Sorry to my fans, in my earlier Airbus Family upload, I FAILED to showcase the A321. Therefore, I re-edited my Airbus Family video. Here it is. Hope this one is a little better than my previous upload.
For those of us who have difficulty telling one Airbus from another it would be nice to see something on the screen to tell us which is which. The 380, I know. :)
That 380 is so impressive. My first airline flight was in a DC-8 in 1971. The 747 amazed me when it came out in 1968, I was 12 years old and couldn't wait to fly on one. And, I flew on many and some around the world. Then, the DC-10 and the L-1011 fascination. And now, my new fascination is the 380. Gotta fly on one soon.
I loved the A340's guys. I have a Soft spot for that plane. Im allways amazed by the size of the 340-600 and then a 380 comes down and i realise its TWICE the size, blows your mind. I live close to Heathrow (teddington) and the number of A380's coming over now is unbelievable. Only small planes are BA A320 family now mostly, it should surely become the worlds first 'Widebody only' airport soon im sure.
Atleast you see widebodies, at my airport (Stavanger,Norway) there are no widebodies literally and no long haul flights, even flights to Frankfurt have stopped. It really sucks
Mabe because they only had the All Blacks on board and had a small load????? Could just be there for maintenance though and went via some island cities like Honolulu on their way???
Looks like it could possibly be a delivery flight. Aircraft looks unbelievably clean, i.e. brand new. Also note the extra pilot on the jump seat clearly visible in the cockpit close up. I'm guessing LAX is a stopover on a delivery flight from Toulouse or Hamburg and the plane is basically empty.
Christ sake people the freaking a350 entered service in 2015...the video was made in 2013. kind of hard to get a freaking aircraft in a video thats not even in service. Quit asking about it.
I am most curious how you got the access to shoot these shots, as many of them seem to be shot from spots where the general public would not be allowed. Do you work for an airline or the airport itself?
Justin Xie actually a ton of MD-80's today are actually be operated mostly by American and Delta Airlines and FedEx still operates a ton of DC-10's and MD-11's
fantastic air tahiti nui landing, just holding off ever so slightly for the second landing. Also, why does the china eastern a346 appear to open the inboard reversers before the outboard reversers? i thought they just grabbed the whole quadrant at the same time. you can see at 9:06
i really enjoy your videos because they are so clear, always steady camera and you film the best of the best. but tell me where do you film this planes is it inside the airport?
New Zealand is almost precisely halfway around the world from Toulouse where the A320s are assembled. So the delivery flight can go East or West, and I'm guessing this one went via the USA, then several Pacific Islands
ANZ paint job was awesome! Why only one 310? It's probably the most beautiful of the wide body line. A340-600 look great! I like you stand on the Boeing and Airbus. They are all great planes, each with its own technology at its best. Awesome video. Thank you!
Tony B A320 neo isn't in service yet(prototype is under construction). jetBlue recently started taking A320s with the new winglets. They've also just started taking on A321s as well so expect to see those in their route network as well.
Yup. Either it was recently delivered to the airline from the Airbus factory or it was an older aircraft in the fleet that was retrofitted with the Sharklets.
A300 - A nice aircraft you see in a cargo version today. A310 - Also a cargo plane with a very small fuselage. A320 - Same thing as a 737 A330 - A long fuselage, with 2 nice engines. A340 - Also a long fuselage with cool engines. A350 - Exact same thing as a 787, very luxurious just like the 787. A380 - A double-decker plane, even though a 747-8 is bigger than it.
A bit more than occasionally to Australia.....they are the backbone of ANZ's trans tasman operations from other cities in NZ besides Auckland......we don't see this particular one here much though. Damian nailed it......its a delivery flight.
Lots of these types of questions appear in these videos when people see a mid-range airliner a good distance away from the nearest hub! Maybe a connecting flight somewhere in a Pacific island, would be our best bet.
I think the A380 got the "8" for two reasons: because it is so much bigger than the others and (most importantly) because 8 is a lucky number in Asia, where they were hoping to sell many of these planes when it was designed. That's also why there is no A380-100, instead they called the base model A380-800 (and they did the same thing with the 350). I'm guessing that the superstitious meaning of the number "8" in Asia is also the reason why Boeing skipped the 5, 6, and 7 on the 747 and went from 400 straight to 8.
Well rather it came from a long way, and was being delivered to it's new home. A shame OJR doesn't wear the All Blacks livery anymore, instead having OAB bear the Black Beauty livery instead.
Flights from Toulouse to Auckland are flown via. Dubai, Thailand and Australia. Sometimes even via. South Korea or Indonesia. So again I ask, WHAT THE HELL IS AN A320 from ANZ doing in LAX?
+XH L An A320 would not have the range to make it from Hawaii to Japan, and it certainly does not have the range to make it from Japan to the Philippines.
