[natebot321]

I liked 00:00 to 24:07

[igor19116]

and i think 27r is the only cat III certified runway in phl and used in bad weather... am i right?

[TrainSounds]

Why did the Aeromexico flight go to Philadelphia?

[TrainSounds]

Does USA 3000 have a hub in Philadelphia?

[airlinephl]

@TrainSounds yes

[Cactus732]

@TrainSounds USA 3000 are a charter airline they don't really have a hub anywhere they just have a few flights from here and there

[Cactus732]

[NIGHTWHMAN]

Isn't Philly one of the UsAir Hubs??

[blakman7]

Yes

[YYZspotter24]

yes a lot of there international flights operate from philly

[airshowfansh]

The winds that day favored operations on the 9s.

[shifflett777]

Your correct, pilots look for a headwind (wind that they fly into ) to land, this way they can slow down faster. When taking off, you want a tail wind, in which case makes you go faster. If landing in a tailwind, a pilot could recover but FAA regulations and ATC suggests head wind runways. Now, in some cases, aircraft cannot cannot land on a headwind, simply because they may be in an emergency. So, they give them the closest runway available.

[genysys20]

ummmm, you want ahead wind for takeoff actually!

[inrtwd]

HuhYooJuh!!!

[adamski895RS]

One question what type of airbus is at 2:00

[airshowfansh]

It's actually a Boeing 767-300ERF

[atvmaster281]

Wow i would have never guessed that. Thanks! :)

[MattGoBoom]

That one at 2:30 had almost NO flare at all.

[Ireland171717]

please, airshowfansh....more!

[VinnyyAtHisBest]

737's and 717's and some older Boeing models seem to have the loudest thrust reversers

[Ireland171717]

at 20:00 is that a a300, a330 or Boeing 777?

[airshowfansh]

777

[adamski895RS]

lol there all completely different

[ns927]

Nice footage! Theres alot of us airways boeing 757's landing there

[shortkid97]

this is because philly is US airs biggest trans ATL arrival

[VinnyyAtHisBest]

Ive never seen an Aeromexico arriving at PHL! nice

[Tracon]

They ran a Charter in 2 days within that week. 1 day it was in the OC. The 2nd it was NC.

[DustyDenny]

hay i live right there in lester

[planelover3640]

The first plane in this video is the same one i flew to Boston. Its a great plane....

[pcmiler2000]

Its very sad not to see alot of BIG planes anymore, especially in the 80s where u see alot of Tristars, DC-10s, and Boeing 747s right here in the states landing at airports all the time.

Anyways, its still a nice video.

What kind of camcorder u use?

[harv1l]

Great video, I have been spotting at PHL for 35 years. It's a great place to watch planes due to the ample spots to watch both from the end of rw 27 l/r and 9 l/r. Looking forward to seeing the UPS 777's in the near future. Anyone know the delivery dates to UPS and FDX?

[criminalgboro]

i know fedex has it 2009-2010 but idk ups

[amartinjoe]

Nice vid! I love watching planes; how do you do this without getting kicked out by security ? Everytime I do it at Pearson (Toronto); guards usually tell me to leave....like I'm sort of a terrorist.

[rodude57]

really? usually i just say im plane spotting and then they leave me alone...

[planelover3640]

Haha thats what i do when i go plane spotting, they dont really care, where do u spot from?

[rodude57]

portland international in portland oregon man.. nothing fancy.. a semi-busy class C... wish i lived near la or something.. lata!

[planelover3640]

Who wouldn't want to live near LA, i mean seriously? Haha, philly is a pretty good airport to spot from doesn't really have that much of diversity between airlines...but it is the 9th busiest in the US so yeah..ha ha

[criminalgboro]

you ever been to katl its crazy planes taking off every 5 seconds literally

[planelover3640]

No i haven't but my friend has and he says its crazy. KPHL has a takeoff or landing like every minute and a half. KBOS is really busy too i was there and it was a flight every minute.

[sirjeran]

Awesome footage!

[lfstweak420]

Wow that's a nice long spotting video... Mine's individual because I can't upload such a long duration video onto Youtube... They are quiet compared to the 747s and DC-10s(from Bangladesh), those make great loud noise lol I love them. Anyway I'm from Singapore, greetings.

P.S. Russian and Soviet planes make greater noise plus the C-141s and C-5s in your country. :)

[horizonflyer9]

you got the perfect spotting spot great job! i always see the planes coming over my house for

Philadelphia but i never went spotting there.
