[@mrivc211]

I got into aviation in the early 1990’s when my dad was a captain for emirates flying B727’s. I remember ordering justplanes dvds as a teenager because of my love for aviation. I started getting my licenses in 1999 and became an airline pilot in 2003 at a time when tens of thousands of pilots lost their jobs from 9/11, with 50% that remained facing 50% pay cuts. I still did it for my love of aviation. Fast forward to today, I own a flight school, I’ve left the airlines, most kids that walk into my school know nothing about plane spotting, most of them are getting into aviation for the money. I sat in my lobby a few months ago and asked them what are the top 3 longest range aircraft, I got back blank stares. None of them knew what a B747SP was. Great video. I was based at KORD from 2007-2011

I wish 747s were still as common as they were back then

[@casmatori]

You have to admit, despite their flaws - the DC10 is a good looking plane

On of my favorites. I like the MD11 as well

Sabena... my Belgian heart is still bleeding :(

[@thomashoefnagels8519]

Yea me to, this is the fault of Swissair they dragged them down. :(

[@nicov1837]

@@thomashoefnagels8519 While the Swiss certainly had their part in the demise of Sabena, it's a stretch to say they 'dragged them down'. Let's not forget Sabena had already been 'down' for 35 years by the time Swissair came along. In the 35 years from 1960 until the time Swissair bought itself in (1995) they had been profitable for two of them. Two. Sabena was a bottomless pit, with at the time two recently failed marriages (first to British Airways and KLM, then to Air France). This wasn't a case of Swissair buying a healthy company and then ruining it, it was them buying a company that had been in and out of intensive care for 35 years, and then thinking they could grow it back to health. Swissair finally ran the company into the ground by growing the airline at a ridiculous pace (30% per year!) in the late 90s, but ironically you could say that without Swissair, Sabena would've gone under in 1995 or 1996.

[@ASAviation]

50:14 that’s the best 777 landing I’ve ever seen. Just exceptional how the crew eased that bird onto the runway!

[@alvinmukkatt2288]

I still remember flying on the Air India Boeing 747-400 (seen in 5:36) back in 2008.

[@turbofanlover]

So, this looks like it was filmed some time in the summer of 2001. In other words...just before the horrors of 9/11 that would forever change aviation...and all of us. That made it kinda eerie to watch this. Now, with that said, I still enjoyed this look back in time. :)

[@vinucini4341]

Bringing nostalgic memories

[@PLANEMANIA747]

Seeing old footage is a kind of fun. Like some old retro livery and old aircraft. Its amazing💕😍

[@cancelanime1507]

I could watch this all day..

[@79sdv10]

Many 747-300s. Super rare bird.

[@spades9048]

This has it all. F100’s and even a 727-100? Perfect

[@shawnmccorkle5059]

Great video and video quality

[@Rennyteam359]

Oh memories of my days at ORD. We were the busiest then,460,000 operations annually. Worked from the tower only 60 ft high. Could not see all of the airport. Remember the supervisor we called, "Bear"! And that old cramped IFR room. 2 departure and 2 arrival positions.

[@MadeiraAirport]

Really awesome to watch this oldtimers!!

[@jaymartin6956]

I enjoy watching

[@RuiPlaneSpotter]

Nice!

[@mikepetitti]

This is an awesome video....thank you for posting

And yes, this also brings back the memories...

[@wendyraymond1751]

Was amazing as always ..was so lovely thanku love an God bless x

[@Bigmkem1]

Excellent and spectacular video! I love this!!

[@s2v8377]

I love this video, it's great to see for once so many American Airlines planes especially the 767-223s and 767-223ERs as well as well as the 727s. The AA Tri-bar polished metal livery never gets old. I wish more videos today featured this variety of American and United planes versus mostly foreign airlines.

[@chrisstehn9406]

these airplane are the same one used on 9/11

[@OHAREAVIATION]

The airplanes of my childhood.... thanks so very much for this upload.

[@andrewtaco]

Ahhh, remember when planes used to takeoff at an airport every 60 seconds?

[@a.i.3025]

Wow ! Airplan is started again.

[@Sveninou]

Sabena 747-300 😍

[@echo656zulu]

Great video. Didn't know what the one at 56:06 was. Looked up the tail number and apparently it's a British Aerospace ATP. Only 65 produced.

[@yeetoburrito]

I thought it was a Saab 2000

[@robertzeurunkl8401]

Man, that first 747 was REALLY heavy!

[@Kingpenguin94]

How can u tell?

[@NekoConnect]

It practically used the entire runway.

[@Kingpenguin94]

[@safeatthird6060]

Good old days

[@SDaveKilo]

The Aeroflot takeoff on 32L at 3:49-4:34 is the longest roll I've ever seen a 767 do. Must've been at (or above!) maximum certified gross weight, on a hot day.

[@catiiiaviation2775]

Russian pilots: “we pay whole runway we use whole runway”

[@zms8092]

Phenomenal footage as usually, JP! If this was 2001, it must be in either January or early February as United retired its last DC-10s by Feb. 15, 2001. Also see a Delta L-1011 in there and those were all gone by mid August, 2001.

