    Alright, taking the big Triple 7 to Miami! Let's go!
    1:24 I don't recall ever being on a Triple 7, but the interior looks awesome! Big and lovely!
    3:32 What carrier is that going down the taxiway? The tail doesn't look familiar at all!
    4:09 The ERJ preps to go as one comes in to land and another is in the distance. Busy, busy, busy in Texas! Nothing new to me.
    5:39 I noticed how the flap directing the engine thrust adjusted down as it went to full throttle for takeoff, only to point back up for a moment and then down again. Then as y'all left the ground, it went with the turning of the plane...It never ceases to amaze me how far aviation has come to perform its best! Directing thrust exhaust based on turn direction! Amazing!
    8:00 I love the big wings as much as the next airplane junkie, but can't really see much down below. Oh, well. The machine has to have what it needs.
    8:59 WHEW!! Now, that's a cool turning view! Also, I want to say that airport down below was Dallas Love Field (DAL), but I can't be sure. Knowing that y'all took off from Runway 17R makes me think y'all were high enough and not that far away from the airport to see it.
    10:34 Ah, pretzels and soda. Nice snack for this relatively short flight (long to me is 3+ hours).
    11:37 I have to ask: Does AA, or any airline for that matter, have the planes regularly washed to get rid of the dirt and grime like what I see on the wing there? Just wondering... I know it's not like taking it to the nearest Car Wash or anything, but does that ever happen?
    14:12 Spoilers up.....descent approaching or just a brief slow-down?
    15:18 Nice patch of clouds against the setting sun.
    22:44 Mighty big flaps for a mighty big bird!
    25:22 Man, I had my headphones on, and I couldn't even tell if the reversers were on at all. I'm pretty sure they were working upon touch, but I can usually hear them when they're on. Then again, very big bird....very big fuselage to absorb sounds.
    27:01 Ooooh....mood lights in the cabin. Neat-o!
    28:00 Hang on! Am I seeing this correctly? Miami has a ground transportation system identical to DFW's Skylink?
    Sweet flight all the way, man! Very cool to see the big Triple 7 from the inside! By the way, I saw that you switched jobs. If you're ever around IAH or HOU, give me a shout-out, alright? Safe travels, my friend!

      SFAPowerhouse The Plane taxiing at 3:32 is an American Airlines a319 with the special America West livery (I believe it was an old airline that isn't around anymore).

      @mooutlaws32 7 лет назад +2

      David Morrison you're correct. America West was acquired by US Airways.

      Alright! I finally had time to sit down and get this all written down :D.
      At 1:24 yes the 777s are quite roomy inside compared to narrow body aircraft.
      At 3:32, as others have already mentioned, that is one of American's heritage liveries. This one is for America West Airlines.
      At 4:09 yes indeed! There are always plenty of ERJs to be seen at DFW.
      At 5:39 that particular part is called a flaperon. It is effectively a hybrid between a flap and a aileron. As you already noted it has several different jobs to do, and does indeed showcase how far aviation has come.
      At 8:00 yes it would have been just a bit better if I was just a bit farther back, but it turned out ok.
      At 8:59 I'm not 100% sure what airport that is, but I can tell you that it is not Dallas Love. Dallas Love has a fairly large terminal, and doesn't have any water around it. That must be a mostly general aviation airport.
      At 10:34 I always hope the flight attendant gives me the option to have cookies or pretzels. I always choose the cookies. Not on this flight unfortunately. Pretzels had to do.
      At 11:37 you've asked a question that I really don't know the answer to. I know airlines to have their planes washed. I don't particularly know how often. The airlines always say "that plane ins't making money if it's on the ground." If you reference back to my previous video here: ruclips.net/video/JOTAsKeiBsA/видео.html&list=PL6poUgHngiIE-WExG3CP0alHh4zqYZfYt&index=2 at 4:20 you can see a 777 being washed. But you can imagine how long that would take... Like I said before. It isn't making money there... So yes they do wash them. Probably not very often though.
      At 14:12 yes we had started our decent at that point, so they were shedding off some of that speed.
      At 22:44 yes big flaps, and a flaperon hard at work.
      At 25:22 I don't remember for sure if they did or did not use them on this flight, but by watching the entire roll out I'm not sure they ever used them. They may have deployed them, but the engines may have just been at idle. They may not have throttled the engines up. DFW-MIA is a very short flight for a 777, so it would've been very light when we landed. The pilots may have decided to save some fuel, and wear on the engines.
      At 28:00 it is very similar to DFW's, but ins't quite the same. In my opinion DFW's is much better. Again for reference if you want to see my video here: ruclips.net/video/ohMdoQGhL4I/видео.html from 3:25-3:28 is filmed from the train at MIA.
      Thanks for watching my friend! I did switch jobs. Still working in aviation, but no longer for American. So hopefully the airlines I fly on the Inflight Series will be a little more varied now :D. If I am ever going to be in HOU or IAH i'll be sure to let you know. Thanks again man!

    • @sla31
      @sla31  6 лет назад +1

      Very cool isn't it. That piece is called a flaperon because it is a mix between a flap and an aileron. Thanks for watching!

      I like it. I enjoy flying on the 767/777/787 on domestic flights. They have more room (not necessarily the seats) but overall the cabins are much roomier. It takes longer to board and deplane though. Thanks for watching my friend!

      Thanks man! The nice thing about DFW-MIA is American usually has come wide bodies running that route everyday. 763s and 772s. It's hard to find domestic wide body flights. Thanks for watching!

      @Leeann Jacket hmmm... I know that they’re often re positioned but they sell tickets on the re positioning flights

  •  6 лет назад +2

    That's a pretty big jet to use on such a short flight. I wonder if that's just a repositioning flight. Was it full?

    • @sla31
      @sla31  6 лет назад +3

      It's definitely not always the case, but it's also not uncommon to see American running wide body aircraft between their hubs. American runs 772s, 773s, 788s, and 789s on routes like DFW-LAX, DFW-ORD, DFW-MIA, LAX-MIA, and more. Now, is this purely because they need to reposition the aircraft for another international flight? Or do they just need that many seats going between their hubs? Both could be true. Obviously, if they need to reposition the aircraft it makes more sense to fly it with passengers than to fly it empty. Honestly, I would bet it's probably a little bit of both. The aircraft probably needs to be repositioned either way, but as the largest airline in the world, it also makes sense that they'd need a large number of seats going between hubs. Recently I have flown DFW-MIA twice on a 772, DFW-ORD on a 788, DFW-LAX on a 789, and LAX-MIA on a 773. All of these flights have been full. Thanks for watching my friend!

      This video is 7 years old. I've improved my technique greatly since this was filmed... Also, at the time, I worked for American, so I flew as a non-revenue passenger, which meant I was lucky to even get a window. I didn't get to pick where I sat. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy this one, but perhaps you'd enjoy may new videos where I don't sit directly over the wing. I post two new videos every day.
