Inside LAX with Airport Operation + New Control Tower Visit
Вставка

- I spent a day behind the operation scenes at one of my favorite airports; LAX - Los Angeles International.
I follow Jon, an airport operation superintendent on the runway inspection, we drove on the longest runway at LAX among busy airfield traffic. Jon showed me what airport operations do to maintain airfield safety. We picked up some FOD (foreign objects and debris), escorted a Korean Air B747-8 (Group 6 aircraft), did ground inspection, and visited several airfield construction sites.
Then, I visited the new LAX Traffic Ramp tower at Bradley Terminal West. The new tower was opened last year and operated by LA Airport Operation. The ramp tower controls 2 taxiways to the East and 2 taxiways to the West of the new Bradley West terminal due to reduced visibility from the ATC tower. Enjoy some great traffic and plane spotting from the new tower location. The International traffic is bouncing back. I spotted some new airlines such as ITA Airways A350, Zip Air B787, Korean Air B747-8, SAS A350 and many others.
Finally, I visited LAX Airport Response Coordination Center (ARCC) where all the departments such as Airport Ops, Fire department,

There seems to be a scam running around using my name in the comments on this video. There is no prize and do not give any personal information or reply to this scammer. I have reported to UA-cam already.
Thanks for the announcement Sam.

I am very sorry to hear that! I will not share with that scammer at all! But I don't get what "There is no prize" means here.

Seeing the complexities behind the scenes at LAX astonished me. Great job. I knew LAX was a complex environment but you revealed so much more. I loved the final time lapse work by a true artist.

Thank you. LAX is a city of its own. There are so much interesting stuff happening behind the scenes everyday.

