Snow Plows Clearing MSP, Fire Truck, Aircraft Taxing, and Baggage Carts

[freedomii6]

this would be an annoying job. YOu'd clear the snow off and it would just show up again! that would drive me nuts!

[pilot588]

wouldn't they just need a 777 or a 747 just to taxi around to blow it off? xD

[usafisasome]

and g-7 is the gat i was at that day i supose u were at g-6

[usafisasome]

iwas at this ap on 1-5-10 and i saw a 747-400 queen of the skys and snow went every ware

[pear406]

I live in this city, I love how we get 2 feet of snow and -48 F and nothing is cancelled. XD

[TheJeffhardy809]

[levewe]

yo cessna one question! did u hear aout the plane crash in jamaica??? if u did can u pls tell me wht went wrong while they landed?!!? i live here n on the news it saiid tht the engine collapsed offf on landing!!! y is this so??

[AgentHog]

They over shot the runway, brakes were not applied fast enough, and due to water on the runway the plane hydroplaned and went off the end of the runway. The engines were sheared off like they are designed to do in a crash.

[toxaris71]

Merry Christmas! Cessna154 :P

[therabbit0]

[KubeckDK]

Do they not have heat on the runway to smelt the ice?

[amistrymister]

@KubeckDK where would this heat come from?

[SnWfilms]

[Polishsoldier1]

[jesuistahmid]

wow that's insane snowing.... it hasn't even started snowing here in canada

[extrmefreak21]

whoa thats crazy

[MoonmanJR]

I love going to the airport and flying in the planes. I really think it would be cool to takeoff in the snow and see the ground covered in white. Cant imagine how it is landing :P

[ReneLego]

Nice!

What kind of camera do you use?

5/5

Have a nice holiday!

[cuiter23]

wow, really great views!

[kwark1223]

Visit Toronto if you want to see a rediculous amount of snow plows.

[Intelpentium54321]

0:11 convoy of snow plows. So awesome

[dondycluck]

when since Delta get an A319?

[oilersman95]

When they took over NWA

[runway34r]

since they bought NWA

[lotus6230]

the first shot of the snow plows is awesome!!! ROLL OUT THE FLEET!!!!!!

[keyofawesomefan]

Looks pretty cool I like it

[SWVA7683]

nice!

[MewingFugur]

An army of snowplows!

[bigsoxfan23]

What happened to your fsx videos?

[ReneLego]

He's just on vacation ;)

FSX videos will be back next week, I think...

[Flightkid9]

Awesom, I saw the plows clearing the runway at edmonton intl. once, too bad I didn't film it.

[cruxader27]

2:00...looks like an A319 or A318?

[8justin88]

in the first shot...with the NWA plane...what plane was that...looked a little small for an a320...

[cruxader27]

maybe a319 or an a318

[QwertyAzerty2009]

its an A319.

[Mak933]

Oh.. and this is some awesome footage at MSP International. Maybe we'll have to meet up at next year's Airshow at Flying Cloud? I'm assuming you live within the vicinity.

[Mak933]

Looks like you're at the Lindbergh terminal?

[Mak933]

Err sorry. Humphrey, the smaller one.

[jb99rapp]

did your flight get canceled

[FLIGHTSIMEXTREME]

Rare for many ppl to see the snow plows of the airport

[Sidewinder52]

I don't know if anyone else knew this but to de-ice the runways they use dehydrated animal urine instead of salt because salt a extremely corrosive to an aircrafts aluminum skin. Just an interesting fact i learned about in my aviation maintenance class.

[Mak933]

Thank you for sharing! This is very interesting! And sustainable!

[8justin88]

thats strange...but totally awesome!

[cornholioman123]

since when did salt come in contact with the jet's body except when the jets suck it up and it hits the wing

[Sidewinder52]

Tires also kick up salt that gets in the landing gear bay and hits the bottom of the fuselage. Also even the smallest bit of corrosion on a major load bearing part of an airplane can cause failure of that component. I know this because i am in training to be an A&P Technician and we are learning about corrosion.

[Cessna154]

I could have sworn I saw vehicles placing sand down on the runway after the snow was cleared. Is sand commonly used on runways? I would assume so....

[Sidewinder52]

I think it would be possible to use sand also because it isn't as corrosive as salt, so that may be something they used to give airplane tires more grip. They may use other things too it is just important they don't use any corrosive material like salt because corrosion causes reduction in airframe capabilities that fall below factory specifications which can lead to in flight failure.

[rootusercyclone]

I live 20 minutes away from here =)

[Mattyheli]

You're lucky, in Australia, we dont get snow. Some parts do but not where I live.

