I used to be a member of the Piedmont lounge - when it was US Air. In 1989 I moved to Greensboro from London, England because EMI Music wanted me to work on a new project there for Capitol Records. It was a bit of a change! I lived on Tattershall Drive, part of The Cardinal, an estate surrounding a Golf Course about 5 minutes from the Airport. In fact my neighbour was Greensboro's Police Chief. He used to joke that I was then the only Englishman living in Guilford County. US Air had one International flight per day from Charlotte to London and I think I used that about 35 times in the first year. I clocked up so many miles that I never needed to actually buy a ticket to visit my girlfriend in New York City during the six years that I lived there. If I couldn't hook up via Charlotte then I caught a connector US Air flight to Philly and British Airways - US Air were trying to get close to BA at that time. I remember when the connector was late in leaving GSO the pilot arranged for me to transfer to the BA 747 across the tarmac at Philly via an electric car; that was an experience!!! I always got great service..... Flying to LA I went via Dallas to Burbank so I could get to the Capitol Tower on Hollywood and Vine easily - though I did know the shortcuts from LAX via La Cienega Blvd. Good times. Best, Pete.
Great content being the unofficial spokesman for your airport. Louisville is my home airport and I will always remember when Piedmont Airlines flew a route via one of it's 727s from Newark, Cincinnati, Louisville, Greensboro High Point to Washington Reagan. Flight 65 ran for many years with Piedmont. Via Piedmont in those days traveled via Charlotte. Piedmont is how I became a frequent flyer and my first award ticket as a teenager. For this avgeek, went on to globetrekking. Looking back fond memories of my home airport, Louisville. Keep up the great work, fellow aviation enthusiasts!!!!
I live about 12 minutes from GSO, I often see approach into airport. You forgot to mention GTTC’s aviation campus, they do aviation maintenance, flight training and many other programs related to it. The Vice Presidents plane and AF1 “Venus one” does touch and goes every once in a while. The school GTCC does partner up with local companies. I’ve done that same INT trip too!! Great video and loved it, I know GSO, CLT and RDU pretty well.
Flown in and out of GSO a handful of times, usually connecting through CLT, always loved how late I could turn up to a flight without having to worry about security times being super long and a very short walk to the gate. Always wondered about it’s cargo operations, so cool to see! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
I love plane spotting at GSO the people that work there are really nice allowing me to do that. Great Video Jeb for exposing GSO for how amazing the airport truly is. I agree GSO was truly over due for a new control tower.
I live in the Triad area and work at the FedEx hub at PTI. My niece's husband works at Honda. I love aviation and travel. Thank you for sharing your excellent videos. You and Peter Masella have the best aviation and travel channels on RUclips.
Great video Jeb. When I started my now over 2000 flights for my career as a consultant in 1997 my very first commute was from CMH-CLT-GSO , did that trip weekly for 5 months and always love GSO .
When I first discovered your channel, I was binge watching most of the video. I don't know how the heck I missed this video. Thank you for referencing this video on your 2023 year in review.
I just discovered your channel several days ago and have been binge watching! I absolutely love flying and am quite envious of all your experiences and opportunities! It is a dream of mine to be able to travel the world! This video really caught my eye as we lived in Mount Airy for 8 years and flew in and out of GSO/PTI many times! It was our closest international airport and with my family living in the west, we flew quite a bit. We also flew out of CLT and RDU, if the tickets from there were cheaper than GSO. Now we live in Phoenix but there are things I miss about North Carolina!
Man I love how modern the terminal/check-in area at GSO is! Much nicer than those at ORD that's for sure. Becoming an unofficial spokesperson for my hometown airport would be nice...if we got more than just American ERJ-145's!
ONT is my home airport! I thought it’s always been a neat airport even though the city of LA took them over for a time. I’m glad that the city of Ontario regained control because they will make ONT a great place that people will want to travel from again!
Thanks for the video!! LOVE this airport. Always fun flying into it as it means I am visiting family... Looking forward to my next trip there. Stay safe Jeb!