Can we just appreciate the quality of this man’s videos 😩
Ofc😍

He just reuploads the same thing every year...
LAX is magnified through your lenses Sam ! Thank you so much
Fun fact about Tetiaroa: It's an atoll that was leased to the late Marlon Brando for 99 years (Hong Kong moment) who fell in love with it while shooting Mutiny on the Bounty. He built a small village there that eventually became a hotel managed with his third wife Tarita Teriipaia (his on-screen love in the movie). After his death in 2004, the atoll was closed tourism until an effort was made to reopen the atoll as The Brando Resort in his honor. The resort opened in 2014 and in 2016 it was named the world's best resort by Conde Nast
It takes skill to be able to keep track of so many movements of so many planes every day and control stress. But ATC is just one part of an airport. All these other people also play a role in keeping an airport functioning. Teamwork really does make the dream work. It's no wonder LAX is able to handle so many. Kudos to Jon, he's such an awesome guy taking care of the runways while at the same time making sure the wildlife are also safe. And I agree, gotta love seeing a 747-8 in action. Even when they retire, the 747 remains the Queen of the Skies in our hearts.
It’s hard to express how grateful I am for your videos Sam. Keep it up!
Agreed
Thank you Ryan. I really appreciate your comment.
Love your vids
This video brings back a lot of great memories for me, from my years of working the ramp in the mid 80's into the mid 90's, at the Ontario International Airport (ONT) approximately 50 miles east of LAX, Working for a contract service company called Ontario Aircraft Service/OAS, having many great opportunities while working there working with UPS, Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Braniff Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines to dealing with horse charters with Kalitta's "Connie One" 727 that would carry race horses from Ontario to Louisville, Kentucky for the Kentucky derby to dealing with military charters with Tower Air with their 747's and World Airways with their DC-10's sending Marines to and from the middle east in the first gulf war to dealing with Air Force One when it would fly into Ontario and having the great opportunity of going up into the Ontario Tower during a few down times in between working Alaska Airlines flights to visit the Tower and spend time enjoying watching the amazing air traffic controllers handling flights in and out of Ontario to having the opportunity to ride with Airport Operations with a person who had previously worked for Ontario Aircraft Service, who one day, drove up next to me on the ramp and said "Do you want to go on a runway inspection?" I immediately said YES as I was getting into the car, it was amazing and then afterwards he showed me things about the airport that I had not known before, showing me old taxiways that had what looked like cul-de-sacs at the ends of them where B-29 bombers would park when the airport was a military base during world war two.
That was Awesome Sam, I am glad that you have such a great friend in LAX Operations who enjoys escorting you around and showing you things and places that only people who work there usually get to see👍🙂
Have you ever hear of punctuation. That was painful to read.
@@geftiler2112 it's heard, not hear! STFU and let the man have his memories!!
That 787-8i landing was absolutely perfect- butter smooth. 747 pilots are such a skilled bunch.
Thank you very much for introducing such a fancy LAX operational status with a beautiful 747-8I from Korean Air including Asiana Airlines A350-900!
That Timelapse footage was absolutely incredible showing how busy LAX gets and the variety of different aircraft and airlines from all over the world
Love your interview with the flight turnaround and ground teams, with the chaos, noise n engine heat around them. Gives a real feel of the working environment. Nice
Awesome video, Sam! Most travelers do not realize all of effort that goes in to make flying easier and safe. Your video takes us behind the scenes to show us details of operations I had not thought of before. Sam, over the years you have unbelievable access to aircrafts and airports which most of us can only dream of - lucky you!! Thanks again for this video. Hope to see more such videos!!
Thank you Sam for bringing this amazing experience to the palms of my hands.
Absolutely beautiful video. I grew up at LAX in the early eighties while in flight school and throwing bags onto a USAir 727 and working for Lufthansa as a ticket agent. Lots of great memories and good times. Met my wife there. Thanks Sam.
Amazing behind the scenes video, Sam! This will make people appreciate all the great work each individual at the airport provides. We all should be kind and understanding while these men and women work hard to ensure we have a smooth and safe travels. Thanks for all the footages, they are truly amazing. Love my home airport!
Absolutely, Sam, this is one of your best aviation videos! Love the jets, love the variety, and your Ops host is a natural filmmaker! Please send us more like this from major airports around the world. Panda 1 rocks!
Thank you Sam! This was amazing. What an adventure to see different airports and ATC’s. 🛫
