Gravelly Point Park in Arlington, Virginia, USA |Plane Spotting |Reagan National Airport | DCA 

As a young man, I'd ride my bike there and watch the planes. It used to blow me away how the Ransom and Piedmont Dash-7s would appear to hover as they lifted off on windy days. Then I learned to fly and got a job at NATIONAL flying charter out of the old Butler terminal at the North end of the field. Then I got a job flying Metro's out of NATIONAL for a small commuter. Then I took my little kids there to look see the planes. Then I got a job at one of the Big 3 and flew 727s,-737's-757's, and the Airbus out of there. Now I am a retired old man with a bunch of great memories. Love it.

I worked at DCA for Delta back in 81 82 in January 82 i was one of the eyewitnesses to the Air Florida 737 crash

I went here so many times in my life and I love watching the planes land

I was thrilled to see the landing of each flight one by one immediately.... Very interesting and nice spending too😊

I grew up in this area and every time I visit home, Gravelly Point is on my itinerary. Spent a LOT of time there in my youth.

As someone who lives near DCA, I know where my next planespotting video will take place at thanks

Nice video​ Big ​like​😍🌿👍

These are some fantastic catches 👏 Sound🤩

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful landings compilation

Way back in the day, during summer vacations, I would ride my bike from the Ft. Myer main gate, past the Iwo Jima Memorial, along Arlington Nat. Cemetery, & along the Potomac till I got to Gravelly point & watch the action for hours, & ride back, never breaking a sweat. Not so much 35 years later.

Nice thx for sharing

Wow wow Amazing

This is great! Thanks so much for posting!

At Gravelly point, everyone becomes a planespotter for a moment

Nice video. Love taking pictures and video of planes too. Look up Little Victor having fun at the airport and tell me what you think lol.

Excellent videography 👌

this spot is always on the list when we're in the DC area!

Looks super fun! Wish I could be there

Good morning my friend

Hi, what time of day were these shots record? Thanks.

I hope they cleaned it up. I wouldn't allow our children out of the car, in the 80s.