[@vaughnjh]

Too green for Chicago in Jan or Feb.

[@20PINKluvr]

Also the fact that Sabena retired the 747 in 1999.

[@merrywissemes]

@@20PINKluvr, I agree. This had to be the summer of 1999 at the latest per when Sabena parked their 747-300’s. I live in Chicago was actually working at ORD for United at the time. There’s zero chance this is January or February.❄️

[@stefanfischer7433]

Swissair retired their 747 in 1998.

[@pyromcr]

The last of the good days...

[@20PINKluvr]

This is older than 2001. That Sabena 747 was retired in 1999

[@globaltrvl]

Love 747 best planes

[@paulh4943]

Never knew that Sabena had a 747!

[@JW-mx3qg]

Paul H right! Didn’t know either! And I was from that country... well Brussels airlines definitely isn’t like the old Sabena.

[@thomashoefnagels8519]

J W hahah yea they do Brussels airlines got the old a-340 form Sabena and 1 or 2 A330 from sabena.

[@imonymous]

You reminded me that I have flown on one of them. I wish I could remember exactly which 747 I've flown on everytime. I think the only other 300s I got to enjoy were Air India amd Swissair.

[@donald190]

Yup were used mainly on Johannesburg and Tokyo

[@cancelanime1507]

Back then it wasn’t so populated around O’hare

[@__gykm]

they had plane spotting back then

[@odayobalthazar]

The Royal Jordanian Tristar is so gorgeous !

[@chadkornack2409]

Wonderful video, really takes me back to visiting O'Hare in the '90s! Thank you for posting it. Having grown up near O'Hare in the '80s and '90s, I'm sure this video is not from 2001, though. Some of the planes seen here could not have been seen as late as then. One example is the Aeroflot 767-300 seen throughout this video, reg EI-CKD, which was traded to TWA by Feb of 2000. Another case is the elderly United 737-200 reg N9045U (landing at 51:57), which went into storage in July of 1998, and is believed to have been scrapped sometime in 2001. Love your videos...you keep posting, I'll keep watching!

[@jr13227]

I think it’s a compilation of up until 2001

[@alexcook2206]

is this really ohare? cause thats a LOT of farmland in the background, not to mention at 6:10 i see military tanker aircraft, and i dont think ohare was ever an air base in 2001

[@Bantha121]

Funny thing about that Aeroflot 767, now it flies for the Chilean Air Force

[@OHAREAVIATION]

@@alexcook2206 i think this is more like 1997-1998 for reasons stated above by Chad Kornack but it is most certainly ORD since I recognize the terminals and runway environments.

[@gondoravalon7540]

@@alexcook2206 The stripes on the jetways for American Airlines' terminal also are a good hint that it is ORD - IDK of anywhere else where American did that.

[@friendlysky7674]

32:59 that American MD80 is the same one I flew first class in back in June of 2019. It was from DFW-CMH. (the one on the right)

[@sidneyjones5318]

GREAT plane spotting was at MDW in its heyday. Oh, the DC-7s, DC-6s, DC-4, DC-3s, Constellations (all of 'em), Convair 340 and Martin 404, Boeing Stratocruiser, Viscount, Electra - WOW! And the air lines: Braniff International, Capital, Northwest Orient, Eastern, Air Wisconsin, Ozark, Piedmont, TWA! All from the safety of the roof-top observation deck. THAT was the day, folks!

How often do the planes fly over? So often you won’t even notice.

When United and Continental merged in 2010 they kept Continental's livery and branding, and the United name.

Boeing 767

[@arandomphotographer]

Seems like a 767 for me

[@krisct2597]

767

[@user-tq1tf6hh9w]

Looks like Runways 22R, 9L, 27R, 32L from Tango 10, and 32R are the actives. Old Runway 18/36 appears prior to being closed and converted into a taxiway. This is the north side of the field and except for runway 32L, they are the original four runways. 14R/32L was the first runway built for jets.

[@chack1965]

9:55 = !))

[@user-rt1vk9gh8o]

back when the 777 was still the new kid on the block

[@kamelarekat1764]

Great Footage, but this is even before 1999, as Royal Jordanian last L1011 left the fleet by end of 1998

[@jaymuller]

Anyone know which runway these landings are on? 28/10C?

[@user-tq1tf6hh9w]

10C/28C didn't exist back then. These are mostly landing 22R, 9L, 27R and 14L. Taking off on 32L from Tango 10, 32R, 9L, and 27R. This is all the north side of the airfield. 10C/28C was built on the south side. BTW, back in 2001, the Current 9R/27L was 9L/27R and the current 10L/28R was 9R/27L. What is now 9L/27R had not been built.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Interesting to see Aeroflot and Alitalia with 767s. And a BA 747 still in the Landor scheme, so yes, around '98 I'd say

[@tommyholden602]

I think this was before 2001 at ORD, likely late 1990s as UA DC-10s and DL L-1011s were gone by 2001. I'm thinking 1998-1999.

[@20PINKluvr]

Most likely. A lot of the planes and airlines shown ceased operations in 1999.
