Wow this isn't any ordinary spotting video. It's oringinal, very nice job

[neocastillo]

amazing job

[GREENY7798]

What camera you using

[rabidpensfan]

I like flying in and out of Fort Lauderdale. Very very busy airport to my surprise, but nothing beats the tune that plays when the luggage belts kick on. The video is awesome, great footage and excellent music. This does give you a great feeling about aviation. All I can say is from about 4:33 on........Awesome! Great job, definitely do more videos.

[XaircraftX]

Hey nice video, where is that spot at 2:38? on the approach end.

[DeltaAirtran]

This video is amazing!!! Great quality, and nice song! What's it called?

[flightfred]

@DeltaAirtran Thx buddy! Song is from DTadagio and called Final sundown. Peace

[jburtonfan4lif3]

Hey excellent video man i really enjoyed it ! by the way is the spotting area where it had the road next to the doggy entrance still open there and did they make a new way to it , really thinking of going this weekend or something with my new camera

[flightfred]

@jburtonfan4lif3 Correct, should be the same.

[eswillie]

to paraphrase a great movie line: "i love the smell of jet fuel in the morning". while i'm into anything that moves, but especially trains, the whiff of jet-A on a passing breeze reminds me of some of the best days in my life......as did your video.

again, kudos!!

[eswillie]

some of the best aviation video i've seen; since i worked in aviation for a decade, i'm always looking for something that'll bring back the look and feel....you did it. nice if you could go to hd, but your finesse with the actual shots (composition, etc.) is great, and you put it all together with some appropriate music.

hope ya keep it up!!!

[flightfred]

@eswillie Thx for your kind comment, recently got a new HD camera (finally)! So I ll try to do some more if I have time :)

[TheAndrewcool11]

[fsx926]

Are you wondering about those DC-10's? the reason no cargo airlines come in here is because they have late night flights including Fedex Feeder

[flightfred]

Well i'm waiting for your spotting video dude! What do you mean by good types? Just go to the obeservation area try to be stable and find a way thru the fence for your camera; you'll have great shots...

[Jato45777]

@brandandude you can go to the plane watching area off the highway. they have a radio set up so u can actually hear the pilots and the tower taliking

[Nexcet]

I've used to do this on and off several times after work in the evening when I worked in Hollywood. I know the spots which you've mention!

Perfectly ambient and nice to watch :]

Once it was dark I would go eat and ride home smoothly on i95. Most chill evenings ever.

Thanks for bring it back from a video. Always nice!

[flightfred]

@Nexcet Thx for your comment! I'm flying back to Europe tomorow after more than a year in the US... Will miss the US aviation, and i guess in a couple of months i'll watch again this video with a bit of... nostalgia

[AmtrakPatrick]

Excellent video! I love how you framed some of your shots of the planes. FLL is still one of my favorite airports with a great viewing area. I'll be going there next month.
