Re-Inaugural Flight - American Airlines - Boeing 737-8 Max - MIA-LGA - N314RH - AA718 - IFS Ep. 361

[@sla31]

For the first time in nearly two years, the Boeing 737 Max took to the skies above the United States, with paying passengers onboard. I was one of those passengers. I recorded the entire flight, in crystal clear 4K, so you too can fly on this historic flight! Join me on American Airlines flight 718 from Miami to New York.

Hey Skylite, your biggest fan from dirty Jersey. I loved this video. Being a former NYC boy having flown into JFK many times, the Canarsie approach had always been my favorite (enters south Brooklyn over the beaches, right turn and follows the Belt Parkway eastbound, very sharp right turn over the hotel at JFK to land on 13L). But the 31 into LGA is a very close second. Talk about a short final! I've heard that some pilots refer to it as a carrier landing. "When you spot Rikers Island's prisons, turn left real hard." (We used to do longer finals when my brother and I flew single engine Warriors back in the day!)
