Full Flight - United Airlines - Boeing 777-224/ER - SFO-ORD - N27015 - UA1479 - IFS Ep. 528

[@tradewins]

From takeoff to about 2 hrs 45 mins the developing beauty of this video is IMO among the best you've ever recorded. The subtle gradations of blue shading slowly becoming more apparent far surpasses anything Picasso ever did in his blue period. And then the slow journey into light...just spectacularly grand and dazzling. Great work!

[@zombiefulci3301]

I love the meticulous care to capture the entire trip with incidental details, it's like actually being there. The momentous build to the actual flight is always thrilling, I love seeing every aspect just like you present here. Thank you and keep up the great work!

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend. That means a lot to me. It means my videos are exactly what I'm hoping they are to everyone who watches them.

[@ChrisZoomER]

I love the sleek look of the 777's wing, it is indeed the most streamlined wing design for transonic speeds of any airliner!

[@tonyhernandez3227]

Flying very early in the morning before the sun go up is my favorite time of departure. I have done it’s many times and it’s beautiful as well as when the sun go down too LoL

[@sla31]

I agree. I love flying early in the day. I don't love filming early in the day though haha. Filming in the dark is hard enough, and trying to capture the transition from night to day is really difficult hahaha. Thanks for watching man!

[@a320aviation32]

Skylite, Thank you so much for doing this video, it means a lot to me because a fly this route alot and it just feels good to have you fly it i don’t know why.

That looked like a silky smooth landing

[@Tortured_poet355]

It always feels so good to be flying in the morning!

[@williamhu5728]

Great job. Boeing 777 is just my favorite kind of airplane. The seats are so spacious and the airplane looks very new.

[@sla31]

For being over 20 years old, it's definitely looking pretty good. Thanks for watching my friend!

Thanks my friend! I hope you have a great trip!

Hey man, how was your trip?

[@gerardmoran9560]

Great video! Smooth approach and landing. Those inboard flaps have some serious deflection.

[@orlandorivera8929]

Very nice no music good ending engine winding down no getting up and go realistic experience thanks

[@bostonbruinsgirl37]

Love watching your videos the sound of the engines relax me and sometimes put me to sleep it’s white noise for me

[@eugenewhite7090]

Very amazing video Skylight Production watched every minute of this video straight reminds me of my LAX to ORD flight

[@ThatCodeBlue]

Great work, my friend, as always!!

[@luigiperrone8169]

Great route. Usually lines up to land right over my house. United used to have a flight from SFO to ORD to EZE (Buenos Aires). Wish they would bring it back. It was an all evening/night flight on a 767.

[@cherylreichardt]

I just subscribed! You have taken me on some excellent flights. This one is extra nice flying into my city! Great work!

[@sla31]

Thanks for subscribing my friend. I'd normally reply quicker, but I've been flying all week, getting footage, and I often don't have time to reply when I'm traveling. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel, and welcome!

[@gregorykharasch8760]

Love it amazing approach into ORD!

[@VerygoofyCole]

Beautiful takeoff and landing. There was like nobody on that flight!

[@sla31]

It was a surprisingly light load. I even heard the flight attendant that was at the exit row right in front of me mention that it was odd we were so light. Most of my flights have beeb packed recently, and she made it sound like this particular flight had been full every other day that week.

[@VerygoofyCole]

Does United still allow you to listen to the cockpit? If so have you thought of adding it to the videos?

Thanks my friend!

[@JmanAviation]

I’ve never noticed mainly just because I’ve never flown to ORD but the control tower looks SO similar to Portland’s!

[@topgeardel]

I think I have flown a B-777 one time....from Dallas to Chicago. I love to have window seats to view the flight. Unfortunately, I was over the center of the wing. Couldn't see much at all with that huge wing...lol.

[@mybingeplaylist9940]

i love your content ✈️

I’m glad to hear that my friend.

[@midwayization]

The FA making the preflight announcement must've had a wild night partying seemed still half asleep

[@ArmaniStudio]

Excellent

[@vuho2075]

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are number 15 for departure. There are only 14 planes ahead of us, so please sit back, relax, and keep your seat belts fastened. We shall be departing shortly." Oh, I really like the green lights. They're pretty.

[@JoeBeetsJr]

Love sitting behind the wing! What runway did you take off from?

[@aj742]

Very cool video as always; that thumbnail was quite inviting indeed, and not just because it was of a 772ER's wing ;). Those older GE 90-92Bs sure have a loud exhaust on idle power though, wasn't headphone friendly lol. On another note, that FA sure was excited to be there wasn't she :P.

[@sla31]

Sometimes I wonder if flight attendants like this, do this on purpose because they think it is calming and relaxing? Or they’re really just over their job haha 😂.

[@aj742]

@@sla31 Heh, yeah could be either one of those. Although if it's the latter can't really blame her considering the industry conditions right now.

[@CFNF2024]

Hey skylite! Amazing video as always😁 do you have anymore International trips planned???

[@sla31]

I do have a couple of international trips planned already this year. The first of which is coming up in April, another in May.

[@ShawnHermanstein]

Already love the video because of the 777 🙌🏾 Why don't you do flights to/from JFK?

[@sla31]

I typically avoid the whole northeast during the winter months. Simply to avoid the headaches of the inevitable winter storms, but I was actually in and out of JFK several times last week. So I actually have a lot of JFK footage coming up soon.

[@FOBob-sr1fd]

Love the second inflight service. LOL

[@sla31]

Haha. Just water. No other choices haha.

