Inside San Francisco's MASSIVE Airport Operations!

[@AdelaidePacNorthWest]

I would LOVE this job!

[@512spotter]

Thanks!

[@FTTravelstyle]

OMG it would be a dream to spend a day with air ops and taking photos and videos of the planes. OMG.

[@carygutnick]

No joke but I actually interned with the SFO airside operations department last summer and it was an absolute incredible experience! I learned so much about that department during my time interning there. While interning there, everyone in that department was very welcoming and helpful to me, making sure I got a full understanding of airside operations.

[@KuostA]

How did you get that internship position? Where did u apply? Was it paid? What role did they have u do? I’d love to do that too!

[@Crazy--Clown]

Pull the other one it plays jingle bells

[@Itsrang]

That's awesome

[@carygutnick]

@@KuostAsorry just seeing this comment now. I applied through the sfo job careers. Every time a job pops up I receive them. That’s where I saw the summer internship job opportunity.

[@carygutnick]

@@KuostAit was a paid job and I basically was learning everything about airside operations as well as having two big projects. It was overall a learning experience for me but definitely opened up a new career path for me.

[@dianeschroeder3980]

Wow! Amazing video Kevin. That was super interesting and informative of what OPS really does on a daily basis. Keep up the great work!❤️✈️

[@Marcus_Pilot]

Such a cool job! Thank you, Kevin!

[@Sub.Zero.Aviation]

It’s amazing how similar SFO Ops is to my job at PHX Ops

[@spookysindy]

Thanks

[@AIRLINEVIDEOS]

Thanks for your support!

[@stephenmcdaid7706]

Enjoyable, informative and entertaining. Great watch.

[@eugeniustheodidactus8890]

Who ever does your editing *IS A BEAST!* So enjoyable to watch the OPS content. _and I watched it from the cockpit for many years..._

[@SKYWATCHAVIATION]

Loved the close up of ita Lufthansa and emirates and the departure of singapore

[@CrazaySteff]

Amazing Video, very well Done! Thank You Kevin (and Team)! I LOVE AVL! 👏

[@mrocbachelor]

Thanks again for another great BTS video!

[@Chris_de_S]

Beautiful closeup shots Kevin

[@fepatton]

What an experience - the dream of every planespotter! So cool you were able to share this with us. I'm kind of surprised they didn't have you wear a temporary ID or something, but great to see everyone taking security so seriously. Big thanks to James too for being such a great host!

[@512spotter]

What an amazing video Kevin and team, shoutout to James and SFO airside ops for being awesome! What a unique and interesting perspective

[@fosterapp]

I really enjoyed this, well done Kevin!

[@MattyCrayon]

This is an awesome video Kevin! Loved it ❤

[@davegrundgeiger9063]

I love that they do a walkaround of their trucks, just like a pilot.

[@robh8814]

Bus drivers do the same. If any damage is found then you can say it wasn't you & you report it.

[@davegrundgeiger9063]

I suppose it's probably common for professional drivers. I had never thought about it. It makes good sense.

[@christerry1773]

Would love to drive down of on the big runways. I love it when Vehicles drive around the terminals and view all the widebodies so close. Not sure what that’s referred to ramp operation maybe

[@kiwiwhispers]

Fantastic job, Kevin and Charlie! Looking forward to the broadcast with you and Rudy tomorrow!

[@billyjoe3309]

This guy is super professional. Amazing!

[@Barbara-qm1usa]

Really enjoyed the air side opps. So much interesting information. Thanks Kevin for your hard work, you are the best

[@margaretprenger7657]

WOW‼️‼️ Thank you🎉🎉🎉

[@petergroves9343]

[@tyronedowns6140]

That was a awesome video, Kevin! I wanted to express my gratitude for your remarkable work! Keep them coming, Kevin! 👌🏾🙂

[@craighepburn9332]

thank you Kevin that was so enjoyable to see what goes on around the Airport runways. Now I know what the Utes are doing when they are driving around. You must see if you can get into the control tower for us. cheers from NZ.

[@wingflex5367]

Love the walkaround on a truck, hope he checked the pitot tube.

[@amfwelsh]

This was so so cool and interesting. Thanks Kevin

[@CosmicAnubis]

Excellent overview of Airport Operations (salute from DCA Ops)!!

[@toobydude41]

Well I can safely say that my love , fascination, admiration..all the above.. for aviation.. has soared to even new heights after watching this. Just incredible. I bet that water wasn't so calm in those storms last week!

[@skittles5347]

Fantastic content! Fantastic editing and videography! Thanks Airline Videos!

[@AIRLINEVIDEOS]

Thank you Skittles!

[@jumpingjeffflash9946]

I binge watched all the Doug Yakel videos of a few years ago, I wish those videos were an hour each, he's great. I emailed him to tell him so, he emailed me back! It's never gonna change but the use of "tarmac" for an airport is my pet peeve; you're on a runway, taxiway or apron/ramp.

