    That delta MD11at 3:30 is still flying as a Fed EX freighter. The Alaska airlines 737-400 at 5:45 is still flying as a cargo plane. That 767 at 6:09 is still flying. The 747-400 at 6:40 is still flying. The 767 at 7:06 still flying. The MD11 at 9:32 still flying with UPS .The 727 at 11:01 last registered in 2009 status is unknown. All others were either scrapped or I couldn't get the tail numb.

I was also a fan of the DC-10 which got an unfair rap, my first flight I remember being on was a dc10 USAir flight in 1989. Great memories

    Hi,
    This was not filmed in 1992. N658UA was not even built and delivered to United until 1993, so I am assuming this was mid 1994 especially based on the Asiana Visit Korea 1994 sticker. Great video!

To be able to watch these classic birds in the old colors from the last of the great era in aviation. It was amazing to watch my favorite 727 in old Delta colors, slowly rotating off of the runway. I love how the 742 and DC10 pilots did the same, slow rotation. Always seemed so magical. Wonderful upload, thank you for sharing!

      Probably one of the oldest 737s around at the time. United received the first batch of 737-200s built, including the prototype (N9001U, which was also the 5th airworthy 737). That order of airplanes were delivered with the short nacelles and retrofitted with the HPTR later. Interesting that this airplane never received the post-1973 inlet mods and retained its blow-in doors (presumably, until the end).

Its crazy to think that many aircraft shown here, such as 747 classics, DC-10s, MD-11s, 727s, are no more:( Thank you for this gem of a video! I think this was taken in 1993 though, not 1992, as I saw the "Visit Korea 1994" label on the Asiana 744, and from a little research, for LAX Singapore Airlines didn't switch from 743 to 744 until 1993.

    The video seems to date around 1994 or 1995 since I saw an Alaska 737-400 (introduced 4/92) along with the United Airlines "battleship" paint scheme (introduced 1993 or 1994).

    Nice to see some airlines that we lost along with aircraft flying no more, in a video Morris Air a plucky little carrier was fun to fly in. The new United color schemes were the worst. I liked Canadian as Canadian Pacific before the merger

    I'm a former Continental Employee and these videos are priceless. Keep them coming. Do you have any from Seattle back in the 80's and 90's?

    I always thought the UA livery (the gray and blue one) was introduced in 1993!

    They were a SLC based airline who eventually were purchased by SWA...

    N652ua at 6:10 is still with united airlines and soon should be painted in their new livery. That would make it 5 different liveries all with the same airline, pretty unheard of.
