Wow. Great video! I remember going there when it first opened. Nothing there but the airport. Mobile lounges were really unique. Qatar A350 made smooth landing and slowed up fast!
Since I live near Dulles, I will tell you that you honestly have to go there at the right time, because there are some serious lulls in action at certain times of day lol
@@JustinLHopkins Same here at Amsterdam Schiphol. This year’s number of flight movements will be equal to that of 1992 (about 220.000). Last year was close to 500.000. Some parts of the day are just so quiet now.
@Aviation LAX I can vouch for that, the two garages and the museum are the only decent spots. Wish they'd re-open the old viewing deck at the terminal.
I do like the airport, but I do agree with the spotting. I filmed the final Delta MD-88 departure which departed runway 30. That is possibly the single worst runway in the history of plane spotting to get a good view of lol
@@LeppAviation Pretty much, there really isn't a good spot which sucks. Since traffic has increased at dulles, especially during the evening, the smaller jets departing to the west use 30, haven't been able to find a good spot unfortunately :(
the raven told you where he is going *lol* sounds a little belch but he told you *lol* .... by the way stunning video, looks like a bitterly cold day :-)
Great shots, my friend! You were lucky to catch a variety of passenger planes. At my airport, Dallas Fort Worth Airport, it’s much harder to do so even with a nice plane spotting park, due to the ATC rarely directing the bigger planes near the park.
Awesome video and amazing compilation of airplanes @ Dulles airport......I am liking your contents and I am excited to see your videos....Merry Christmas ⛄⛄⛄⛄....Raven spotting was also awesome 😘😘😘😘
I live near IAD and my wife works there for AF/KL. I see you were on the parking deck! It you come in the afternoons at the right time (United bank and Euro arrivals) it gets quite busy but this year traffic is definitely off!
Nice, I was filming 1 day before you, but at garage 1 overlooking 19L. International heavies are down by a good 70% or so, just a few daily ones now, but primarily United regional jets. Even Emirates isn't daily anymore!
Forgive my ignorance, but it doesn't seem like the flaps on the wing deploy much to slow the aircraft down; it seems to be the engine reverse thrusters (again, sorry) that do the heavy work. It's been a minute since I've flown, but I seem to remember all sorts of flaps and wing parts sliding into position as the plane landed. Maybe it's the perspective of seeing it from the ground.
I live in Baltimore and BWI has a great location to watch planes landing/taking off. But it's mostly just Southwest 737s. Where can I go near Dulles to get a good view?
There are some applications which are available on the App Store/Play Store, one of my favorite is FlightRadar 24, you can use it to get information about any aircraft, although for some info, you have to take a premium subscription.
Dulles does have some lulls in traffic but they have a wide range of aircraft that takeoff and and there. I mean look at this video a350 to 787 to a330 to 737

@@aviationrules2106 Most likely. There are times during peak travel season where widebodies are used on these routes before the pandemic, so we’ve definitely seen this before
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore (will I fly into an airport again)"
oh my god 8th grade is coming back to me
Amazing shots man!! Love the info about the raven 😂
Wow. Great video! I remember going there when it first opened. Nothing there but the airport. Mobile lounges were really unique.
Qatar A350 made smooth landing and slowed up fast!
Really nice compilation mate, beautiful the Qatar A350!

It’s more than a lull. Covid19 has turned many of the worlds busiest airports into ghost towns.

@@OtakuAviators It will be interesting to see the final numbers come out for 2020. Ops and passenger counts will be shocking.
How many minutes away from Dulles do you live in?
The KLM A330 is absolutely gorgeous - even more so against the darker sky. Thanks for uploading!
Washington Dulles is one of my favorite airports IMO. Thanks for doing a video here!

Very cool video mate, and cool raven, I like birds

Awesome spotting

Excellent job!!
Awesome....👍👍👍
right spot, best time for great plane spotting video
Thank you.
Wheres Delta?
Greaser landing on the last 787!
Terrific catches! Aer Lingus won't return service to Dulles till May 2021.
That raven shot🤣🤣
Great early christmas present!
Black Raven Bird Dulles twr roger wind is clam you’re clear for take off or landing at Bilots discretion~~~
Yessir my home airport
Me too.
Lindo vídeo 👏

Yes, late reply, but I love around 3-5PM the heavies come in around then.
Nice presentation.
Love A350

Crazy times, man...
Love the raven lol
Well done and merry christmas
Sometimes spotting at Dulles is nice, other times it’s, UNITED, UNITED, UNITED, UNITED, UNITED, UNITED, UNITED, UNITED, I think you get the point.
same with Atlanta and DFW (but Delta and American respectively instead of United)
it's the same with DCA sometimes where it's all either american eagle or american
great video
Great Video as always Lepp Aviation👍👍👏. Have a great Merry Christmas🎄🎁
You as well, Josh!!
Happy planes new year
Love the "Raven". Wonder where he finially flew to??
Maybe that raven came from Baltimore
@@jermainesimmons2944 😄
Great compil, this Qatar A350 is stunning.👍✅
What tripod do you use with your camcorder ?

The spoilers break the lift after touchdown, but don’t reduce speed much, the reverse thrust does it combine with braking systems..
@@flygwada971 that’s correct, the brakes still do the hard job, it’s like 70 brakes and 30 reverse
Raven Air, ...destination unknown lol!
was that “the” Go Pro plane?
The 787 is my favorite… Airbus is nice and all but I’m a huge Boeing fan
Nice video! Was wonder what area of the airport did you take this?
My hometown/ airport!
Like how klm colors are
I live in Baltimore and BWI has a great location to watch planes landing/taking off. But it's mostly just Southwest 737s. Where can I go near Dulles to get a good view?
I’m going soon, and I’m headed to parking garage 2, a friend who goes often says it’s a good spot to catch all of the runways
Amazing video! One question: How busy is Dulles ie. how many planes landed per hour when you were there?
Maravilhoso essas filmagens parabéns
where you on the parking garage #2 for spotting??
Nice plane spotting
Nice video
Any suggestions for the best locations near Dulles for landing/takeoff spotting from an elevated spot without paying for parking?
most travel to Reagan or BWI if flying into the area
I loved the rav380 lol
Where did you go to do the plane spotting
What garage did you shoot this from?
Garage 2
Is garage 2 hard to get into? Can you see a lot in afternoons from this garage or only mornings?
did you go late afternoon?
what place in dulles did you go to plane spot
was that snow i saw?
Yes its snow lucky
Also congrats ur first im 2nd
@@Lee247Jamaica thx mate
7:47 KLM A330 Butter🤩🤩🧈🧈
Where are you spotting from?
Those thrust reversers are *loud.*
How can you tell the age of plane and where did it come from ? Just wondering...

Where are you recording?
7:54 I can’t see touchdown 😡

cool
Cool
Too think I waste my time traveling and fishing and I could be doing this, boy am I missing out on life
I think the Raven said “Lenore!”
some of those flight times are off.
4:25 why is no one talking about how clean that was
yea I saw that he or she is a good pilot
Is it Washington Dc or another Washington
It's Washington Maryland
That tail of the fedex😡
Ha the the raven
Awesome, I thought Avianca went belly up.
Just landed there like a month ago coming from Tampa but it was not butter
A lot of 787's though.
My favorite aircraft was the Raven. Who concurs?
Airs traffic has plummeted by over 50% due to Covid19. Who knows when it will recover.
Min 2:55 I From El salvador
All the fed ex tails
So many private jets
Ay q estrellar aviones washinton
Yeeeeet
Go to san francisco
Say no to California 😁
I live in the dmv man
Why is 777-200 going to Cancun? It should be going to Frankfurt.
