AAs classic livery looked stunning on the 757. Liked your style of TRs!
Looks like it wasn’t just the livery that survived! Lol!
You should do a trip from KDFW to KMFE, try to get on an MD-80 flight down there. The runway is 7,300 feet, small for an MD-80 and it'll get some good JT8D noise!
N780AN was Stored on 07/2017
It then was delivered to DHL on 1/15/2019.
Waow I loaded and unloaded A/C N780AN for soooo many years at JFK, SJU, then at MIAMI. I miss them when they retire soon. Thx for flying with us. Peace out from American Airlines Miami HUB...👍👍🍺
Buddy N780AN is a 777-200ER that is still active with American XD If you're talking of this 757, N678AN, then yes it's with DHL now. I do miss these chrome birds as well and it'll be a huge shame when they're gone. In my opinion there really will never be a proper replacement for the 757!!
Great Trip Report! Quite lucky you got to fly the old 757 livery!
"No Smoking" signs on the armrest LOL - Same planes I flew on with AA flying from EWR to the Caribbean in the 1990s. Miss them! CLT = What AA WAAnted out of RDU in the '90s!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOW.. I washed and polished few times N678AN in TULSA Maintenance Base. The days that will never return. I remember in 1988 and 1989 when we used to operate former flight AA655 from New York Kennedy Airport operating our former A300-605ER with the old runway,😱
Fantastic report!
Absolutely love how the B757 looks in the new livery. What a pity it won't be around for long any more.
Hope you had a great vacation! :)
CollegeAviator thanks man. Sadly this plane was just retired today. Flew DFW-ROW and landed a few hours ago for the final time :(
Awesome footage! St. Thomas looks beautiful =D
In reference to your comment about Lufthansa. They have been flying CLT-MUC for many years. Often with the A346. Prior to the AA/US merger US was Star Alliance along with LH so there was feed. But LH also runs the route because BMWs American plant is in NW South Carolina so the route serves to shuttle employees between as needed.
Wow, thanks for the info! That makes much more sense now.
Amazing video! Super cool you were on the AA 757 old livery! Looked like fun! Enjoy your time in St. Thomas! Big like from me!
Thanks buddy!
9:18 that's a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean right there
Dude I don't think you know how lucky you are to fly on an OLD LIVERY 757 out of CHARLOTTE. That's pretty awesome
Yeah I was surprised myself! They usually fly out once a week from CLT.
Lucky how you get to fly a 757 and in old livery too! As a kid when I used to go on vacation to SDQ from BOS it used be plenty of em now they just send in A320s
I miss the good old days where 757's were everywhere! A320's and 737's are boring tbh XD
That cabin and livery on the B757 simply seem nostalgic😆
Awesome review!
nice trip report...i might travel to the caribbean via plane someday having visited there via boat..
amazing trip report! didn't know that the american 757 old colors still existed!
Thanks! Yeah there's only 7 left in the old livery!
Ahuis 4224 nice!
AS Aviation -oh well I learn something new every day!
In the old livery sick!!!! Loved it!!!!
I had flown on the 757 new from MIA-JFK
Another fantastic trip report man 👍 the 757 looks like an awesome aircraft . St Thomas looks like a beautiful city 😀
Thanks Brad! The 757 sure is great, sad we don't see them in Pakistan aside from the DHL 757. And St. Thomas is very beautiful, but it's not a city, it's an island. The city is called Charlotte Amalie.
Those little intro things are the best! Great job editing this trip report!
No offence to Americans, but they are a bit dramatic. People near you scared about landing on water and the shock of the landing. I was in Las Vegas and the plane swerved during takeoff and everyone apart from us was screaming and then we had turbulence where the aircraft dropped a few hundred feet (completely normally). Relax, flying is safer than driving :-)
Alex Penney I live in America, but have traveled to several different countries. The most screaming and panicking I’ve experienced was on a flight from Madrid to London. Overall, I don’t find Americans anymore dramatic when flying than Europeans. If a plane drops a “few hundred feet” as you say, people are going to panic regardless of where you are in the world. A deviation of a few hundred feet is rare and considered severe turbulence. The human brain did not evolve to fly, so whether you’re a brave person or not, the brain does not register flight as a common sensation and anxiety is a normal response to any significant abnormality. You can watch hundreds of turbulence videos from around the world on RUclips and they all have one thing in common. Screaming.
Alex Penney not as much as latins bra
I am an American but I agree with you
Most Americans don’t know shit about planes and take flying for granted, coming from an American
@@jr13227 couldn't have agreed more, also coming from an american
I have been to St. Thomas before! I flew on a Delta 737-700 from Atlanta to there and an American 737-800 to Miami
Fantastic trip report! Loved it!
One thing you might want to think of for your camera is an extra battery. They're not all that expensive and they can add 2- 5 hours of battery life.
Yeah I want to get one soon! Thanks!
Awesome Trip! Hope You Enjoyed CLT!
Thanks! Yeah CLT was great the 3hrs I was there!
