Unfortunately, this was one of those rare flights where the plane was obscured by the terminal/jet bridge at both ends of the flight so I was unable to show the plane from the terminals. But you all know what an American 737 looks like haha. Enjoy!
It's the nature of the beast as they say haha. When you fly commercially, so can everyone else haha. I do what I can to minimize the unwanted sounds, but there's only so much I can do while preserving the true audio. I always say, I can control my seat, I can't control my seat mates haha. Thanks for watching my friend!
It definitely is cool to see the mechanical workings of the wings. That said, I believe you're referring to he flaps. The ailerons are the small control surfaces on the ends of the wings. Right before the wing lifts upwards into the winglet. They control the roll of the aircraft and don't really move much. The flaps, are the large surfaces in the middle of the wing and right at the base of the wing, that extend and retract to increase lift at low speeds. Anyway, thanks for watching my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I'll admit, it's not typically my first choice, as I try to get a good mix between wing and scenery, but in this case, I missed my original connection due to a mechanical issue on my previous flight, and this was the only window seat open haha. So, I'm glad it worked out for you and the others who enjoy it when I sit over the wing. It is the best place to hear all the mechanical sounds! Thanks for watching my friend!
I’m sure you have already thought of this, but I know a couple of airline bloggers that always request either a business class seat (so they can be in the front of the aircraft), or they will purposely request the rear of the plane (when traveling in economy), so they don’t have that darn wing taking up a third of the screen in the video. Just saying…
I don't purposely sit over the wing just to make people angry or rob people of a view 😂. I always select seats in front of or behind the wing. I would never book a seat like this by choice, but sometimes you don't get a choice. If you see a video like this, where I'm over the wing, something happened on that trip to cause a problem. Weather, cancelation, diversion, a delay that caused me to misconnect, etc. When that happens and you miss a flight you get rebooked on another flight last minute, and there is never any good options left for windows at that point. Often times the only thing left is exit rows because no one wants to pay for them. Sometimes things happen and you get a cruddy seat. It sucks, but I spend way to much on this channel to not film a flight. So if I have a window, no matter how cruddy the position is, I make do the best I can so I'm not wasting the flight. 98% of my videos are filmed from in front of, or behind the wing. I can't afford to fly business all the time, and playing upgrade roulette and losing the good seat I already had in economy isn't worth it either. One automated upgrade and you get stuck in an aisle seat in business with no windows open and by the time you can get it undone, your previous seat has been taken by someone else. So, yes I'm fully aware that the seat and window position on this flight and some others on my channel suck, but they are all from trips where things happened out of my control and that's what I was left with.
It has been well taken care of, that's for sure. The old interior paneling gave away it's age, but otherwise I wouldn't have realized. Thanks for watching!
Another good one sir! It's getting harder and harder to get the AA 738's without that hideous logo on the winglet, like a child stuck it on. Fortunately it hasn't shown up in one of your videos yet. 😂
Oh don’t get me started on those winglet stickers haha. I’m all for winglet designs, but the American one with those horrible off center logos are, as you said, hideous haha. They’re just so horribly placed, they look like no thought at all went into them. Anyway, I’m glad we’re on the same page 😂. Thanks for watching my friend!
Always a real treat for me when I accompany you on your excursions into and out of South Florida. Thanks for this and all that you do, my friend, it's appreciated!
You'll be happy to hear that I'll be in and around Florida at lot as the year draws to a close. Both of my last two "major" trips for the year will either have some days in/out of Florida, or even some intrastate flights. I'll also be using Florida as a base of operations, if you will, for a big trip in November to a country south of Florida 😏.
I do not. At least not anymore. When it first came out, I played it for a short time because of all the hype around it, but deleted it a long time ago.
A lot. I do everything on this channel by myself for everyone's benefit. Generally I try to not discuss exactly how much I spend every year, but it's substantial. I pay for everything you see on here out of my own pocket. So, I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to watch, and interact with the videos by liking and commenting. It helps the videos be seen by more people, which in turn, helps me get more revenue from the ads. And that goes a long way in helping ensure I can continue to upload new videos.
It takes awhile for me to get things edited, uploaded, and into the scheudled. Hopefully I'll have that one ready and in the schedule sometime next month. The chances I get it uploaded and RU-vid finishes processing it before the end of this month is pretty low.
I'll admit, I generally prefer the A320 series over the 737 as well. I typically find them to be more comfortable and passenger friendly than 737's. But, as an aviation enthusiast, I'll fly anything I can... Even if it's a CRJ-200 haha. Thanks for watching my friend!
The landing was in Tampa. The city pairs are listed in full in the description. With only 100 characters available in titles, I don’t have room to spell them out there. Thanks for watching!
Devices have not been required to be turned off during takeoff and landing now for nearly a decade. The rule stating the all electronics need to be powered off during takeoff and landing was rescinded in 2016. At least this is the case in the US where the FAA and US operated airlines are concerned. The current rule in place by the FAA and adopted by all US airlines is. Small, handheld devices, weighing less than 2 pounds, may be used during all phases of flight assuming it can be placed in non-transmittal or airplane mode.
@@drewgumbs6125 all is airlines allow filming assuming you don’t film without their consent or other passengers. Of course, all commercial airports in the US, with the exception of Branson Missouri, are publicly owned. So filming at airports, even other people at airports, is 100% legal.
