I was fortunate enough to be on a flight that got a water cannon salute. They announced it over the intercom so people wouldn't freak out. Quite a few people were annoyed and thought it was dumb. Me - honored to be on that last flight.
thanks Peter, very cool! lovely salute for a retiring Captain.. i'm sure it's a bitter/sweet moment.. time to retire but will miss flying and all the people they worked with ❤ all the best and many happy years of retirement!! 🎉
You guys are as good as the best MLB announcers. You take something that may be mundane to many and make it the event of the year, allowing those that that don't normally appreciate such things to become enthusiasts. Seriously great work, all!!!!! All the best in 2024, may it be your best year of your life and the beginning of great results in all you attempt to do!!!!!
I didn't even know what a "Water Cannon Salute" was until I saw the Lufthansa A380 last week and now I have seen two in ten days. Happy retirement to the Captain of Southwest Airlines and to Captain Christian of Lufthansa Airlines. Thank you Peter for this awesome footage and to @DADJOKES for the unique from the plane footage! #teamlaflights
So awesome how LA Flights has captured two water cannon salutes in such a short time span. Happy retirement to the Captain! #teamlaflights #bestinthebiz #onemorewatercannonsalute
Too bad there is no horn on the plane! *Peter you bring us such good content and allow us to experience so many special aviation moments that I'm afraid some television news station is going to steal you from us! I am so impressed!!* Congratulations to the retiree. And thank you *DadJokes* for the footage.
It's a symbolic gesture that goes on all around the world for retiring airline captains. They keep tens of thousands of passengers safe for all their years of flight. 😊
@@GinnyChartier I believe @rkhanji 's comment is a reference to the fact that LAX was unable to do water cannon salutes for several years until now, due an extended western states drought.
Can't believe we have been able to witness two water cannon salutes in less than a week! Just beautiful. 😊

Very nice video
Awesome water spray action for the retirement of the Captain. Thanks so much for that Peter, see you soon
I hope the pilot finds your video
Wonderful sendoff to the captain. 1111 is an auspicious flight number. Maybe that was deliberately assigned?

They shouldn’t have to retire if in good physical and mental health.
Another pilot retires, sigh. They are an endangered species!
Thanks @dadjokes for the extra view
