Antonov Surprise Worlds Quickest A320 Takeoff TPA

Spotting Tampa International Airport

[@hermanprice5375]

That 19L landing view in the front of the video is the money shot!!! And that Antonov iced the cake!

[@njmaugbill]

I've seen the Antonov 2 times, February 2008 - at Bangor Maine. We were diverted from EWR to Bangor due to weather. The 2nd time was in HNL in March 2017. Very special!

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

Very cool!

[@twistandsproutmicrogreens]

New Sub. Love your vids and ATC added in. Your commentary....top notch!!!

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

Hi Rhonda. Welcome to the channel 👍

[@kimsalter9333]

That Antonov could not kick enough ASS! What a great plane! Great video as always! And that Falcon...drooling, also a great plane!

[@Fretless1]

RIP Antonov God bless the people of Ukraine

[@dianericciardistewart2224]

Captain Steven, amazing as usual!! Seeing the Antonov was a thrill!! I have flown in/out of Midway on Southwest -- yeppers, small indeed!! Thanks for the call signs and flight info -- plus the ATC in the background. Just love it! 💕✈💕✈💕✈

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

Appreciate the kind feedback. Thanks for making time to watch 👍

@@CaptainStevenMarkovich yes captain i agree on that one 757 delta long takeoff roll just to ATL wow

[@ADPeguero]

Nice man! That AN124 is huge.

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

Amazing aircraft it was fun seeing it up close. Thanks for watching 👍

[@nevrock1]

Antonov came in from Las Vegas and departed for the UK within 24 hours.

[@PLANEMANIA747]

Nice capturing 😍..! Is this Antonov that went to Glasgow?

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

Yep👍👍

[@bronto150]

Like your videos at Tampa.. FYI the "new paint job" you saw on the United 737 is Only on the MAX series 737s. It has that wave center stripe or swoop that we called it. Makes it easy to I.D. the MAX in United service. United put that wave/swoop line on its 787s also. I retired last year from United at LAX so fun to see planes flying from big airports. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

Thank you 👍 thanks for the intel on the paint

[@Fmmacedo1]

Hey Captain ....a message from Brazil ...very good angles and mainly comments and information...keep on doing this ...! Congrats!!!

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

Thanks for watching hello BraZil

[@annbell6453]

Just subscribed because I love the way you talk when you describe planes taking off and landing. Now, a question for you if you could answer. About 2 years ago, Jet Blue really started adding to their livery on the tail, but then, they came out with one which was called the Jet Blue Blueprint covering the whole plane. Used to see it every so often at Syracuse site, but haven't seen it anywhere since then. Do you know what happened to it, maybe it was sent to another area...? It was the coolest looking plane I've ever seen and probably took forever to paint it.

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

That’s a great livery I see it every month or two. Saw it in Boston last month. Thanks for watching great questions

[@annbell6453]

@@CaptainStevenMarkovich Thank you for answering :) I don't live in Syr anymore but just have to watch at the airport, especially during the winter months, and that's where I became interested in the Jet Blue liveries. Blueprint was the greatest to watch and I do miss seeing it. Wonder if there is a site for Logan to planewatch...!

[@philhand5830]

Good shot of the TRs on that Fed Ex Airbus jet landing!!!

[@DOMINICAAVIATION]

Wonderful footage!!!

You Crack me up Captain.😂

Reminds me of old Chinese proverb , man who fly upside down have crack up. 😬👍

[@stevensaviationspotting]

So epic, loved the Antonov An-124!

[@traincndr1]

What's the cargo plane flight number

[@stevensaviationspotting]

@@traincndr1 I don’t remember actually I never tracked it

[@twistandsproutmicrogreens]

I am forever amazed at how something so heavy is kept in the air like this.

[@melaniekelly9907]

From watching other spotter videos I think all the Jet BOO liveries are up in the Northeast right now. I think that water bottle is really Vodka, LOL !

[@briantampa1164]

Beautiful sound from the Falcon

[@ernierundall1336]

I love the videos

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

Glad you enjoy

[@youngspotter3059]

Just beautiful i hope you get the antonov!

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

It came and went in the evening. There’s several good videos on Facebook The Plane Spot

[@FFlyDDrum1]

Just recently started watching your channel. I am enjoying the narration but would like to see more of the close up shots vs the distance shots. Just a request :).

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

Thanks for the feedback much appreciated thanks for watching 👍

[@ASBARRETTAVIATION]

Great catches as always.

[@davefrommelbourne1237]

That’s definitely a BIG visitor to TPA

[@bananasinpyamas9005]

All flying birds in da house now put your hands up in dee aer

[@missyroades4533]

I flew in and out of midway in 2019. It was .....exciting...

[@briantampa1164]

I flew out of Midway on a Kiwi Airlines 727 in the mid 90s.

[@TangoSierra888]

I absolutely hate flying in there, especially in the winter. Ice/snow + short runways = scary combo. Cross my fingers every time - “Are we going to be able to stop, or are we gonna go skidding thru the fence?” 😱

[@SAMIKE32795]

Great to see the Antonov back in Tampa, been quite some time since the last visit!

[@philhand5830]

@@jaybee7890 yup!

[@josephkilfeather4047]

That Antonov was here in DFW the other day, before your visit in TPA

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

I heard it depart over my house the other night. Sounded awesome

[@timgarvey8638]

Hey Captain Steve what is the structure next to the United Maintenance Building the thing with the 2 gray tall walls?

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

Hi Tim. Very observant and a good question. It’s the Hush House. It’s where aircraft are taken when testing engines. The walls help absorb the sound.

[@timgarvey8638]

@@CaptainStevenMarkovich Cool thanks. That's what i thought it was but it doesn't hurt to ask.

[@nigelhutchins6424]

Love see that Antonia

[@jeffreynovak9379]

It takes me 15 min to fig out and 2 put on my Seatbelts.😜

[@CPS747-8]

How did you get so up close to the An-124? Did you have to get some sort of security clearance to be there? Where else are some good spots for spotting? Also, I actually went to Tampa yesterday and got a bunch of photos (even of the United 757 taking off).

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

Top secret locations. Cool that United 757 was awesome. Seriously I have around 15 spots for the most part. Google earth really good to dig out new spots

[@bradleycoolchurchsongthati2140]

Oh nice

@ 13:04 it was US Airways that In January 2012, US Airways Group, the parent company of US Airways, expressed interest in taking over AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines. In March, AMR's CEO Tom Horton said that the company was open to a merger. US Airways told some American Airlines creditors that merging the two carriers could yield more than $1.5 billion a year in added revenue and cost savings. On April 20, American Airlines' three unions said they supported a proposed merger between the two airlines. With AMR under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, American Airlines had been looking to merge with another airline. Earlier in July, a bankruptcy court filing stated that US Airways was an American Airlines creditor and "prospective merger partner"; on August 31, US Airways CEO Doug Parker announced that American Airlines and US Airways had signed a nondisclosure agreement, in which they would discuss the possibility of a merger
