CHICAGO Airports 25 YEARS AGO (1993) 

Wow, such amazing memories 25 Years ago. Nice to see the planes before my time. Liked

Vienna Plane Spotting Hey Vienna!

15 dollars? Smh, what a rip off

Jesus Christ!!! This is my childhood in vivid color. What a treasure trove of carriers of that time. Question: how on earth did you manage to not include a single Midway Airlines jet at Midway Airport? That is a feat in itself. I would hopefully assume that the complete video contains much more, yes?

I am finding some inconsistencies with the 1993 year. The Lufthansa 742 according to airfleets was scrapped in 1980. And that America West at 8:10 is registered N620AW. That aircraft is stored now but was with America West only for a year from 1989-1990 and then became a US Airways aircraft. Perhaps this is a collection of footage from different years.

King Hip-O I thought the same thing, then I found your comment! 😂

That same thing happened in the movie called home alone.

Bingo LOL nahhhh.... 😂😂

Bingo Bango same happened in home alone 2

Speaking of which, did American Airlines really fly DC-10s between O’Hare and Orly?

Lufthansa has a new logo.

They introduced a new look in the last year

Yeah and their cargo company still has the Famous Mcdonell Douglas

they got a new livery and i feel like they really didnt need too

@@kleenexbox974 They didn’t. Doing away with the yellow was a mistake in my opinion.

I have 1/400 domodedovo il 62m

@@planeflight1202 Sadly not anymore. Far as I know, the only airline flying on the US-RU routes now is Aeroflot (with Delta occasionally adding a seasonal JFK-SVO route), with routes being SVO-JFK (3x daily 2xA333 and 1x77w) SVO-MIA (A332/A333 depending on capacity) SVO-IAD (A332) SVO-LAX (A332/77w depending on capacity) They also have the flights to Havana, Cuba, operated by A332. No more classics.

That was butter

Yes... Butter smooth landing. I felt like Glide slope is too low...

hiphopboy36 I still prefer the 747 over the 380

AKA, the “queen” of the skies

Still are.

Idk, maybe pilots were extra careful

one reason would be that ORD has so many runways in multiple directions that cross-wind landings are rarely necessary.

... 8:35 ??? 9:36 ??? (no such thing as the good old days)

JB Rattler today you have the A220, A300, A310, A318, A319, A320, A321, A330, A340, A350, A380, A319 Neo, A320 Neo, A321 Neo, A330 Neo, Antonov An-148/An-158, 707, 717, 727, 737, 747, 757, 767, 777, 787, CRJ 700/705/900/1000, II-96, ERJ 135/140/145, ERJ E-170/E-175/E-190/E-195, Tu-204/Tu-214, DC 3, DC 8, DC 9, DC 10, MD 11, MD 80, MD 81, MD 82, MD 83, MD 87, MD 88, MD 90, etc etc. Your comment is wildly incorrect.

Cool Apple I think the person means more variety in design.

@@goxaviergo11 You rarely see alot of the planes you mentioned, some don't fly at all anymore.

I know right, All we have now are boring twin engine jets. I want diversity back!

@@PEPcessna it's kinda what we have to do to reduce emissions and increase efficiency

My parents used to take us to the ORD observation deck for a cheap family outing. I don't live in Chicago ATM, and I miss ORD!

Also back then, a man's word actually meant something. Nowadays you've got all these millennials who have never once put in a honest day's work.

aa 191

Long before the L went that way. Did you ever ride on the wooden trains?

747-400 had them so did 320s and 319s

3:58 look at em wings boi

dan kuettel lower efficiency! Love it. -gotta enjoy the pollution while we have it-

Well would you look at that, some 747s in this video have winglets i

They got bigger planes with T tail stabilizer.

Because the greek community is very important in Chicago and still is.... When Air France uses a B767-300 between Paris-CDG and Chicago...huhuhu....

Prove it. What’s your address ?

@Lily M?

@@bobduvar All of the greek owned hot dog-gyro-italian beef places are a bigger corporation than McDonald's. They all have different names but the exact same menu.

Yes what's your address? Proof or it's bullshit

t gamer it was the queen back then, it still is now.

@John Sluder I thought LAX had more...

t gamer before the airport was full of united 737s and regional jets

Yea this was their prime days

Yeah because 747 is common in 90's Because now 747 is only for cargo :(

That specific one?

Ah yes Damn those obligatory safety features

lol

Aeroflot, Russian airlines

Wow thats very cool to hear Ian. Those were the first few programs we ever made and yes I think those who were around during those days miss them a lot!

Scooby Carr well the MD-80s are gone unfortunately now.

Jhon Lewis American still has one 737 painted in the classic livery

Liveries used to be so much better in the old days weren't they?

@@borinakoune1803 yes i completely agree!!

@@borinakoune1803 Nope. It’s not the liveries we miss, we miss the diversity of aircraft types...

Swiss is still existing

I think he/she means the livery of old Swissair... I like too...

Swissair is actually dead, because they went bankrupt The new one is Swiss International Air Lines

@@Solunex Ooo... they're different company?

@@danaq5110 The current Swiss was formed out of a smaller Swiss regional airline called Crossair to take the place Swissair had held as the national carrier.

Actually, I loved the industry in the early 70's before deregulation . There were even more airlines and colorful planes back then .

Iron Horseman I don’t have a problem with winglets. I just miss the louder engines and the trijets!

What's wrong with the winglets? The only thing really to be missed is the variety as it was before a lot of mergers. I don't really differentiate the sounds of engines. But with that said you couldn't find out what type of plane or route it was at your fingertips with flight aware. Or listen to ATC

@@kinkisharyocoasters Winglets make the plane look ugly, especially the really large winglets. The clean lines of the wing are broken up from the side and the back and front. I think Airbus has some really tiny ones on some planes that are barely noticeable so aren't too bad but Boeing has terrible ones. At least the 777 and 787 don't have them. the a350 winglets are terrible too.

@Micah Lall-Trail people used to travel wearing suits, only well educated people traveled by plane and no TSA or delays.

@Micah Lall-Trail Because there were less routes. And population was lower.

Argelis Jiminez Suits? in 1993? You are kidding! I was flying in jeans or shorts back then! Some aielines demanded a tie or jacket in lonhaul business or first.

No delays??? You are kidding! This video is about flying in 1993 and not in 1953!

tanaydebnath. I was born 1993 can't beleve25 years past now I am 25age so much memories really miss those times nice vedeo only memories left.

it still is in Iran, I think

It is in Iran

In mid 80's I flew on LH to Frankfurt from ORD many times, I think I remember some of those flights were on 747 Combi , am I right? or am I getting old and senile, I think it was flight 432 used to leave around 4 in afternoon.

When did Lufthansa start having entertainment on the seat back?

Yeah, I loved TWA and their designs.

Until the TWA flight 800 from NYC to Paris and Rome in 1996....
