Here’s a pretty incredible video produced by JustPlanes featuring a behind-the-scenes look at Air Canada’s flight from Toronto to Hong Kong, AC015. It begins in dispatch and ends with a fantastic short-final video touching down in Hong Kong, also including incredible scenery from the polar route it flies in between. One of the pilots does…

Trip Report: United Airlines inaugural 777 flight DEN-ORD June 7, 1995
I was going through my photos yesterday and came across the batch of pictures I took when I flew on the inaugural United Airlines Boeing 777 flight from Denver to Chicago on June 7, 1995. Knowing there are a ton of aviation geeks out there like me, I figured it would be worth it to…
United Airlines to keep International First Class cabins where appropriate… for now

Video: First United Airlines 777 is repainted into the new livery
In my weekly review of airline-related videos posted to youtube, I came across a few today featuring the repaint of one of United’s Boeing 777s. At least they started with a battleship gray plane before defacing the more recent livery, the one I will fervently miss. Regardless, it is an interesting process to watch in…
