Tokyo (NRT) - Seoul (SEL)
Summer time is flying time.
Winter time is editing time.
I am now starting to work on my oldest footages, starting in 1993, using Hi8 analogue tapes, partly heavily damaged. Quality is partially horrible and editing and scene cutting this material is a true nightmare. Nevertheless it is worth its while taking all the trouble to save these memories for the future.
I was living from 1994-1998 in South Korea and I was frequently shuttling between Seoul and Tokyo on duty. Among these countless flights are also those to be considered historic from the viewpoint of the year 2017. In the 90s however there was nothing special to fly onboard a classic B 747 or a DC-10.
I do not really care about the ratings of my videos. Publishing these historic footages is my mission in the first place.
This inflight video features a flight onboard United Airlines classic DC-10-30 N1857U from Tokyo (NRT) to Seoul (SEL) back in 1996, 21 years ago.
History of United Airlines DC-10-30 N1857U

I remember being a kid in the 70s, my mom would take me to Honolulu airport to watch all the planes take off and land out by the reef runway, DC10s, 747s, L1011s, I loved all of them, what a blast and a memory, thanks mom, RIP 🤙🙏🌴😘
Fly high 🙏🕊
OMG avgeeks paradise 😍💞✈️🛩️
Amazing video real time machine. My dad was a apilot for United from July of 1969 to April 1, 2002. He flew the DC-10 from 1996-1999 then got surplussed back to the 767 and then retired on the 747-400. My family loved the DC-10. As kids my sister and I would love to walk to the gate and see that marvelous three engine bird. We would always take them from Seattle to Hawaii. My mom was a Flight Attendant at United as well and she said the DC-10 was her favorite airplane to work on. Thank you so much for the trip down memory lane. I hadn't heard the old safety video in decades.
My dad also flew the UAL 10 out of ORD. Loved the sound of those engines!
That was a good old day for all UNITED family I too was part of this UAL family :)
Was your pops CA Mumford? If so I remember him I flew for UA out of ORD on the 733.
@@cfl737sim did you fly out of ORD in ‘79 during the unfortunate crash?
Your parents were lucky
They became flight crews at the best time ever
The old DC-10 had a troubled past, but I loved flying on them. Much like the L1011, the DC-10 was so roomy in economy class that you felt like you were in a small movie theater. The aircraft would creak and moan while it was taxiing, but she flew effortlessly and those three engines could put you solidly back in your seat when the power was advanced.
EXACTLY A WEEK BEFORE I WAS BORN! Btw, I've never got a chance to fly on a DC-10. Beautiful piece Treasure that will be missed forever!
Neither did I. I love that sound, though.
I was fortunate to fly on an MD11 when I deployed to and from Afghanistan via Kuwait on World Airways. It was by far my favorite flight and my first transatlantic flight that I'd gladly take again. It's the closest I'd ever get to being on a DC10 since I'm too young to have flown anything older
Well you may have a second chance, cuz I was thinking about starting an aerospace company that will (obviously) produce my type of airplane along with some replicas of old classics
Better than the 737 MAX
Imagine in an alt universe, you took your first plane trip on this airplane on this exact flight as a 1 week old baby
This is such a great and actually historic footage. Nobody ever would get a feel from inside a DC 10.
The quality of the video is very good and stable camera position. Thank you for sharing this here.
Thank you
I remember those days flying i used to love flying back then, i love the old clips from the 80s to the 90s
God how I miss those days of air travel. Wide seats have plenty of leg room, and very good food!🛫💞💞💞 Although The B-747 was a larger Aircraft, there was something special about The DC-10. Maybe it was the sound of hearing the #2 Engine behind me Spooling Up on Takeoff!! That was Beautiful Music!!
That music from the beginning of the UA safety video transported me right back to the 90s. United has such a classy mystique about it back then. Times have changed. And that DC-10-what a magnificent airplane. Miss them dearly.
no fuss/no muss, see how quickly that beast got off the ground? and quiet too, camera is right next to one of those huge engines, and you can hardly hear it. i hate flying now, in these miserable pencils they shove us into. and then not even feed us.
beautiful plane wish they still made those planes
That old 90s UA safety video takes me back lol. I can't even begin to count the number of times I saw the A319, A320, and 757 variants back in the early 2000s
Love the sound of those engines.
GE POWAH 👹👊🏻💥
Ahhh the CF6-50C2.....I know that engine well. Later on the MD-11 switched to PW. I have thousands of hours on the KC10. I miss it.
