- Catching a solar eclipse in a plane might seem like a flight of fancy, but we’re not ones to turn down a challenge. Alaska Airlines put together a team of aviators, astronomers and umbraphiles to catch The Great American Eclipse on August 21, 2017. The result? A once-in-a-lifetime view of totality from 38,000. Details: blog.alaskaair.com/alaska-air...
Shot 100% on GoPro.
The best part is that you can literally see the edge of the shadow.
Hippie Skater 😂
In the end, yeah wowww!
Oh my god
Look at that
Oh my god
Oh my god
The moooons shadow
Look at that
Diamond ring
Prominences
Totality
Oh my god
Look at that
Oh my god
hahahahaha!
omg
omgom
omgom
omg
LMFAO
Fuck you and your victorian bride babes bitch.
"it's coming" "Oh my god"
For those criticizing the repeated "OMG", just know that totality is nothing like anything you've ever experienced. During the 1991 total eclipse, I was in La Paz, Baja Mexico, saying the same "OMG" >10x as well. Incredible experience.
I think people have two modes, OMG mode and speechless mode. I was speechless a couple of weeks ago. I literally couldn't think of what to say right at totality. :)
EDIT: And starwars mode before totality "Almost there..."

I remember that eclipse, I was only 6 years old 🙈
I was in Cherokee, North Carolina for that eclipse and it was a full eclipse right in the middle of the path. I didn't say oh my god. I just looked at it which lasted about 3 minutes or so, things got dark, the Cherokee started whooping all around you because you're up very high on Soho mountain on Cherokee land. It was very cool but it's just an eclipse. Why is the media telling us to get more food, water and fuel for this one? Why is the April 8th eclipse being turned into something biblical? The answer is to scare the shit out of everyone, and it's working. Because now they will do things like shut down the phones or even the power grid for a while and blame it on a cosmic event! Now that's if they do that and when I mean they, I'm talking about the people that control and own everything. So buckle up and get the popcorn ready, the eighth day, the eight cities and the year equaling 8, this eclipse is biblical according to many sources and the media, when it's just an eclipse. They want you to be afraid, be very, very afraid.
I was in La Paz...nobody cares
I was lucky enough to get to watch the totality from right off my back deck of my house in South Carolina USA. Lawn chair, glasses, video cam, some beer, and a once in a lifetime event. A big thank you to the good lord for the amazing show!
Winner of the coolest eclipse video :) This is marketing done right.
shut up with your marketing nobody likes ads
Thank you so much for sharing that experience
That was epic! Alaska, you are rad.
This is amazing. I wish I was on that flight... I lived 99% of the eclipse.
I can watch this again and again. Amazing.
Fantastic!!! Unique view
So cool! Thank for sharing.
so completely amazing! Thanks for sharing Alaska Air! :)
Absolutely amazing eclipse video. Watching moon's shadow moving away on the clouds at 0:30, and then again at 0:51, OMG, simply the best ever phenomenon seen in a video.
Yes! It was best place to see such cosmic event
Beautiful, and amazing technological feat of a flight plan!
This had to be so special.
I was hoping someone would capture it from the air! thanks!
Amazing!
You'all lost my bags once. All if forgiven for this. You rock.
They aren’t responsible for non carry on luggage. It’s the airports ground crew that is responsible.
Very late reply yaay
Wow this is so beutifull!!!
Nice . I love it.
Amazing
It’s 2024! I took Alaska Airlines to fly to Mazatlan!!! 2 weeks until TOTALITY!!!!
VERY COOL !
I saw the eclipse from the ground on Monday. Your brain short circuits at a sight of that magnitude. So I don't blame that guy going nuts on the video, I would just watch it with the sound off, because I was saying the same thing. I'm impressed he wasn't cursing.
I wouldn't be surprised if Alaska Airlines would want to do the solar eclipse chase someday as a tour especially after getting the next generation SSTs. That would be an epic experience for sure, with totality lasting as long as possible, especially replicating the famous Concorde flight from the 1973.
