I took a flight to America's highest commercial airport to find out what it's like landing on top of the world, onboard a super cool Denver Air Connection Dornier 328JET.

The First Officer, AJ, is my old roommate and co-worker. He’s a great guy and amazing pilot! The day you flew with him, he sent me a picture of the stickers you gave him. I was jealous he had the opportunity to fly you around to some beautiful parts of the US!
What a small world!
You made a mistake by not visiting Telluride. It is one of the most beautiful towns in the world.
You're so lucky to be flying in these rare birds such as this Dornier 328 jet when you fly with Denver Air connection, or any other minor airline that still have these old and rare aircrafts flying, as this aircraft is also old but gold! And what an incredible ride when you landed at Telluride airport, and at least in my own perspective, this is better than approaching Lukla airport in Nepal which can be scarier. Yikes!
This is another reason to go to the usa
Just go to Denmark we have a few of them😄
@@cargoflug really? that's amzing! the Netherlands to Denmark is way more cheaper.
You can still fly the Fairchild metroliner in australia via Sharp Airlines. Great aircraft.
I love how he flies regular class, eats regular food, and stays at regular hotels. Very relatable and informative. I love Kara and Nate but they get a little boujie 🤣🤣
I really miss old school Kara and Nate when they were staying in cheap airbnbs and not doing all that over-the-top sponsored stuff.
JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT
TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE
WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE
SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS!
SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL
LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR
ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A
BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT IF YOU
REJECT HIM, TOTAL SEPARATION FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE,
JOY, HOPE, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE, YOU WILL BE
HOPELESS, YOU WILL BE IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER!
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD, GOD IN
THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE AND LAID DOWN HIS LIFE AS AN
OFFERING FOR ALL PEOPLE'S SINS! YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT
& PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY
FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU
WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT ON JUDGEMENT DAY & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR
SINS. WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE
FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/PRIEST/MARY OR SAINT DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO
IDOLS OR FALSE GODS DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ACTOR OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR
YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE!
HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK SOON WITH JUDGEMENT! PREPARE YOURSELVES!
IT'S NOT ABOUT RELIGION, TITHING, CHURCH... IT STARTS WITH ASKING HIM
TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS & INVITING HIM INTO YOUR HEART/LIFE, SURRENDER
ALL TO HIM! IT'S ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CREATOR, DON'T WAIT TO
CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM
IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!

“For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23
Theve literally been living in a van for most of the last 2 years lol
@@paulstephen3867 Only because of Covid. And how much did they pay for that Mercedes van? I love them, don’t get me wrong, but Noel’s way of traveling is more realistic for the average person.
More realistic he travels mostly in business and first class I certainly couldn't do that and probably the same price as your average person car but also its there house aswell so they saved money and they also get offered free stuff like the posh tree house and if I got that offer I'd take it
I flew my Cessna 172 into Telluride last fall. Absolute breathtaking and exhilarating approach! It’s amazing the DAC pilots opt to land the more difficult rwy 27 approach whereas the private jets all land straight in rwy 9 with a tail wind. Just speaks to the abilities of DAC’s pilots taking that larger jet into a tight left downwind to base approach.
Noel, next time rent a plane and fly yourself into Telluride. Add North America’s highest commercial airport into your logbook!
Was that a standard 172 with the 160 hp engine? Can you share your performance numbers?
@@raym8377 Thought someone would ask! It's a 1977 R172K HAWK XP with the 210hp conversion. Constant speed prop as well. I was able to climb out at 400fpm with the airport Density Altitude at 11,500ft that day.
Seeing the Black Canyon of the Gunnison from the sky was pretty awesome!
Mr. Philips I just want to say that I thoroughly enjoy your videos/adventures as I have medical issues that don't allow me to travel so I travel vicariously through you.... excellent job good sir!!!!!
great aircraft, they are actually starting production again (more or less)
they are building an "eco" version, so basically just adding new modern engines i think
The D328eco is an upgrade to the original Do328 rather than the 328Jet.
@@JBS319 i honestly didn't know that there's a difference between the two lol
@@EinfachLuap props vs jets
@@JBS319 oh well i knew that, i thought you meant there were 2 different kind of jets hahaha
I just spit out my coffee when you talked about skiing! LOL Enjoyed the video very much looking forward to the next.
