That was one of the last times I saw one in person. We'd hoped to take the last flight in July, but were steered wrong by reservations who said they were gone July 15th. We landed in Orlando and, while driving out of the airport, one was sitting at the gate.
My brother is an AMT that works on the P&W 2000 series that Delta (and others) use on their 757-200 & -300s, right there at Delta’s Technical Operations Center at ATL.
VINTAGE aviation footage, and its pre-9/11. Life looked so much different back in the early 2000s, especially the airports themselves. Great upload thanks for this 🫡
Been flying for 43 years. 23,000+ hours, 9 type ratings... The B757 is the best, EVER, designed and built airliner, but what do I know... Captain, B757
This is absolutely awesome! I was also in 8th grade back around this time! Takes me straight back to my childhood. Aviation and commercial air travel will never be this good again. 😢
Flying has lost its luster - for those saying flying was better pre-9/11, that's an understatement. While airport security might have been less secure (which obviously in hindsight was terrible), the industry was better too. You got free meals, free bags, diverse fleets. Everything wasn't an A321.
I have a few friends who spent a number of years in the same role. Two of them now volunteer at the airport; "you can never really get away from the airport".
I'll never forget the first time I saw a movie on a plane. It was on a Delta 757 between ATL and DEN. The movie was Outbreak Starring Dustin Hoffman. They still gave us silverware in coach back then (1995) To a kid who loved aviation this would be the greatest flight if my life....That is until a few years later when I scored a first class seat on a Continental 737-700 between CLE-PHX for simply giving up my seat in coach so a mother could sit with her kid! The first movie on that flight was Bicentennial Man starring Robin Williams. I can't remember if there was a second movie. I do remember we had Pesto Linguini that was to die for and they baked only us first classers chocolate chip cookies before descent 😁 It was just such a special time to fly pre 911
The Delta livery before "Wavy Gravy" was actually a goid livery. It was an updated version of the prior livery, and ir was much better than Wavy Gravy and the current livery.
I was born in 2005, and I've continually been a Delta loyalist (originally Northwest, I only partially remember a single flight with them on their DC-9, probably one of my most favorite memories). Honestly I don't remember seeing Delta's old livery other then photos, and I'm not used to seeing Delta's fleet other then what it is currently (bar the 777 and Mad Dog), so seeing an old livery Delta L-1011 just simply taxiing at Atlanta where I've transited hundreds of times just gives me a metaphorical mind grenade! Awesome video, thanks so much for sharing, and sorry about the throat infections 😆
Delta finally retired all their Triple-7s and MDs. If you ever have time between flights in ATL, their museum is just off the airport property on the north side. They have a full DC-9, 757 & 767 in the old livery. They also have the very first 747-400 delivered for commercial service (to Northwest, originally) that is also repainted. There is also “Ship 41,” one of their old DC-3s that is complete, along with other old prop planes & partial jets, including a 1011. There are video tours here on YT to watch. And look up the official museum site for info. Have fun!
This brings me back. I grew up in Atlanta after moving there in '98 as a kid. My dad worked for Delta and all of our extended family was in California, so we'd fly out there a few times a year. Seeing the way this airport was back in 01 as well as the onboard experience (from the upholstery to the drop-down CRTs and Delta Horizons) is just bringing back a ton of memories from this era. Thanks for having the foresight to document all this for us.
Great trip report on Delta from 2001 ATL to CMH. All those older liveries and aircraft. Great to see the L-1011 and the 727-200. I look forward to seeing the other trip reports.
I grew up in the northeastern US in the 90s and early 2000s, and my family would fly down to visit our relatives in the south or to WDW in Florida about once or twice a year. Then in 2003, we moved to Florida, and since we could now easily drive all the places we used to fly, I didn't get on a plane again until 2018. So it's always a nostalgia trip to see all the old liveries and airlines that aren't around anymore in videos from around that time. Thanks for uploading!
Flying today is a lot safer then it was back in those days. If I was 30 years old back in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s I wouldn't want to step a foot on an airplane. Maybe planes were a lot more comfortable but the they were flying coffins back then and pilot trainings were not as advanced and as effective as now. Some training methods was questionable at best. Look at what happened to American airlines 587. The copilot kept playing with the rudder until it broke off and the plane fail and crashed into a neighborhood.
@@vintagetriplex3728 Flying coffins is a bit of an exaggeration. Flying was still incredibly safe back then. Yes, safety continues to improve, but it wasn't like you were at significant risk anytime you took a flight somewhere.
@@l3ubba308Agree! My first airline flight was a Delta “Stretch” DC-8 (no idea which version) in 1969, ATL-JFK-ATL. Even had a job for a while, later, that required a *lot* of air travel. To say it wasn’t safe and the pilots weren’t trained well is ludicrous. Much safer than driving!
I just remember wanting to ride the elevator they had when I was a kid, lol. They had a galley in the belly and used the lifts to get people and the meal carts up and down.