This is awesome thanks for the upload! I was born 9 months later! The old United Livery was really nice I like it a lot better than the current Continental livery. How come now a days the only airline to fly the DC-10 in the US is Fed Ex? 4:20 LOL "When you see the mask please extinguish your cigarette"
The good old days...................This video was done back when you could still smoke on planes and American air carriers had not quite reached the height of being the shittiest flying option that there was. Oh how this brings back the memories of how good things used to be. Thanks for posting.
I wasn't so sure about your claim to smoke on flights in 1996, but you're correct. Smoking on international flights, and on all domestic flights greater than 6 hours in duration, was finalized in 2000. I remember flying from Florida to Hawaii in 1995, however, partly on a DC-10. I seem to recall smoking was completely prohibited, at least on UA, by 1995.
I was based out of Europe and Asia at the time the non smoking thing was seen as an "American" issue. Now I am sure that by 2000 smoking had gone away on most airlines world wide but how long before that it started I am not sure of. However with that said I have seen flights to places where once an American air carrier lands and is firmly on the ground when you start to notice that some passengers light up.....and I am talking about in the last 2 or 3 years. As the passengers say national laws over ride airline rules so the only thing the carrier can do is to black list these people.
It's interesting to still see ashtrays in lavatories. I understand it's a safety/equipment issue for the passengers that decide to light-up no matter what... you need a safe space to dispose of the butt. Kind of juxtaposed all of the no smoking signs, though.
Jay Duce amen brother amen
21 years before the dragging incident
... They told nothing about turn off all electrical devices and I can smoke on board?!?! Ahh ... What a good time..
11:55 the engine sounds sooo crisp
Doesn't the helicopter sound??? do i feel that way?
My wife and i used to fly this plane from Cleveland to Chicago back into the good old days prior to 9/11. Her brother worked for United and we used buddy passes to fly to Chicago for long weekends, usually first class. Was great fun though a short flight.
They really needed this behemoth for that short flight?! wow...
Fuel was much cheaper then and that route was high density . They still use the 777 on Denver To Chicago route
@@Jeff-sp7bg the good old days…..😕
I don't know why but, more than anything, that little song at the start of the safety video was like a time machine for me.
I flew to Hawaii on a UA DC-10 December of 1995. Looks just like this one. As a kid, it felt very modern (and huge) at the time compared to the 727s I had flown on before.
Wow the people are so real and the airplane is old .. love it
What do you mean by people are so real?
I loved seeing them when I lived in Seattle. The United DC-10... My mom would fly them from Seattle to Denver and back for business. Really beautiful aircraft!
What a sight...NO winglets, wing flex..JUST a solid straight wing!!! Love old aviation.
Micah Lall-Trail winglets cause less drag and help the fuel efficiency.
I’ve been feeling the same. Winglets just keep getting more and more silly and i just wish there were none at all. Some of them are kind of neat. But it pisses me off that they took the beautiful 737 NG with blended winglets that look alright and then glued an aftermarket janky-ass fin to the bottom and call it a “split scimitar” and it looks awful. So you’re telling me that spending $1,000,000 per plane that is halfway through its life to glue a tiny fin to the bottom of the wing is going to save enough fuel to break even and profit... okay then...
RumikoOne - Perhaps you are too young to remember, almost 30 years ago MD11 already had that down fin feature on the winglet
The inspiration for winglets came from how birds curved their wings while flying, which helped in conserving energy.
@@rawasianchicago And the 747-400
I wish I was born in the 80s to see all this classic aviation
What a hearty meal for for a two-hour flight in ECONOMY class @16:40! Many of today's domestic business and first meals are not even close to being that good.
things are changed such as the route (UA route between seoul and NRT does not exist anymore), but one thing remains the same (nothing could be better than sushi and soba in the sky )
Before United began breaking guitars, dragging passengers, and killing puppies.
Friendly skies Leon.
My mom used to work for United Airlines around that time not on the plane but she used to work for them
Pretty decent quality for 1996
Thank you
Look how beautiful and smooth this plane flies. DC-10.
that awsome growl at full power
I wish I was born early enough to experience this time and this flying. (I was born in 2002). Not saying I was born in the "wrong" generation, but everything today feels fake and people-pleasing.
Flying back in the 80s and 90s was something so magical. If I could turn back time for a day just to experience it all over again.
You said a mouthful Wayne!
Trust me, you were born in the wrong generation.
Awesome video! Loved flying this aircraft and it really takes me back in time. Thanks for the post!!
Magnificent beast isn't it. I would love to live in one.
I would live in an L-1011, and convert the S duct on top into a water slide that went into a pool, lol
The DC-10 is my favorite aircraft because it roars like a tiger.
Got to be one of my favorite planes that I never got to fly on. Fantastic video! :)
same here
Same story here. I’d shell out some hefty coinage to fly on one too.
