[Squag17]

Good video!! Where do you spot



[TrainSounds]

NO Newark Airport is bullsh*t because they almost delayed my continental flight to London!

[Piepeoples]

Go US AIRWAYS

i was palnesptting yesterday at phl... i was rite beside the ups terminal, my first time ever coming...

[mrmoerder]

It seems that every Us Airways A330 is in Philly! I love the plane, but I know Us only has like 7 of the -200. T

[scott1643]

Anyone know why 747's aren't really flying into Philly anymore? The only 4 engine jets I see coming in are a Lufthansa and Air Canada A340, as well as the occasional AN-124 picking up Chinooks.

needs moar U.S Airways :P

[Zackary747]

@Supervictor1211 what do you mean it needs more US Airways. US Airways is the hub at philly. hub means most flights their.

[mayank300]

dude next time you are going to do the spotting at an airport, could you do an hour or so video at Lehigh Valley Airport in Allentown, PA.. Its only a 1hr 15min drive from Philadelphia

[javielo1000]

@mayank300

the biggest aircraft that comes to lehigh valley airport are the a310 and 757 from fedex, they

usually come very early in the morning and depart late at nite... other than that there are the usual crjs and embraers, the us airways a319, allegiant md80, and airtran 717 and 737... not much coming over here...

[indyschmidt]

I remember driving by the airport seeing this monster wondering what the hell it was. Now I know! Thanks. I work at the factory that built the UAE Chinooks, so it's definitely cool to see this footage.

[87SRV]

well just found out why they were loading the chinooks the UAE is one of are allies

and their replacing their ageing fleet of chinooks. they fly alot of humanitarian, and supply missions.

[87SRV]

isnt that a russian transport aircraft? why are we giving them new Chinooks dont they have their own choppers? just wondering

[emreturk5]

great video man, love PHL stuff. I think the AN brought in some kind of military helicoptor, i noticed them putting one together at Atlantic Aviation after the AN was parked. (I think it was at AA)

[airshowfansh]

@emreturk5 It parked at Atlantic and as you can see in the video two brand new Chinooks were being loaded onto it. Both were for the UAE.

[emreturk5]

@airshowfansh oh they were being loaded lol i thought unloaded. also either that day or before there was a Qatar 777 any idea of where it came from or why it was there. and also saw a Aeromexico 737, 2nd time i've seen it at PHL

[planelover3640]

@emreturk5 My guess is the Qatar 777 got diverted from one of the New York Airports.

[emreturk5]

@planelover3640 hm strange i don't think anything else was diverted that day

[planelover3640]

@emreturk5 Mhmm.. Maybe it was low on fuel?! I really don't know, I haven't seen maybe large aircraft diverted to PHL, just the occasional Porter Airlines Dash 8 from EWR or BOS, or Alligient from ABE.

[emreturk5]

@planelover3640 yea that is a possibility but you would think if it's destination was JFK the route is prolly closer than PHL, but who knows lol

[6231997]

@emreturk5 could have been Washington DC

[CathayGuy]

20:04!!! BEAUTIFUL! Speed Bird!

[buffey]

Excellent video, Steve. Thanks so much for taking me back to Island Road. Used to be a frequent visitor there.

[gsadvanced]

The AN 124 at 22:01 is cool, I like the civil aircraft stuff you do.

[CathayGuy]

WOW NICE!

[Admiral1428]

Wow I know what you mean Steve with that An-124. Nice video!!
