TRIP REPORT | American Airlines | Charlotte to St. Thomas | Boeing 757-200 | Economy Class

[@planedudea380]

AAs classic livery looked stunning on the 757. Liked your style of TRs!

[@RefrigeratedWaffles2]

Looks like it wasn’t just the livery that survived! Lol!

[@PlaneHunter]

Great Trip Report! Quite lucky you got to fly the old 757 livery!

[@CollegeAviator]

Fantastic report! Absolutely love how the B757 looks in the new livery. What a pity it won't be around for long any more. Hope you had a great vacation! :)

[@ASAviation]

CollegeAviator thanks man. Sadly this plane was just retired today. Flew DFW-ROW and landed a few hours ago for the final time :(

[@herbertcarrillo-ramos3772]

N780AN was Stored on 07/2017 It then was delivered to DHL on 1/15/2019. Waow I loaded and unloaded A/C N780AN for soooo many years at JFK, SJU, then at MIAMI. I miss them when they retire soon. Thx for flying with us. Peace out from American Airlines Miami HUB...👍👍🍺

[@ASAviation]

Buddy N780AN is a 777-200ER that is still active with American XD If you're talking of this 757, N678AN, then yes it's with DHL now. I do miss these chrome birds as well and it'll be a huge shame when they're gone. In my opinion there really will never be a proper replacement for the 757!!

[@troyandrew6154]

9:18 that's a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean right there

[@herbertcarrillo-ramos3772]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOW.. I washed and polished few times N678AN in TULSA Maintenance Base. The days that will never return. I remember in 1988 and 1989 when we used to operate former flight AA655 from New York Kennedy Airport operating our former A300-605ER with the old runway,😱

[@airlinetraveller]

Awesome footage! St. Thomas looks beautiful =D

[@tommyholden602]

"No Smoking" signs on the armrest LOL - Same planes I flew on with AA flying from EWR to the Caribbean in the 1990s. Miss them! CLT = What AA WAAnted out of RDU in the '90s!

[@atlubeckAviation]

Amazing video! Super cool you were on the AA 757 old livery! Looked like fun! Enjoy your time in St. Thomas! Big like from me!

[@ASAviation]

Thanks buddy!

[@BritishLion2012]

Nice footage, Did a little bit of research and this is now a freight aircraft for DHL OE-LNW, Crazy how fast times change, Certainly miss the old American livery

[@MileHigh_Aviation]

In the old livery sick!!!! Loved it!!!!

[@isaacflyaway]

That cabin and livery on the B757 simply seem nostalgic😆 Awesome review!

[@triple7lover77]

Another fantastic trip report man 👍 the 757 looks like an awesome aircraft . St Thomas looks like a beautiful city 😀

[@ASAviation]

Thanks Brad! The 757 sure is great, sad we don't see them in Pakistan aside from the DHL 757. And St. Thomas is very beautiful, but it's not a city, it's an island. The city is called Charlotte Amalie.

[@flyingeagleaviation6701]

Those little intro things are the best! Great job editing this trip report!

[@braedenschmidt6873]

Dude I don't think you know how lucky you are to fly on an OLD LIVERY 757 out of CHARLOTTE. That's pretty awesome

[@ASAviation]

Yeah I was surprised myself! They usually fly out once a week from CLT.

[@MCHIBullDog]

You should do a trip from KDFW to KMFE, try to get on an MD-80 flight down there. The runway is 7,300 feet, small for an MD-80 and it'll get some good JT8D noise!

[@brandtridgway6721]

Awesome Trip Report! I truly enjoyed it!

[@jordanhartje9884]

Thanks for uploading. Great video bro. I live the silver AA 757-200.

[@geminibros4life556]

amazing trip report! didn't know that the american 757 old colors still existed!

[@ASAviation]

Thanks! Yeah there's only 7 left in the old livery!

[@geminibros4life556]

Ahuis 4224 nice!

[@Whenitraveltheworld]

Excellent report, thanks for posting. The first of your videos I have seen, I have subscribed though.

[@ASAviation]

When I Travel The World thanks so much James!

[@Alex-om1be]

No offence to Americans, but they are a bit dramatic. People near you scared about landing on water and the shock of the landing. I was in Las Vegas and the plane swerved during takeoff and everyone apart from us was screaming and then we had turbulence where the aircraft dropped a few hundred feet (completely normally). Relax, flying is safer than driving :-)

[@JustinLHopkins]

Alex Penney I live in America, but have traveled to several different countries. The most screaming and panicking I’ve experienced was on a flight from Madrid to London. Overall, I don’t find Americans anymore dramatic when flying than Europeans. If a plane drops a “few hundred feet” as you say, people are going to panic regardless of where you are in the world. A deviation of a few hundred feet is rare and considered severe turbulence. The human brain did not evolve to fly, so whether you’re a brave person or not, the brain does not register flight as a common sensation and anxiety is a normal response to any significant abnormality. You can watch hundreds of turbulence videos from around the world on KZbin and they all have one thing in common. Screaming.