[RsMerchKing]

Thats nothing, we got 2 feet of snow in about 48 hours max.

[7372009]

@RsMerchKing so does everyone eles that live where I Live

[rcplaneguy1]

2 years ago I left for Naples,FL on spring break and we got a huge snowstorm here in the MSP area, looked EXACTLY like this...

[thefsxflyer]

How airports clear snow is the coolest thing ever. They are so smart and efficient at it.

[ryanair737400]

now this is the real truth of the world recession there not clearing snow someone droped a cent on the runway and there now looking for it :)

[colemuzquiz]

in what airport is???

[TheFsManProductions]

@colemuzquiz

St. Paul International

[ryanair737400]

its snowing a bit here in dublin,Ireland

[artiejump]

ha ha!

you're missing the snow!

we have 10 inches here in holland haha!

seems like rain is the only thing they have in Ireland lol

[ryanair737400]

yeah ye but the snow is been blowing down for scandinavia sorry for my spelling we jshould get a good bit tonight anyway it is very unusual for ireland to get snow before christmas!

[artiejump]

spelling doesnt matter, as long as you understand it. and i do xd

[cd949604]

[im1knight]

i wonder when can FS's ground vehicle reach this kind of realism...

[miked9372]

last time i saw that fire truck it had its lights on and was parked at the gate

[a380person]

Its snowing here in belfast right now :)

[arun1pilot]

[allibowthepilot]

[grimguy123]

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Haha it looks like a parade. Nice vid.

[FlightSimulatorXATC]

those trucks totally pwnd that snow with a 25 killstreak lulz :D

[mugsylol]

thats a lot of snow!

[fuddy12345]

Go Snow Plows Go!!

[tinkandtory]

reminds me of tis morning in in canada when i was doing my checklist we got delayed so they could do this

[pikemaster92]

3-4 inches, we had about 25 inches in Friesland, Netherlands, so no planes at EHDR, they even did not clear the runway of snow

[mfastx]

Just LOOK at the snow plow ACTION! lol good post.

[tubagod88]

that was cool was that like a lay over or something?

[Jonern67]

Excellent footage Steve! Do someone know why there are so many "Snow Truck's" clearing the runway of snow? I would think that it was enough with 2 or 3.... 5/5 anyway;)

[Cessna154]

MSP is very busy throughout the day, but especially in the morning and evening and it was crucial to get that runway open. The airport almost always operates at all times on two runways, sometimes three.

[pikemaster92]

more snow trucks means that the runway can be cleared of snow in less time

[EIN771]

lol that made me laugh, though it is a bit stupid, it was funny! and yes speaking as a FS enthusiast, it is very interesting!

[userbrytje008]

nicee

[Flyglobespan93]

hahahahahhahhahahaha

[ste96en]

haha, sais the mw2 "gamer" rofl dumbass

[hamham500]

Only a little bit of snow in the UK.

[cruzader0]

i wish they made something similar to this for fsx O_o.

[RSultimecia102]

its not fsx lolz

[Neppybutt]

Amazing to note how many airports would close with 1 or 2 inches of snow.

I lived in Anchorage, and like Minneapolis might close down for a short while but do have the equipment to deal with the blizzards.

[Cessna154]

The only time I can remember the airport closing a runway during a snow storm is to clear it as seen in this video, but also when an aircraft skids off the taxiway or the end of the runway. More often then not, the pilots are a bit too fast with their taxing on the snowy runways during the snow storms.

I cannot remember a time when all runways were shutdown at the same time. So yes, MSP, like a few others airports, can handle snow storms with ease.

[mfastx]

haha here in houston we get snow about once every few years and the whole city shuts down with an inch of snow. lol

[rumbleforce2]

wow real-world graphics for flight sim lol

[salamandos707]

Hey thats cool I was at st.paul too on that day too on a connection to the west coast, was pretty bumpy over the rockies.

[ElRhinoProductions]

[Flyglobespan93]

its real u tit and u cant get any for FS

[ElRhinoProductions]

@Flyglobespan93 you clearly missed the "xD"

[RunTheRockers]

its called sarcasm.

[water8556]

[Flagpiper]

Flagstaff, AZ beats that out - 2 feet of snow fell on Dec 7 & 8 and closed the entire city, as well as Pulliam airport. Would have loved to see the plows after our blizzard! Very nice vid - cool to see winter ops at airports!

[ThunderDonkey]

i have a great idea!

runways with heating in it xD lmao

[andycats]

Sure why not...im sure it can be done

[BoeingNG737]

There is about 20 cm here in Norway and -13 degrees celsius

[ThunderDonkey]

about 8~10 cm snow here, expecting more to come tonight/tomorrow.

[DangerousMusicProd]
