I apologize for the soft focus on arrival. I’m not sure why the camera decided not to focus completely. It looked fine when recording and I only noticed it during editing. I tried to sharpen the image up but that didn’t fix it completely. In the end, I didn’t want to waste the footage though, so I did the best I could to fix it. Thanks for watching everyone!

No worries, it's part of the territory. All it takes is one speck on a window or glass to totally fool autofocus sometimes

Glad you like them! And that's a great idea. There are some channels that already do similar things. Major Tom is my favorite.

@@sla31 Do you have the new 2020 version? The graphics in it are fantastic. But I can’t afford to get the new computer hardware it requires. I have the flight simulator X steam edition and I love it. I use megascenery earth for the terrain, Active Sky Next for weather which downloads enroute real world weather live, and PACX for a sense of in flight ambient realism.

It's interesting how AA uses a long-hauler on such a short JFK_MIA route. But that just makes the route 100% cooler and more enjoyable. Nice vid!

I appreciate that my friend. Thanks and there's plenty more on the way! From Florida that is. I just got back form Tampa this morning.

Minus the maintenance issue that caused us to return to the gate and take a 1.5 hour delay, it was a very smooth flight haha.

Hey Traveler, he flies parallel to the coast and over Ft Lauderdale and turns inland out over the Everglades for the Big U Turn and an Eastbound landing into Miami !! Drops gear at 2:49:00 Like Buttah !!

[@reynataylor22]

If I’m not mistaken, you’ve been to DFW Airport before and I’m flew on some flights from there. I hope that I can maybe even get to be on the same flight as you.

[@sla31]

I've been to DFW a lot. So much that people assume that it's my home airpot. When in reality I'm from Joplin, Missouri. DFW is my most visited airport though. I have flown through DFW 247 times in the last 10 years. And who knows, as much as I fly, we may just share a flight some day.

The airspeed indicators weren't functioning. That's pretty important to have before taking off haha. Thanks for watching!

[@thepho3nix127]

Why did you have to turn back to the gate? Also another great video keep up the great work🔥

[@sla31]

As the pilot mentioned in his announcement, the airspeed system wasn’t working properly. This plane had been sitting in a hangar at JFK for several days before this flight. One wonders if they forgot to take the pitot tube covers off 😂. Whatever it was, we spent about 45 minutes sitting at the gate.

[@Furdnik]

After departure, why does it turn north instead of south?

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

Great fly! Have you heard JetBlue agrees to buy Spirit for $3.8 billion while Spirit and Frontier terminated merger deal? What do you think?

[@sla31]

I did. A move I was very much in favor of. I'll be honest, this move likely means airfare will eventually rise in the US, as a major ultra low cost carrier is going away, but JetBlue provides a much better product than Spirit ever has. So, I see that as a win.

[@ultrametric9317]

Great vid - what ordeal necessitated a return to gate?

[@sla31]

The airspeed indicators weren't working. Now, whether it was a pitot tube problem, or the software I'm not sure. All I know is what the Captain announced, which was that they weren't getting airspeed indications. This plane had been in a hangar for several days before this flight, presumably for maintenance. I wondered if someone forgot to take the pitot tube covers off haha.

[@ilovelevators3699]

Oh, wow JFK I took off from JFK about a month ago.

[@omeganoob5035]

oh my gut

[@popeyesheng310]

Why did it come back to gate?

[@sla31]

Our airspeed indicators weren't working. Pretty important system once you get in the air, so it's a good thing they noticed before we took off haha. It took 1.5 hours to fix and get us back on our way.

[@mustafayuruk4638]

Why u aircraft get u back the gate

[@sla31]

The airspeed indication system wasn't working. So, we took a 1.5 hour delay after going back to the gate, and it was fixed. Thanks for watching!

How long was the flight.

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

4 hours and 39 minutes. Look at the description under the video.

[@sla31]

The flight was 4 hours 39 minutes, but that’s a lot to do with the maintenance problem that forced us back to the gate at JFK. The actual in air time was what you see here. This is the full flight. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@deltawestunitedofficial9502]

How long is this flight?

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

Read the description, 4 hours and 39 minutes.

[@sla31]

The total time was 4 hours 39 minutes. That’s mainly Because we spent 1.5 hours at the gate due or the maintenance problem we had during our taxi. So the actual flight time is what you see in the video. 3 hours.

[@BKeane22]

this is gonna be a sick video. I know I asked you a million questions a few days ago but I'm sorry just one more: do you ever need to worry about your phone's battery life on these long-ish flights? Is that why you have 3 phones or no? Oh and why did they have to return to the gate? Sorry if they mentioned it. And you accidentally added two colons for the "Inbound Taxi" chapter

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

Lol why would he have 3 iPhones? He has a power bank or portable charger for that reason.

[@sla31]

I fly with a 20,000mah battery bank. This provides plenty of power to while filming. I don’t typically use it during takeoff and landing, for several reasons, but I do use it during cruising. So iPhones generate a ton of heat when filming in 4K. Even more so when charging. So, you really can’t charge until you’re at altitude and the window has gotten cold. That cold air around the window keeps the phone cool enough to not overheats. I have a standard Onn power bank from Walmart haha and it’s worked done for years now.

[@sla31]

@@RoadsOfAsiaBen yes, I do travel with 3 iPhones. One 1TB iPhone 13 Pro and two 512 GB iPhone 12 Pros. Filming at 4K 60fps takes up tons of space. I have 3 iPhones as backups for when the first one runs out of footage.

You're rich to take plane every day

[@sla31]

I don't fly every day. I upload every day, but uploading every day doesn't mean I fly every day. I fly around 8 days per month. And when I fly, I fly for this channel. So, I often take 3 or 4 segments per day. Sometimes 5, and my record is 6 in one day. That gets me a minimum of 24 segments per month. Usually more. And I am rich, but likely not in the way you mean when you call me rich. Statistically speaking, I'm richer than a large majority of the people in this world because I live in the United States. That said, I'm nowhere near "first world rich." I live a blessed life, but I often live month to month where the channel is concerned. Sometimes I wonder if I can swing enough extra money to get enough footage to post. I have to plan and carefully budget every flight you see on this channel. I do everything you see on this channel on my own time, at my own expense and I spend a lot to make it happen. If money was no object, and I was "rich" you'd see a lot more on this channel. Thanks for watching my friend!