Loved riding in that plane! Flew in an almost empty 1011 SFO-ATL once. Folded up arm rests on a row of middle seats and slept on a plane the only time until I got an upgrade to a fold-flat seat on a trans-Atlantic flight one time. L-1011 was a great plane, just not economical enough for the airlines… ☹️
WOAH. This is awesome. I love all the older (at that time still old) aircraft. The only retro experience I have gotten was on Southwest and that was when they were transitioning from the Canyon Blue livery to whatever it is now. Also the fact that this is before you know what. Thanks for sharing :)
Please upload more if you have it! I was born in 2000 and appreciate this piece of history. I remember going on this flight from Columbus to Atlanta back in May 2007 (we were off to Orlando for a Disney cruise). I remember the 'overhead monitors' on airplanes as late as 2015 (a Delta 757 in June 2015 from San Diego to Detroit, round trip). I am also a U2 fan thanks to my mom, so I definitely sent her the clip right before the "Beautiful Day" music video began at 13:45. I must say I really miss the Sky Magazine and other in flight magazines airlines used to offer. COVID was the main culprit for them going away obviously but I think even if COVID didn't happen they would have been gone by 2025. Relic of a bygone era in aviation sadly.
Yep! It's in a bit fancier of a configuration today, though. If I remember right, this plane brought the Cavs home from winning their NBA title in 2016.
@@JetWithJSMy brother keeps all those 757s flying. Delta uses them a lot as charters for various sports teams in different leagues, in various configurations.
Man. Back when I was 4….back when my father used to work for NW airlines when they had a maintenance base in ATL….back when we lived in Stockbridge GA….we would all go to Hartsfield Jackson early when dropping dad off for a business trip and we would ride that train back and forth before his flight and a little bit afterwards.
Some high school friends & I went to ATL to ride that train in 1980 right after the new (now, current) terminal layout was opened. Even though you could normally go through security without a boarding pass then, you couldn’t late at night; when we went! LOL Had to wait until morning…
Back at a time when you can go to the airport and even if you were dropping someone off or picking some one up the whole family can be waiting with you or for you at the gate and possibly have a meal before you depart.
i remember my dad taking me to watch planes take off at the terminal when i was a baby…right at the gate, while people were boarding and departing. crazy to think about now. i also remember my grandpa just walking up to the gate to buy a ticket on a flight literally an hour before take off.
Not sure how old or young you are, but pre September 11th you can go with your family to the airport and go through security to wait with someone at the gate before they depart OR wait at the gate for someone to arrive
@@vdubproductions2646 I only have experience with a couple of airports then (Napoli & Gatwick) but I think it applied to all of them. Only people flying would pass through security - there was never any suggestion that family members also could. When you arrived there was a railing all the family members and cab drivers would lean over to say Hi
Flown with a Delta Boeing 767-200 in the Ron Allen livery the last time in 1999 from JFK to Frankfurt and then did not manage to fly DL until 2022 (on an Airbus A320) and 2024 (same route on the 767-400 rare bird). The airline changed. Somehow I flew much more on United, Air Canada, Lufthansa.
The 747's aren't completely gone. There are still some airline companies that are still using the new 747-8 like Lufthansa, Asiana Airlines, Korean Airlines (4:27) and many more. So they're not completely gone yet.
Very cool. My younger brother was working on the P&W 2000 Series engines Delta (and many others) use in their 757-200 & -300s. Still does, right there at their Technical Operations Center at ATL.
I've spent my whole life in Atlanta, and have flown to DFW & Love Field out of Hartsfield-Jackson on Delta numerous times. Thank you for having old footage of the Plane Train, as they got rid of the "robotic" voices around 2013. I have a video of the Plane Train from October 2011 that I'd quite like to find on the hard drive of my old iMac someday (along with plenty of other goofy videos I made when I was in middle school). Cheers!
Ah yes. CMH. Absolutely love that place. I’ve flown out of gates C49-50 many times on Breeze airways and Delta Airlines. Also have flown out of the new C56.

This is one of the reasons I was excited to share this video! It was a different world, but I missed out on an era myself (everything before the mid '90s).
CMH my home airport. Outside of the facelift in the ticketing area and 28L being moved further out from the terminal to allow Tandem arrivals and departures not much has changed. They have started teasing a whole new CMH that would open in like 2029
@@JetWithJS Same, and CMH is my home airport too. It is interesting seeing that concourse C has not changed much. Also, all the Southwest flights are now in concourse A. Thanks for posting this though, 757s hardly show up at CMH although we get A321s regularly from American now. Its cool seeing what CMH was like back then.
Just did a quick search: N652DL (the 757 featured in this video) is still actively in service with Delta. This past December I photographed her fleet sister N650DL another 757 from this era also still in service with Delta.
Wow, just stumbled upon this. So odd but kinda cool to see a trip report style vlog sorta thing from so long ago, and I know people have said this already but wow, a pre-9/11 one too. That's nuts. Based on your age you provided in the description, I was a bit younger than you in 2001 and I flew a lot too when I was younger (family took me w/ them in their travels and whatnot). Wish I had something like this! I didn't have my first digital cam until Post-9/11 though so there was no way for me to have anything on record. Interesting that they let you into the cockpit.
They were OK with letting kids into the cockpit even after 9/11. I asked permission to film, though, as that wasn't fully approved for takeoff and landing, though.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! We (myself and 11 others from my school) were there when it was abnormally cold for March and the sleeping tubes made a chilly start and end to the day. The food was good, though!