Вижу нашу тушку в Сеуле, даже ещё в советской ливрее! Летал на таком самолёте, это ТУ154Б2.
Omg would you look at that!!! No one is fighting, No internet, no tv's, everyone is relaxed, reading a paper or magazine just enjoying the experience.
Great video! I have never liked the DC-10’s however it is still a cool video to watch.
I was lucky to fly on this ausome mean machine in 95 . Out of KC Airport. , my favorite plane commercial aircraft , loud engines and a great airplane all around
Something about the old school united airline look so much better
This is av geek gold!
Back when flying was actually enjoyable. Unlike today where the self entitled feel the need to create drama and havoc almost daily.
Flying today is a lot safer then back in the stone ages. Back in the day, security wasn't as tight as today and the cockpit doors was unlocked which means you were more likely to end up in a hijacked plane.
And planes back then were flying coffins.
I'm So In Love with this video
11:56 Insane…
The DC-10 will go down in history as one of the best jetliners to ever fly! It may no longer fly commercially but it was a revolutionary jet that changed long-haul travel to a certain extent forever and ever!
And it was responsible for the worst air crash in US history
@@Cninnamon_roll You mean AA191
I have flown in the DC 10. I miss it so much. Quite different from the 737, A320 experience.
you cant compare them
Imagine sitting there... looking out the window like this, and watching that engine go flying up and over the wing, moments before you died leaving Chicago in 1979.
I was thinking the same thing. 20 seconds in the air after liftoff before starting to roll over. 10 more seconds till you hit ground. Engine falling off right at liftoff.
Grief paranoid porn much?
That is why I'm thankful for videos like these;: someone else took the risk and lived to tell about it. You couldn't have paid me enough to fly in a DC-10. I want to arrive, alive.
@@jocelynharris-fx8ho The fuck are you on? You're saying that as if every DC-10 built crashed on a daily basis. Most of them are legitimately human error. In the 2000s when the DC-10 was still serving commercially, it was very safe to fly on it.
Planes in general from the 50s to 90s were flying coffins. I wouldn't want to fly at all if I was in my 30s in the 1950s to 1990s.
Thank you sooo much for putting this wonderful Video on UA-cam 🙏💺✈️🛩
That was a time,a few years later,I flew with that Aircraft,in the past with Northwest Airlines, for the first time to the US from Europe Amsterdam to Seattle.
Funny,that Video was made on my 15th Birthday 🙃🤷♂️,so now you can see,I'm 41. The good old times,when I flew it was a few day before the Atracks of 9/11/01.
Unfortunatly since that time,Flying has changed radicslly extremly,and even the World unfortunatly.
But anyway thank you so much!!!
Beloved Greetings from Europe German Swiss Border 🇪🇺🇩🇪🇨🇭

Thank you Josha
6:50 400hz whine.....
Там даже Ту-154 есть 😅
Loved flying the DC-10 first class, she always sat a bit nose high during cruise!!! Great aircraft, My father flew them for Northwest for many years before moving to the 747-400.
Today all the DC10 planes are now gone completely because the last ever flying for the dc10 was in 2014 with Bangladesh airlines and that was the first time I’ve seen that aircraft
THE SIGHL & SOUND : United Airnes Dc 10 N1857U Doccumentary from Toyyo to Seoul
please bring back those cushion seats.. the leather seats installed in most airlines nowadays are less comfortable
How much was that camera in the 90s? It's taking better video than some of the new videos on UA-cam.
Ah the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 🥹🤧💞🛩️ i wish I could fly in one 😔 too bad they retired all passengers version
Jackson Amy Brown Ruth Davis Nancy
The DC10 was quieter than the L1011. I use to fly frequently on United, American and Delta, and something I noticed during the flights.
20:32 what is that background Sound? I only hear that sound in DC10’s
When you see the mask, please extinguish your cigarette? Where there still smoking flights in '96?
International flights only - all US airlines went smokeless in 1997 I believe.
I remember the Northbound Lady DC 10 very well ✈️ Hearing the power of 3 P+W engines...nice times...
Great video man.
Man if only we’d get that same quality food in economy today!
My parents fourth wedding anniversary :)
Nice video, too bad it was recorded with IPhone 13 cuz the quality is horrible 😁.
Planes today are not that iconic compared to planes then. Love the engine sound of the dc 10.
WOW eine solch wunderschöne und elegante Maschine O_O Ich liebe diese dreitstrahlflugzeuge einfach O_O Hast du zufällig auch etwas von einer L1011 ?
@@sightsandsoundsofaviation woow ....das muss eine tolle Ära gewesen sein *träum* :)
Both the battleship DC-10 and that Northwest 747 are so fucking gorgeous. What happened to striking liveries?
