andrew lane When I was living on Kauai, HI and United Airlines started to fly directly to Kauai from Los Angeles around 1982 or 1983, United started out with the sleek DC-8’s for about a year or so then the DC-8’s got replaced by the DC-10 and that probably lasted for maybe until the mid to late 90’s, then United replaced the DC-10’s to Kauai with the 757-200’s and 737-800’s with additional flights from LAX, SFO, and Denver, more major airlines like American flying directly to Kauai with the 757-200 from PHX and the A321 or sometimes the 757-200 from LAX, Delta Airlines between Seattle to Kauai and LAX to Kauai with the 757-200’s, seasonal West Jet and Air Canada between Vancouver B.C. 737-800’s and 737 Max 8, Hawaiian Airlines A321 between LAX, Oakland, and Kauai
I flew into Honolulu in 2005. Even as recently as then that airport was crawling with 3-holers. There were tons of DC-10s, MD-11s, L1011s, and aloha's 737-200s. Times really have changed.
That computer guy aka Aryan ATA was still flying around DC-10's and L1011's at that time, Omni Air International had DC-10's back then, and so did Northwest. Also KLM had their MD-11's. Plus there were all of the cargo operators as well. There's more I'm forgetting but those were the ones I can remember off the top of my head.
@@97I30T 05' is the first year I went to Hawaii as a child; seemed like the 3 holers had been replaced by 747s for everyone aside from ATA and NWA. Got to try out America West for the first time on the PHX-HNL leg. Shame all that is no more
1:06 - 1:47 min in the video are absolutely perfect! takes me back to the days of plentiful widebody aircraft flying all-round the country. i miss those days...especially as a non-rev employee!!
Such a unique mix of the original widebody crew and a few later gen widebodies, and to hear the differences in sound of them (P/W,RR, GE) at takeoff power back to back makes it even better!!!!
I remember back in the day when you could go to the gates and I was in LAX and the Delta L10lls pulled right up to the window; man those were the days.
@@tedpittsinger9688 I loved all the United liveries until they gained the delusion that they're the new Continental (the globe livery belongs only on Continental).

Back in March 1997 for the first leg of our family's trip to the Philippines from Houston, TX we flew on a CO DC-10 from IAH - LAX, only that this DC-10 had "Continental Micronesia" on the fuselage. For our LAX to GMP we flew on Korean Air 747-400, but couldn't land at Gimpo as scheduled due to heavy fog; got diverted to a US airport lower south of South Korea. That meant we missed our connecting flight from Gimpo to Manila; since most of the passengers on that Korean Air flight from LAX to GMP were filipinos, PAL (Philippine Airlines) was able to fly in one of their aircraft (it was one of their MD-11) to GMP to pick us up and get us to Manila (nearly 10 hours behind scheduled). It was a real treat to be able to fly on the outbound legs two tri-engined classics (DC-10, MD-11) as well as the unforgettable 747-400! Plus, for our trip from Manila to Baguio City (our final destination) we flew on Asian Spirit de Havilland Canada Dash-7, and then on returning to Manila we flew on PAL's Fokker 50 aircraft.
There is still a good amount of airplane diversity at Honolulu, still plenty of 767s and 777s, a lot more A321s, and 737s too. Also A330s and 757s as well.
As a kid I would stay up all night in my moms 24th floor apartment in Waikiki watching the planes take off from the reef runway and try and tell where they were going based on what direction they would take after take off. Thanks for the memories!
My roommate, as well as my landlord had boats. We'd launch at the Sand Island ramp, and go cruising around the Reef runway. One day, we headed to Waikiki, (why, I don't know, that place is a PIT) we were escorted by about 200 Spinner Dolphins! At any given time, 5 or 10 in the air! Again, wish I had brought a camera! steve
I was stationed on Honolulu when I was in the Army. I used to love to go onto Hickam AFB to have a front row seat to see these big birds fly. This was in the early 1990's
The memories!!! I use to love all the cool remix designs of Airliners, especially JAPAN AIRLINES. Great Memories! Great Post! Very Nostalgic. I use to post up Lagoon Drive before 9-11 every weekend as a kid and watch planes.
