I just wanna take time out to thank you very much for sharing this fantastic video. It brings back memories from O’Hare Airport. My father used to work for United Airlines and I was very blessed to be able to travel but also go to the airport and hang out with my father he would take me out sometimes to the airport and I was able to see the airplanes close-up. Plane spotting was wonderful back then because you had different aircrafts DC10, L1011, 72 7, 707 and many more and to see a lot of the greater airlines that no longer exist today it’s very sad to think that they all have passed into history Continental airlines , TWA air Italia,, eastern Airlines MexicanaAirlineso many others thank you for the memories

Would love to see UA revive the Saul Bass livery, in some form (like an updated version), with the tulip.

Great memories! O'Hare terminal 2 was home to Eastern, Continental, and Northwest Orient, Ozark, and North Central Airlines. Occasionally Braniff... All defunct or swallowed up long ago. Lol Great video, thank you for posting!

15:44 is Hawker Siddeley HS.748 N748LL operated by the regional airline Air Illinois, likely off to St Louis MO, and destinations south on its the intrastate Illinois network. This aircraft sadly crashed 10/10/1983 as flight UX710 from Chicago Meigs Field to Carbondale via Springfield, killing all 3 crew and 7 passengers. Shortly after departing Springfield’s Capital Airport the crew lost both electric generators, the crew continued the flight on Battery power but didn’t reduce load enough or attempt to divert to any of the multiple suitable Airfields en route. Eventually the batteries drained completely shortly before arriving in Carbondale and the aircraft lost all instruments in IMC. Subsequently the aircraft crashed near Pinckneyville IL, with the loss of all on board.

Never knew that the "Tulip" UAL livery was actually called CS - California Sunshine. Thanks for that tidbit and for the great footage.
@Starboard762 күн бұрын
Actually the official name was the Saul Bass livery, CSS caught on during so California promo of sorts.

I think the first United Jumbo (in intro) was from "Koyaanisqatsi", and the airport was LAX. Excellent series and footage collection!!

@5:04-lsten to those JT9D's ring at about 2.0 EPR. GE CF-6's have a bit different sound to them at power-bit more "burly". Rolls RB-211's-IMO-the quietest of them all. Smooth.

Was the United orange/blue stripes livery current from the time of the very first 747s? That still looked modern even into the 90s (in contrast to TWA)
@johnoconnor6356Күн бұрын
Most airlines that operated the 747 have now retired it, and those that have not are in the process of doing so. The biggest aircraft that the three remaining US airlines have is probably the 777, or triple 7. That is about as wide as the 747, but about 20 feet shorter, with no upper deck. The only other double decker aircraft ever produced was the A380 Airbus, which was not in production very long, so will obviously never be acquired by American, United, or Delta Airlines, the only 3 remaining US major airlines.