They died unfortunately. They were so gorgeous and “airline-y” back then. :(
They died and will never come back now it’s just plain white because yes
Big ol’ red Northwest 747 there @3:10-30
Sad ending for this DC-10 😢
Bin ich schon geflogen Condor 1985 nach Dakar von Frankfurt 😊😊😊
11:55-Takeoff
38:57-Landing
C'est bien dc10
Maintenant Airbus bof bof
Like How many airlines have operatied this route on 1990s? I already see United, Korean Air, Japan Airlines, Japan Air System, Delta, All Nippon Airways, and Asiana airlines. WoW
Northwest, and possibly only the 2000s, MIAT Mongolia. Today there are tons still such as JAL, ANA, Korean, Asiana, Jeju, Peach, T'Way, Eastar, Ethiopian.
I noticed when announcements are made, at 6:51 and on 40:57 I can hear the high pitched humming sound and often hear it on airplanes either through loud speaker or head sets. That humming sound, What is that and why is that sound is made? If by any chance you know what it is Please let me know and Thank You.
All Righty Thank You, It could be from Avionics, Cockpit or some machine in the plane that causes that sound.. I've heard it many many times before and always wondered what it was. Just finding it interesting.
John Bernardini cooling fans I think. Or some electronics putting out stray signals
Thank You Energetic Waves :-)
there is a certain hum you sometimes get based on the frequency of the voltage being used. I was always curious about that too so i asked some airline mechanics. nothing to worry about i can tell you that. electric motors put out radio waves, all i can tell you.
when i go out and rent a plane to just fly around it, i will hear noise on the nav com when i put down flaps for example.
Passengers were jerks back then especially those from Chicago.
Really? How come? 😂
This is still the best UA livery
Why did United Airlines fly from Japan to Korea?
5th freedom flight
haters call this the deathcraft but the truth is the DC-10 was simply the first, true workhorse of civil aviation back in the day, because the 747s were reserved only for the long routes with the big airports and the 727s and DC9s were usually domestic. The L1011 was far less common in number, so the DC10 was the one that made aviation across the world accessible to more than just the rich people hobby that flying used to be in the 50s and 60s with planes like the Super Constellation or even the early DC8s. And so when you suddenly change from narrow body to wide body and start transporting a lot more people, when something bad happens, a lot of people perish at once, and that I suppose was what earned these planes a bad name in the early years but by the 80s and 90s they had become safe.
i was on all three aircraft- DC10s, 747s, and L1011s. The 747 was the BIGGEST, but all three were nice to be aboard. Me and my family did live in Honolulu, but when we firsr went there we were on a Douglas DC-6B. Imagine being aboard a piston powered propeller driven plane in the midst of all the jets.
I flew this exact aircraft registration number on UA in 1995 from ORD to SEA.
aircraft back then just
looked so cool
this was in 1996, i’m sure before 2001 u can enter the cockpit w/out a door
My father was a pilot for United and flew the inaugural flight from Chigago to Hawaii on the DC-10. He loved flying that plane! Awesome!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Love United, but was never a fan of this livery. The new revised CO isn't much better, so please bring back the tulip!
This was a fifth freedom flight?
3:08 Safety Video
Do you know when some U.S. airlines used to fly to Seoul-Kimpo back then and it was right before they flew to Seoul-Incheon back in the spring of 2001.
Sorry, but the DC-10 was one of the ugliest airliners ever produced. The rear engine looked clumsily attached, and the vertical stabilizer appeared disproportionately too small for such a large aircraft.
The L-1011 was a _much_ better designed, _much_ better looking aircraft than the DC-10.
No, the vertical stabilizer is not proportionally small. The second engine is part of the vertical stabilizer. Together, it’s large. Not just the top part.
Bullshit
Bullshit
The Golden Years from a certain pov ,
You could say this Millennium has Started out Pretty Dull 🤷♂️
I might be wrong we took two from WORLD is it N1858U was other DC10?
it always makes me nervous when we taxi out with no flaps. Most airlines nowadays set flaps before taxi begins . At least mine does.
Oh man, I was just a few days old boy when this was filmed. Nice
i loved the dc10 such different to the md11 that i few such a sound of nan aircraft
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
LOVE the clanging toilet lid!!!!
I was in ohare 1 month later bound to montreal from Monterrey
My grandparents flew on a Boeing 727 once, My parents flew on a MD11 of Finnair, I will never Fly on a Trijet as I have never left North America, however I have flown on US Airways and Continental (1 month before certificates merged.), next year is a sad year for us in Canada, 20 years since SWR111.
What an extraordinarliy meaningless comment.
16:19 The airfones on Flight 93 would have looked exactly the same as that