Awesome Video...Been doing Airport Ops for 13 years and still like to see videos like this....GREAT JOB
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Fantastic!!!!!!
Well done job Sam.
You always raise the bar higher.
💙💙💙💙
Those take -offs and landings never ceases to amaze me😎
I had the chance to tour the PDX Tower / TRACON two weeks ago. The TRACON was steeped in safety protocol and professionalism. The controllers were very professional and highly motivated. We weren’t allowed pictures but we did get to take photos from the catwalk up top. It was fantastic.
Great video installment about LAX
Ok, this is the greatest plane video ever!!! This is the side we don’t see. Gorgeous 747-8 and 787-9. I want to be on ops now!! Meanwhile, 747-8 is the best looking plane in existence! The Queen!
The 787 and the A380 are special and unique planes in their own right and I've flown both - theres no way around it, they are more comfortable and nicer than the 747.
But seeing and hearing the 747 roar past on take-off, there truly is no other plane like her!!
Thanks for sharing the video Sam. I too work for airport ops in NYC . We often have difficulties explaining what we do to other people . From escorts to wildlife ,this video describes it to a tee .
This is outstanding, Sam. What a terrific expose on LAX. Very Nicely done!
Complex place but brilliantly run by great passionate staff.Good Video!
I could watch this HD-footage of widebodies landing and taking off all day. Great work, Sam!
I am definitely in the right channel. Since I was a kid, I loved to fly (window seats obviously), plane spoting and Flight sim hours (even as an ATC). I am a mechanical engineer and now that I'm 52 y/o, still love it as back then. Sam shows that is not all about first class traveling... is about planes, airports, operations, ATCs, and a whole universe behind a flight ticket.
Good Job of showing us around LAX !! Thank you, Sam.
This is one of your best videos to date Sam! As a person who works Airport Operations at another airport, I always love seeing how other airports handle the challenges that each day brings. Kudos to the LAX team for helping to make this video possible!
On which airport do you work?
Really enjoyed this one Sam - makes you realise all that’s needed behind the scenes to keep a great airport running.
Sam congratulations and Jon for the privilege of watching so close the operation at LAX good job.
I really like what Sam is doing to show people how Airport's Operations work and the different Air Planes from so many different countries. Its very good they are finally putting in a Sub-Train for LAX.
This is fantastic Sam! You just showed an important aspect in airport operations that a number of people are not aware of! 💯
Never seen this channel before and the quality of your content is fantastic, better than any TV show. Keep it up Sam and team, well done.
Loved that post regarding you Mom…glad she is on the road to recovery ❤️🩹
INCREDIBLE video showing my home airport...thanks Panda One!!!
Sam, this is incredible. This video is much better than reviewing first or business class. The Queen of the skies is in my fave. I have flown on many airplanes you can only imagine. The biplane, when I was two, standing on my mom's shoulders and screaming all flight long.
I used to work at Newark Airport as a lead ramp agent (international) about 20 years ago.
This video takes me back! SAM YOU ARE THE BEST TO EVER DO IT FOR US AIRPLANE GEEKS! #team747
Amazing video! Thanks for the beautiful work. Enjoyed this to the Max.
I'm not even done watching this yet, but I had to pause and tell you how amazingly cool this is! What an experience for you! Thank you for sharing this!
awesome video Sam made my entire weekend so lovely seeing all the beautiful airplanes dreamliner and Airbus A380 are amazing also the A350 ,wonderful to see 747
You never get bored watching Sam's videos because of the different varieties of videos he brings up. Kudos Sam
What a great guy to show you around.
Absolutely love this video, Thanks Sam!!
One of your best and most interesting videos Sam. It must have been a blast to do. Great camera work by you and Chris's time lapse is superb!
That’s me @2:55 🤣 happy to meet you @Samchui
Awesome to see all the different airlines that pass through LAX, some of the best take off and landing shots to date!
Its so cool to see LAX from a whole new perspective. As LAX is my local airport, I go there all the time to planespott but ive never seen any of these amazing places. Great video Sam and keep up the amazing work!
Awesome footage. When Sam said "If you catch one you miss another" I got chills. Would love to just spend the day at a major airport like this.
See it all the time when I watch Airline Videos Live. A380 will be landing so we miss the 747 taking off. Emirates has ALOT of special paint schemes
Sam, I have said this before, and I'll say it again. You're the man. You go places mere mortals cannot access. There are some great planespotters at LAX, and the one thing missing is a location on the airport for spotting. They either have to go to Clutters Park on the South, and several places along Lincoln Blvd on the West. Keep up your excellent content and adventures.