Hey, PTI is my home airport also! I love flying out of PTI as it is simple and closer to home than RDU. It’s simple and easy to get in and out of and I love hanging out in the observation room before my flights. Great to see PTI getting the attention it deserved!
Welcome back Jeb, it's great to see you posting again. I flew through GSO (GTI) several years ago when it was one of Continental's "focus cities". I was flying between Richmond (RIC), and Tampa (TPA) with a change of planes there. I don't remember a great deal about your terminal, other than a cafeteria where I grabbed a bite to eat, but I do remember flying into GSO on a Embraer 120 Brasilia, and flying out on a Boeing 737 -300 to Tampa. On the return leg, I repeated the process in reverse, flying the same combination of aircraft back to Richmond. Two things about that trip stand out, the flights on the EMB-120's, which was a "new" aircraft type for me, and a rude couple who boarded the the 737 in Jacksonville, on the return leg. I was seated on the aisle when they boarded, and they let out an audible moan when they found me sitting in "their" row. The female took the window seat, leaving the center seat to the male, who obviously was very annoyed to me find me sitting in the aisle seat. He showed his displeasure by immediately taking command of the armrest between us, and making himself as "large" as possible. Once airborne, he proceeded to cross his legs, and rest his shoe on my thigh. I asked him firmly to remove his foot several times, and he ignored me. Fortunately, there was a light load of passengers on the flight between JAC and GSO, and I was able to change seats. The rest of the flight was uneventful, however, when we landed in Greensboro, and were deplaning, the male stood up, dropped the USA Today he had been reading, and left the scattered pages on the floor, as he and the female exited the aircraft. Like most travelers, I've had a number of experiences which I will remember, most of them good ones, but this one was undoubtedly was one of the worst!
Best and favourite airports ?! 1 Changi in Singapore 2 Chep Lap Kok in Hong Kong 3. Heathrow in London...worst airports Melbourne in Australia ( my partial home town) Adelaide in South Australia and Sydney International !! Oh sorry Abu Dhabi in the Middle East !! The Jebster returns...have missed you mate !! So sad to the almost eerie look at the moment with no one there !! All those parked jets is also a sad sight. !! Great video Jeb...really enjoyed it and most interesting with so many things going on in and around the airport !! I have a feeling Winston Salem hosts a major tennis tournament as well these days ?? Thanks again mate and take care !!!
PTI was the first airport I ever flew out of. Back then you walked out to the plane and up the stairs. Having lived in NC for 30+ years, I've flown from there many times. Later on I flew out of CLT and watched how that airport has grown. Now home is MLB. Small but so easy to get in and out of. Love the smaller airports and their unique character. Great video.
I love GSO! The nicest TSA and airport staff at any airport I have been in. Live in Chicago but have to be in High Point often for work. So easy to get to GSO from ORD and I make that trip about 12 times a year. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for making this video. I lived in Greensboro for 9 years and worked in Winston. I flew in and out of PTI tons of times. I remember when Haeco was Timco. You failed to mention the convenient parking there and the fact that it is so conveniently located. The airport would be so busy during furniture market. Thanks again for sharing this and I can’t wait to see more videos from you in the future.
Jeb, seriously loved this video. I've watched nearly all of yours... this is my first time commenting. Love the nature of this video... behind the scenes and all the other stuff at the airport! Thanks for all you do!
thanks so much for showing some much needed love to our small airport I live in Reidsville, NC hope to run into you at the airport soon!!!! BTW love the content keep up the good work!!!
