Another great video!

[@FlyersAviation]

Very unfortunate that AA will be retiring these in less than two weeks. Great that you were able to fly on one of their last MD-80s.👍

[@pilerks1]

Lol this happened back in may

[@FlyersAviation]

@@pilerks1 Oh LOL

[@sla31]

It is sad. But, we'll all get to fly on the final flight come September 4th. I am going to attempt to post that flight the same day!

[@kenpalmer1965]

That descent through the clouds was a bit spooky! LOL! Great video!

[@sla31]

Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@sfsskycracker1448]

I can’t Believe it!!! How come you be such good at choosing seats 💺??? I love your work!!!!!!!!!

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend! I'm glad you enjoy the videos. I spend a lot of time when booking flights deciding which seat to pick. I factor in a lot of things to help ensure I have the best possible views. Some of the things I consider ahead of time are where the sun will be in the sky during the flight, which direction the winds typically blow during that time of year, what the aircrafts most likely route will be, and so on. Sometimes all your efforts are for nothing because aviation can be unpredictable, but more times than not it works out, and you get the awesome views like in this video! Thanks for watching my friend!

10:20 Nice Antonov A-124 with cargo nose up!!!

[@sla31]

Nice catch my friend! It was quite the surprise!

[@Thomas-cx6cb]

When the airplane is diving into clouds I always get "nervous" and fear that we might collide with another plane. I know it is irrational but ..... ;-)

[@SHOzFST]

Cool shot of the Antonov in the background and being loaded with oilfield equipment.

[@sla31]

I was just at Tulsa again today, and guess who was there? The Antonov! It's always fun to see an An-124. Thanks for watching!

MD❤️80

[@BabbaIsKool]

Awesome

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@t.khattabi7727]

Unfortunately, all AA MD-80's are set to retire in less than two weeks.

[@sla31]

It is unfortunate. The good news is that I have a seat booked on the final flight, so everyone will get to ride along here on the channel.

[@t.khattabi7727]

@@sla31 Great! Looking forward to it

[@VoraciousAvgeek]

Dang... I’m pretty sure a few of their MD-80s are only 20 years old! That’s a very young bird to kill.

[@pilerks1]

@@sla31 what seat do you have. Pls use your best mic camera

[@sfsskycracker1448]

Oh yeah!

[@JustinLHopkins]

AA still flies these into Wichita too. Not sure what they’ll be replaced with. A319 maybe.

[@sla31]

The A319 would be my guess. That or the 738. Although, I've noticed AA likes to send the smaller birds to ICT.

[@JustinLHopkins]

Skylite Productions They used ICT for one of the A319 proving routes. We have some 4-5 daily MD80 flights with a mix of American Eagle to DFW daily. Where will 5 MD80’s worth of capacity go? I hope we get the 737 or airbus.

[@sla31]

Justin Hopkins Personally, I would prefer the A319. I tend to like Airbus aircraft over the 737 anyways, and I don’t think Wichita has enough demand to need an A321.

[@JustinLHopkins]

Skylite Productions If we only had 2 flights, I can see AA crowding us into an A321, but frequency wins here. Dallas is the top destination for Wichita. I see AA using the A319/20 mostly with a sprinkle of 737’s on rare occasionsr. Delta flies all mainline from Atlanta several times a day and United uses a 739 on Wichita routes in conjunction with an A320 and a few regionals. It’s possible American will just move us to mainline A319’s period. We’ll have to wait an see. I just hope we’re not downgraded to all regional.

[@JustinLHopkins]

Skylite Productions Well, you’re in luck. Wichita has been transitioned over and we’re getting 3-4 A319 flights per day, along with a few American Eagle. I couldn’t be happier.

[@DowntownCanon]

Any plans for another airline to acquire these when they are shelved in a few days?

[@sla31]

Not that I know of. Sadly, I think a lot of these birds are at the end of the road. Thanks for watching!

[@blakman7]

How in the hell do you not have more subscribers? The quality of your videos is far more superior to some of the aviation channels that have more than 1M subscribers.

[@sla31]

That's a question I do not know the answer to my friend. I do the best I can to put out the best quality content possible. I don't clickbait, reply to every comment on the channel, put out 10 videos per week. Who knows, maybe the channel will "takeoff" soon. Pun intended. Thanks for watching my friend! I'm glad you enjoy the quality of my videos.

[@elijahdiaz2897]

So the security Airport wants to make sure that you can’t bring any weapons on plane rides?

[@sla31]

Basically, yes. Thanks for watching!
