26 years ago today. I will always love aviation.

The old Delta "Widget" Livery design that began in 1961 was the best Delta livery and one of the best of all airlines. I sorely miss seeing it.

Awesome footage of ATL from 1997. So great to see the variety of aircraft and airlines at ATL. Especially the international airlines. An Eastern Airlines 757 was visible along with the early introduction of Delta's new livery at the time. Thanks so much for posting this snapshot of airline history.

I got the chance to fly N900PC out of Atlanta 25 years later in 2023, what a great time capsule of a video!

19:36 Is that just me or do i hear the chime and the "CAREFUL ! Doors are closing" announcement ?

These airplanes were much better and safer than the horrible planes of today. The MD-11, L-1011, 747-300, 727-200 and A340-600 all shown in this video, have more than 2 engines. Unlike the airplanes of today that go overseas with 2 engines. It is a shame.

This always shows up when I type "plane spotting at Newark"

This is fantastic! I was at Air Wisconsin in Chicago at this time. Good stuff!

Thanks for all the focus on the Dornier 328. Such a lovely aircraft. Unfortunately it didn't live up to its manufactuer's performance promises.

Just wowI fueled ZW around that time. What memories! Thanks for uploading!

Interesting little Dornier 328

This was filmed 8 days after I was born….crazy to see all the airlines I grew up around and now a lot of them aren’t around anymore

OMG this is mid 90's Nostalgia at it's best. God bless whoever uploaded this video!

18:50 train

The best Delta livery! 👍🏻

This was two years before my bornth.

Not a plane white non-descriptive accountant special paint scheme in sight! The Delta livery for some reason always brought a sense of exotic destinations Ie Florida the Deep South etc Now it’s an awful livery

Crazy to see this. Now concourse E is a parking lot and I’m sure will soon be gone after the renovations at airside.

(Middle School Student Holding a camcorder) Middle School Girl: Wow Teacher: we're waiting for a Newark Bound Flite. Middle School Girl: I bought a Cartons of Nestle Quik, because I need it for my bones to grow.

We were a USAir family. I enjoyed the nostalgia of seeing the livery again. 😊

Great footage. A classic era

Wow I can’t believe that Lufthansa a340 was only four months old in this video

I was working that day

By this video, Harry Stonecipher had already killed McDonnell Douglas and Boeing would take over in a few months. That Delta MD-11 sure was the most comfortable ride ever. They are the only ones in this video still operating as of 06/23. Interesting to see NW, VJ, US, etc still operating and those JT8 hushkits...

Plane spotters were crap back in the day 😂

The days when we still had some normal people still alive. And it was still fun to fly not anymore.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful time capsule. 25 years later and the 757s are still flying!!

Thank you Alan for a BEAUTIFUL step back to better days.

8:30 typical delta pilot. wont approach the gate due to a candy bar wrapper on the tarmac.

Delta got a lot of air miles over the years with that Lockheed L-1011 fleet .

TriStar 500 @7:00 in its twilight of service

This was the "Golden Age" of the 1990s for Delta, fresh of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. At the time my dad flew 757/767s for Delta based out of CVG. He used to say the road to Hell must go through Atlanta, just like every Delta flight.

At one point, this airport was one of the best and busiest in the America. It's sad to see it (and CVG) as a shell of it's former self.

I cannot believe this was so long ago this was like before I was born

Miss those old american, delta, and united liveries.

Good ole days!

Also this brings me back to the good old days of when a family regardless of age of passenger or traveling at all can go and either accompany someone or meet them at the gate. That all ended after September 11th Which Ironically there is a shot of the towers standing

Newark airport the airport I frequent the most on the East Coast

I wish ACA would have kept their Dash-8 Aircraft when they operated as UE instead of replacing them with the J-41 theJ-41 was ok however I like the dash better I had to chuckle the first time I flew on one when you close the door to use the lavatory the Flight Attendant jumpseat would also bein the lavatory

so, this is how Atlanta Airport looks like before 18 days I born!

Way better than jetliners of today!

Also watching the heavies and international flights lining up and waiting on the then 32L for their long flights...

Working at night, the United dark livery made their craft turn invisible, therefore I was not a fan. I missed the polish livery of AA, so much I went to the American Airlines Maintenance Academy at MDW and became an A and P...

This was literally a month after I was downsized from the job I had been at twenty years due to 9-11. Had gone thru here a week earlier for manager meetings. Man, it seems like a long time, but again it doesn’t.

I loved Midwest Express the first Airline I worked for, had good pass benefits with them and I tried to fly them whenever I could

4:14-4:36 Continental Express (Pre ExpressJet) ATR-42 I was a Flight Attendant for them May 1997-August 1998 except o was based in Cleveland The ATR did not fly in and-out of Cleveland when I worked for them however once I was given a 3 day trip working Onboard the ATR-42 loved that plane. Out of Cleveland when I worked for them Express flew the Beech EMB-120 and the EMB-145

magnificent to see that Delta Md -11 in its prime ,

That was on my birthday. I had worked for Delta for 22 years then. retired after working for Delta for 32 years.

Delta employees actually bought a 767 for Delta. Ship # 102 named " The spirit of Delta"

I miss the old Delta Livery from the early 1990s
