Thanks so much for the upload, Appreciate the full flight! It really gives you a sense of just how much the country below you changes! I believe N837AW was the old Arizona Cardinals livery when it operated for US Airways!
I believe you're correct. I think I remember seeing that this was the old Arizona Cardinals A319 when I originally looked it up. Pretty cool! I've now flown on quite a few aircraft that used to wear special liveries that were now just in the normal colors. Without going back and looking for every instance, I know for sure I've flown on the 777 that used to wear Continental's famous Peter Max colors.
That's awesome! Its kind of neat to look up the Reg of the aircraft that you fly on to see its history of former colors and Operators. Shows the lifespan of these aircraft in a different way other than just looking at its age in numbers! Always get a kick out of it. @@sla31
2:36:55 you can hear the PF disconnecting the autopilot on the short final. This is the second video I’ve ever noticed this in. First was an Airbus landing on 27 at SAN.
I'd put money this pilot has been living in Phx for sometime. I don't know but I like when pilots give you a "tour" on approach and man that landing was butter. I think ots funny how people get so talkative right before landing. No one talks the whole flights but right before landing everyone becomes best friends 😂. Great video as always!
It's a rare thing these days. I remember when this was commonplace. Now.... A lot of the time you're lucky to hear from the cockpit more than twice. I get some flights in the morning, they're being polite and not wanting to wake people up with tons of announcements, but I really enjoy hearing from the pilots about our route and what we'll see and fly over. Maybe I'm just too old school haha.
WOWOWOWW!! Good views!! Good job on the part of your captain for skillfully dodging that humungous thunderhead. Amazing to watch how dramatically the landscape changes from green mid-American farmland to the desert SW in on;y 2 and a half hours. Back in late December1998, the ticketing agents of TWA at STL did an impromptu strike, leaving the manager having to take care of the .long snakey line. I was lucky in that I was the first person in line so I was helped first. The manager put me up at the Henry the VIII Hotel for the night and rebooked me to SEA with a connection in LAS. She put me in first class and this was the one and only time I ever flew on 1st class in my entire life. I used the time in STL to take the metro train to the downtown to see the sights and to kill the time. Well, anyhow, we went over southern KS, along the CO/NM border and then flew over the Grand Canyon on the way to LAS.. Yes, I did indeed take photos of it! It was amazing to see the huge change in scenery from STL to LAS. Anyhow, time for me to rest up from the jet lag from watching this video. This is on top of swimming for 40 minutes in the Sound yesterday, so, I'm giving my body the day off today. I think I'll watch the first Spider-Verse movie, the one that came out in 2018 with several different kinds of animation. So... another fine video on your part.
Well, that's quite the story my friend. I remember the STL TWA days. I was pretty young at the time, but my mother's side of the family comes from St. Louis, so I'm there quite often. I remember going to STL before 9/11 and we'd go straight to the gate and wait for our relatives to get off. Always inbound on TWA! Anyway, the rest of your plan for today all sounds like an excellent plan to me my friend.
@@sla31 Also, while at STL waiting for my flight, the gate agent said that our flight was delayed and didn't know how long. Then, when we were all on board, the gate agent kept holding up the plane to kick people off and let more people on and it went on and on. I could see that the flight crew was losing their patience and so was I. I finally said to one of the flight attendants "Please tell that male ego of a gate agent to quit holding up this plane" And she agreed with me. Because we left so late, I barely had enough time in LAS to make my connecting flight to SEA. This was my very first visit to Las Vegas and it acted as a preview for my true first visit in early February 1999. That was my 40th Birthday getaway trip and on the actual day of my B-Day, I was at the south rim of the Grand Canyon ooh - ing and ahh - ing at the amazing scenery.
What a brilliant flight together with cap announcements. Luved the views, thanks a ton again mate! Also mate, at time index 2:39 I noticed slightly choppy frame rates. You have to keep your eyes on the tarmac to notice. Not a big deal, your recordings are outstanding.
Thanks my friend. I wish there were more captions like this. I know some people don't care, but I love getting a little extra information from the flight deck. And hmmm... I'm not sure what happened at 2:39. I don't go back and re-watch every flight to look for rendering errors. I don't have enough time to do that haha, so I spot check them. Might've been a rendering error, or even an import error when I imported the file into the editing software. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now haha. Thanks for watching man!
This was the flight right before the shoutout I got with your other flight that same day from Phoenix to Los Angeles on the American A321 neo! Hope that one comes out soon too! Loved all the great view of the mountains on this flight as we are getting closer to Phoenix!
Yup, you are correct my friend. That was pretty cool. I almost posted that flight yesterday instead of this one, but I try to post longer videos on Saturdays. So I opted for this one instead.
@@sla31 Well, this flight defently made a great Saturday apperance because it was much longer than that short flight from Phoenix to Los Angeles and I say that is most likely going to be a regular weekday upload on the channel because those are flights usually within 2 hours and they get posted much later than only on the weekend when the uploads get posted much earlier, but loved this one of the great views and I am hoping that the one that I am so looking forward to also gets posted very soon! You are just moving this channel forward with the coolest flights ever!
You know... Now that you mention that, I'm trying to think back and I know for sure I've seen them somewhere else, but I can't remember where. Maybe it was at PHX and I'm just remembering that. Hmmm. I'll have to think on it and see if I can remember. Either way, you're right. That's not something you see everyday!
The area around Phoenix does have a very unique and beautiful landscape regardless of which way you're approaching from. Thanks for watching my friend!
I'm glad you enjoyed it my friend. I know the full flight versions of my uploads can be too long for most people. I get that not everyone wants to watch the entire flight like some of us do. That's why I try to give easy timestamps/chapters to make is easy for people to skip to the part they want to see. Thanks for watching!
Yes, I've had multiple American flights canceled on me over the years. When you fly as much as I do, it's bound to happen. It's how the airlines handle the situations is what counts. American has always been pretty good at handling cancelations.
My favorite plane is the Airbus A340-600. Airlines... I try not to have favorites, because it would get boring if I flew the same airline over and over again. Right now though, in the US, I like United best out of the legacies, Alaska out of the smaller multi class airlines, and Southwest is my favorite single class airline.
No, I have yet to be on a flight where someone went into labor. However, I have been in various other emergency landings. Medical emergencies, unfortunately one were the person passed away, and mechanical emergencies including a smoke in the cockpit and cabin.
Geeeez could the captain be any more ambitious (🥱flight yaaaaawn attendants prepare for take off) lol I mean really he sounded like he didn't want to fly that day.smh anyway thank you for another great video, next month I'll be flying home to Colorado to visit good ol mom and dad and other relatives.
Love that IAE buzz, and the baby bus! Happy Saturday sir!
Same to you my friend! Thanks for watching!
2:36:56 you can hear the AP Disconnect!
Yeah hah. Havent heard that from the cabin before.
love this. really gives me that feeling of being on a plane, just watching the world go by from above
The captain is is very knowledgeable about the Rockies
I love the closing shot with the old American livery and the 767. Such a cool picture!
Hard to believe that photo its like 10 years old now.
Hey Skylite! Thanks for your uploads, it’s pretty cool the scenery and stuff. Have a great day!
Nice awesome views of the canyons.