😄
Thank you for flying with us it was a pleasure having you I am a ramp and load bags onto to the Aircraft telluride is so beautiful
It would be good to see the take off in full without speeding it up. It's the best thing about flying, the power, the acceleration, and finally leaving the ground
Flew a 182 into Leadville CO back in the day. Got a certificate for landing at the highest airport in the US…..9934’. 🤩
When I saw the title I almost thought he flew to Leadville! Someone needs to hook Noel up with a trip there!
So close to 10,000 feet.
being recognized by the pilot, you're the man, Noel 😀
I love the fact the pilots spend their breaks watching RUclipsrs and their trips. It's great they recognised you Noel, I just hope one day somebody doesn't say 'I think I saw you on the FBI's Most Wanted list'!
Awesome to see you taking this flight! Telluride is definitely my favorite place to ski. Also, I’ve gotten to fly the Dornier 328Jet as well, but just from Ironwood, MI to Minneapolis-St. Paul (also with Denver Air Connection). It’s such a fun experience.
I kept getting distracted by the hostess when she walked past...she is fit 😆 also Noel, I agree with the comments below, I think it would be better if you filmed the takeoffs at normal speed, much more interesting. 🙂

One thing I feel should be mentioned is Denver Air Connections' incredible product. I flew on their 328 Jet and it has very comfortable seats compared to other economy airlines. The snack selection they offer is unparalleled by any other airline's economy product. Full-size candy, chips, full bottles of beverages. Best economy flight I have ever had
7:00 Looks like Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Underrated National Park.....
dornier 328 one of my favourites
Gotta come visit Nebraska when it’s warm. Love hearing all the good things you had to say about it.
Since you used a BAe146 silhouette for the map segment, fun fact, the BAe146 was a workhorse for United in the 1990s on flights out of Denver to Rocky Mountain airports like ASE and EGE. When Continental also had a Denver hub, they competed on these routes directly with the even more rare Dash 7.
I flew several times on the BAe146 back in the day PSA smiling birds still dominated the California corridors between LAX and SFO.
@@TheGospelQuartetParadise Me too! Brings back childhood memories. My mom and I used to fly the PSA BAe-146's from SJC to SNA in the summer to meet my grandparents for a few days at Disneyland. Other times we'd fly on an AirCal 737-200. Good memories!
Next time you should stop in Colorado springs just 70 miles south of Denver, it's a beautiful flight down. You fly right next to the Rockies only 30 min low flight 👍
Next time you go out of Dia's A gates it's easier to use the security on the bridge.
If you are ever in that area of Colorado again, do a trip review of the narrow gage steam train from Durango to Silverton. It is not too far away.
Wonderful journey to Telluride, and thank you for shooting your videos in interesting and entertaining locations, especially showing remote / "local" destinations. The approach (as you said) into Telluride is magnificent, and the video didn't do it justice (as you also said). I'm sure its just a snow + white balance or contrast thing, or perhaps the fact the footage was artificially sped up on approach when it could have just been left alone, and viewers would have had time to look at the interesting scenery? What do you think in retrospect Noel?
Noel, what you might like to try is riding some of those narrow-gauge railroads through the mountains. I'm not sure how many are around, but even some of the ones between the smaller towns are fun and were still in use.
The one I remember well is the one between Cripple Creek and Victor, Colorado. While it was a small steam train for tourists, The kids from Victor used it as their ,bus system to go to school, this was back in the sixties, and not sure if it is still around. Victor and Cripple Creek were in the same sports league as my high school, I graduated in 1971.
I love Denver international ❤️❤️🤦🏾♀️
Im always fascinated with mountains and altitude, so this was genuinely such a great vid to watch.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it.
You need to add Teguicigalpa, Honduras to your bucket list.
You should go to pueblo Colorado cool little airport
Lucky. I always wanted to do this trip.
I'm pleased to see this video hit the sweet-spot of 15-20 minutes long.
Nice, this is such a cool plane to get a ride on, not very common. I did the same trip in November 2022, but in reverse. PHX-TEX-DEN, and it was snowing in both Telluride, and Denver. Flying out of Telluride in snow is a whole different experience, not to mention the wild turbulence on approach into TEX that day.