Awesome Trip Report! I truly enjoyed it!
yay 🙌
That's a cool livery!! 5:46
Thanks for uploading. Great video bro. I live the silver AA 757-200.
you did not have sierra mist you had mist twst because they changed their name. BTW great video!
US airways used to be a part of the star alliance, so lufthansa would get plenty of traffic from them with codeshare flights, but I assume that because the flight was already established, Charlotte already had plenty of demand for the Germany route
I went ST Thomas last year for vacation
I can't believe how many people have to fly around on such old aircraft these days and the paltry food you get on these flights.
coashddjj2 It doesn't matter how old the plane is as long as it gets you to your destination
That was an amazing trip report! Keep it up!
great video!! can't wait for the trip back
Delta also flies to CLT, and I believe its the A-gates
great video! subscribed.
Very nice!
RB-211 POWER!
Hey I'm going on a 757 -200 tomorrow from Miami To Santiago De los caballeros in the Dominican Republic.
Awesome! Hope you get an old livery!
Thanks
Nice Video!
I thought aa repainted their fleet?
Sharma R no they still have a few old livery planes
Yay! Saint Thomas! Home island!! I mis home so much😔
Nice video. Liked
Lufthansa is particularly successful in flying into non star alliance hubs. Philadelphia and Charlotte are perfect examples. I've flown to PHL from FRA and it seems to be that Lufthansa is very successful.
Charlotte Douglas is a pretty decent airport... I've flown in and out of there several times.
Jamie Allison yeah I really like CLT. Really easy to get around and very clean too!
Great
your aircraft was captured at st thomas on google earth, next to the 737
Excellent report, thanks for posting. The first of your videos I have seen, I have subscribed though.
When I Travel The World thanks so much James!
Nice!
5:33, nah, 4 is plenty, Heathrow has 2 and they cope just fine... sorta.. ish
Nice Video though, its nice to see a good ol' honest economy review, i wish youtube would support this more, not a channel like Sam Chui or whatever.
Btw, have American repainted their Mad dogs?
I think American is partly delaying the repainting because , the longer an aircraft has the old livery, the less fuel it will burn.
Oh, ignore the MD-80 part then....:D
What software did you use for the flight map?
I hope you enjoyed the Virgin Islands. Do come again
I was just thinking the same thing. Blake and Grey but why?
Pretty exquisite
whats the name of the 1st song?
actually, the soundtrack of this video is
Joakim Karud- Dreams
Interesting, that’s weird how there are multiple names for the same song.
@@ASAviation right?
I thought they only left one 737 in old livery or is this during the repainting.
This is from two years ago in 2017 when there were many old liveries left. Now there's only the MD-80's and the single retro chrome 737.
Amazing!
What do you use I edit your videos
Also the reason why Lufthansa fly's to CLT airport is because before the merger Us Airways was part of the star alliance so is Lufthansa and air Canada and after American airlines us airways merger they most likely kept those airlines their for some reason instead of getting a one world airline to fly to CLT.
Ah that makes sense thanks! BA should definitely fly to CLT imo.
i have flown a 757 cebu pacific to iloilo
You flew on an A321? My Father currently flies that aircraft as a first officer!
Impressive
No this us a 757-223
They look kind of similar but know this is a Boeing 757
@@dom12011 they do not at all look familiar, im not sure how one can possibly think they look similar
What was the name of the app on your phone that you were using at the start of the video
Flightradar24
1.Monterrey-Dallas/2.Dallas-Reno
Also please answer how did you get the words on the screen?
By using iMovie's title feature.
AS Aviation thanks
AS Aviation under projects
idk if the entertainments a 7/10 lol
Lol they played beauty and the beast
Just subbed i like it
my aunt lives in st. Thomas and I've seen that plane
Awesome!
Didn’t look like that hard of a landing. I flew the 757 of Delta a few days ago (video coming soon check it out) and it felt a lot like that.
The camera doesn't do it justice. Considering the runway is 7000ft long and we're on a fully loaded 757 it was quite hard.
AS Aviation makes sense 👍
AS Aviation great video by the way!
i flew american airlines 2 times a day
1:14
What is the music in the beginning? Btw nice review
Adrian Moto “Zengo” by CraftyBoy
AS Aviation thanks!
no old plane for me imma pass yikes !!
Have u been to Heathrow..... then u will see what life is like with just 2 runways!
Yes I've been there many times!
BA doesn't need to fly to CTL as AA do, Lufthansa do as they are not in Oneworld and see a demand there
Not to be nosey but what was your tracking app at the beginning?
Flightradar24
Flight 77
I think this airplane does not get the new colors from American this airplane wil by replaced as the Airbus 321 and the Embraer 190 also get no new colors this will be replaced by the Airbus 319
Sadly yeah this plane might be retired soon.
I hate it when the film is speeded up!
Lol you know it's a 737 max
Flew to there a few years ago on an US AIRWAYS A319 and flew back out on the AA 757
Great job! Intro was very cool! liked
Awesome
Nice one there!!!☺
Great trip report