Great to see so much business going on on a rather small airport. My hometown airport (Groningen airport, The Netherlands) is way smaller and currently it only has charter operations to holiday destination around the Mediterranean Sea. I’d love to see regular (feeder) flights to destinations like London, Paris, Copenhagen or Munich from my little hometown airport:)
This was so enjoyable to watch! Went to high school in Greensboro, with Jeb, in fact!! We had geometry together in 9th grade!! Also, best job I ever had was Budget Car Rentals inside PTI!! ❤️❤️
I love PTI airport, i have been flying in and out of it since 2010, and i just love it. I was in the highway when i saw one united plane landing on Smith Reynolds and i was very confused until i saw the news, iv stopped a few times in the past couple of weeks just to see them, too bad i didn't know you were there. Next flight i'm having at PTI Should be coming up this august :) Looking forward to it haha
Nice overview! I used to work for Executive Airwash back in the mid- 90's in CLT and we did corporate aircraft for then First Union Bank 🏦 ( Citation V), private planes such as 174 WB a King Air 200, Emery Worldwide 🌐 Dc-8 63f's, and the smaller DC-8-61's. Shorts 360 for U.S. Airways and a couple of B-727-f's U.S. Mail in GSO, CAE to boot! Love the job while I was in College
Hi Jeb, thanks for the video. It reminds me of my furniture manufacturing days, when I would frequently visit High Point during the market. I miss this place a lot. Hopefully I can come back in the future.
Hi Jeb quite interesting to learn about "your" airport. Really makes me want to travel there. Thanks for the information. Hope to see you in the ccx air soon.
The fact that I see so many people saying KONT is there home airport makes me happy. Direct flights to China, Canada (seasonally), and Mexico certainly make it one of the more interesting California airports. Cheap flights and also drive-in movies. One of the larger cargo hubs for UPS, FedEx, and Amazon is so interesting. Take a trip to the Inland Empire's airport!
Wow amazing, I pasted that airport ah few times and Ive never knew that many companies: airline, Maintenance, etc.. operated there let alone was based there. Amazing video!
You're lucky to have such an easy airport as your home base. My home airport, Boston Logan, can be a nightmare sometimes! But it's very close to the city so that is a plus.
Hi Jeb, I’m in Cary, NC and a very frequent traveler out of RDU. Haven’t flown since March 3-4th, a two day trip RDU-LAX, SNA-ATL-RDU. Pretty sure this is the longest I’ve gone “flightless” in my 30+ year career. I’m a rare Flying Colonel on Delta, ever heard of it? I share your love of aviation. Sad what is happening right now. We were up to 58 non-stop destinations pre COVID and we are currently down to 22 I believe. Enjoyed this, didn’t know much of what you covered. May have to take a drive over and look around. You have a great Italian deli in G’boro that I like!
My home airport is John Wayne Orange County KSNA, big airlines like Delta, American, and United fly there too! Longest runway is 5,000 feet, it’s my favorite airport!
I'm originally from Raleigh. Even though I haven't been in North Carolina since about 2004, I still always feel like that whole area between Raleigh and the Tennessee border is my home. Edit: got halfway through the video and I started cheesing hard. I am an aircraft mechanic. Airframe and Powerplant license. I don't work in an MRO but I live in Nashville and we have one for Embraer at BNA. Pre Covid I had several friends that worked out there while I was on the other side of the airfield working on GA stuff. I would love to see more mechanic stuff. Sorta show people the behind the scenes aspect and what is actually happening under the shiny paint livery.
Interesting fact on Swift Air at GSO. I love medium and smaller size commercial airports. You really want them to succeed and grow, but to never loose the charm. Also, 6:57 FlyDubai Max? Nice
My home airport too. Some of the best people there. Someday I'll have to let you know what happened when my wife was flying back from Brazil and how PTI jumped to action to help her when she was SO sick.
hey jeb, happy to see your uploading again! great video! I fly out of ohare in chicago and it’s letters are ORD. it’s definitely weird but hope all is well! keep up the great work!
My home airport is Toronto Pearson. It’s a great airport and I love plane spotting there before we hop on our flight. I really can’t wait to fly again.
My home airport is St. Louis Lambert International airport or STL. It used to be a hub for Ozark Airlines and Trans World Airlines or TWA until the early 2000s. When TWA was phased out, Southwest built a brand new terminal and made STL a hub. We also have flights all around the US with Southwest, Delta, United, American, Alaska, Frontier, Viva Aerobus, Air Canada, Air Choice One, Cape Air, Sun Country Airlines, Swiftair, Contour Airlines, DHL, ABX Air, UPS, FedEx, and used to be Air Bridge Cargo. We have international routes to Toronto Pearson International, Cancun, Punta Cana, Central Mexico, and Baja California. Concourse D is abandoned and left the exact same way it was when TWA left, even with music still playing. Concourse B has been turned into a rental venue.
