I would like to mention, in case anyone notices. This is the flight where my brand new camera had a logic board issue, which caused it to stop recording and crash... It was the first flight I ever used it on, and because it crashed and then wouldn't work anymore, there is a very small cut in this landing as I scrambled to get my backup camera out. I missed like 15 seconds, about a minute before touchdown. Just in case anyone notices and wonders what happened. Now you know haha. I have since replaced the malfunctioning camera.
It’s perfectly fine bro! After all these many hours of flying and capturing footage I’m surprised how little you make a mistake, and this wasn’t even a mistake, it was just some technical issue, just shows how consistent you are. Keep up the amazing work man, looking forward whatever’s next! 👍
This might be the rarest approach out of all approaches I have ever seen. In the past I have surfed youtube seeing if a runway 25 landing in Denver has ever happened and I had always ended up finding nothing... until today. As I was watching this I had a really good feeling the view of the airport hotel and freeways while descending would be one heck of a view, and it sure was. This might be the most scenic possible approach that Denver has too besides the 34s and 17s when youre in the right seat. Loved this video, and thank god for your backup camera haha.
Thank God indeed haha. The person next to me was probably wondering what the big problem was as I scrambled to pull the backup out and hit record again 😂. And I think you're right. As far as actual landing views go, this is probably the best you can get a DEN. Of course, if you're coming in from the west and it's a clear day, you can't beat the Rockies, but that's more of your approach views. Anyway, thanks for watching my friend!
Wow! A unicorn landing. Thank you for sharing. The sheer size of that airport is amazing. I stll recall my first time there, on a flight from Phoenix. It felt like the taxi to the gate was as long as the flight itself. Many thanks, as always, for your awesome videos.
As a retired airline pilot, I fully appreciate your videos! I am always amazed by how steady the camera is being held -- almost as if it were mounted on a gimballed-tripod. Very smooth transition between cameras! CAM 1 failed just before crossing a dry wash; CAM 2 picked up just on the west side of that same dry wash -- almost unnoticeable! Obviously, you keep your backup camera at the ready. GOOD JOB!
It's the first failure I've had since I started using iPhones for the channel, and I started with the iPhone 6 to give you an idea of their perfect run up to this point. As an Eagle Scout, I always remember the scouting motto. Be prepared. I might not have ever had a failure in 9 years of filming with iPhones, but I always keep my backup within reach, just in case. Finally, it paid off 😂. The employee who ran diagnostics on the phone when I took it in to the Apple Store said he'd never seen any iPhone have a logic board failure like this one had. A perfect storm of a very unusual defective part, and asking the phone to perform at a high level for a prolonged period of time. Here's hoping the replacement I got doesn't have the same issue. If it does though... My 14 Pro will be within arms reach once again. Anyway, I appreciate the compliments on the channel and my filming style. It is my goal to have the highest quality aviation content on RUclips, and that requires some unusual habits like filming by hand instead of using a mount. It's no big deal. All it takes is training and practice over 9 years and anyone can train their arm muscles to effortlessly hold the camera still and steady for hours on end 😂.
I loved this one. I have stayed at the hotel and love watching the planes land there. Never seen a 25 landing and never been on one - yet... I remember the front was trying to come in but it was still up north... I bet that altered jet stream is why. This really was the Holy Grail of DIA landings... Thanks for all the great content. 😎🧑✈️💚
As a retired UAL employee I appreciate your videos - especially the ground shots with the ramp crews loading and unloading the aircraft - tks for posting!!!
Glad you like them my friend! As someone who spent a few years working the ramp for Enovy right out of college, I have a mad respect for the work everyone on the ramp does. It's an often under appreciated job, and people don't often realize how demanding it can be. Anyway, thanks for watching my friend!
Wow 25 in Denver! That's the unicorn flying across a blue moon on a leap year when pigs finally do fly approach. I've flown into Denver numerous times (I grew up in Aurora) and have literally landed on all runways except it. What a catch wow!!!! Edit I always take off on 25 and land on 26 when they're operating this direction LOL
Yeah, same. I didn't even know they ever used 25 for landings haha. I kept trying to figure out where we were and I didn't realize until I saw the hotel and terminals haha.
@@sla31I have an approach that's even more special than this. Have you ever done the river visual into DCA? Sure you have. Have you ever done one where you saw the Washington Monument outside your window....while sitting on the right side of the aircraft? Yeah got your gears turning now right? I was on a United 727-200 and I noticed the monument and I too was confused. Mind you this was my first flight ever into DCA....How was I seeing it sitting on the right side? From all the books I read I knew I shouldn't be.... It was night but there it was and the Mall the Smithsonian everything all lit up clear as day. The landing was one of the hardest braking ones I ever felt. I new DCA runways were small so I thought it was normal. It was only after when I talked to the Captain he explained I wasn't seeing things. We had just performed a visual to runway 22! At the time I didn't realize just how rare that was. My dad would later become a part time refueler at DCA and I would go to work with him to literally plane spot from the terminal thr whole time he was working (this is obviously pre 9/11) but back then you could walk around the whole airport as long as you cleared security. There was a great spot between the old terminal and new where you could watch all the action on the field. During all the times I went there to do this I only saw one other aircraft do that approach......another 727 from United. I walked to the gate afterwards and talked to that Captain too. 😂
Woww .. another spectacular beautiful shooting filming footage and the view absolutely beautiful and gorgeous and you doing such an amazing job, loved the beautiful filming captured, thanks again and keep it up!!
Seeing this was filmed on the 10th were still gone when the cold snap happened here, I think you got more snow in the Joplin area, like always enjoyed the video
Same. Typically that's the runway I get any time I'm heading west, southwest, or south. I could not figure out what approach we were on until I saw the terminals haha.