[@j.c.3587]

WOW WOW WOW, what a beautiful job and what a great video. Very nice to be so close near all the planes and on the tarmac. One of the nicest airport around the world.

[@lindakavinsky3502]

It was awesome to watch this one. Great job by all. 😊

[@spookysindy]

Great watch. Very interesting to see operations close up. Thanks Kevin!👏✈️💙

[@kevin19358]

Nice. Wow you can get close to the plane, park at the gate, taxing, departing and arriving, very cool.

[@C1rcle1]

A very informative and artfully crafted video. Like how the story is about the people , what the do, as well as seeing the planes clsoe up.

[@mrkc10]

Grand slam video! Probably AVL’s best BTS Production yet. Kevin that was the opportunity of a lifetime to see all the action up close and personal. Once again I think this is your best video to date.

[@TheHieuCreative]

This BTS is outstanding! Thank you Kevin for giving such an amazing view of airside ops at SFO.

[@Delta77797]

Excellent video TY so much Kevin 😁😁

[@oliverb2653]

GOOSEBUMPS watching the 28L departures and arrivals. What an amazing privilege to be out there. Great Job!

[@Ilike2run4fun]

Love this one!! Air Side Ops is super cool!! Thank you!!

[@bugsbunny1895]

Absolutely awesome the worse thing about the video is that it ended I wanted to see more awesome job Kevin thanks for sharing

[@marcusdamberger]

The hours you spent out in the field to capture all these amazing scenes, not to mention the hours you spent on writing end editing this all together was so worth the wait! I felt like I was there right with you. Your best BTS yet!

[@gavinbicknell5539]

Absolutely fantastic video Kevin thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication you put in to your videos and lives to bring us all such fantastic entertainment you are by far the best airline videographer on KZbin

[@757chip3]

Thanks, Kevin!

[@AIRLINEVIDEOS]

Thanks for the support Chip!

[@michaelcosta3098]

Great Video, years ago I was lucky enough to have friends at PA ops at Newark who were able to take me on ramp airside as well.

[@alphonsomorris1809]

I said it before and I'll say it again fantastic job thanks Kevin and the Avl team

[@hakinen4000]

Absolutely amazing. Thanks Kevin for bringing us this rare opportunity to witness a day in the life of an ASO. As always this was executed very professionally.

[@keith-t5u]

Excellent job! Love the video.

[@757chip3]

Thanks, Kevin. With the hundreds of flights I had in and out of SFO over a 20+ year period, so great to witness the airside activity!

[@tworlda6483]

Thanks for this excellent portrayal of what a Airport Ops Officer does for the airport and the passengers to assure a safe trip.

[@SKYWATCHAVIATION]

Awesome video this is so exciting to see behind the scenes of SFO

[@DM-yz6sn]

I dispatched at MHT with a good friend who worked ops at SFO - she always talks about how it was her best experience ever! Great video!

[@shzrnn]

You've really outdone yourself on this one, Kevin. Love seeing my favorite airport at a totally new angle, and James is so engaging!

[@rickytes]

19:24 - I recently got badged at SFO and the whole time I was trying to see if Kevin had a temp badge (T Badge) and this part shows up, lol. Great video!

[@KuostA]

U got a badge for what?

[@rickytes]

@@KuostA SIDA badge. Allows me to go around the airport to work.

[@ruaanaudi7496]

Amazing behind the scenes, maybe your best one yet! And your host is the man!

[@TheHieuCreative]

Gotta love the closeup of the ITA Blue!

[@marksicuso737]

[@Pilotwisco]

Awesome video! James was a perfect person to shadow!

[@treeoneseven]

Great work, Kevin. That was highly enjoyable. James is cool and he has a fun and important job. Bravo!

[@SippyCupAdventures]

This was so fascinating. We stayed at a hotel close to SFO a few months back, and my wife and I asked, "What are all those vehicles on the tarmac for?" We tried looking it up and couldn't find anything definitive, so, thanks for this video!

[@soonerborn6694]

Thank you for another top shelf quality production - safety has no finish line!

[@AVIATIONTAVERN]

Finally had a minute to rewatch this and fully ingest this awesome day at SFO! Great work, Kevin!! ~ Danny B

[@dale2540]

Wow, that's some awesome coverage at SFO, Kevin! Very good! Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to learn more about how airports work :) Great shots & coverage. Planes, the runways, the people and thank you to your great assistant for this tour! :)

[@paulbennett8516]

Superb video Kevin best BTS video so far keep up the great work

[@beach_life828]

Thank you, Kevin, for another amazing BTS!!! From the opening shot of BA, it was beautifully shot and edited - so many things we would never see otherwise. I'd love to spend a day sitting on the SFO beach 😁 Thank you so very much!

[@rosef1384]

That was great. Really is amazing to see how they keep things going smooth.

[@cyberfiche]

What a wonderfully produced video! I'm always impressed by your professional skills, Kevin!