My dad works for ExpressJet Airlines and we have used our benefits to fly on Continental and United. We had family in Charlotte, so we'd often fly into the smaller airports around there (easier to get a seat). GSO was one we used and it's a nice airport for its size. Easy layout.
I was bout to fly there this summerrrrr :( Thank you Jeb, so I have a great look about this airport, for next summer! :D Greetings from Amsterdam, Schiphol! :D
I'm from New Hampshire, and my FAVORITE airport is MHT (Manchester NH, NOT UK)! The approach path goes right over my house, so we can see it whenever we fly in! It was recently ranked one of the top 20 airports in the U.S. We only have 4 airlines (American, Delta, United, Southwest) and about 13 destinations, but there are rumors that JetBlue may begin service out of MHT soon. It is a lot cheaper to fly out of Boston, which is about an hour's drive to the south, but it is so much more convenient to fly out of MHT!
Awesome shout out to our company Swift Air/iAero. We employ over 500 employees even in this pandemic. We do passenger flights into GSO for caesars casino to ACY, on top of the college and professional sports teams! Our HQ is down the road housing our OCC close to my favorite place the Carolina Diner. Will share this video on our social media!
Great video 👍. Looks like a fantastic airport, been from the UK and only ever been to major international airports in the USA it make a refreshing change to the experience at EWR, ATL, LAX ect..... Hope you channel helps build the airport with more destinations and who knows in better times ahead maybe some international destinations, RDU had flights to LHR and CDG. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I encourage you to look into Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airport/KIWA/AZA , with all sorts of awesome 737 classics from Swift-air/Iaero airways, regular allegiant service (at one point we had AAY 757 service to Honolulu), “Swoop” service (Canadian subsidiary of Westjet), and even Westjet itself! Let’s not forget about some amazing visitors, such an 10-tanker the DC-10, right now, 2 BaE 146 “Avro” tankers, and sometimes even an MD-87 tanker. And, on occasion you’ll find amazing stuff you’ll never see at Sky Harbor, such as a World Atlantic MD-83 charter, Eastern airlines charter planes, an Antonov AN-124, and very rarely, Boeing test/freighter planes! We had some 787 testing done here, and sometimes we get a 747-8 cargo to carry cargo (same job as that AN-124). Mesa gateway is my home, coupled with an amazing fleet of visitors, amazing spotting locations, and frequent private jet visits with many hangar facilities like GSO... It is an amazing little airport, and if you’re ever in the area, I recommend you give it a look! P.S. Jeb, if you ever fly here, I’d love to your plane coming in if I have the time!
The 10,000 foot runway makes PTI a B-52 bomber capable facility and is used, like ILM Wilmington, for Air Force One touch and go practice. FedEx was going to move its main hub to PTI and close its Memphis hub, but that plan was put on hold years ago. ILM was also an emergency landing site for the space shuttle program and another cold war era B-52 rated field.
I got to visit Haeco when it was Timco (2004ish). They had a 777 in for maintenance at the time and we were able to go on board and check out the cockpit.
I too have flown through PTI in from IAD and out to IAD, PHL or more often ATL. Only trouble is not bring able to move between gate areas if colleagues are flying on different routes back home.
Neat video. I’m in Martinsville and my first flight was around 1980 when I was a kid. It was in the old terminal that is now the TH Davis Aviation Center (I’m looking for pics of this facility in operation before current PTI was built). I always fly PTI !
I flew into AVL several times in the early 1980s when I went to summer camp nearby. Nice little airport. Doesn’t look like it’s changed much. I’m sure having Allegiant is huge especially with all the Floridians’ vacation homes.
my home airport is RDU (Raleigh-Durham International) i love the new terminal 2 its really easy to get from gate to gate and i also like the small airport park where you can watch planes and stuff
I am a semi driver and my truck broke down, and I had to have my truck towed to shop near GSO, and staying at the Sleep Inn over there and you should do a video review of the place its a little run down but I get to see some plane spotting there. Glad to be in your hometown. In certain circumstances.