Did the plane lean to the one side with everyone huddling around the windows?
Were u over carbondale
That was so bad ass!!
really? you got just the vid of the eclipse? Great commercial for Alaska Air...
Great!!
In 1996 I was six years old, but I even remember well how I felt that for a moment the temperature in the room became a little cool from the eclipse of the Sun.
I can still hear Oh my god , look at that !!!
Look at it !
was waiting for that guy to say "HAA GOTTEEEM"
Nice
What the heck? Did I just get suckered into watching a bloody commercial? LOL!
Feel sorry for those not near the window. I have traveled to 18 eclipses the best we’re Philippines 1988 and turkey 2006
Wow!!
How good is Alaska? I want to know when Virgin America merges with Alaska in 2019.
Alaska is amazing.
Just look at it!
Hey look... another fish eye lens video. Thanks, Alaska Airlines!
How do you get on the flight?
music?
The other video where the guy does a play by play like a sportscaster is better ; )
Andrea H oh my god!
Andrea H sounds like the professor off The Simpsons.
Totality!
Diamond ring!
That may be him at 0:38
As much as I would love to see it from the air, there are so many little things you miss out on if you're not on the ground. You can feel the air become cooler. And you're shadow becomes elongated and thin
And one flight delay is all it takes to miss it, when you could have planned to be somewhere else for it.
The shadow at 0:33!!!!!
Got me crying again.. damn it. 0:31 First time in countless videos watched of this extremely beautiful event that I saw the shadow effect, and it.. wow.
Glad I'm not the only one
Shown much longer in this video... but you might want to mute it ;P

lookkkk at thattt
When words simply fail you.
Can you blame the guy :D I would be so excited too :D
What's the song name?
0:26 Ma'am, please do not put your hand on that handle.
Oh my god, would you look at that, I mean just look at it
0:53 something extremely disturbing, for size reference, I googled how wide is the moon and it's roughly 2200 miles. I then google how wide is the united stated, its roughly 2700 miles coast to coast.thats a small difference between them. why does that shadow seem only a couple hundred miles across? 😨😱
It has to do with the immense size of the sun relative to the moon and earth. If you have a large light source shining onto something, and then place a small obstruction in between, the large light source will spill light over and around the obstruction, and the shadow cast by it will be smaller than the obstruction itself. The larger the distance between the obstruction and the surface the light is originally being shown at, the smaller the shadow will be.
I probably did a poor job of explaining it but if you Google search "how big is the solar eclipse shadow" and go to the images tab, there should be a lot of diagrams that explain it better.
Tudo plano
"I had a window seat, but I was on the wrong side of the plane so I just took a nap"
Haha!!
Alaska Airlines, I have a question: Do you always offer that on your flights?
"Sorry our Boeing door panels blew off mid-flight. But look! An eclipse!"
It's not the moon it's Rahu
0:16 flat earthers be like.. that curve looks flat.
Airline windows have a curve to release pressure stress
The camera's fish eyed lenses are distorting the shots it's obvious. Go look at a basic google search and type in flat horizon pictures and you will get thousands. 35,ooo feet isnt jack. I've seen 219,ooo with no curve. And hundreds at all levels. Their is no eight inches curve squared per mile anywhere on this plain. Sea level, air plane not air curve and sea curve. Ask the pilot what the gyroscope does. Look up people bringing aboard levels during flight or on their phones. Notice the 5oo miles per hour plane doesn't have to constantly drop the nose for a 166,666. 666 inch supposed curve in an hour. Crazy how the curvature rate seems to often use 666 with these freemasons and their science.
Then you see the 31 second mark and you realize , damn i shouldn't of spoken up. Go pro in your 16 seconds will do that. They have 2oo,ooo footage from Navy jet that shows flat horizon. You never ever ever see curve or measure the curve of eight inches squared anywhere or anytime except NASA cgi or wide angle fish eyed lenses.
charleysturbos
We do measure curvature and horizon drop with precise tools, at least 10 mi above sea level.