Such a sweet small jet!!
Noel, forgot the link to the video of your flight to Nebraska at 3:00 in. Loving this video… Telluride isn’t quite as extreme as Lukkla, but it’s pretty dramatic, just the same.
I think it depends on what you're watching the video on. I find if watching on my phone, on screen links don't appear whereas they do when watching on a laptop or PC.
Thank you for visiting my state. We are glad you came!
Thanks for having me!
You’ve got a gorgeous camera. Lovely!
I've been to Telluride for a blue and brews festival.
Love your videos of strange places, keep up the good work Noel :-)
Many thanks!
Hope to catch you again sometime in Phoenix, I work in the same terminal as DAC here
A lovely part of the world; some stunning scenery on show. A great video again 👍
Never got to see this airport when I lived in Colorado wish I did
Lovely little Dornier! Nice vid!
Great customized mask, Noel.
Hi Noel, what a fantastic jet the Do328 is, it looks relatively spacious inside. In certain respects it reminds me of one of my favourite airplanes BAe 146 only a younger brother having only developed 2 jets instead of 4! And yes hence my "handle" Zero G. I remember the beautiful Jersey Airlines 146's coming into Gatwick.
An airline near my home town used some dornier 328´s from British airways/Sun Air, it wasnt very spacious in my opinion, but still a great little aircraft
Superb video. Short but the quality of this/your videos is excellent Noel.
Many thanks!
Great to see DAC getting some love. I flew N394DC in seat 10A, and I probably would have sat in your exact seat if it weren’t for weight distribution!
Just got back from Telluride and watched this with the kids. We can't believe you didn't pop in to the town and the mountain village!
Ever since I was a child I’ve always had a phobia of aeroplanes but since discovering your channel last year I now think I will respond well to going on a plane and will look forward to going instead of dreading. Thank you so much to you ❤️
Very enjoyable vlog Noel . Lovely rare haulage on the Do328 jet too .
Many thanks!
I love those Turbine Jet Dash 8's
Noel i have to say, all of your videos are great but i particularly love the ones where you travel to smaller airports such as Telluride and Alliance.
This is such a magical trip. The 2nd flight is from the snowy mountains to the desert. I really admire the setting of Telluride, it's like being in a 60s Bond movie.
Noel next time you are in Denver I would love to take you around town show you some of the sights etc 😀 I work on the rtd train security at Dia feel free to come stop by the transit security booth.
Would be funny to see Noel get stranded at DIA because RTD cancelled the train. The A line and RTD are pathetic.
@@CaptainBuzzBee this is sadly true try being the second crew member who is stuck dealing with all the angry passengers when it happens. It's ridiculous I only do it to pay my bills.
people in NA don't say , "the whole of the USA." we usually say, the entire, or all of!
People from El Alto, Bolivia watching this. "It's NOTHING TO ME! IT'S A BACTERIA I TRAVEL IN WORLDS YOU CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE, YOU CAN'T CONCEIVE OF WHAT I'M CAPABLE OF"
My nephew is a News Reporter for the NPR radio station in Telluride, KOTO-FM. One of these days I hope to be able to visit him and check out the beautiful scenery.
You definitely should.
You need to fly into Monterey California airport. Very nice also.
I was a flight attendant for Skyway airlines before they were Skywest and we flew 328 jets! Surprisingly they don’t have reverse thrust on those aircraft’s yeah and the lavatory is small.
Nice to see you in the USA again. Great video on an aircraft that isn't common in the US. I've flown on the prop 328 a long time ago when Horizon Air had them in the early 90's. I always enjoyed that aircraft and wanted to fly the jet version.
Thanks for sharing
Absolutely beautiful views!😍🤩 Thank you so much for sharing.👍
Thanks for watching.
@@noelphilips you're welcome. Have a great day.
Another great video ! Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it
Along with all the other superlatives on that flight, I have to add the flight attendant to the list. She certainly was easy on the eyes.
How refreshing to find the airline's CEO up on the flight deck. I wish that airline every success.
Good content, but you really need to adjust your frame rate to cope with light flicker. It was very evident in this video. Make sure to set your GoPro to NTSC, when in the US and PAL, when in the UK. I know, it's a pain in edit, but that should resolve the flickering.