Thank you. I appreciate your input.
The Best !!! Awesome video, Sam! I love LAX Airport.
Another amazing video! Tks Sam!
Great job Sam! LAX is my favorite airport, loved the video especially the time lapse.
Save for the chaos around the clock at the horseshoe.
Love your experience on this video today. In my opinion, LAX is one of the best airports in the world. Because of its all different types of aircraft they have. Your tour has made me a more detailed way of looking at LAX. It's open to a lot of different aircraft
12:20 Your Callsign
Hope you had a great time at LAX.
Waiting for your next video!
LAX has all the heavies. The breathe of their assortment is astonishing for which only a few airports can match.
Exceptionally well done! A tiny taste of what it takes to run what is essentially a small city. Love the wake vortices captured from departing aircraft. The variety of airlines and 'heavy' aircraft you shot is superb--a veritable smorgasbord for aviation buffs and enthusiasts!
I love aviation when i was kid until now. Tq sam for every video about aircraft. I love it.
Thank you very much for capturing taxing of Asiana Airlines aircraft in LAX. I am so glad to watch this video as a crew of Asiana Airlines. 🙏
Thank you. Hope I get to fly on Asiana A380 next time out of LAX!
I’ve flown out of LAX numerous times and I never had any idea it was such a complex airport. It’s a miniature city ! Also love the call sign Panda-1 !
Excellent video Sam! Thanks 🙏
Your most enjoyable video ever, Sam! Thank you.
Wow SAM I gotta say - best video you ever made! LAX is so personal to me too. I've been flying here with my dad from Munich so many times as a child and teenager until I finally moved out here for my flying career and it makes LAX just such a special place for me. You really captured it very niceley with great insights and amazing footage. Really loved the shot of the -8 and the A340-600 (LH452/453) that I've flown on so many times. Thank you, thank you and again THANK YOU! Kai (We met at Catalina before)
Hi Kai, nice to hear from you. Its awesome to see DLH only sends 4 engines planes to LAX :)
I love your videos Sam. I would watch full documentaries about the Aviation industry if you chose to make any. You got rare footage and info that brings us up-close to the aircrafts and airports that's hard to find anywhere. Thanks for your work Sam. You are appreciated. Best YT aviation channel, hands down.
P.S. I do hope you consider a documentary. Lol.
Amazing Sam! Thanks for this video. It was definitely one of my favorites
What an incredible experience, thanks Sam for sharing.
Sam I love your behind the scenes videos, always a pleasure to watch and made with such high quality. Excellent work! Hopefully you can another behind the scenes with my home airport KMIA!
So good to see LAX busy again. Looking forward to getting over there next month!
This is an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING video! So grateful for all your effort and everything you do. "Thank you so very much." I love LAX too!
By far your best video yet! Keep them coming.
Excellent video
Awesome video. Very interesting how LAX mange their airport, very complex. Thanks Sam, take it easy.
What a beautiful video. I'm speechless. Thanks for sharing.
Really Enjoyed this video.
In my opinion one of your best videos ever👍👍👍
Fantastic job Sam!
Really loved seeing all that traffic coming back. Miss filming in LAX :D
Don't know when you are coming back to LAX. Airline Live Videos streams, I think, about 3 days a week. Sunday's stream is about 13 to 14 hours starting at 7 am LA time. (It is not my channel and I am not a member!!) One Love
It makes you forget the nightmare that is getting in and out of LAX! Well done!
Thank you for this vdo, Sam!! You make my wish come true, run down the runway of LAX & see all operations of LAX & see all planes landed & take off. Very appreciated this vdo a lot. Keep up the great work!!!!
Fantastic video Sam! Thanks so much for making and sharing 😁👍
Congratulations Sam you got my bucket list wish marked to what's it really like to run down the lax runway while planes fly In-N-Out at lax. I also learned something new with that little door on the engine
Just started watching this and I must say the opening of this was amazing! 🔥
Yep, agree! Very exciting intro!
Dude the closing time-lapse was jaw dropping.
@@MELL09494 Just saw it! Blew me away!
Wonderful video Sam! LAX is always in my heart ❤️
This is very cool and awesome. Thank you Sam🔥🔥. That time-lapse at the end made me emotional.
Panda one is just a fantastic ambassador of the aviation world. Thank you for all the exciting videos. 👌
Hahaha Panda 01 is the call sign of Samy Samy?
Sam great vlog as always
Mahalo for sharing Sam! Air Tahiti Dreamliner is just beautiful! ❤️😬🤙🏾
This video has some of the most beautiful aviation footage I have ever seen. Great job!
Such a cool insight into their airport operations! Love it
Yeah
Sam, dude you rock! Thank you for sharing this amazing video. It's EPIC!!! 👍👍👍
Thank you Sam for your amazing n beautiful videos
Fantastic video. There is so much going on that needs to be coordinated perfectly. All air travelers should watch this video to help appreciate the complexity of all major airports. So if there is an hour or 2 delay people will understand and be thankful that the delay is only an hour or two! I'm born and raised in Los Angeles and have been flying for business since 1990. It is amazing that a small airport built in 1928 can still service the needs of the world to and from one of the biggest cities in the world. So much has been done to make the small area as efficient as it is since it is too expensive to purchase additional land around the airport. Double decking the horseshoe entrance to building terminals in between terminals, etc. So much work that continues but still the airport services tens of millions of passengers a year without interruption. Thanks, Panda 1!
Great video, Sam! I was at the grand opening of this iteration of LAX in 1961. The only recognizable structures from that period of time are the original control tower and theme building. Believe it or not, except for the holiday periods, it was a relatively quiet and easy to manage airport.
Thanks!
Wow that's incredible!
@@Kaipeternicolas Thanks!
Oh mate! This was bloody incredible thank you so so much.
A plane spotter's dream. Great work Sam. Thanks so much!!!! Lvflyin, Viper.
Sam I had the same experience as you did my uncle took me on the tarmac and we got to see a Korean A380 and I got to climb in the engine i was so happy.
That Korean Air 747-8i landing was actually very smooth. AMAZING video Sam. May I ask you to do this in JFK too? It’s my home Airport and one of the busiest Airports in the world especially because of its geographical position. As always, thank you.
Absolutely brilliant Sam. This is so insightful. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks Sam, great action from one of my moste favourite airport LAX👍
Sam , buddy, that was absolutely fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed this video thanks from North Bay Ontario. Great work , your tour guide at LAX should be commended for everything he did to show your viewers areas we could never get to and sights not seen.
Sam please revew air tanzania 787,a321,dhc8q400
I saw your instagram post and I really hope your mother gets better soon, all the wishes.
Would absolutely love such an experience. Great video.
What a treat to see this back office space at LAX. Thanks for sharing.
