Good to see you my friend. Man, when you get a chance to catch up are there some awesome flights to go through now 😂. Hey, busy isn't always bad. Sometimes it's good to stay busy. Watch when you can my friend. I appreciate you stopping by, and I hope you end up on some good flights next year!
I am as far as the channel is concerned. I have one more trip here in about a week to Seattle and back, and I will film the flights, but the trip is not specifically for the channel.
Runway 22R faces south, so at least you had that momentum. Just kidding, obviously! Nice video, crappy day for flying. I once landed at Newark when the winds were howling from the west, so we landed on 29. In a 747. I couldn’t believe it.
I too have landed at EWR when the winds were howling, but they were from the east. It was a fun ride on an A321-200N. Would've been even more fun on a 747. Either way, we really got to watch the pilots earn their keep on that one. Thanks for watching my friend!
How do you film an aircraft taking off using your phone, do you use airplane mode or something? Or do you take permission from the cabin crew? Sorry for the stupid question.
I always say, there's no stupid question here my friend. I'm always happy to answer questions. So, there's really two parts to your question here. First is the rules around filming on planes and whether I ask for permission or not. And the second part is more about the way I go about doing it with iPhones. Let's tackle the second part first as it's less complex. Yes, I film everything with iPhones, but the "phone" part doesn't really apply the way I use them. I have iPhones that I've bought specifically to film flights with. I do not ever use them for anything else. They stay powered off and in a carrying case until I'm flying and I need them to film. They are essentially cameras to me. I don't care what other functions they have, what else they can do, etc haha. I bought them to film with and that's all I use them for. They don't even have SIM card and have never even been connected to a cell network. Now, I do have an iPhone that I use as my phone, but it's much older and I don't actually film anything with it. That said, I do still keep them all in airplane mode when I'm flying. In fact, the iPhones I use to film with have never been switched out of airplane mode, ever, even when I'm not flying haha. They just live on airplane mode all the time. iPhones, when in airplane mode, meet all airline and regulatory requirements to be a able to used during all phases of flight, which is one of the reasons I use them. Now, as for asking for permission. No, I never ask for permission. It 95% of cases asking for permission to film onboard a commercial flight isn't necessary. It will vary by country and airline, but most of my content is filmed in the US. I'm based in the US and in the US there are several things that protect your ability to film take photos and film in airports and onboard commercial aircraft. First, all commercially severed airports in the US, with the exception of one in Branson, Missouri, are publicly owned. Because they are publicly owned it makes them all public property. And although the US Constitution does not explicitly mention a right to privacy, the Supreme Court has inferred it from other amendments over the years. This is where you get the "you don't have an expressed right to privacy when in public." In the US, basically, if it is public property you are allowed to take photos and videos at will, and no one can stop you. This even applies to TSA screening checkpoints. They have all those signs up everywhere that say no filming or pictures, but if you actually look at the fine print, it's just a "suggestion." So, you can film whatever you want at any US airport and no one can stop you. Now... On the plane is a bit of a different story, but only slightly. Again, this is in the US. Many people think that since the airlines are privately owned companies. I.e., the government doesn't own and operate them, that the specific airlines can decide what is allowed and what isn't. And they can to an extent, but not like a restaurant can "refuse service to anyone." See, the airlines in the US operate as "common carriers." A common carrier is a a commercial enterprise (airline in this case) that transports passengers or goods for a fee and establishes that their service is open to the general public. And that last part it what restricts them in being able to say what you can and can't do. "Their service is open to the general public." The alternative would be operating as "contract carriers," which would be carriers that transport passengers for only a certain number of clients, and this would allow them to refuse to transport passengers for anyone they choose. A common carrier holds itself out to provide service to the general public without discrimination. This means that airlines in the US essentially operate as a public service. This basically means that they cannot stop you from taking pictures or filming on their aircraft because they are operating a public service. Now, there are some loosely written rules about filming and taking pictures in most US airlines "contracts of carriage" that you sign when you buy a ticket, but they're mostly aimed not filming crew members performing duties and discouraging any photos/filming that would interfere with the safety of a flight. So, when filming like I do, where I'm just filming out the window. There's really no way they a say it's into allowed. I fly 150+ flights a year and it's been almost 10 years since someone told me to stop filming on a US flight. Internationally those rules all change. It depends on each country and airline, but in general I found that as long as you're not sticking your camera in people's faces, no one really cares. As long as you're being mindful of other people and the crew, and you're not being obnoxious or intrusive... I've never had any issues anywhere outside of the US.
You know, I've had pretty good luck with the weather this year. Especially considering I went to Northern Canada in January, and Europe in February haha.

Rainy takeoffs and that engine sound are so satisfying!
I love this channel❤ it’s just so peaceful.
Since this is coming from Anakin Skywalker, this may be the best compliment the channel has every gotten.
Vídeo Espetacular Que Decolagem 😊 Merece um like 😊
Nice takeoff SP good job 👍
Thanks my friend!
Oompf! I still feel full from T-Day turkey! Anyhow, another fine video on your part.
You and me both my friend. I think I had at least 5 deviled eggs. They're my weakness 😂.
Interesting engine noises while taking off.
I've been extremely busy and have missed your channel. Had to stop by to see a Good takeoff. I have a minimum of 3 upcoming flights in 2025.

Great fly! Are you done for 2024 trip for now?

Please make a video about plane Spotting in New York JFK because you are passionate about planes. Please make it.

If your phone is in airplane mode, you can use it whenever you like. Idk about permission in US, but in Russia you can film everything

Rare footage of rain on this channel

Newark? Once you're off the ground you can unlock the doors and open the windows.
Unfortunately my window didn't roll down. The passenger next to me seemed concerned when I tried haha 😂
