Classic Atlanta Airplane Spotting (December 2001/Post-9/11) Part 1

- Опубликовано: 17 апр 2024
- In this installment of my Wayback Wings series, we go to December 2001 and an overnight stay at the Renaissance Concourse Hotel at Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport (ATL). This was the first part of a trip to Montego Bay, Jamaica for a family Christmas trip and we built the stay into our trip down, which made for a great afternoon and evening of spotting from the avgeek-famous hotel adjacent to ATL's north runways.
In this first part, you'll see (and hear) a number of long-since-retired aircraft types, airlines, and liveries. Part 2 is on a separate tape and will follow soon.
Thanks for your support thus far; I'm stunned at the response to the ATL-CMH flight from March 2001, which blew the doors off anything else I've posted so far. I have another dozen or so videos of various lengths and origins which will be added in the coming months as I have time to digitize them.

Awesome to see at this time, Delta had 3 different liveries represented on their aircraft. Great spotting in ATL.
The only other time I can recall a carrier being like this was United in 2011 during the Continental merger, where you could see Blue Tulips and Battleship Grey Tulips alongside Continental Globes.
I remember deliberately taking some of those wide angle shots of the maintenance ramp to catch all three of them at the same time!
16:49 N551NW is still flying for Delta. The pilots declared an emergency for a "flap disagree" while en route from SAV to ATL on the morning of 4/18/24.
What a coincidence in terms of a time to put the video up, huh?
@@JetWithJS Definitely!
It’s weird seeing how Atlanta airport has evolved over the years, once a diverse range of aircraft but now it’s mainly 737’s and Airbus aircraft are more common.
This is a GEM! Thank you so much for bringing my old airport back to life
Glad you enjoyed!
Amazing to see footage from ATL when aviation was at its finest! Thank you so much for posting 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it!
You think that just after 9/11 was when aviation was at its finest?
@@hingle_mccringleberry I’m talking about when airlines still had a great fleet and detailed liveries, when there was verity of aircraft to see
@@jwaviation16 pretty sure you’re thinking of the 70s and 80s
@@hingle_mccringleberry the 80s through the 2000s is where I view aviation as being at its finest
Love this!! I love that Northwest 757 in the Bowling Shoe Livery
I was actually surprised to see it! I didn't remember it being in the video. I thought they were all DC-9s.
@@JetWithJS oh wow! That’s interesting lol. And yeah they had those, some 747’s, a319s? And I’m sure a bunch of other things. I remember seeing them at my bigger airport when I was a kid. Those distinctive red tails. It’s a shame they’re not around anymore
@@KingstonAddict Yeah Northwest had a great fleet. At this time they had:
-3 variants of the 747(phasing out the -100s at the time of this video)
-2 variants of the DC-10
-757-200s
-727-200s
-A320s & A319s
-3 variants of the DC-9
-About to get their A330s and 757-300s.
Not even including their Airlink fleet.
A good time for both airlines of the future merger in an uncertain time for so many. Definitely great archive footage.
I really miss air Jamaica 🇯🇲, thank you for this video. I remember my final time flying in air Jamaica 🇯🇲 ; pre-9/11 (late March 2001), on the Kingston (KIN) 🇯🇲 to Grand Cayman (GCM) 🇰🇾 leg, on board their Airbus 320, before they ceased operations in 2011. Memories.
Man, this takes me back. Thanks for sharing.
Less than 1yr later I was a flight attendant for ASA, working on the Brasilias, ATRs & very early CRJs
I flew on N913DL 5 days before she was retired. She was the 2nd oldest MD-88 in the fleet. I had to get one last day of flying on the MD-88 in before they were retired. Flew KIAD - KATL on N913DL in the morning and back on N916DL that evening.
My last MD-88 flight was in September 2019- I had no idea at the time.
great video, love to see this old stuff
ASA ATRs ❤❤❤
I'm more than partial to the Brasilias myself!
Awesome! Thanks.
Damn! They're not getting RNAV headings after departure cuz they didn't exist yet!
Nice video! also i was on N684DA irl!
Me too!
was TSA already in place during this immediate post-9/11 era or were they doing a sorta transition security from the former private companies to TSA? Curious about the 90s-00s era of aviation in general
I can't remember off-hand but, either way, security was TSA-like.
How do you know what flights are what? FR24 wasn’t a thing yet was it?
The BTS Transtats database, combined with the ATC audio and old timetables. The database is a hidden gem if you're into trying to find out which airplanes you flew after 1994; I'm thinking of doing a how-to video if people are interested.
@@JetWithJS oh I already have a database of my past registrations from that website. Unfortunately I guess they took off TWA.
I saw a air Jamaica!
Good ole air Jamaica 🇯🇲 .
It's honestly wierd that airlines that had like nothing to do with 9/11 shut down because of it but the airlines invovled in it are still standing.
Don't you mean still flying? I didn't know that an airline had legs
Obviously
Its associated to a bit of factors. First, after 9/11 airports were empty, the industry itself wasnt profitable until 2006 so business was going downward for much of these airlines. Its what led to many going defunct. However United and American are some of the bigger ones. Even though they were involved with the attacks, they were still the biggest airlines in the nation (and continue to be to this day) which is why they were able to survive unlike the lesser known airlines
Check out the 707
The Airborne Express? DC-8!
do an AI upscaled version please
How do I use Transtats to get acft info of old flights?
I'll see if I can do a tutorial video, as it might be a bit easier for everyone to figure it out visually.
Sweet. I just found an envelope with my old ticket stubs of flights from 90s/2000s. TWA, Continental, Airtran, US Air, Northwest, etc!
Hi
Howdy!
