56:28 What a clear shot of the Gateway Arch, followed by Downtown St. Louis! 😄

[@sla31]

Sometimes everything just works out and you get great lighting, and great views. Thanks for watching!

[@AvStevieStevenJamesDrums]

Now that was a smooth landing

[@sla31]

A lot of butter on this one, as they say haha. Thanks for watching man!

[@ksbear2]

56:35 - nice views of Parks Airport and the UP Valley Junction Yard in East St Louis. Also shows the amount of river traffic on the Mississippi.

[@sla31]

Definitely. People forget sometimes how important the Mississippi is and how it's used to move/transport all kinds of things.

[@BFFAvgeek15]

Loved that view of downtown St. Louis! Great flight man! 😁✈️

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend! I always appreciate it!

[@scottbridge9391]

WOWOWOWOW!!! GREAT view of Downtown St. Louis!! I've stood right at the base of The Arch. Good views of all of the semis on I-70 coming into Lambert. And wonderful views of Nashville! I've never been to Nashville, or Tennessee for that matter. It's also one of the few states that I've never flown over. I did, however, watch the TV series Nashville when it was on. Wow. What a super-fantastic super-awesome singing voice Connie Britton had!! Sheesh! Juliette Barnes was a constant trainwreck.

[@sla31]

I've never lived in St. Louis, but I have family that lives there, so I've spent a lot of time in the area over the years. The arch, downtown, Busch Stadium watching the Cardinals. My grandma, at 91, still watches every Cardinals game. To be honest, I'm not much of a baseball fan, but it never fails, the family wants to go to a game when we're all together, so I'll go just for the conversations and camaraderie. I remember standing near the arch in.... what was it... 1993? When the Mississippi River flooded and the water was up to those stairs that lead down from the bottom of the arch. I've also been to STL many times as a passenger pick up haha. Living near Joplin, St. Louis is only about 4ish hours drive. So, we usually drive up I44. Since we have our vehicles we often end up picking up other relatives at the airport. Many memories from the area!

[@tonyhernandez3227]

I have been flying out and in of STL numerous times during the TWA/ Ozark heydays and I’m heartbroken because STL is not like the heyday but welcome Southwest Airlines to STL anyway

[@sla31]

I remember those days. Specifically the TWA days. Southwest is definitely the biggest player there now. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@soleilwinner9520]

This is the best KZbin Channel about flight. I can now travel from my home 🙂

[@sla31]

I'm glad you enjoy the channel so much! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

Love your southwest content thanks for sharing 🔵🟡🔴

EPIQUE view of downtown STL!

Amazing view of downtown STL you capture amazing views 👍

[@upaviation787]

Sweet video! Loved the part on approach when you were over the river!

[@sla31]

It was a beautiful approach! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@fearfulflyer]

Love flying in and our of STL. Such an easy flight from my home airport of LIT. Looks like such a pretty day for flying!

[@sla31]

It was indeed a gorgeous day to fly, and sometimes you just get lucky with approaches. This day was one of those days. The weather was good, the lighting was good, pretty minimal haze, and a good approach that took us right past downtown. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@ShirleyABurton]

There’s something new in this video…the hilarious flight attendant. 🤣

[@nasheetaicecreamfan]

Ohhhhh how badly I want to he back onboard Southwest. My last flight with them was in Feb 2022

[@sla31]

Well, they're offering double points on flights booked right now. Maybe now's the time!

[@austindarrenor]

If it was me I'd be out on that wing with a bucket of soapy water and a scrub brush. Though I'd need suction cups on my shoes to keep from getting blown off.

[@JustPlaneFit]

That was a fun video to watch! As a fellow (new) content creator I'm fully inspired by your video and your work. Just curious what you used to keep the camera steady in the window for the entire flight? Keep up the great work and content

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend. I'm glad you're enjoy the content! My secret is years of practice haha. Contrary to what most people think, I don't use any type of mount to hold the camera for me. I hold the camera by hand, to get the best possible final product. Separating the camera from the plane eliminates vibrations from transferring from the plane to the lens of the camera. It's not easy though. When I started this channel, 7 years ago, I was lucky to be able to hold the camera steady for 5 minutes. After years of practice, and getting better and better at it, I can now go for about 2 hours at a time if needed between breaks. No matter how long it took though, I have always held the camera by hand. Practice makes perfect, as they say.

[@MultiMagnumforce]

Beautiful clear skies for flying.

[@68dart]

Awesome , Thanks Skylite 😀

[@sla31]

No problem my friend! Thanks for watching!

[@norbertk.1473]

Schön. Einfach schön.👍

[@tonyhernandez3227]

I had several hard landing before. Yes hurt my neck

[@jayeallen6668]

At about 10:40 (as the plane is taxiing to the runway) it sounds like the other engine started.

[@sla31]

You'd be correct. That is indeed the second engine starting. Thanks for watching!

[@jayeallen6668]

@@sla31 Is there a reason why the pilot didn't have all engines running before heading to the runway?

[@sla31]

@@jayeallen6668 if they know there’s going to be a long taxi or maybe a long wait to takeoff, they’ll taxi on one engine to save fuel.

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

Great fly! What's your favorite non-US airline so far?

[@sla31]

Thanks man. So far, of the ones I've flown on, I think All Nippon Airways was probably the best. Incredible attention to detail, the best meals I've ever had on a plane, and constant service from the crew, even in economy.

[@austindarrenor]

@@sla31 I drive for Checker Cab in Las Vegas and out of all nationalities my Japanese passengers are the friendliest, most polite people. If they're Asian I can tell if they're Japanese by the way they greet me when they get in the cab.

[@austindarrenor]

Leaving Nashville imagine all of the women down there that talk just like Dolly Parton.

[@shamster24]

What did the lady say to get everyone's attention?

[@sla31]

She said, did anyone lose this while holding up her phone. I'll admit, it did get more people's attention than just starting the safety briefing haha.

[@Verztex]

this wasnt a hard landing but when a plane lands hard does it hurt? Even if i travel 1-3 time in a year i never had a super hard landing just some smooth normal and hard! Also The Landing Was Amazing

[@sla31]

No, not in my experience. I've been in some hard landings, including one where the plane had to be removed from service afterwards to go through maintenance checks, and they never "hurt." Now, they can be quite surprising and they can rattle you a bit based on that, but I wouldn't say that any of the harder landings I've ever had have physically hurt me at all. The aircraft's landing gear and structure are designed to absorb those type so things, so most of the physical force, even during a rough or hard landing, is absorbed by the plane. Not your body. Anyway, thanks for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed this one!

[@Verztex]

@@sla31 Ok thx yeah i know that they have structure to do this just because my dad say it hurts but i wasnt agreeing with him

[@AirportPlaneSpotting]

I’ve had 3 hard landings so far this year 😳

[@nosananolife8669]

This flight attendant sounds like shes from New York

[@sla31]

I'm not the best with the different northeast dialects, but she definitely sounded like she was from the northeast haha. Thanks or watching my friend!
