  • A Stormy Approach into Las Vegas on a Frontier Airlines A320. My flight from Atlanta to Las Vegas as seen from seat 19A on a Frontier Airlines A320. The flight features a clear takeoff, a holding pattern over the Grand Canyon, and a stormy landing.

    This video is great! I was actually the FO/PF this leg from ATL to LAS. I came home one night and was sitting with my son and he asked me to show him Daddy’s airplane, I just searched Frontier A-320 and this popped up! Then I saw the great detail in the video then heard my voice on the PA while watching, looked up the tail number and looked at my logbook and there it was! Thanks for the awesome memory and thanks for the nice comments on the flight and landing!

      That is double-dipped in Awesome Sauce! What are the odds? We should probably both go buy a lottery ticket. Tail #N371FR, Daisy, & Parrish the Burrowing Owls. My return flight back to ATL on that trip was on the next aircraft in sequence, #N372FR, Watson the Key Deer. Tell all of your colleagues to beware, there is a good chance The Plane Window guy is sitting back there with his camera just behind the port wing, especially on flights connected to ATL. Thanks for checking in, and especially thanks for the greased lightning landing in actual lightning. Here is a short I made of your landing:

My last trip to Las Vegas was on Southwest Airlines out of ATL and it was pretty much get on the plane, taxi, take off then land in Vegas. Very little turbulence for the middle of June that year. But it was hotter than 4 Hells when we got there though, 115 degrees ! "Oh, but it's a dry heat" Yeah, right! Keep up the good vids.👍

    Worst flight I've ever had was from Las Vegas to New York. 1.5 hours of turbulence, the cabin crew were instructed to stop serving dinner, take their seats and ride it out.
    A gent 6 rows in front of me had not fastened his belt, he shot so far out of his seat he was 6" from hitting the overhead bins.
    Eventually a cabin crew member came down and told him to buckle up, but he was resistant to it. Buckled in the end.
    I sat holding a plastic tumbler 3/4 full of water that I couldn't get near my mouth 😂, I should have drunk it before it got rough!
    Happy days!