Really miss the classics. You always have the best footages of the best times in aviation. Miss the old United 747 classics especially the 100’s. By this time since Delta retired the L-1011 the following year, you could tell it was getting old. How time flys. Keep up the vids. Absolutely amazing
Interesting, lots of DC-10s and 747s (including a rare 747-300), but only one passenger 777 (Korean Air) and one A330 (Canada 3000). Now it's the opposite, these two twinjet types rule the long-haul market.
I've only been to Honolulu once, and that was in January 2001, and this is certainly how I remember it, good old 747's, DC10's, MD11's and the plucky 737-200 on Aloha flights! Superb video, so many good memories caught on tape! :D
I love this video so much. So many great memories. I used to sit at the top floor of long term parking on my lunch breaks and just watch the planes...before 9-11, I'd have lunch in the airport (and visit the museum before it closed down). I miss the L-1011's. I've flown on ATA's Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays and Delta's L-1011's quite a few times. It's not quite the same without ATA, Aloha Airlines, Continental, L-1011's and DC-10's.
That museum was my theme park as a kid. If i did good in school, my Dad, or Grandpa would take me and I'd get to get one model plane. The Best!!! Very Nostalgic even till this day. I'm 28 now, i was into planes since birth. Still am. Great comment!
There are a few airlines that no longer exists and some got absorbed by existing airlines, continental and NW are an example, the DC-10’s are a thing of the past with the major airlines, the last time I’ve flown in a DC-10 was back in July 2000 when I moved to WA from HI, it was a shiny silver Hawaiian 🌺 Airlines DC-10 which I think was a former American Airlines DC-10.
I think I might have flown on that L1011 from ATA, I used to fly then a lot back & forth to Honolulu from 2000 till they closed shop..L1011 Tristar my fave Jet..😁
These DC-10 sure bring back memories - I remember taking a Northwest DC-10-30 to Honolulu from the west coast in 2005. I think it was one of the last flights with NWA before they retired them.
Amazing to think a majority of them are in a desert somewhere being scrapped for parts, torn apart or being moth-balled for storage. Long ago I was that kid wooing at the site of these majestic beasts. Long live L1011’s, DC10’S/MD11’s, B747’s and B777’s. Hats off for your service.
Back when you would see more iconic planes like the DC-10 and the 747 classics in Honolulu.Flying on them would have made a Hawaii trip even more exciting
I still have your old Las Vegas 2001 spotting tape that I got for christmas almost 15 years ago! In fact, that's where the interest in the AW Ohio 757 on my profile picture came from. You guys did a really good job for a ton of the shots!
I remember my first trip off of Oahu, and it was on a Delta L-1011 in 1985. The takeoff was stunning because I had a window seat on the starboard side, and could see the ocean as we took off the reef runway. And as we climbed, we banked sharply and I looked down to see the shoreline, waves, swimmers, paddlers, and boats. Within minutes, we were enveloped in white clouds, and I lowered the window cover to block the light so we can watch the movie. It felt like only a couple of hours later and already we were descending over LA. I raised the window cover and saw people washing their cars. I even could read the license plates. Just as it seemed we were landing onto some neighborhood street, we crossed a fence line and over the runway. Our plane landed so smoothly that I didn't even feel the wheels touching the tarmac -- the only sensation was the aburt deceleration as the reverse thrusters engaged. The whole cabin applauded that landing. Wow! Amazing takeoff and landing that are memorable to this day. This video was made 16 years later, in 2001, yet I can't even recall my one trip that year. I had to check my notes to see that I had flown Aloha Airlines, round-trip between HNL and SNA. On my last trip this year, I went to Ireland and Alaska, and I don't remember much about those flights, except watching from my window seat several F-22s take off from Hickam.
bellos aviones,,,MD11 y DC10- 15 y 30 y los jumbos b747-300 y 200 la aviacion que dejo de existir en pasajeros ,,, muy diferente los aviones de hoy puro 737 y 320 guacala
Non-Stop 747's, Tri ***'s & 10's! When you get my age, 2000 seems like yesterday. But,OMG, it's 20 years go, when Continental had that beautiful livery, & United was butt ugly!