My pleasure my friend! Thanks for watching!
@@sla31 You are welcome.
Nice video!
Thanks my friend!
Excellent footage Skylite👌. Once again liked and enjoyed .
Thanks my friend. I can always count on you!
it's absolutely amazing to see how ferocious and how huge those thunderstorms are from up there

@sla31 flying isn't special anymore. It's no different then getting on a subway for most these days.

Nice Vídeo Nice 😊❤
Thanks my friend! I can always count on you!
I miss Phoenix
Ah yes, I love it when you come to my home airport!
I always love the approach into PHX, sadly almost every time my flight is a nighttime one and I never really get to see the mountains and whatnot.
The area around Phoenix does have a very unique and beautiful landscape regardless of which way you're approaching from. Thanks for watching my friend!
Honestly I do prefer night flight because people are quieter and I can enjoy the engine sound better 😁
2:36:54 Is it just me or you can hear the autopilot disconnect sound??
You can indeed hear the autopilot disconnect.
Excelente vídeo, muito interessante, mesmo... apesar de um pouco longo. Gostei muitíssimo. Parabéns !!!

Great fly! Have you ever flown with Air Canada?
I have not, no. I've actually done very little flying in Canada and I've never flown on any Canadian carriers. I hope to change that next year!
On the takeoff and climb it appears that there's a thunderstorm in the near distance based on the cloud types.
Is that why it’s dark?
Yes there was. We definitely had to do some deviating around developing thunderstorms on departure.
Great Fly! What do you prefer, The CFM 56 or the IAE v2500? For me it’s definitely CFM 👍🏻
I prefer the IAE V2500 😁.
Might be the first person ever to prefer CFM’s over IAE’s. 😂
@@aviatortrav The reason why prefer CFMs over IAEs is because it isn’t that loud for my ears to pop and it sound unique
I really wannna be on an a319-18, they sound very powerful
The A321 sound more powerful than the A319
@@GarlandTexasSpotter2024 true I guess they go toga most of the time
It depends on the engine. IAE engines are more powerful than CFM engines.
Has any of your American Airlines flights ever got canceled? (Also first)
Yes, I've had multiple American flights canceled on me over the years. When you fly as much as I do, it's bound to happen. It's how the airlines handle the situations is what counts. American has always been pretty good at handling cancelations.
Hey skylite I try to at least watch every video of yours so what’s your favorite airline and plane you’ve flown on?
My favorite plane is the Airbus A340-600. Airlines... I try not to have favorites, because it would get boring if I flew the same airline over and over again. Right now though, in the US, I like United best out of the legacies, Alaska out of the smaller multi class airlines, and Southwest is my favorite single class airline.
Hey
Thx 4 nice video
But plz mission the

And landing city

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

2:36:57 the A/P disconnect 👀
I always wondered on how much fuel is burned when just taxi-ing.
Skylite have you ever had an emergency landing with like someone going into labor
No, I have yet to be on a flight where someone went into labor. However, I have been in various other emergency landings. Medical emergencies, unfortunately one were the person passed away, and mechanical emergencies including a smoke in the cockpit and cabin.

Lol seemed like the entire flight crew was a little moody from beginning to end lol or was it just me?
I honestly don't remember haha. Unless the crew specifically talks to me, I'm usually just doing my thing to record the flight haha.