Hey Skylite. Thanks for this great video. I always knew DEN was huge, but your video showed me how really huge it is. It's sprawling. I guess they need the extra space for all the conspiracy theories about this airport. Take care my friend. Talk to you soon.
I landed on 25 a few years ago coming back into DEN on a flight. Was very confused looking out the window on what approach we were doing cause I didn’t think they ever landed on 25 haha.
Great job! I’m a Denver native, and DIA is massive! It’s not as easy to get to, or get around, then the old Stapleton International Airport, but we need it.
I have seen landings on the two horizontal runways during a layover at Denver, but never got to experience one on either of those runways. I would had expected it to be a Runway 7 landing instead to reduce taxi time.
WOWOWOW!! Superdenverairportcalifragilisticexpialidicious!! Love those Colorado plains. The one and only time I've even been to Denver was in May 1978 when I connected to a flight to Great Falls via Billings. But this was Stapleton rather than the new airport. I think of The Shining when Scatman Crothers flies into Stapleton on Continental and the flight attendant tells him that they're due to arrive at 8:20AM and when he's there, he calls his friend at Durkins Garage to arrange a Sno-Cat for him. He tells him that he's at Stapleton Airport. Well, it's 35 degrees here right now, and we're expected to get snow overnight, about 2 inches of the white stuff. Jeez, Portland's REALLY been getting hammered and now, an ice storm is about to hit the area, adding great insult to serious injury. Batten down the hatches!!
It only got to 15 here today, but that was finally enough to thaw my frozen pipe. The good news is nothing burst in the house and we're back up and running.... Or we were for a short time... Then the cities main water line just down the street from us burst 😂... You can't make this up haha.
@@sla31 Wow. Hang in there. Be glad you weren't up in Madison, WI because it only got up to 0 degrees for a high. It got up to 35 here but snow is on the way now. It's already hitting Thurston County and moving up this direction. I'm watching a movie called In Love With My Partner's Wife where Gina Vittori fights to get away from her super abusive police officer husband. Jeez, this guy's holding his wife at gunpoint at a train station in broad daylight in front of other cops who are ordering him to let her go. It's a standoff. Anyhow, stay warm and be glad you're not in Montana or North Dakota right now.
Airport observations say gusty winds out of the west at the time (280 at 25, gusts 40)--they were using 25 and 26 for landings around when this video was taken, with departures off the 34s. If you look ahead of the wing at 12:20, there's a Southwest 737 on approach for the parallel. I'm not from the Denver area, so I'm not sure how unusual this might be.
Well, based on the comments so far on this video, and the fact that I cannot find any other RWY 25 landing videos, I'd say it's very rare. One Denver native called this the "unicorn flying across a blue moon on a leap year when pigs finally do fly approach." hahaha
Great fly! Have you heard 2 news? Korean Air and Cathay Pacific clip the wings in Japan? A man at Salt Lake City Airport breached the airport security and the man was killed after crawling into the plane engine?
I have heard both of those. In reality planes run into each other on ramps more often than we usually hear. I think we're hearing about it more right now because of the high profile crashes and incidents that have happened recently.
DEN is the second largest airport in the world in terms of land area. King Fahd International (DMM) in Saudi Arabia is the only one bigger. DFW is third. Thanks for watching my friend!
I was so stunned when I saw the title of this video !!!! Landing on runway 25 is crazy !!! Was there any reason why ya'll landed on runway 25 ?? I have to know !!!!
No, the crew never said anything. I imagine like @NovejSpeed3 said, it was probably just really strong winds out of the west. I think the first winter storm that pushed east had already moved past the plains and the cold snap from the arctic was inbound, so there was probably pretty heavy winds pushing from the west.
Nope, not just you. It was very quiet. I find this is becoming more and more common. So, either I'm losing my hearing haha, or crews are making announcements with lower value more consistently than ever.
Denver has a lot of runways. 6 total. This runway where is usually only used for departures. And an arrival on this runway requires passing directly over to other runways. On top of the winds not usually favoring this runway, the two other runways you have to fly over to land on it, means it’s almost never used. As far as I can find, this is the only runway 25 landing you can find on video.

Yeah, I evaded the cold until I got back. And I returned to TUL and my windshield a massive crack in it. Thank you major temperature switch...
Looks pretty windy! Great vid.
Flown in DIA numerous times, never landed on that runway, took off from it almost every time when departing for OAK.
Same. Typically that's the runway I get any time I'm heading west, southwest, or south. I could not figure out what approach we were on until I saw the terminals haha.
Skylike is the best!
Being from Denver I must say I have never seen a landing on this runway. Great video.
Thanks my friend! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I once had one of the smoothest landings I’ve been on in Denver. I will post it
Great job! I’m a Denver native, and DIA is massive! It’s not as easy to get to, or get around, then the old Stapleton International Airport, but we need it.
Stapleton was special. I used to love going under the runway tunnels. You remember when the fuel barn caught on fire!?!?!
@@NovejSpeed3I don’t remember that fire, but I definitely remember going under that bridge.
@@dave4shmups it was a huuuuge fire look it up....
@@dave4shmups it was November 25 1990 nearly 2 million gallons of jet fuel went up 😲
Awesome video! I can honestly say that of all the hours I spent waiting in the terminals, I’ve only ever saw planes use that runway for departures!
Same, and I literally searched everywhere to try to find another landing on this runway and I couldn't find one anywhere.
Hey hey! My favorite flight producer ❤
I’m glad you enjoy the videos my friend! Thanks for watching!

I’ve never seen an airport with so much open land within the airport itself
On a UA flight into DEN, the pilot said the airport sits on over 50 square miles of area. That's just ridiculous!
