(4K) Afternoon Rush at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport

[@phillipquinley9684]

The Korean Air 747-8i is such a beautiful plane. Wish more carriers used them.

[@aviationhub5622]

With rising fuel cost we may see them soon be retired, like the a380. But I would give 10-20 years.

[@davidca96]

Its great seeing at least some of them out there. I wish U.S. carriers would use them but sadly that doesnt seem likely to ever happen the way things are going.

9:57 good god the 747-8i is such a gorgeous plane

[@LeppAviation]

Though I strongly prefer the sound of the -400, I totally agree! The 747-8i is probably the most beautiful plane out there!

[@blumac9801]

Lepp Aviation the RB211s sound better, but these GEnx engines are more fuel efficient

Great video. Ironically I work at AHJ Airport and at least 3-4 times a week I work on getting the Korean 747-8 cleaned up for the turn-around flight back to Seoul. The flight arrives around 9:30 AM daily and myself and a crew of about 30 others have 1-1:15 hours to get it cleaned up.

What do you expect, since ATL is Delta's Hub, you'll see more Deltas than anything else. Delta was rated no.1 so far for this year. Nice video and yes, it's always rush hour or rush, rush hour.

[@rondonkers4662]

I know about the rush in the afternoon at Atlanta, although it is about 25 years ago. After leaving the gate as scheduled, ending up in a queue at the taxi lane. Just to hear planes taking off for over a hour, then see planes taking off at the runway (through the planes windows) for half a hour and at last after more than a hour and a half we lift off. Luckily I caught my plane to the Netherlands at Chicago O'Hare airport because the gate I arrived was near the gate I left.

Didn’t realize that many MD8’s were still in service!! Dirty planes though!! Like watching a B-707😳😜😜

[@Springbok295]

One time I was flying out of ATL to ORD on an early morning flight on a 727 in 1990. I counted nearly 40 planes in line behind us to take off. The weather was fog and rain so that didn't help matters much in getting flights away on time.

[@LeppAviation]

That's awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@arnoldsherrill6305]

I used to work at Hartsfield 94-97 as part of security at the NWA hanger early in the morning after shift change as the sun was coming up you could watch planes lining up to land and it look like a string of diamonds off in the distance if Hartsfield was that busy then you can imagine what it's like now with five runways in full operation during rush it's unreal if you want to see what it's like on radar you can download ADSB flight tracker Lite from Google Play set the flight routes for North America and then select Atlanta and watch the fun note make sure you set it at a dsb Exchange when indicated and this is also a visual server which means it can be turned off by the server owners at any time

[@bigfox9218]

Quick question, why is it that the person who name the planes out putting Delta B717's as MD-88?...Did I missed something?🤔

[@kid2digit]

You mean that in the video they misidentified some B717's as MD-88's? There were a lot of MD-88's when I watched, they called out tail numbers, and you could see the tail numbers on most. I'm really impressed that some of the Mad Dogs are still is use after 1/3 of a century! Impressive.

[@bigfox9218]

@@kid2digit I know they were MDs I work with them on a ramp,inside of them were built like tanks but come on forget about getting them MDs anymore and call them B717 which they were reconstructed to be lol

Big airports such as hartsfield (5 runways), O'Hara (chicago has 10 runways), Dallas? ?runways, and other u.s. airports . These airports 3 air planes can take off at the same time or 3 planes can land at the same time . Food for thought

When we were kids in the 60's we would go to College Park, Ga and watch the planes as long as we wanted to. Great view of the runway and the whole airport. But not anymore. Of course, the airport is 4 times the size as it was then. I don't know how you got those shots without being shot, the way it is there now!

[@Kevin2297.]

amazing video! this is why i subscribed! quality content. love it. also, at the 6:40 mark, that has to be the biggest plane i have ever seen. also ive never heard of an airline called Cathay Pacific. where do they normally run to and from?

[@LeppAviation]

Cathay Pacific is the official airline of Hong Kong, but they also fly cargo, which frequently flies from large US cities to Anchorage then to Asia. Thanks for watching!

[@RobinterMaat]

Fantastic video! Great work

[@sticksteves7499]

Nice video bud! Love seeing KATL in action.

[@_MSD75_]

I'm amazed that US airlines still operate such old planes like the MD-88's, not to say they're unsafe but so old! And no other major airline still uses them. I think Delta is phrasing them out?

[@LeppAviation]

Yep, kinda like the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" These were the workhorses in Delta's fleet because they were simpler, reliable, and perfect for what they were used for! Sadly yes, they are beginning to phase them out with the introduction of the A220, A321, and 737-900.

[@Sweetteawillie]

Lepp Aviation I can tell that you have an affection for the Queen of the skies. She's one aircraft I have not experienced but am still in awe of. Great videography and location. I had many trips through KATL between KWAS and KMLU in the '70s with the DC-9 and B-727.