If Delta didn’t nuke their Skymiles program, then I’d be absolutely loyal to them. I travel on short haul international flights all the time and I can’t even access their lounges anymore with them unless I sign up for their credit card that gives access (which I’m not going to do because that’s another bill I don’t want to have to worry about).

Thank you for sharing this! A world I didn’t get to experience, I was only a few months old at the time of this video !
We all have one of those eras. Glad I was able to show you this one!
Man, this is so damn cool. This is the era of aviation that I so dearly wish I got to live in. Thank you for this
CMH my home airport. Outside of the facelift in the ticketing area and 28L being moved further out from the terminal to allow Tandem arrivals and departures not much has changed. They have started teasing a whole new CMH that would open in like 2029
It's strange seeing what today are Gates C51-56 not being there, though.
@@JetWithJS Same, and CMH is my home airport too. It is interesting seeing that concourse C has not changed much. Also, all the Southwest flights are now in concourse A. Thanks for posting this though, 757s hardly show up at CMH although we get A321s regularly from American now. Its cool seeing what CMH was like back then.
oh the good old times of air travel when it wasn't worse. If only if it comes back with the work of a time machine
Oh, the avgeek things I would do with a time machine.😂
Just did a quick search: N652DL (the 757 featured in this video) is still actively in service with Delta. This past December I photographed her fleet sister N650DL another 757 from this era also still in service with Delta.
the calm before the storm.
Ha, you're not kidding.
wow I had no idea that 757s used to operate to CMH, they biggest planes they use there these days are a321s
Delta last used them regularly around 2018. You'll occasionally see them subbed for other aircraft.
this is so awesome dude thank you for the upload
Glad you enjoyed it!
L1011❤, amazing documents. Thanks for the video. Greetings from Argentina
Many thanks!
I did space academy in 97 and 98 once in April and the next year in February… it was coooldd in Feb!
There was a group who came from Hawaii and some only brought shorts. It was in the 20s at night!
Wow, just stumbled upon this.
So odd but kinda cool to see a trip report style vlog sorta thing from so long ago, and I know people have said this already but wow, a pre-9/11 one too. That's nuts. Based on your age you provided in the description, I was a bit younger than you in 2001 and I flew a lot too when I was younger (family took me w/ them in their travels and whatnot). Wish I had something like this! I didn't have my first digital cam until Post-9/11 though so there was no way for me to have anything on record. Interesting that they let you into the cockpit.
They were OK with letting kids into the cockpit even after 9/11. I asked permission to film, though, as that wasn't fully approved for takeoff and landing, though.
Also a time when your family or friends could go past security and watch you board at the gate.
Great video and a blast from the past! I'm sorry you didn't enjoy Space Academy though. I went in 1995 and had a great time!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! We (myself and 11 others from my school) were there when it was abnormally cold for March and the sleeping tubes made a chilly start and end to the day. The food was good, though!
Delta is still flying those 757s. Its a rocketship
Nice video! What sort of camera was used for this?
Canon ZR10.
Amazing video! Became ur 198th sub!
That's a milestone number you'll remember!
@@JetWithJS Yessir!
Love this! Pls upload more old vids
Several to come- stay tuned!
amazing
Thanks
Yes. Now the only place to see one is at the Delta Museum at the Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta.
Wow before 9/11!
Yep! Interesting to look back at how things were just a few months before the world changed.
@@JetWithJS I love this kinda stuff look how civilized we were. Not a pronoun insight. 😆
Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed- more to come!
Atlanta Every time Atlanta nice video
This is awesome
the fire alarm went off (insert skull emoji)
It's actually a door alarm luckily but i'm not sure
If Delta didn’t nuke their Skymiles program, then I’d be absolutely loyal to them. I travel on short haul international flights all the time and I can’t even access their lounges anymore with them unless I sign up for their credit card that gives access (which I’m not going to do because that’s another bill I don’t want to have to worry about).
And yet, that same exact 757 N652DL is still in service for Delta.
In a much cushier role, no less!
March 2001 I was 5 months old
I was 13 and a half.
Got any more videos like this?
More to come- stay tuned!
Wow this is very old
Did people back then knew the term vlog?😂
When 727s were still in use
March 2001... This was filmed before I was born... I was born August of that year.
A 737-200 was operated by the “Delta Express” carrier?!
Yep- the entire DLX FLEET were 737-200s!
make another one back in early 2000 at lax terminal 5
Unfortunately, I don't have anything from LAX.
They still promoted their credit cards back then, interesting
Some things never change.
This plane is STILL flying for delta.
Atlanta airport is in the process of expanding terminal D. Nice video. Haven't seen a L1011 in a while.
I'll be curious to see it when it's done given it's the narrowest (as it wasn't originally meant to be a connecting concourse).
@@JetWithJS they assembling the modules outside of the airport near the cargo terminal. Once complete next week, they will move it across the runways into the airport and hook it together to minimize impact on airport operations 🤓
Look at all those Maddogs and 727s!!!
If you like that, you'll like the next couple videos I have lined up!
