[@paulsum69]

Thanks!

[@PeterMasella]

Very appreciated! Thank you!

[@ksbear2]

1. Nice fireworks at 14:30 -17:35 on the horizon. 2. ATL is my FAVORITE large airport in the US. Just love flying through there.

[@PeterMasella]

My next video will feature flying to Atlanta. You will not want to miss that one!

[@emreyurttas5051]

Great Trip Delta is probably the most one time of all the big three! I have not had a single delay with them unlike United and American!

[@PeterMasella]

I've had huge delays on all 3!

[@steini6771]

Another beauty! Thank you, Peter.

[@PeterMasella]

Many thanks!

[@DOMINICAAVIATION]

Another fantastic video and commentary! Always something to learn.

[@PeterMasella]

Thanks as always!

[@mjshelby12]

That 757 that landed on 09R landed hard

[@PeterMasella]

It sure did!

[@richmancuso4957]

Great job Peter. Mets fan and sports journalist I am luv the runway references of Shea, Darryl, Keith, and Doc. I mentioned this recently to Keith and Doc and they were blown away and honored to know this. Look forward to seeing this approach when opportunity is there.

[@patricklloyd2100]

I was just wondering moments ago if they know they have approaches named after them. I love flying over Citi Field when I land at LGA.

[@PeterMasella]

I was wondering that too!

[@PeterMasella]

Thanks for watching as always Rich! That’s so cool. I was wondering if they knew about it!

[@mtk52983]

If only the first point was ELSID

[@maureenkramanak7003]

How did those points end up being named after ball players?

[@maureenkramanak7003]

❤this! I lived on Long Island for 3 years and can’t wait to move back. I now know a bit more about how my flights went to and fro. I’m a baseball fan too, so of course am intrigued by the Mets names!

[@PeterMasella]

Cool! Thanks for watching!

[@dougmitchell20]

Just subscribed! I’m an aircraft technician for Delta in Atlanta as well as a Private pilot so I’m constantly flying out of ATL. Really liked that you included the ATC coms and you explained everything from the departure SID to the arrival STAR

[@PeterMasella]

Thanks so much! I try to be as technical as possible in all of my videos. Welcome aboard!

[@Transportationviews]

Great video, Peter! How often are runways at LGA closed?

[@PeterMasella]

Thanks for watching. They are closed on occasional Saturdays.

[@patricklloyd2100]

Another great video, Peter. Can't wait for my second LGA trip in November.

[@PeterMasella]

Have fun! Thanks for watching!

[@BChandl13]

That 757 on 9R really slammed it into the runway.

[@PeterMasella]

Sure did!

[@gasaholic47]

The improvements to LGA are stunning. That Terminal C looks gorgeous. I was back home in NYC a couple of weeks ago, and was driving a friend out from L.I. to Astoria. When we passed by LGA on the GCP, he was stunned. He hadn’t been by the airport in some years, and was blown away by the changes, and that was just on the outside.

[@PeterMasella]

It really is stunning!

"Pray continue your most absorbing narration !" --- This expression is used by the invincible Sherlock Holmes, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. That, however, is fiction...! Truth, sometimes is stranger (and more appealing) than fiction, if you have the right narrator, and Peter is exactly that ! There are so many complicated tasks to be performed in taking off and landing--- we cannot take things for granted, as the scenarios are dynamic, a fact that emerges when you listen to Peter's engaging--absorbing--narration ! Bravo Peter !

[@PeterMasella]

Fondly, I thank you as always!

[@cykotronic]

What’s with the fireworks on the Rockaways?

[@PeterMasella]

I noticed that too! I don't know what it was for!

[@SDK-im8sl]

At 9:56, looking down on Charlotte Douglas Airport, we see the beginnings of site preparation for a new 4th parallel runway to be constructed between the two existing west side runways. It's scheduled to open in 2027. The remaining crosswind Runway 5/23 will permanently close, making room for future terminal expansion. Charlotte's airfield will have four parallel runways all in a north-south alignment, similar to Orlando.

[@PeterMasella]

Very cool!

[@ksbear2]

I remember one flight on which we were departing CLT. Used 5/23 as a taxiway.

[@canyonoverlook9937]

Why type of plane is at 2:31? It is a smaller plane with no winglets. I know 767, 787 and 777 don't have winglets. I hate winglets.

[@PeterMasella]

757

[@canyonoverlook9937]

@@PeterMasella That was a 757? I wonder why it didn't have winglets. I have seen many with winglets including the 757 used as Air Force One.

Peter love your videos...please never stop I have to know, and you may have answered it before, why is the computer AWOS voice like it is from a video game in the 80's? with AI generated this and that couldn't a better voice be chosen ?

[@PeterMasella]

Thanks. I' m booking more flights! I have no idea why the voice is still like that but I think most pilots nowadays get the information via written text rather than having to listen to that.

[@amstevenson]

Great video as always! Do you follow ATC live in-flight, or do you just piece together everything afterward from recordings?

[@PeterMasella]

Sometimes I’ll do both but I generally piece everything together afterward. Thanks for watching!

[@idrissajalloh8402]

Hey love this video but can u go to gate 60to69 we are arriving and departing if you can and when you’re filming so I can see how the gates are if they renewed it or the 80to85 a anyone if u can tho

[@PeterMasella]

Thanks for watching! I’m not sure what you’re asking, though.

[@idrissajalloh8402]

@@PeterMasella I meant the old c and d gate

[@PeterMasella]

@@idrissajalloh8402 It can take 10 minutes to get between the old C and D gates (if you walk fast!)

What do you mean by renewed?

[@richierugs6544]

i think the Minneapolis airport has the most beautiful terminal of the US airports, what do u say Pete?

[@PeterMasella]

It definitely is my favorite connecting airport!
