I think a couple other airlines operate those as passenger aircraft.
I absolutely LOVE the fact that u list the age of the aircraft & flight duration!!! I wish more plane spotting channels did this. I gotta ask though, Eastern Airlines? The only Eastern Airlines I remember went bankrupt back in the 90's. Are they a charter airline?
Thank you! And yes, I'm very confused about it too. Supposedly, Eastern is back, but they aren't really their own separate airline. They're currently flying routes for SunWing and have a few of their aircraft painted in SwiftAir colors. So I don't know if it's some sort of sharing situation or something else lol. And when I search the registration, it says their owned by Eastern Airlines, so who knows!
@@LeppAviation that's interesting...gonna have to keep my eye out on that. A few of the aircraft I saw on ur vids had the same colors as the Eastern I remember so who knows, maybe they are making a comeback. I rem going to my home airport of Pittsburgh in 1990 to catch a flight & seeing this huge mob of protestors & police outside of the passenger drop off; Eastern employees picketing, ha. Thx for the reply 😎👍👍
They were acquired by Swift Air not too long ago, and have actually started the process of stretching out their flights to be more cross country, both north and south.
Some entrepreneurs bought the rights to revive the Eastern Airlines name in Miami back in 2015 as a charter airline. The livery was all the same. Soon after, they were acquired by SwiftAir (another American charter company). SwiftAir had initially painted the Eastern fleet into a new livery (the yellow and blue seen here) but recently decided to revert back to the traditional Eastern colours. The Boeing 767's came from Dynamic Airways (also based out of Miami) and Eastern is wet-leasing them to Sunwing while the 737 MAX fleets remain grounded. Hope that helps :)
The camera panning is great. And the flight/aircraft info made me a sub'er. Is there a blast shield at the end of the runway you were shooting from? That first departure could wreak havoc on the traffic if it were a '47-8 with full thrust applied after stabilizing.
There is an aircraft in this video that shows Eastern and it's logo on the aircraft, yet is not Eastern. How can this happen since aircraft names and logos are not transferable just to any company ??
It is Eastern, if you search the N number on the aircraft, they are owned by Eastern Airlines LLC. So it's real, they are just in a share with Swift Air.
It's either put up with the traffic, or cross the road and lose a lot of the airfield view, unfortunately. There really is no good place to plane spot around the perimeter of the airport.
I live in the UK and cannot fathom the idea of a DOMESTIC flight being 5 whole hours. Guess that's what happens when Canada is such a huge country. 5 hours to Vancouver, or just an extra two hours the opposite direction and you're in London.
They aren't still flying, the went bankrupt over 20 years ago lol. But they are trying to get Eastern up and running again and are currently in a share with Swift Air
Dude I know I was freaking out when I saw it! Some entrepreneurs from Miami bought the rights to the Eastern Airlines name in an attempt to bring them back as a charter airline in 2015. They were bought out by SwiftAir and had some painted in SwiftAir colors, but eventually reverted back to the traditional Eastern livery. Their 767s came from Dynamic, a company also based in Miami. Right now, they're being wet leased out to Sunwing because of the 737 MAX groundings. Pretty cool!
It's a special administrative region of China. It technically is a part of China, as Hong Kong is not fully independent from it. Though it's not a city directly in China, it still classifies as a region of the People's Republic of China.