OK, I used to deliver flowers to the various airlines, to ship to the "mainland" and other places. One day, driving past the inter-island terminal, I saw that Hawaiian Air silver fuselage DC-10 (leased from American airlines) parked on the ramp. There was a rainbow, that went from #1 wingtip to the #3 wingtip! (American, and a few other companies, wanted unpainted aluminum, where possible. Yes, it is MUCH harder to make "silver Skin" aircraft.) I wish I had had a camera! Back story, before I was shipping flowers, I was building MD-11s. (Yes, that FedEx take off got my attention. I could have worked on it.) About 6 minutes in, the KAL Md-11 taking off, 50% chance I did the electrical install on the #1 (left side) engine. Working on the East Ramp, in Long beach DAC, I was sitting on the wing, at the leading edge, while the engine crew was removing that motor. They said, I needed to move away from the edge, for a few minutes, while the did their stuff. A SERIOUS LOUD bang, from under the wing. Only thing that kept me from being launched airborne, was "pucker factor." I was "picking underwear" out, for a few days. Felt like I was sitting on a table, and someone hit the underside, with a sledgehammer. All the BUMs (Business Unit Managers) poured out of the East Ramp office, and were GLARING at me. "Hey, I didn't do a thing! I'm working on electrical installation. steve
After UAL and Delta. No more U.S. carriers will have the 747-400 in passenger service by 2018. I miss the Tristar and the DC-10. But not seeing the 747 around airports is going to be difficult adjustment.
wow 3:15 i never seen that airline ever ever r the sky service one wat kind of plain was that delta had at 6:28? wow and the delta at 8:40 wat kind was it?
The first wide body aircraft I was on, was a DC10 in mid 90`s from Oslo to Heraklion. Sad to see that they are all gone now. But I have to admit that the newer 787 and A350 are better.
I don’t think I can watch this video in one sitting to think about what’s going on in front of my eyes. Less than 19 years ago and the only twinjets in sight here are a couple of 777s and an A330. Even if narrowbodies were included you’d probably only see Hawaiian DC-9s and Aloha 737-200s. I visited HNL in 2015 and the only trijets in sight sat over at the FedEx hangar. The rest was tepid twinjet soup, sprinkled with Air Force jets. We’ll reminisce of the present day in another 19 years when even these holdouts are at Victorville.
_At least 30 percent if not more of the original DC10(MD10), and MD11s manufactured are still flying cargo. A majority of the those jets are in the liveries of FedEx, and UPS. Safe to say the jet's design has been around for almost 50 years!_
That KAL 777 @1:56 is still in active service today. A real workhorse.
Its last flight was on March 2, 2020 from Seoul-Gimpo to Busan.
The best days of aviation. There are no beauties like these anymore.
The kid in background "whoaing" in amazement after every rotation
And in their mid twenties now. It would be cool if that kid became an airline pilot.
wooooooooow its fing wowair
miss the days of the DC10/MD 11.. L1011.. 737.. classic 747.. exc exc. .the dc8!! 707!! the classic 767-200!!

Man I miss the old American and United liveries :(
I still love that Tulip.
The old American livery was absolutely gorgeous. American Airlines just doesn’t look like American Airlines anymore.
Yes the new American livery is ok- but that raw metallic look of the old AA was great when it reflected the sunlight just right.
American, yes! United, no! (My opinion only! And, ya know what they say about opinions.) :)
@@tedpittsinger9688 I loved all the United liveries until they gained the delusion that they're the new Continental (the globe livery belongs only on Continental).