[@sla31]

Hey Bob. I get emails when new comments are left, even if the comment is then removed. Perhaps you saw a similar response, and that's why you removed it, but I thought I'd explain anyway. Your comment was about upgrades. Believe me, I would clear the upgrade list on pretty much every flight with the status I have on all Star Alliance & Oneworld carriers, as well as independent airlines like Hawaiian & JetBlue, but... However, I always opt out of all upgrades. Here's why... My channel isn't about me always getting a great seat, or even really about doing a "trip report." It's about the aviation, the beauty of aviation & nature together, and about sharing my love of commercial aviation & travel with everyone else. Because of this, meticulous amounts of planning go into every single flight I take, regardless of how insignificant a flight it may be. If I'm flying from Tulsa to Houston on United, the same planning goes into it as if I were flying ANA from Honolulu to Tokyo. I plan every detail of the flight including noting sunrise/sunset times, how much of the flight will be in the daylight vs. night, where the position of the sun will be in the sky, what the historic flight path is, all the way down to the exact seat I want so I can film the best possible video. I have an entire word documents built in advance for every single flight I take, just to make sure I have the absolute best information and best chance of filming a stunning flight. All to help ensure I am providing the absolute best possible flight experience for every single flight I take. Now... If I could afford to fly first all the time, I would haha. And I would put the same amount of planning into it. But, I can't afford to fly first. And the problem with upgrades is that I am never guaranteed any specific seat, and frankly, particularly on wide bodies, I may end up without a window altogether. Would it be a nicer flight for me? Absolutely, and as a passenger it pains me to continually opt out of every upgrade. But, as the aviation loving person behind this channel, I will not sacrifice the better experience for you and all the other viewers & subscribers, just because I want to be more comfortable. So, not upgrading 95% of the time, is a choice I make to make sure I'm providing better videos for everyone else. Sometimes I question that dedication when I'm staring at a 10 hour flight I could've gotten an upgrade on haha, but I'm never disappointed with the results.

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

Great fly! Do you plan to upgrade your computer for editing video or iPhone for recording?

[@sla31]

Eventually yes. I just upgraded my camera from the iPhone 12 Pro to the 13 Pro. At the moment, I don't plan any computer upgrades. My two computers will do fine for awhile at this point.

[@ANCspottor907]

Hmm, what do you use to book your flights? (Anyways loving the full flight videos skylite)

[@sla31]

I book my flights directly though each airline. I never advocate using any third party website to book any travel. I use Google Flights to search for flights, but then book them on each airlines individual website. In general, third party sites aren't going to be cheaper anyways, and if they are for some reason, you're getting a ticket with A LOT of restrictions.

[@SpottinPlanesForLife]

Boeing 777x looks like this but with the 787 features

[@KipaIhalainen]

I love it

[@midwayization]

Niite3 departure takes you over the bay for noise abatement in between SFO an OAK then a right turn

[@pete84101]

would have been cool to have added the conversation between the plane and ATC

[@sla31]

I agree it would. Here's why I don't. I run everything on this channel by myself. Planning the flights, taking the flights, filming, editing, uploading, replying to comments, etc. I'm a one man show. And I do it all in addition to having a full time job and having a family. I simply don't have time to do that. It takes a lot of time to find all of the audio clips, line them up with the correct part of the video, and then get it all finished. I just don't have time to do it. Maybe someday that'll change, or it'll get easier to track down the audio clips, but right now it's a very time consuming process.

[@Sumiin_benji_glooscap]

the question is why are all the boeing 777 flaps so long

[@nascarnathan831]

Wow cool video do travel

[@aakashkarajgikar9384]

34:45 How come the flaps and slats retracting were so quite and it is heard on an A380? I see a lot of times people say that the "big" takeoffs and everything are quieter. I'm like "what is this"?

[@paullindquist8961]

Great video. But the Airline should have explained why so much hydraulic noise during the descent. One would wonder if the landing gear wouldn't lower.

[@aj742]

That's pretty normal; in fact I would be more concerned if I didn't hear the hydraulic noise. And you hear so much of that because it's also the slats and flaps that are being deployed, not just the gear.

[@PD-dn2sq]

Saw my house and work on approach

[@georgesenda1952]

For those of us who haven't flown in years could you tell us just where you went ? I know SFO but have no idea where ORD is except it snows there.

[@sla31]

ORD is Chicago O'Hare. I list the full city and state with the code in the description, in case someone doesn't know the code. I use the code in the title as they are limited to 100 characters, and since the FAA already has widely accepted codes of the airports, they're the easiest info to abbreviate. Saving me a lot of space for other info in the titles. So, ORD is Chicago. If you ever need to know another, it's always listed in the description. Thanks for watching!

[@nathanielambriz2051]

Wow cool

[@hnishimura2742]

Beautiful shot! I think the correct flight number UA1927, no?

Nope. This was flight 1479. Remember, airlines often re-use/recycle flight numbers. At the time this was fight 1479.

Just something I've been curious about. Do you have a job that requires you to fly all the time? Or is this something that you just like to do for fun? You must have ton of mileage points 😂Great channel BTW, keep them coming.

[@sla31]

I do not. Everything you see presented here is done on my own time, on my own dime. And to be honest, I don't have many frequent flyer miles haha. As soon as I get enough for a free flight, I trade them in to help with the costs of running this channel. Flying all of these flights is expensive haha.
