Full Flight - Delta Air Lines - Boeing 757-351 - ATL-SAN - N581NW - IFS Ep. 352 

@jeff Indeed, you're right. I took that same flight in October of 1991 when I went to Guide Dogs for the Blind to train and graduate with Tapestry, my second Guide Dog. I vividly remember hearing the movie "Robinhood" and the theme "Everything I Do" by Bryan Adams and getting a little choked up, because these Guide Dogs will do anything to save our lives from a drunk driver! One of my classmates lost her first dog to a drunk driver, and I was fortunate enough to have been thrown back to the sidewalk when Kiev, my first one, body slammed me back across two lanes of traffic to avoid a driver going 38 mph. That's what the police officer told me after we waited for the next light for the parallel traffic to surge forward, and we made it across. Kiev got tons of praise from me and the officer after that. That evening, I was telling my parents about the incident, and Kiev got all excited as if she understood what we were talking about, and I know she did. Boy do I miss having one now, but I had to take medical disability and don't get to go anywhere 4-6 days a week which is what's required to maintain a Dog Guide's training. I just had to share this.

Same

@@mrsupra8076 Me too

I like it, but like the 767 too.

Yep. Boeing made a mistake by discontinuing these.

Me to 100%

Except when the IFE screens are broken (that happened to me)

Well, we can! The only thing missing is the real feeling, but I can sit back in a high-backed, swivel chair and feel the vibration from the headphones or speakers. I'd love a pair of VR Headphones!

What makes you like it so much mate?

American was stuck between a rock and a hard place. The pandemic has ruined the aviation industry and yet advanced it at the same time.

@@criminalsxxx4394 it’s a great plane

@@criminalsxxx4394 it's a literal rocket, they put 767 engines on it and kept it on the small side, when this plane lifts off, it goes

Yeah

Agreed! I love San Diego. Thanks for watching!

That makes two of us. Does your heartbeat always pick up just a bit whenever you hear them starting?

The width of the wing reminds me of the old 707, which the 757 replaced. I read that the reason why Boeing didn't upgrade the 707 (unlike what MD did with the DC-8 with new engines, stretched etc.) is because Boeing wanted airlines buying the new 757.

I'm going to fly on a delta 757 from lax to PHNL Honolulu

@@austindarrenor Boeing should have sold the CFM56 engined 707 as a BBJ with the KC135's 17000+km range. Would have made a great government jet

@@visionist7 Yeah, that 707 was such a gorgeous airplane. And so was the L-1011. Now they're gone forever, like that knock-out girlfriend from high school (I'm 64).

Gotta LOVE the pencil. :)

Who doesn’t love the pencil????

Oh that's a great description.

I only flew on a couple of 757s, an Air 2000 one and I believe a Monarch one. Cherished childhood memories.

You must NOT LOVE YOUR GRANDMOTHER...

I don't mean to be rude or anything, but what's a gate mow? . Thank you in advance for the answer.

@@heatherstub he meant now lol

@jeff Are you my cousin? Do you know my mother? What's her name? If you answer those questions correctly, I can respect that. If not, no disrespect meant.

@@zatripreports Thank you. I really didn't think of that. I don't know why, but I really wasn't trying to be a smarty pants. Thank you for the reply. I know (now).

Trying rid of that 80s look. But yeah instead of black/grey, they should make the original concourses look like the concourse F.

I would love to do this. There are two problems though. First, I don’t live near any major airport. So I can’t just hop in my car and drive to an airport and spot. I’d have to stay all day just to get enough footage for one or two videos. And that would be the same day that I would use to fly, to get the footage that I post now. Second, is simply that I don’t have time. There are a lot of different types of videos that I would like to do, that I just don’t have time to do. I do everything for this channel in addition to my regular full-time job, and my family stuff. I simply don’t have time to do a lot of the cool things that I would like to do. Perhaps one day, if this channel continues to grow, it will get to a point where I can dedicate more time to it. But right now I just am not able to. It’s a great idea, and I would love to do it, I just don’t have the time to do it right now.

@@sla31 I kinda figured you wouldn’t have a time. It does takes a lot of time out of the day to go film. I still love your videos and what you bring to us everyday. Take care and stay safe while traveling!

I'm glad you enjoy them my friend! Thanks for watching!

Well, there is a slight * next to this flight. This flight was taken during the height of the pandemic. Things have changed a lot since then. You can now get tea, coffee, soft drinks, and food for purchase on most domestic flights.

I don’t usually have issues. If I do, then I usually just cut my loses and fly home. Then I use whatever value was left on the ticket to rebook something else.

Delta only has the P&W powered 757s.

@Richard Willard Why are you SHOUTING?

Haha @ why are you shouting. 😂. A big part of it is luck, and knowing which aircraft types seem to suffer from discolored plastic more than others. The entire Bombardier CRJ series is horrible. The plastic they use for the inner windows fades over time and becomes opaque. So, there’s a reason why you don’t see many CRJ flights on my channel. The Boeing 717 is also a victim of the same problem, however, Delta does seem to do a decent job of replacing them when they start to get bad. But, every airline has some problems with dirty windows. Delta is not immune. I recently took two flights on Delta where the windows were absolutely horrid. In fact, United Airlines is the only airline I have ever seen someone actually cleaning and scrubbing the windows while at the gate. I saw this happening in Honolulu, on a 777 that was sitting idle for like four hours. They actually had a scissor lift and someone was individually cleaning each window.

@@jaypek43-Phil He probably got kicked out of United plane.

Dear viewers, It’s been 3 years since we arrived in San Diego. I have yet to see movement ahead of me. Please send food. Sincerely, Skylite Productions

@@sla31 LOL!

Over 100 times per year to get enough footage for this channel.

Airlines often change flight numbers, or rotate flight numbers. This allows them to reset statistics with the department of transportation. Airlines offer scheduled passenger service and if a certain flight is late a certain percentage of the time, the department of transportation can fine the airline for not departing on schedule. Issuing new flight numbers, or rotating flight numbers allows the statistics to be reset.

@@sla31 doesn't this constitute fraud?

😂 omg I feel you but I still watch for certain parts and look at soo many videos.

That's why I list the timestamps for each portion of the flight in the description. Despite the fact that these types of videos are by far, my best performing videos, I know not everyone has time to watch the whole thing. Thanks for watching my friend!

@@sla31 And thank you for responding.

@@sla31 ignore ksbear. You do a great job.... Just a Karen

The wing is kind of the most important part of my videos. This is an aviation channel after all. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I always thought that the seats right behind the wing are always the best. Second best might be right infront. The back of the plane is the worst though

Well, I'm always happy to be your virtual getaway. Thanks for watching my friend.