Like Jeb, it’s my hometown airport and whenever possible it’s my first choice!
I only fly out and in of Greensboro, its just such a small and easy airport, ( Plus not gonna lie i love smaller planes, specially the ERJ175)
I used to be a member of the Piedmont lounge - when it was US Air. In 1989 I moved to Greensboro from London, England because EMI Music wanted me to work on a new project there for Capitol Records. It was a bit of a change! I lived on Tattershall Drive, part of The Cardinal, an estate surrounding a Golf Course about 5 minutes from the Airport.

I have flown through this airport dozens of times and have never known how much really goes on there. Great content!

woah bro i didnt expect to see u here in the comments
ONT is my home airport! I thought it’s always been a neat airport even though the city of LA took them over for a time. I’m glad that the city of Ontario regained control because they will make ONT a great place that people will want to travel from again!
I used to use Ontario back in the day. It is a nice airport I agree.
Ontario Intl is my favorite by far !
ONT is also my home! Super excited with all the expansion going on there and couldn’t be prouder about it being the US’s fastest growing airport!
Heeeyy mine too! Desk to gate no more than 15 min, at least in Southwest terminal. Also gotta love Oakland Intl
I agree ONT is pretty awesome! My model airport is based of of it and last month I went Planespotting there before Christmas!
It's rare to find a video about a topic you love at this level of depth and detail. Great video!
Thanks for the video!! LOVE this airport. Always fun flying into it as it means I am visiting family... Looking forward to my next trip there. Stay safe Jeb!
Hey, PTI is my home airport also! I love flying out of PTI as it is simple and closer to home than RDU. It’s simple and easy to get in and out of and I love hanging out in the observation room before my flights. Great to see PTI getting the attention it deserved!
Loved the "maybe we can get the attention", that's the spirit of making things happen, the sky is the limit Jeb !
Dude! Extraordinary video! Thanks for the news. I used to live in North Carolina and Greensboro was my favorite airport! Now I got Hartsfield Jackson!

Glad I found your channel. I’m from Greensboro as well. I’m taking my first flight Wednesday to New York!!
Nice to see a bunch of Home-PTI people here, including the Jeb himself

Wow amazing, I pasted that airport ah few times and Ive never knew that many companies: airline, Maintenance, etc.. operated there let alone was based there. Amazing video!
I was extremely charmed by CHO, Charlottesville, VA. They had rocking chairs all set up along big observation windows of the runway, really pretty.
Really enjoyed this video, Jeb. As a Guilford County native, this was surely a treat.
OR between now and the next time, see you at the airport.
Great video Jeb!!! Thank you.
You're lucky to have such an easy airport as your home base. My home airport, Boston Logan, can be a nightmare sometimes! But it's very close to the city so that is a plus.
My favorite airport is Phoenix Sky harbor Internatinal Airport. Love the video.
Hi Jeb, I’m in Cary, NC and a very frequent traveler out of RDU. Haven’t flown since March 3-4th, a two day trip RDU-LAX, SNA-ATL-RDU. Pretty sure this is the longest I’ve gone “flightless” in my 30+ year career. I’m a rare Flying Colonel on Delta, ever heard of it? I share your love of aviation. Sad what is happening right now. We were up to 58 non-stop destinations pre COVID and we are currently down to 22 I believe. Enjoyed this, didn’t know much of what you covered. May have to take a drive over and look around. You have a great Italian deli in G’boro that I like!
This is one of the best videos. I really enjoyed this.
Detroit metro airport is my favorite. It is also my hometown airport. The layout especially of the Delta terminal is unmatched.
My home airport is John Wayne Orange County KSNA, big airlines like Delta, American, and United fly there too! Longest runway is 5,000 feet, it’s my favorite airport!
I'm originally from Raleigh. Even though I haven't been in North Carolina since about 2004, I still always feel like that whole area between Raleigh and the Tennessee border is my home.
