Plain planes are all we have anymore. Watched planes for 40 years at my airport and you could see from the 70s till the late 80s- 727,737,747,767,757, DC10, DC9, DC8, 707, bandit, shorts, dash' s, and convairs and a slew of smaller aircraft all during the 4 to 7 rush hour. Now it's just A320s 737s 757s and CRJs with a A321 thrown in.
Thank you for this, never knew they used to line up 3 "commuters" short of 1L! I saw 2 all the time until "Mike" was split to "Mike" and "Mike 1" by 1L, but never 3!
It used to be some old airlines like American West, Canadian, Continental, Mexicana, Northwest, TWA and US Airways (US Air formerly). And they used to fly to San Francisco.
Thanks for sharing this with us - I could watch your videos again and again. I wonder what the Jetstream J31 was at 26:29 ??? Does anyone know? Never saw this livery before...
Typically the SFO-LAX portion of cargo flights like Nippon Cargo...if that's what you're referring to. I do now see the JAL 747-400 in the video...yeah that's pretty odd, huh. European flights sometimes takeoff on 1R. Invariably, KLM do these days. Aeroflot used to go out on 1R as well.
JMMT7022801 Pretty much the same everywhere. Atlanta is the busiest in the world and yet the spotting their is awful. I'd say now the only places with a good diversity is JFK and LAX.
Justin Hopkins Planespotting, in general, is only gonna get worse with Delta and United retiring their 747s. Cathay Pacific and Air France got rid of theirs recently. The A340 is living on borrowed time. Things are gonna get to the point where all we'll see are boring, antiseptic twin engine planes.
