Dreamt my whole life about being a pilot. USAF father, grew up on flight lines. Took hard math/science classes excelling in high school trying to get a USAFA appointment. Then halfway through my junior year, developed T1 diabetes. Pulled the carpet out from under me. These videos are so beautiful, showing a career I can never have. 40 years later....still here.
I'm sorry that happened my friend. I wish things had been different for you, but alas we cannot change the past. You're always welcome to fly with me here on the channel. Thanks for watching my friend.
You shouldn't. Denver and the Front Range are wrecked--it's a Socialist political and social craphole. I'm a native Coloradan who left Colorado. It's a scenic state increasingly filled with disgusting transplants. Decades ago, my family owned a ranch in the foothills west of Denver, I could actually see it in the video. Thankfully, it is permanently preserved as open space, but everything around is full of crackerbox subdivisions. When I was growing up, most of the area the plane flew over what is now suburbs was farms and ranches, including Denver International Airport. Too bad it all changed. The peak with a a bit of snow on top visible as the plane lands is Squaw Peak. Of course, the language Nazis said that name was "racist," so it was renamed a couple of years ago. They can take that and cram it--it's name will always be Squaw Peak to me, and I will always call it that. I now live in a conservative state that hasn't been raped and wrecked by the "beautiful people."
👍Sometimes a bumpy ride over the Rockies - I remember my first airplane ride - an orange Braniff to Lackland AFB in San Anton - I had a seat over the wing and engine like you had on this ride into Denver - wing and engine were bouncing up and down - whoa I thought that was the end - lol. Of course l learned later that if they didn't bounce up and down - it would be the end!
As someone who lives right outside Joplin, Missouri and was home the day that massive EF5 ripped through the city killing 160 people, I can confirm your statement.
In case you might be wondering why the engine in this video is sporting a lovely blue and light gray paint scheme, the reason is that there are actually three different cowl sections (in five parts that are replaceable and are not part of the engine itself) that surround the engine. The inlet cowl extends from the front of the engine to the fan. That’s the thing with the spinner that everyone can see when looking from the front. In this video it’s painted blue. It forms a complete circle, much like a donut, and is mounted to the front of the engine. The next section is the core cowl. It’s made up of two halves that are mounted to the pylon. These two cowl halves surround the compressor, combustion and hot section turbine sections of the engine. The gray-painted cowls are the thrust reverser sleeves. These are what can be seen sliding backwards and then stowed upon landing rollout. They are also halves that are mounted to the pylon. The reason for the two-tone paint scheme goes back to the catastrophic failure of the fan section of a United Airlines 777-200 engine near Denver a few years ago, that resulted in the grounding of United’s Pratt and Whitney powered fleet for a couple of years. All of the inlet cowls were required to be reworked so that they were less likely to leave the airplane. Core cowls were similarly reworked. If you have the parts in the shop, why not update the paint scheme to match the livery upgrade. The reverser sleeve in this video, hasn’t been replaced since it was last installed on the pylon. The airplane itself is likely still sporting the old Continental Airlines livery. Eventually, all United aircraft will have been through a livery upgrade, and the two-tone engines will be a thing of the past.
Your information is not exactly correct. What you are calling the inlet cowl is more commonly referred as the "nose cowl". The next sections aft are the "Fan Cowls" which surround the fan section of the engine. Aft of the fan cowls are the reverser half's which are made up of the bifurcation duct, cascade vanes, blocker doors and core cowl and enclose the hot section of the engine. :)
I didn’t know that Continental had P&W engines on their B772’s. I thought they were all engined with GE-90’s, with United being the only US airline using the P&W’s.
@@bruceknight21943 Continental did not have P&W engines on their 777-200s. All of legacy Continental’s 777-224ERs, nose numbers 0001 through 0022, are GE powered. All of legacy United’s 777-222s are P&W powered.
It's odd, I think it's officially DEN. All the signage that refers to itself at the airport is "DEN" and the IATA code is listed as DEN. I think DIA is a vestige of the old Stapleton airport before it closed, and people just kept calling it that. Near as I can tell DIA is Doha International Airport in terms of IATA code.
@@sandyd4680 Indeed, my parents and brother live nearby so you still hear it referred to as DIA. I remember the bumpy rides into Stapleton. It seems several years ago I started noticing the prominent placement of DEN everywhere including announcements over PA at the airport. It's like people in Chicago referring to the Sears tower when it's the Willis Tower now. Everyone grew up calling it that and will always call it the Sears Tower.
Me encantan tus videos solo calidad en color 4K ...y si puedo preguntarte ....como haces para grabar unos de tus tantos videos tan largos por ejemplo sobre 3 horas ...como lo haces para tanta cantidad de registro ..y capacidad ..👍👍👍👍👍👍
It definitely is an interesting thing to wrap your mind around. But, as you alluded to, without that engineered flexibility things wouldn't not turn out well. Thanks for watching!
I don't understand that elevator tab or whatever it is on the back of the wing. Looks like that would be pitching the plane to the left, but it isn't. More of a braking device? Probably why I flunked out of aeronautical engineering in the first semester. lol. great video again!
What you’re seeing there is in fact a speed brake, and the reason it’s not turning the aircraft is because the same control surface is up on the other side of the plane too. As you suggested, this control surface is designed to slow the aircraft by creating air resistance and disrupting the lift over the wing. The ailerons at the end of the wings are what’s used to roll the plane left and right. Thanks for watching!
Landings in Denver are always so boring. As someone who has been through there 1000 times there isnt ever any sudden turbulence or dramatic heading changes as you approach. Never any holding patterns or other aircraft around like youd find during approach into atlanta
Just because a landing is smooth doesn’t mean it’s dangerous. If you’re in an F-18 on an 800 foot long aircraft carrier then maybe, but in a 777 on a 12,000 foot long runway, no. This wasn’t dangerous at all.
Statistically speaking, the drive to the airport is more dangerous than the flight is. In the modern day and modern age, a planet crash is very unlikely and if it were to happen, the chances of survival are very high. When incidents happen regarding aviation, the media likes to exaggerate what happened for a better story which can scare people from flying. I do understand that people have fears but the chances of a crash are very low. The Aviation industry is very safe so there is nothing to be afraid of. But if you’re really afraid of dying in a crash. Pay attention to the safety video at the start of the flight as it demonstrates what to do in an accident should one happen. There is also a British airways flying with confidence course that has a 99% success rate. The course explains the safety of flight and explains every detail, sound, and equipment in flying. You most remember that among other things, flying a plane is a job for people and no one is going to willingly sabotage a flight to coverup company secrets. Also, pilots are checked to make sure that they are ok to fly and undergo vigorous training. Also a pilot will never fly a plane that they feel is unsafe to be in the air.

