Thanks for making this man, much appreciated!

15:30 Mt. Ranier appears from behind building, to the right of the wing tip.

Thank you👏

You can see the shadow of Mt. Rainier at 27:30

If I'm not mistaken, I can just about make out the area where my house is.

Soon to be 4K 60 FPS 😉.

@@sla31 That a boy! I love mine.

Max seems to smoothly. Bigup for additional cabin flight video coverage including passenger sit up, safety instructions and menu.video quality.the best

I’m glad you enjoyed it my friend!

Settle. Airplane are you going to land are you a man in Seattle

I really appreciate that my friend. Many people don't realize how much work goes into creating daily content. Especially when it comes to the full flight videos that are 2, 3, even 4+ hours long. So, I always really appreciate it when people understand that. Thanks my friend! As for your point, you're right. There are a lot of people out there doing "trip reports", or trying to be first to upload. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy their videos, and I do try to post mine as soon as possible, but like you mentioned, mine are different. I'll never be first to post, because my videos are so much longer, but at the same time, I'll also never have commentary, music, or text to distract anyone from what my videos are truly about. Pure aviation. The love we all share for aviation, whether it's because we're aviation enthusiasts, we just love travel, they help you relax, or for any other reason. I want my videos to be as pure as possible. I want people to watch my videos, and when they're finished, I want them to feel like they just took the flight with me. I'm also not trying to hate on anyone here, like I said, I really enjoy everyone else's videos, but when I take a flight like this, and I know there are a bunch of other "RU-vidrs" on the flight with me, I don't really worry about it... I know there will 8 videos from different people on this flight, but I know that 7 of them will be 12-25 minutes long and will be "trip reports", and then I know there will be 1 that's different. It takes a lot of extra work and effort to create a "full flight" over a "trip report", and I'm typically the only one who does that. So, I always know that regardless of how long it takes me to publish the video, or how quickly other people get their videos posted, that my video will always be set apart. Anyways, thanks again my friend! I really appreciate it!

@@sla31 Keep up the work bud. I like to read a lot, and the sound of the videos help me concentrate. Randy

@@sla31 Well said, my thoughts exactly. Thanks for all your hard work,

And thank you for watching!

Seattle is definitely one of my favorite cities to visit. Thanks for watching!

Love your city.

Seattle is my hometown as well. Love seeing the take offs and landings in and out of Seattle!

I hope you enjoyed the flight my friend! Thanks for watching!

Happy to be there! I love Seattle! I wish I could visit more.

I'm glad you enjoyed it my friend. Thanks for watching!

It was my pleasure! Thanks for watching!

Himalayan mountains right?

@@corruptbins Wrong continent XD

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching man!

@@sla31, it is always such a pleasure to follow your flights and your experiences along the way. Each adventure is so well put together on all of your trips. I am grateful for your having subscribed to my channel my friend, I wish mine were as great as the ones you produce but, I am only using an iPhone here which has developed an occasional issue with the internal camera mic which I hope my using an external mic may remedy, I’ll have a chance to find out on my next 4 leg trip coming up this Saturday 3/6/21 so I’m crossing my fingers, lol. I am honored truly by your subscribing and I am thankful my friend!

Glad you enjoyed it!

It had that new plane smell! Thanks for watching my friend!

There's quite a few actually.

Wdym? Not rare

I was in DFW about 6 months ago and saw a 757 old American livery.

Thanks my friend!

Thanks for watching my friend!

Glad you enjoyed it my friend! I too love your state, even though I don't live there. Washington state is my favorite "non-tropical" area of the country. Thanks for watching.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

thats mount rainier

I know this is not related to the video, but I love your channel name! The funniest thing is that I thought about the song from The Captain and Tenniell, "Love Will Keep us Together" when she sings, "Whatev-uh." Yeah, I know it's weird, but that's still one of my favorite songs, even though it goes back to 1975. Anyway, it's a catchy name, so please keep it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks my friend! That means a lot to me. I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Thanks for watching!

@@sla31 You’re welcome!

Thanks my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for watching my friend! I appreciate every bit of support but I greatly appreciate anyone willing to help support the channel through Patreon!

I’m glad you enjoyed it my friend! Plenty more on the way!

I hope you enjoyed it my friend! Thanks for watching!

Hahaha. It's about time I get a new pair. The trip I'm taking this week may be the last for this set of Converse.

Awesome my friend! It’s a good one for sure!

I'm glad you enjoyed this one my friend! Thanks for watching!

It was great to meet you too my friend. It was a great flight, and I hope you enjoyed rewatching it as much as being on it! Thanks for stopping by my friend! Maybe we'll run into each other again in SBA for Southwest's first day of service. Looks like the DEN flight that I'm on will be about an hour after the flight from LAS lands.

@@sla31 yeah I saw that too. I’ll try to stay and your plane land👍

It was a great and stunning flight. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching my friend!

This flight was filled with great views from start to finish! Thanks for watching my friend!

Thanks my friend! Much appreciated!

Thanks for watching my friend!

@@sla31 my pleasure 😉

I'm glad you enjoyed it my friend! Yes, Southwest is next (and last in the US) to put the 737 Max back in service. They will do so next week, on March 11th. They have three flights scheduled at the same time that morning. Flight 6001 from DEN-MDW at 7:00am mountain (I will be on this one), flight 6028 from MCI-HOU at 8:00am central, and flight 6008 from BWI-MSY at 9:00am eastern. Of course, with time changes, all three depart at the same time. Since the DEN-MDW flight was given flight number 6001, I chose it since the first time Southwest put the Max into service, the flight number was 1. As I've learned recently, any Southwest 6000 flight number is an "add-on" flight, and wasn't originally part of the schedule when the schedule was released. So, since all of their Max flight have 6000 flight numbers, 6001 is as close as you can get to the original 1.

Thanks for watching my friend!

Thanks for watching my friend!

It’s crazy isn’t it? Thanks for watching watching!

It really is amazing how quiet the 737 Max is. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching my friend!

The Alaska livery definitely suits the Max well. Thanks for watching my friend!

Thanks for watching my friend!

Thanks for watching my friend!

Ikr me too

Thanks for watching guys!

@@sla31 2:17:00 needs to be in your next channel trailer 🤩

It was indeed! Thanks for watching!

Looks great in Alaska's livery, doesn't it? Thanks for watching my friend!

I think delta will get it eventually when the max is more settled.

This was the very first flight for Alaska I believe!

@@jzaviation3032 nah Delta will not get the 737 max. If you look at Delta you can see they haven't made any Boeing orders. Not even the 787. They will buy A220s and the A321 Neo instead.

The reason I don't do that, because other people have suggested it as well, is because I want my videos to be purely about the aviation. I want it to be as close to you being in that seat as possible. And obviously, you don't have points of interest showing up in your window when flying. Thanks for watching my friend!

Well, the good news is that it'll be there when school is over!

@@sla31 same I had to quickly skim through the video and quickly leave for school but I was still the second like

Thanks for watching man!

It was fine. I don’t think Alaska has the best all around first class, but for a flight from SEA-SAN it was fine.

I remember flying over it on a united 767 from sfo to ewr, it really gives you a sense of how large it is.