[@marioprz0476]

Alex Penney not as much as latins bra

[@BandenLoyd]

I am an American but I agree with you

[@jr13227]

Most Americans don’t know shit about planes and take flying for granted, coming from an American

[@gordo1163]

@@jr13227 couldn't have agreed more, also coming from an american

[@airfreak75]

In reference to your comment about Lufthansa. They have been flying CLT-MUC for many years. Often with the A346. Prior to the AA/US merger US was Star Alliance along with LH so there was feed. But LH also runs the route because BMWs American plant is in NW South Carolina so the route serves to shuttle employees between as needed.

[@ASAviation]

Wow, thanks for the info! That makes much more sense now.

[@CARBONHAWK1]

Lucky how you get to fly a 757 and in old livery too! As a kid when I used to go on vacation to SDQ from BOS it used be plenty of em now they just send in A320s

[@ASAviation]

I miss the good old days where 757's were everywhere! A320's and 737's are boring tbh XD

[@NicholasFlorenzano]

great video!! can't wait for the trip back

[@robinplanes8332]

That's a cool livery!! 5:46

[@AVIATIONJAKE]

Awesome Trip! Hope You Enjoyed CLT!

[@ASAviation]

Thanks! Yeah CLT was great the 3hrs I was there!

[@citrusaviationhd5047]

Fantastic trip report! Loved it! One thing you might want to think of for your camera is an extra battery. They're not all that expensive and they can add 2- 5 hours of battery life.

[@ASAviation]

Yeah I want to get one soon! Thanks!

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

I have been to St. Thomas before! I flew on a Delta 737-700 from Atlanta to there and an American 737-800 to Miami

[@coashddjj2]

I can't believe how many people have to fly around on such old aircraft these days and the paltry food you get on these flights.

[@helloharambe2984]

coashddjj2 It doesn't matter how old the plane is as long as it gets you to your destination

[@loadiegirl48]

nice trip report...i might travel to the caribbean via plane someday having visited there via boat..

yay 🙌

[@Multi777x]

Very nice!

[@jviation737]

Pretty exquisite

[@jcspotter7322]

US airways used to be a part of the star alliance, so lufthansa would get plenty of traffic from them with codeshare flights, but I assume that because the flight was already established, Charlotte already had plenty of demand for the Germany route

[@bcrizzle8558]

Nice Video!

[@jamieallison8583]

Charlotte Douglas is a pretty decent airport... I've flown in and out of there several times.

[@ASAviation]

Jamie Allison yeah I really like CLT. Really easy to get around and very clean too!

[@Parker-hy6ux]

Delta also flies to CLT, and I believe its the A-gates

[@alexpirtle4930]

I went ST Thomas last year for vacation

Nice video. Liked

[@cooljames5840]

Great

[@jtkm]

Lufthansa is particularly successful in flying into non star alliance hubs. Philadelphia and Charlotte are perfect examples. I've flown to PHL from FRA and it seems to be that Lufthansa is very successful.

[@jukebox6975]

What software did you use for the flight map?

[@tylerhughes0]

your aircraft was captured at st thomas on google earth, next to the 737

[@dutchaviation8360]

Just subbed i like it

[@CARBONHAWK1]

I thought they only left one 737 in old livery or is this during the repainting.

[@ASAviation]

This is from two years ago in 2017 when there were many old liveries left. Now there's only the MD-80's and the single retro chrome 737.

[@bvimadness]

I hope you enjoyed the Virgin Islands. Do come again

[@karlosbricks2413]

5:33, nah, 4 is plenty, Heathrow has 2 and they cope just fine... sorta.. ish Nice Video though, its nice to see a good ol' honest economy review, i wish youtube would support this more, not a channel like Sam Chui or whatever. Btw, have American repainted their Mad dogs? I think American is partly delaying the repainting because , the longer an aircraft has the old livery, the less fuel it will burn.

[@karlosbricks2413]

Oh, ignore the MD-80 part then....:D

[@christian_chin]

What do you use I edit your videos

[@phag3048]

I thought aa repainted their fleet?

[@ASAviation]

[@BandenLoyd]

Lol they played beauty and the beast

[@josiahsalomon1318]

Also the reason why Lufthansa fly's to CLT airport is because before the merger Us Airways was part of the star alliance so is Lufthansa and air Canada and after American airlines us airways merger they most likely kept those airlines their for some reason instead of getting a one world airline to fly to CLT.

[@ASAviation]

Ah that makes sense thanks! BA should definitely fly to CLT imo.

Didn’t look like that hard of a landing. I flew the 757 of Delta a few days ago (video coming soon check it out) and it felt a lot like that.

[@ASAviation]

The camera doesn't do it justice. Considering the runway is 7000ft long and we're on a fully loaded 757 it was quite hard.

[@aviationlr272]

AS Aviation makes sense 👍