Gotta love the Mile High City. Blessed and grateful to live here. ❤
WOW ! .. lovely beautiful stunning footage compilation views ! .. and another beautiful lovely piece of work adventure documentary travel trip reports ! .. TQ ! ..
What a great video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice! 👍👍
Super smooth. I kinda wish I was there... a place that isn't covered in ice or snow!!
For a few months anyway
Wow 🤩. It’s so beautiful bro I love your videos 😊😊😊
I’m glad to hear it my friend! Thanks for watching!
Gosh, I would love to live in Colorado. Looks absolutely beautiful, and a lot warmer there than over here in Alberta. 🙂

Yooooo!!! 3:06 the clouds are amazing ✨❤️❤️❤️❤️
ikr 😔😔
Saw my house at 9:01. It's been nice weather lately!
Nice butter landing SP good job 👍
Smooth!
Got to love a clear day landing or takeoff in Denver
Not always something you get very often either. So it’s always welcome! Thanks for watching my friend!

Once lived at 11:50 … across the street from Southlands Mall (Smoky Hill / E-470)… a tornado ripped thru there one Sunday, long ago. …kinda scary.

I've lived in the Denver, CO area, and I really miss being there.
I hope this video helps some of that homesickness my friend.

You can see Chatfield Reservoir in the SW metro area at 8:04
Ah, DIA. 🤗🧑✈️

@marcusdamberger for locals we will always call it DIA. #colorado

@@marcusdamberger it's one of those things. 🙏
flew over my house on final approach!
"DENN-VURR IS A MILE-HI CITY & that s how hi I am ..." by the one and only RED STEAGALL ,1983 or so.
Notice the spoilers deploy from the top of the wing. 16:58
Me encantan tus videos solo calidad en color 4K ...y si puedo preguntarte ....como haces para grabar unos de tus tantos videos tan largos por ejemplo sobre 3 horas ...como lo haces para tanta cantidad de registro ..y capacidad ..👍👍👍👍👍👍
Every time I see the flex in the wing I can’t help but think “this is abnormal” even though everything is fine
It definitely is an interesting thing to wrap your mind around. But, as you alluded to, without that engineered flexibility things wouldn't not turn out well. Thanks for watching!
You can always tell a USAF pilot from a navy pilot on landing! 😂
Guessing runway 35L?
Thanks for the video. Very smooth approach...
You are correct, this was a 35L arrival. Thanks for watching!

Hello, could you please add to the description what type of camera your are using?
Thanks
That is already listed in every video description under the "Featured Equipment:" section. In this case it was an iPhone 14 Pro.
Thanks !!!
Great fly! Do you like eating something with butter?
I mean, everything is better with butter 😂.
That's my airport! Love flying into and out of DIA
NICEE JAY NEPAL
Thanks for watching my friend!

They're not bad if you come in from the west over the Rockies and it's not cloudy haha. But that's pretty specific and a lot has to go right.
Boring is good lol
Now enjoy the Colorado roads ( hold on to your teeth ).
Since it was smooth it was also dangerous
That is not true, but thanks 😂.
@ Because smooth landings take longer for the plane to slow down
Just because a landing is smooth doesn’t mean it’s dangerous. If you’re in an F-18 on an 800 foot long aircraft carrier then maybe, but in a 777 on a 12,000 foot long runway, no. This wasn’t dangerous at all.

Nby evvuhhh survives life
I’m not scared to fly, but keep defying gravity to a minimum.
Wrong
Then don’t fly
Who are you telling not to fly? What this supposed to be a really to someone's comment?