Your eyes are shallow.
Mike O'Hernia
They have a small hole in the middle to do that.
Does anyone know the route of this flight?
My wife and I were on our honeymoon and randomly happened to end up on this flight from Anchorage to Honolulu. Truly amazing experience that we will never forget!!!!!
Correction, this was the second time Alaska Air did this. This one was specifically to see the totality. It left from Portland OR and returned there after viewing the eclipse. We were on the original flight in 2015 that left from Anchorage and landed in Honolulu.
@@francissheehan3520 okay thank you 😊
Android Oreo released when solar eclipse
Primeiramente que momento espetacular,que Deus perfeito o nosso que criou tudo isso,e esse vídeo mostra claramente a curvatura da terra o que vai contra a teoria da terra plana,e acredito que quem fez esse vídeo não está querendo passar uma mentira pro povo....
Basically eclipse happen all the time just hlso happens they occur in different places.
Guy: 0:17
CZcams: *COPY STRIKE*
Talk about a once in a lifetime...add,lol
👍👎⚠Enable ratings for this video or the videos you make so that people can help you with the criticism
the plane will get too heavy on right side of the plane
:D
im sure the autopilot was like what the flip is happening here...
It is called a solar eclipse not 'American eclipse'
airlines using space to advertise now xd
what tht flat earthers
Its flat
@@3rdw. you think circle is flat to
*jealousy intensifies*
show me the eclipse !!!! not people !!!
Amazing guys!! Also if that view is not enough to make one at least contemplate a plan/flat earth I am not sure what could
More eclipse less people please!!
:D
See the NASA images to see how the corona actually looks in person...
Westsider95 nasaeclips
you can see how flat is our plane...super video
Yes, a plane is flat, but a planet is not.
@@fernandoaldekoa2436 lol wake up or buy new pair of eyes,dude
@@minimalist1807 Go back to school, and this time pay attention.
@@fernandoaldekoa2436 re educate its free
@@minimalist1807 imagine being this stupid
too bad you showed more of the people than the eclipse.
FLATH EARTH IS TRUE...FLATH EARTH IS TRUE...FLATH EARTH IS TRUE...FLATH EARTH IS TRUE...FLATH EARTH IS TRUE...FLATH EARTH IS TRUE...
lol retards gonna retard
Besides one of the GoPro cameras that they have the Earth is definitely flat from that height can you see that :-) just look at it LOL the Earth is flat wake up people!!!
1000% FLAT LIKE GOD MADE IT. thats all i was looking for in the vid
Why didn't they zoom in on the eclipse after it became a total? ??? because you would see its not the moon that blocks out the sun but Orbs
👎
This is only good on mute
It wasn't an eclipse ,it was a close electric sun powering down and powering up.
@0:33 & @0:50
Forget the eclipse the earth looks flat to me.
Fish eyed lenses like on go pros do that. Convex, concave. Flatearthclues.com
Anyone see the 3 orbs around the sun?? Very clear this time
double-pane window reflections and lens flare happen all the time
@@ir8free Naw, I thought the same watching the other vid, the one with dude saying "OH MY GOD" all the time. I just stumbled across this vid and it's clearly a different camera, different angle, same orbs, same position, same count, so now I'm questioning EVERYTHING I seen. What ARE those things? They indiviually lit up at the same time when the sun re-appeared too, that was pretty interesting as well...
The earth is totality flat asf
Clearly not since eclipses would never happen with the lame FE model.
And yet the eclipse got more views than all your videos combined
Flath earth
👎
crooks still charge you for snacks and bevs
Roger Waters they don't charge for "bevs" lol
Flat earth
👎
its so fucking flat holy shit
Flatearthclues.com One video and you will not mock. Definition of ignorance is arguing something you know nothing about but refuse to learn. 200 reasons why the earth isn't spinning. Or anything eric dubay. We all started out believing it was a heliocentric spheroid as well. "Until we decided to think for ourselves"and learn.
Nice