Edit: got halfway through the video and I started cheesing hard. I am an aircraft mechanic. Airframe and Powerplant license. I don't work in an MRO but I live in Nashville and we have one for Embraer at BNA. Pre Covid I had several friends that worked out there while I was on the other side of the airfield working on GA stuff. I would love to see more mechanic stuff. Sorta show people the behind the scenes aspect and what is actually happening under the shiny paint livery.
Interesting fact on Swift Air at GSO. I love medium and smaller size commercial airports. You really want them to succeed and grow, but to never loose the charm.
Also, 6:57 FlyDubai Max? Nice
My home airport too. Some of the best people there. Someday I'll have to let you know what happened when my wife was flying back from Brazil and how PTI jumped to action to help her when she was SO sick.
I’m in and out of here all the time, I love this airport!!
Great vid, Jeb! Much love from PPG!
GSO/PTI is my home airport. I live only 4 miles from the terminal. Great video!
Great video..excellent editing. I live in GSO and so does my son, who is a pilot for United.
hey jeb, happy to see your uploading again! great video! I fly out of ohare in chicago and it’s letters are ORD. it’s definitely weird but hope all is well! keep up the great work!
I’ve never been to GSO but I just bought some friends some tickets to fly into there, I can’t wait check it out
As a resident of Winston Salem, PTI is my airport too. I love it’s soothing and homey feel.
My home airport is Toronto Pearson. It’s a great airport and I love plane spotting there before we hop on our flight. I really can’t wait to fly again.
Your video makes me want to fly out of GSO, but I have never done it because I always use RDU. Maybe I should give GSO a try!
Always enjoy checking out airports! If you make it out here to HND, you should look into ANA's maintenance hanger tour!
Thanks for this! GSO is my go to always!
GSO is also my home airport and I LOVE IT!
Great footage, looks like some of it was shot from Signature Flight Support. Proud to say I work there!
PTI is my home airport I live 23 miles south of Greensboro. Great video 😎👍🏽
My home airport is St. Louis Lambert International airport or STL. It used to be a hub for Ozark Airlines and Trans World Airlines or TWA until the early 2000s. When TWA was phased out, Southwest built a brand new terminal and made STL a hub. We also have flights all around the US with Southwest, Delta, United, American, Alaska, Frontier, Viva Aerobus, Air Canada, Air Choice One, Cape Air, Sun Country Airlines, Swiftair, Contour Airlines, DHL, ABX Air, UPS, FedEx, and used to be Air Bridge Cargo. We have international routes to Toronto Pearson International, Cancun, Punta Cana, Central Mexico, and Baja California. Concourse D is abandoned and left the exact same way it was when TWA left, even with music still playing. Concourse B has been turned into a rental venue.
My dad works for ExpressJet Airlines and we have used our benefits to fly on Continental and United. We had family in Charlotte, so we'd often fly into the smaller airports around there (easier to get a seat). GSO was one we used and it's a nice airport for its size. Easy layout.
Detroit is the best airport, the terminal is easy to understand and so nice
It’s my favourite airport to transit through
I was bout to fly there this summerrrrr :( Thank you Jeb, so I have a great look about this airport, for next summer! :D Greetings from Amsterdam, Schiphol! :D
I'm from New Hampshire, and my FAVORITE airport is MHT (Manchester NH, NOT UK)! The approach path goes right over my house, so we can see it whenever we fly in! It was recently ranked one of the top 20 airports in the U.S. We only have 4 airlines (American, Delta, United, Southwest) and about 13 destinations, but there are rumors that JetBlue may begin service out of MHT soon. It is a lot cheaper to fly out of Boston, which is about an hour's drive to the south, but it is so much more convenient to fly out of MHT!
Nice video, Jeb! Your home airport is actually quite interesting. Especially that DC-8. (Operating it must must be expensive.)
What a nice airport! My home airport is MCO. However my favourite airport is TPA.
Awesome shout out to our company Swift Air/iAero. We employ over 500 employees even in this pandemic. We do passenger flights into GSO for caesars casino to ACY, on top of the college and professional sports teams! Our HQ is down the road housing our OCC close to my favorite place the Carolina Diner. Will share this video on our social media!
