thanks, Yannis! this is some of the best spotting conditions a spotter will ever get. Oddly though only the hard-core crowd knows this I think. I was the only one out there at the time I was spotting for this video. Perhaps people are just trying to keep their cameras dry : )
I know I'm not the sharpest tack in the box but I still can't comprehend how planes fly. Great video once again my friend, was great seeing you on Saturday!
The wing condensation gives a good visual on air flow and density. But yeah, commercial airliners seem like they would weigh too much to fly. And I can one up that! I don’t see how a large ship can float! Lol. Knowing the principle behind something doesn’t always allow for total comprehension. Cheers
Love the AstroJet livery! They should return the whole fleet to it. When I was 7, we flew on an a 707 AstroJet from then-Idlewild. To a youngster, it felt like we were going to the moon (although sadly we were going to a funeral).
haha! well my videos aren't exactly made for kids... XD Interesting Fun Fact: according to my analytics, the 18 and younger crowd is the smallest of all the demographics who watch this channel anyway.
wow! I once went to LAX and got a great video in the rain there... it's back aways in my history but you can view it here on my channel. great wing vortice effects in that one.
it can be a couple degrees apart and you can still get good condensation. but yes, when the two meet you will certainly get condensation of some kind. :)
Great video! Would you be okay with me featuring it in an episode of Airplane Compilations ? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description as always.
it's been a while! good to hear from you. yes, this is not really rare to see at ORD but I just haven't filmed it a bunch :D I'll have to get out there and film this more often.
yes, Sean! 10R is active yet again! and it seems they have settled on a new taxi route that takes every arrival to that runway past "the hill".... so expect good spotting from this configuration in future.
