20 MINS of INCREDIBLE Plane Spotting at WASHINGTON D.C Reagan National Airport [DCA/KDCA]

Featured Aircraft: A319s, A320s, A321s, B737s, B757s, CRJ200s, CRJ500s, CRJ700s, E175s & E190s!
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport serves the capital of the USA and due to its proximity to the city centre, it is the proffered airport to fly into when flying into Washington. The Airport is built into water but has some incredibly photogenic photography and videography locations around it, my favourite being the one you see in the thumbnail.
Of course, no DCA video is complete without the centreline action. This airport is widely known for its down the runway footage and I hope I have done the spot justice. I only spent a short amount of time at DCA and chose to focus more on Washington Dulles airport, but I do have one more DCA video in the works focusing entirely on centreline action!

Those head on shots are just majestic, the mirage effect on the runway, LOVE IT!

[@AviationVideography]

I love that you can see congress in the back of some of those landing clips. One of the best DCA videos I’ve seen, good job mate as expected

[@Your_Local_Nerd]

Even the monument at 13:05

[@jocelynharris-fx8ho]

I love how one of the runways is so close to a parking lot. In the 1980's, when I lived in Colorado Springs, I'd make the 1 1/2 hour drive up to Stapleton Airport in Denver ,grab some food from a local reataurant , pull into the parking lot of an abandoned restaurant near the east/west runway and sit there for hours watching the planes. It was one of the most enjoyable memories of my life ; having met other aviation enthusiasts. Over time, HUNDREDS of people discovered this special spot, which made it heartbreaking when Stapleton closed, only to be replaced by Denver International. DIA is a beautiful terminal but I miss Stapleton ; it truly captured the beauty of aviation and in my heart, it can't be replaced.😢

[@ChrisZoomER]

Oh my gosh, my home country! So glad you got to see the domestic planes I’m used to spotting! Even the regional jets sound like rockets around here!

[@CrownMeBob]

I’m within about an 1 hour of DCA, IAD and BWI. I’m so glad to see my local airport being featured!

[@KjosephB]

Grew up 10min from there and loved going to gravely point and watch the planes. The old days were the best with the 727’s and MD-80’s

[@rodmunch7278]

And that's exactly why I pulled up this vid; to reminisce back to the summers of '93 and '94. I'd go from Haines Point to Gravelly point chasing after 727s, MD-80s, 757s, Fokker 100s and Dash-7/8s.
When exhausted, I'd walk all the way back to Union Station to catch the metro. Do it all again first thing in the morning. You come out of that chilly Union Station to a warm, pleasant D.C. air. Whilst facing the Capitol, you can hear the thunder of reverse thrust at National. I've got a lonnnng trek from here to the Point. May as well stop by the Air and Space Museum on the way...

[@KjosephB]

@@rodmunch7278 those were the day, I had a day wear a 727 was landing just overhead at gravely point and as he was right over top of us, they executed a go around and my God it was like nothing I’ve ever felt before you could feel it in your whole body vibrating it was so loud

[@Roboseal2]

I love the head on shots! With the very high bypass engines you can see the reverse thrust doors move from inside!

[@HDMelbourneAviation]

I love them too!

[@FlyingHigh_Aviation]

Fabulous one mate! Love those head-on shots!

[@JelmersAviation]

[@peterrahill9263]

[@cbwplanespotting2599]

Excellent Washington DC plane spotting.

[@kenhuang8789]

影視拍的很棒👍👍👍👏👏👏........, 謝謝您的提供和分享🙏！

[@Paulhilvert]

Great stuff Matt 👍

[@01MikeD]

👍Awesome👍

[@abrdds]

You were at Hains Point, and Graveley Point …cool… your shots from the south end will be history if the Caps/ Wizards get their new arena there. Years ago, a DC 10 had to make an emergency landing at National ( ran out of gas ). They claim upwards of 20k people clogged the area to watch it depart😂😂… cool video ❤

[@PrajwalGM.]

Awesome 😍.... ❤ From India 🇮🇳

[@humanity941]

fantastic

[@user-cx7yr1ct8t]

[@elmehdiboumlic6565]

👍👍👍👍

[@RmanTheGreat]

Hi would I be able to use your videos from my TikTok page?and if so do I have to ask each time or can I use it freely,thanks

[@20gravedigger11]

What was up with the DCA to BWI flight at 2:08? I didn't even think that existed.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Washington - Baltimore, flight time 15 minutes? That's gotta be an empty positioning flight, hasn't it?

[@Silvercat2343]

1:10 JetBlue A320 not Delta

[@Dah_Boi_Dude_Bros_45]

1:20 is JetBlue not delta

[@kaimeier8528]