Been through there a few times myself. If memory serves, HAECO used to be TIMCO.
Neat insight into the airport. :)
Nice video, very interesting facts about this airport. THANKS 👍🇺🇸
Great video Jen, I hope to be back in the skies soon
Great video 👍. Looks like a fantastic airport, been from the UK and only ever been to major international airports in the USA it make a refreshing change to the experience at EWR, ATL, LAX ect..... Hope you channel helps build the airport with more destinations and who knows in better times ahead maybe some international destinations, RDU had flights to LHR and CDG.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
GSO my home base. Maybe I’ll run into ya sometime! Great content!
PTI would be lucky to have you as their official RUclipsr!
I encourage you to look into Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airport/KIWA/AZA , with all sorts of awesome 737 classics from Swift-air/Iaero airways, regular allegiant service (at one point we had AAY 757 service to Honolulu), “Swoop” service (Canadian subsidiary of Westjet), and even Westjet itself! Let’s not forget about some amazing visitors, such an 10-tanker the DC-10, right now, 2 BaE 146 “Avro” tankers, and sometimes even an MD-87 tanker. And, on occasion you’ll find amazing stuff you’ll never see at Sky Harbor, such as a World Atlantic MD-83 charter, Eastern airlines charter planes, an Antonov AN-124, and very rarely, Boeing test/freighter planes! We had some 787 testing done here, and sometimes we get a 747-8 cargo to carry cargo (same job as that AN-124). Mesa gateway is my home, coupled with an amazing fleet of visitors, amazing spotting locations, and frequent private jet visits with many hangar facilities like GSO... It is an amazing little airport, and if you’re ever in the area, I recommend you give it a look! P.S. Jeb, if you ever fly here, I’d love to your plane coming in if I have the time!
KIND for sure love Indy's airport
Another great video. Always informative 👍
Flew out of GSO a couple months ago. The most friendly TSA agents I’ve ever encountered. It was great! LGA could take some lessons 😁
The 10,000 foot runway makes PTI a B-52 bomber capable facility and is used, like ILM Wilmington, for Air Force One touch and go practice. FedEx was going to move its main hub to PTI and close its Memphis hub, but that plan was put on hold years ago. ILM was also an emergency landing site for the space shuttle program and another cold war era B-52 rated field.
I think you’re mistaking ILM for ISO in Kinston, NC. ISO has an 11,400 ft runway compared to ILM’s standard 8,000 ft runway.
@@Gavincornelll No, ILM was a shuttle back up landing site given its closeness to the coast.
I got to visit Haeco when it was Timco (2004ish). They had a 777 in for maintenance at the time and we were able to go on board and check out the cockpit.
I too have flown through PTI in from IAD and out to IAD, PHL or more often ATL. Only trouble is not bring able to move between gate areas if colleagues are flying on different routes back home.
Neat video. I’m in Martinsville and my first flight was around 1980 when I was a kid. It was in the old terminal that is now the TH Davis Aviation Center (I’m looking for pics of this facility in operation before current PTI was built). I always fly PTI !
Who would have thought so much happens at a medium sized airport? This video has definitely inspired me to create a similar one for BWI
My favorite airport is AVL (Asheville Regional Airport)! Most beautiful little airport in the world! ❤❤❤
I love Asheville a ton! I fly out of there when I have a flight during college
I flew into AVL several times in the early 1980s when I went to summer camp nearby. Nice little airport. Doesn’t look like it’s changed much. I’m sure having Allegiant is huge especially with all the Floridians’ vacation homes.
my home airport is RDU (Raleigh-Durham International) i love the new terminal 2 its really easy to get from gate to gate and i also like the small airport park where you can watch planes and stuff
I am a semi driver and my truck broke down, and I had to have my truck towed to shop near GSO, and staying at the Sleep Inn over there and you should do a video review of the place its a little run down but I get to see some plane spotting there. Glad to be in your hometown. In certain circumstances.
