Continental Airlines was my first plane I flew with my parents back then around 2007. I was a little kid; my parents wanted to show our family in the Philippines that I became a 'kid' and for me to experience what's like to be outside the US. We took off from Honolulu (B767), then we landed in Guam, later to be transported to another Continental Airlines (B757) heading to the Philippines. After that, we never flew to the Philippines ever since until 16 years later in 2023. We took Philippine Airlines direct flight to Manila; we had a 3 week vacation to visit our family and my parents' hometown after 16 years of absence and abyss - it was an joyful and very nostalgic experience. Every time I see Honolulu Intl Airport, it reminds me so much of Continental Airlines. I already knew it merged with United, but Continental has been forever in my heart. I was not born, nor around in 1997, but seeing this video makes me feel very nostalgic on the days I've seen the diverse aircrafts and airlines back in 2007. Thank you for this wonderful recording.
Used to love plane spotting Hawaiian Airlines DC9's and Aloha Airlines 737's from Coconut Island in Hilo. Back in the 70's United Airlines flew DC8's and 747's into Hilo also. My Grandma would pack a picnic lunch and let me hang out all day at Coconut Island when I was a kid visiting during summer vacation.
Thank you for showing our DC-10s at United. I also miss our recent retired 747-400s with the winglets. I started flying back in 1999. I also miss flying our 727-200s. Those were our work horses on the domestic side. Our DC-10s worked a lot of the Chicago L.A. and San Francisco flights. Just great flying.
Thanks for sharing this. Brings up a lot of memories as a kid watching these classic aircraft, I can almost hear the noise as if it was yesterday, hearing JT-8Dʻs was so common. Back then HNL was so busy and bustling with aircraft. Many of the pilots who flew Aloha (which sadly went out of business due to greedy mainland carriers) Hawaiian, and Northwest flew in the Guard. They all came from KC-135ʻs,F-15ʻs, and C-130ʻs. I wonder if any of them were in this video. HNL has changed so much, canʻt help but think of the old times every time I taxi and fly out. If you have any footage of the C-141ʻs, C-130ʻs or F-15ʻs please do post them!
22:03 1997: united: hi continental. Continental: hi united 2012: United: we are the new continental. Continental: we hoped you enjoyed our airline. But are with united now
22:06 United 747 passing by Continental 747, ironically they merged in 2012 with United adapting Continental's livery & globe logo, replaced in 2019 by the new livery (Still with globe, but now in sky blue)
You must be young 😄 No planes had winglets before 9/11 besides the MD-11, 744, A330 and the little ones on the A320 family. Delta still flies a handful of non-winglet 757s, Alaska has 1 or 2 -900s without them as well. They were added to all these planes after jet fuel prices sky rocketed in the early 2000’s. They look SO weird on the 767. I’m not a fan - miss the jets having the sleek look without the abrupt winglets.
I long for these days. Today's planes with their ridiculous winglets just aren't cool at all. Very boring. This video takes me back to a much better time.
Foolish American Airlines marketing team. It takes the best iconic livery AA ever had (shown in this clip), and changes it to the crap we see today (2021). Much like the folks at Delta (the Delta livery in the 70's/80's [point of reference] was hands-down the best; not the current one). Here's a concept marketing people: when branding is executed REALLY well... DON'T FIX IT!!
Airline liveries have really gone downhill fast over the past decade. It’s really sad. Have you seen Iceland Air’s new one? It’s like 5 year olds are designing them. You hit the nail on the head: AA’s logo and livery were iconic.