That engine roar was amazing
They are the Best !
Wide body aircraft and HAWAII, NOTHING BETTER

Daniel Drayet why
How so?

UAL was still using 747-100 in 2001? talk about an oldie!
good eye on ua 747-100 but.. remember that not all the 3 windows were 100s.. likely it was actually a 200.. I miss the classics !!
Never knew that! I always thought the 3 windows were only -100
There's a -100s with more than three window configuraton
I thot only pan am had the 100
I knew that not all 10 windows were 200s (as many airlines added the 10 windows to their 100s), but I didn't know that all 3 windows were not 100s.
At 3:15 was ATA (American Trans Air), they went out of business in 2008. At 6:28 was a L1011-1 and at 8:40 was a 767-400 :)

Any videos of Song, Delta’s counter to JetBlue?
Surprised that UA was still flying a 747-100 in 2000!
I wish i was around back then
Remind me why some of the DC-10's have the extra main gear. And there's nothing like the growl of Her Majesty taking off.
After UAL and Delta. No more U.S. carriers will have the 747-400 in passenger service by 2018. I miss the Tristar and the DC-10. But not seeing the 747 around airports is going to be difficult adjustment.
6:20 You could just see how old the Delta L-1011 was with just looking at the paint.
My wife flew on the last AA DC-10 to HNL. Sometime in 2000.
I love dc 10
8:18 the first St. Maarten style departure from 19 years ago!
Always that right hand turn when using the 'Reef Runway'
Airliners deserve 3 engines.
all DC-10s right besides the 747?
whooooooaaaa was the first appproach the LDA runway 26L?
korean air has not changed
wow 3:15 i never seen that airline ever ever r the sky service one wat kind of plain was that delta had at 6:28? wow and the delta at 8:40 wat kind was it?
I wonder why polar air cargo has lot of windows like passenger plane rather than cargo plane
Damn so much Trijets, all I see now in Honolulu are twinjets
I hate twin jets they all look the same....blaaaaah
All on the scrapheap now, crews too.
Was that United 747 early in the video a -100? If so I had no clue they painted them in the Battleship Gray.
3:43 what the hell came out or was ingested in that #1 engine of the COA DC-10???
The first wide body aircraft I was on, was a DC10 in mid 90`s from Oslo to Heraklion. Sad to see that they are all gone now. But I have to admit that the newer 787 and A350 are better.
Until the early 2000's, many dc-10s were surviving
2:59 thats a 747-400D! Those are pretty rare
they were only built for ANA and JAL
It isn't; the 400D has a double upper deck. That's a 200.
I don’t think I can watch this video in one sitting to think about what’s going on in front of my eyes. Less than 19 years ago and the only twinjets in sight here are a couple of 777s and an A330. Even if narrowbodies were included you’d probably only see Hawaiian DC-9s and Aloha 737-200s. I visited HNL in 2015 and the only trijets in sight sat over at the FedEx hangar. The rest was tepid twinjet soup, sprinkled with Air Force jets. We’ll reminisce of the present day in another 19 years when even these holdouts are at Victorville.
I always loved the L 10-11 more than the DC-10 . It was designed better
Very very long ago
Some of these planes don’t fly anymore
Some airlines don’t exist
L 1011 n DC 10 or MD 11 all gone
JAL 747 no more flying
There is actually cargo DC-10s and MD-11s, an Orbis flying hospital, which is either a DC-10 or an MD-11, and an L-1011 used for spacecraft launches.
MD 11 is flying for FedEx
_At least 30 percent if not more of the original DC10(MD10), and MD11s manufactured are still flying cargo. A majority of the those jets are in the liveries of FedEx, and UPS. Safe to say the jet's design has been around for almost 50 years!_
I flew on the same ATA L1011 pleasant holidays Hawaii billboard colors to honolulu back in 2001 when i was 5yrs old same plane as in 8:00
Some Lockheed L-1011's :)
