Wow! Those were the days! Today, there's nothing like that. I can't even remember seeing a helicopter landing at SFO, let alone a regularly scheduled, publicly accessible chopper ride from Oakland.
I worked as a letter carrier in Millbrae, Ca in 1978. Millbrae is located just west of the SFO airport. I remember being able to see the airplanes taxing, taking off & landing. There was one neighborhood I delivered to that had the runway & 101 freeway in one side & the SP tracks on the other. It was a very loud place to live.
1980 worked at Marriott infligth services in Milbrae rode my bike from Coyote Point in San Mateo, my brother Julio Gomez worked for TWA on fueling DPT, from the 60's to 2003 have good memories of that era long time gone ✌☮🏜
The scenery reminding me of the legendary movie Bullitt with Steve McQueen as he and his colleague entered the airport and went to the desk to get the information about this John Ross suspect that tries to get on an aircraft to leave the USA and then Bullitt was running over the airport ground to catch the suspect that escaped from the Boeing 707 by jumping out of it on the rear left hatch as Bullitt searched for him inside the aircraft in which the suspect had attempted to get out of the USA and also of this legendary stunt of Steve McQueen as he laid on the ground and the Boeing 707 rolled over him with running engines! The sound of these engines were epic and mind-boggling loud! - And all of these scenes were taken in the night time on that particular day in the late 1960th! And at the inside part of this one here it remind me to scenes as Bullitt hunted the suspect down to this exit were the suspect was shot down at the end because he tried to kill Bullitt and someone in the back said that he must be a cop! - Stunning and absolutely cool to see! Thank you so much for it and lovely greetings from Captain Sarah Sutter (Boeing 747-400, Boeing 747-8F)!
Very cool seeing the old orange stripe American Airlines livery. I honestly don't ever remember seeing it in person, the only one I remember as a very young one was the classic shiny aluminum and the red, white and blue stripes.
The 747 hangers at the UAL maintenance base were under construction and based on the number of houses in the surrounding hills and the American Airlines livery I would conclude this is 1967 or 1968, possibly early 1969.
@@souljazzrb Nice catch! You can just make out the Road Runner sticker above the trunk keyhole. United Airlines received its first Boeing 747s in August 1970 so the construction state of the 747 hangers @8:38 looks perfect for early to mid 1969. The weather might suggest late-winter or spring since I don't see fog in any shots and Sneath Lane was more or less the dividing line between sun and fog much of the time.
The roll-out of the very first Boeing 747 was on September the 30th 1968, the maidenflight was on February the 2nd in the year of 1969 and the first passenger flight of the Boeing 747 was on January the 21st in the year of 1970 (airline : Pan Am - flight : New York to London and back)! And most of the airports around the world had to fix their runways and aprons in the first place to be able to handle this huge aircraft! And on this particular day they were working on this issue there and on many airports around the world! Just to mention it here! Greetings from Captain Sarah Sutter (Boeing 747-400, Boeing 747-8F)
SFO Helicopters! My parents and I flew in one of those S-61s from Oakland to San Francisco and back in early 1968 just for the fun of it.
Yup. They landed right next to I-80 on the helipad, which was Hwy 17 , the Nimitz back in the day

That car parking sequence was amazing

Howdy and Great vid, Memories for sure, not a Airbus in sight. 727 forever!
The 727 was a great-looking jet. As a little kid in the mid-sixties, my Husband was in the cockpit of a couple of them.
Great footage, horrible music.
Groovy tunes ;-)

i miss the PSA girls...this brought back so many good memories of flying.
Great video, but what’s up with the music! It needs a soundtrack to match the time.
Ganz klasse Video👍🏽
D.B. Cooper at 4:51??
Ha! Practice run!

Yeah, real cool if you wanna go out today and step on poop everywhere there’s an app for that
American has one plane painted in that retro livery currently. It is very cool to see.
@@sooverit5529 Didn’t know that. Pretty wild, must get more than a few double-takes. N905NN, B738, AstroJet Retro livery.
That AA livery was in use from 1964 to 1968 when they switched to the shiny aluminum with red white and blue stripes.
…and Air California.

🎶Where the B-movie actors roar🎵
This is good stuff!
I agree 100 percent!
Crazy music.
Great seeing those 727s,706s, DC 8s..❤❤❤ no foreflight, no gps. Although INS may have been introduced by then.
L10-11's.....TriStar/Whisperliner.!!
No 747? I'd say this was late 1960s.

@@Peter_S_ I believe you're right about early 1969. @6:01 a lady gets out of a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. It looks brand new.

CP Air got their first 737 in 1969 so the video is no earlier than 1969

7:26, National Airlines out of Miami, FLA.
Had to turn the volume down, the music was horrible.
Must have been just before 747s, DC10s and L1011s ruled
I thought i was listening to dubstep at one point. I wouldve just liked to see it wothout the music, tbh.
That wasn't a United Airlines DC-8, but instead a Boeing 720. United never operated the 707.
Steadicam was invented in 1975
I knew the inventor, Garrett Brown!
appreciate the footage but music is absolutely terrible
Earache 🙉🙉🙉
Dafuq with the music?
Absolutely horrible sound (music?!)😢
