Alaska's BUSIEST Airport: The BEST of Anchorage Plane Spotting (ANC/PANC)

Welcome to Anchorage, Alaska; a cargo super hub! Anchorage is 3rd busiest cargo airport in the world; 2nd in North America.
This strategically placed airport provides an excellent technical stop for mainly cargo aircraft that connect North America with Asia. Anchorage is also a hub for FedEx, UPS, Atlas Air along with others.
This winter spotting was quite interesting with a very low cloud layer, deicing and beautiful sunlight; this trip had it all!

The DC-6 was the absolute highlight, great video!

[@pedroramirohorn1506]

Marvelous DC-6

[@heklaaurora757]

Awesome video! I loved that up close MD-11 at 34:30 taxiing past you!

[@MC-xt6xf]

I spent a lot of time on the hill alongside runway 33 across from the cargo terminals plane spotting in ‘08 and ‘09. Lots of good pics and memories.

[@theplanechannelN863GT]

Wow I have the model of the final 747 ever built-N863GT she is the queen!I gotta visit Anchorage someday to see 747s before it’s too late.

[@mylosairplanefan]

Epic video dude! Loved the DC-6A take-off, what a beauty. Well done!!

[@zanjani13]

Love the sound of that DC6 😍

[@joeyjamison5772]

I was stationed in Alaska when I was in the US Air Force and flew into both Anchorage Airport and Elmendorf AFB. Both busy places.

[@edutaimentcartoys]

beautiful snowy airport and nice plane spotting

[@joaocanadaa]

747 everywhere!!! love it

[@ERSpotter]

Espetacular!!❤

[@rossbremner5125]

Well this was about as close to being the perfect spotting video as you'll get. What a place. How cold was it 😂

[@Trump145]

Beautiful excellent footage❤

[@rozymuhammad]

Wonderfull View and Moment

[@JelmersAviation]

What a fantastic video man! Epic catches! Liked!

[@barnboard47]

This is terrific - thank you!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

Well done, my friend 😎👍 one of my very favorite airports and you captured it beautifully.

[@Leonhadrt]

Nice to see the Maddog

[@freightdawg6762]

Awesome video Mark 👍

[@helicopter7507]

JUST AWESOME WORK . Enjoying this amazing footage here in Connecticut with a beer in my hand and 16 degrees outside... and subscribed too as of now. Thank you

[@kojiyuki]

Very nice capture😀 Greetings from Japan 😀

[@JerryRay-nf6gm]

WOW I Love this one and it looks like the busiest Airport for Cargo that I have ever see?

[@schabandreas]

Very impressive video

[@andyoshea7309]

Went to ANC in Sept 23 already want to go back - maybe not in winter. Thanks for sharing Mark

[@allenshaw5146]

Excellent video Mark, wont go short on 747s here. The polar 777 was like a rocket, hope you had a heated jacket on you sounded ever so cold mate.

[@davecarr7804]

As a pilot it would have to be Everts I`d want to fly for! They have the cool craft! Great footage.

[@mrkc10]

Great video. N863GT 👍🏻

[@_helmi]

4:44 goosebumps when seeing two queens in one shot. Personally, I love UPS and FedEx liveries on cargo planes (except on MD-11s). I wish UPS still kept the "Synchronizing the world of commerce" text on their livery to rival with FedEx's "The World On Time".

[@laurawatson2858]

Great Video. Was last in ANC was 2005

[@dfwplanespotters_yt]

nice video bud.

[@stevecurd3944]

abs fantastic footage,watching from London England & loving it,def 747 heaven

[@davidharris2519]

any flights that go to or from Europe anymore also how much de-ice fluid do they go thru in a season plus cant forget what a great video

[@BHX-Spotter1]

14:01 DC-6 Pilot wave!!

[@Odontomango]

I know the pilot(Captain) who fly the A330F MAS Air Cargo. (He has a channel) Since MAS only operate two A330s. and he just flew in and out of of Anchorage to Zhengzhou very recently. So that was probably him. That's cool.

[@Supreme_MJ]

1:39 this was the last 747 ever produced

[@PanAmguy-np7et]

What was the temperature like out there when you were filming there? I bet you almost freezed to death. But its for the content though.

[@amycuaresma]

November 18 & 19 2023 temps where high of approx 16 f and low of 3°f. Currently in Anchorage we have had a multiple day stretch of high temperature remaining below zero, so these temps sound like a heater wave right now

[@gooner72]

There's one thing missing from this video............ can anyone guess what it is???🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Edit: its here once but that's Not ENOUGH!!!!!!

[@Maurin67]

The door from a 737max?

[@un4given265]

Just stop

[@patrickr4727]

The first plane a 747-8Fi is the last production model of the 747-8 ever it has a special emblem below the pilots window showing "Joe Sutter" and "The Incredibles" for the engineers who produced the Boeing 747 jet series a I craft.

[@sanddabz5635]

Isn't Aloha air cargo a long way away from home?

[@mikeystreets9333]

You need to advertise the clothing brands that your wearing to film this i am sure you could get some sponsorship👍

[@robytar]

I assume one reason Anchorage is so busy it is mainly just a refueling stop ?

[@sanddabz5635]

Yep

[@rorygielarowski8972]

You guys are from where! Holy Balls! If I had known you were out in that cold weather! I would have brought you down my motorhome! Great shots! Those LA pussies run from the cold! Tons of respect, great coverage! We are just a gas station!!! keep them coming!

[@Allie_Kotiki]

I have a question, Why does Anchorage have most Cargo jets flying aroun 🤔

[@TB-um1xz]

Because it is a good halfway point between Asia and the lower 48. If you flew direct from Asia to the lower 48, you'll need more fuel and sacrifice cargo.

[@Allie_Kotiki]

@TB-um1xz oh thanks, btw like my comment please!

[@SouthernMoonIsGood]

The audio quality is too good.

[@mitchul]

Alaskan would have to be one of the very few operators still ordering new planes with wig-wags.

[@hehepro4832]

The hell are those

[@mitchul]

@@hehepro4832 10:29, 11:49, 25:55, 28:53, 45:00 The alternating runway & landing lights. They're called wigwags.

[@gooner72]

​@@mitchul👏👏👌

[@helituscany6455]

No Airbus 😂

[@mattwurst1339]

A takeoff only airport. No planes ever land here...