Fellow Brit here. Flew from San Francisco to Vail, CO last night and off to Denver tomorrow. Just missed you!
Brilliant Noel
You need to make a trip up to Chadron NE which is just north of alliance by about 50 miles. Southern Airways Express makes daily flights up there. Alliance and chadron used to be served by the same airline for several years until recently. Like alliance the airport is outside of town by about five miles. Getting a ride into town and back I don’t think would be an issue as people are just as friendly and hospitable there as in alliance.
Damn this gave me nostalgia to the telluride landing mission in fsx , looks very much identical too!
Love the variety off your different vlogs really is great on a Sunday to see what's coming up , 👌👍👍
Glad to hear it!
I dunno why DIA gets so much hate. I live in Denver and fly far less often than many others, but I have always liked the airport here.
not that you said anything disparaging about it, it just seems that in my experience a lot of people remark they don't like it.
Nice stuff. Not very often you get to fly with a pilot who also owns the airline. Looking forward for more. Hopefully someday here in JAM🇯🇲
You always make me smile with you witty comments 🤣
Great work on this nice plane. I have flown one out of Caticlan in Borocay on minimum runway and full brake release and great to see a few around. Happy and safe travels everyone and all workers asx well as all around the world they do a fantastic job .
Amazing shot you got of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Thanks for sharing!
Such stunning views, thanks so much for showing these flights to us that otherwise we probably wouldn't know existed or at least have any reason to go on them.
It is my pleasure!
Took a prop 328 a couple decades ago. Nice little plane
Ultimate air out of Burke lakefront airport here in downtown Cleveland flys these things as well.
Been expecting the new vlog. Love the scenic view of the rockies.. Till the next vlog.. Safe travels and Godbless, Noel. 🙏👍👍
More to come!
Thanks for sharing
Love ur videos from Italy 🇮🇹
Very awesome video👍. Good news, Mr. Noel. You are clear to visit Indonesia🇲🇨 by the end of this month.
Can't wait to visit!
Noel, sorry, but Leadville, CO. IS THE HIGHEST AIRPORT IN THE UNITED STATES. Telluride falls under it. Telluride is the highest airport with commercial traffic.
Pity you were only in Telluride, CO, for a layover - that whole area is just stunning! I personally prefer the town of Ouray to Telluride, lots of lovely historic buildings, beautiful hiking trails, and a wonderful municipal hot spring (with no sulfur smell, yay!). Further South, you've got Durango, home of the Durango-Silverton excursion train. Lots to love about SW Colorado - stay for awhile next time!
Love the video Noel! Also at 5:50 Paul “Wingin’ It” Lucas used that song on his final KLM Business Class 747-400 Flight (CUR-AMS)! Great music choice & great video!!!
There is a Jaguar car at the bottom of one of the 2 cliffs at the end of the runway
Noel just before Aspen you would have flown over Leadville which is the highest non commercial airport and highest town in the country. Hopefully you can check it out in a smaller private plane someday.
I few into the airport near Steamboat Springs, CO -- quite high.
First commercial operation out of San Bernardino Airport coming soon . Allure Airlines flying to San Francisco. San Bernardino was Norton AFB and has had an empty 10 gate terminal for a decade. I’m hoping you can catch this flight !
Too bad you weren’t able to catch a general aviation flight to Lake County Airport in Leadville, CO. At 9,934’ altitude it is the highest airport in North America.
Been to telluride a few time my sister lives there, wonderful place you must stop there some time for a short stay
Good video again and the spectacular view you had on the phone with the snow on the ground and the beautiful blue skies 👍
Thanks 👍
Looking very nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
@@noelphilips You are welcome.
Damn that stewardess on that flight was beautiful. My type
Pretty cool the pilot aj recognized you!
Best
Engine View
Ever?
I'd say the E145 is even cooler 😎
8:16 a few more seconds of *that* and the missus will start asking questions. But we do appreciate your strugglin', thanks for sharin'...
Fairly sure The Grand Tour did part of the ‘Jaaaaaag’ episode at Telluride Airport. Think they raced on the runway.
The crew on these small planes work so hard. If you’re ever in Australia again, Rex, Qantas and Skytrans do the milk runs around NW Queensland and they’re typically single cabin crew and two pilots with multiple take off and landings every day.
YAY denver!
