Dear friends and followers welcome back to my channel!
Have you ever wondered why some airplanes get a water salute? I must admit it´s a rare occasion but the tradition is spread out throughout the world, but it´s not the airline industry who started with this salute. It goes way back when ocean liners were setting off on their maiden voyage overseas. Firefighting boats would line up next to the brand new ship and spray water fountains next to it whilst leaving the harbour.
So in the 1990´s, Salt Lake City Airport would start spraying water arches over retiring Delta airline captains after their last landing. And that´s how it all started. But see more in the video!
Thanks for watching, all the best your "Captain" Joe

When my son's body was sent home, a water salute was done in respect for his service in the Army. 😔
Marie Holcomb I’m sorry
@@towerr Thank you
you should feel honored for that and also it feels gutted to lose a son. I'm sorry.
@@adilammarbaig It was a great honor & I'm proud to be a soldier mom. And it also felt like tons of tears raining down on his final flight home. Thank you
@Tribe of Dan Thank you for your kind words.
Our family received a water cannon salute while we escorted our 20 year old son home for the last time, He was a United States Marine. We lost him in 2017. We didn't know they were going to do it, but the Captain ordered it for us. Very emotional moment, very beautiful, thank you sir.
Damn... RIP. Thank him for his service.
I'm sorry to hear that, we are super grateful for his service. May he rest in peace.
Semper Fi
Sorry for your loss...... semper fi....
rongi69 your son died for your country so that’s a meaningful life!
I'm an airport firefighter and we also do water salutes for military remains arriving to our airport.
Ok
@VernalFN MSP International
You gonna proud of that🤔
Asrourr Asrourr ahahahahah
Useless.
Every water cannon salute I've seen, sadly, has been for returning military service who died in combat.
Yep
@@the_realcountryboy Our unit flew out of the states on our first leg to Afghanistan on a charter. They gave us a water salute as we left
Broke Built ❤️
At least they died for a good reason. Oh wait, they didn't.
@@MarkSkids So edgy, I bet it only takes you 3 min to ask for a cup of water at mcdonalds instead of 5.
I hereby perform a water salute for Captain Joe due to his return!

I had a water salute and I thought the plane was on fire

R/thathappened.
Zark Zark? Its a perfectly resonable thing to experience. Although it is a rare event, it's not impossible that at least one person from the youtube comments has experienced one
Also, why are you trying to link subreddits from outside of reddit, you do realise that if you post a link to a subreddit on youtube, it doesnt actually link.
Ryanair gets a water salute when they land within 50 miles of the city they're advertised as flying to.
Well played sir.
😂
I just touched my nipple and it’s cold
Gaming vids wtf
😂
My grandad retired from delta around 98 or 99. Had the honor of being on his final flight and got to see the salute first hand.
Grandad and plane retired at the same day
Retired as what? Surely not a pilot at that age?!
Oh, you mean '98 or '99 as in 1998/99?
@@rolirolster
Ha ha 😒
@@rolirolster ha ha 😒
That’s around the same time my late great grandfather retired. Also from United.
Because flamethrower salutes didn't really caught on
Karlo Moharić On the contrary, I assume they'd catch on very well, eh?

"Do not want to drench boarding passengers at the nearby parked Low Cost airline..."
Hilarious...!
the way he said it made me suspect this is something he saw actually happen :P
@@magnalucian8 yeah i feel this too
low-cost airlines typically dont use the gates but board paasengers in open parking spots
Great marketing opportunity for the LCC to sell umbrellas?
Baron Hussein Ryan air
In the United States, there are "Honor Flights," in which an airliner is chartered to fly veterans of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam to Washington D.C. to see their respective war memorials. These flights often receive a water salute when flying into Dulles and Reagan, and occasionally when they return home as well.
Sorry guys for been offline for a few weeks, but her majesty needed all my attention during the type-rating. But successfully completed my check-flight yesterday (Yeah Buddy;) and now have more time to answer your sent in questions via my videos!
Welcome back! :-)
Captain Joe Hello Joe! Thanks for the great video again! Do you have an email where I can reach out to you and ask something about my CRM interview? I tried your website but I think it is under maintenance.
Thanks in advance!
congratulations Joe, well done.
Good luck, and have a clear sky
Ciao ;))
It's always a pleasure to learn from you. Thanks for another informative and entertaining video.
Congratulations!! Are we going to get any videos from the 747 cockpit?
I didn't see any ads... That's refreshingly odd.
Being on a flight when a fallen soldier was being returned to his family was one of the most emotional experiences of my life. Once we were under Water Salute the Captain asked us to remain seated until the military officer onboard our flight left the cabin because he was accompanying a fallen soldier home. Sitting on the side of the plane where they brought the casket out I started crying because of how emotional the service was. I was not the only passenger crying because in the quiet of the cabin you could hear others having the same reaction. This will always move me and is a lifetime memory.
One you forgot is the one with the body of a fallen U.S service member is on board.
I was honoured to be part during the inaugural flight to my home airport. I was invited to be the photographer at the scene and got to take really beautiful pictures of the water cannon salute. Seeing it was majestic and also a reminder that my home airport is slowly becoming more and more international.
Aqim Julayhi Which is your home airport?
Yes , which ?
KLIA :D
zachy FTW Nah, my friend. It's Miri airport. MYY/WBGR
Got to experience it again today. Still majestic as always.
Iam a firefighter....we have given this salute of affection from our rosenbauer 6x6......its a challenging task to make the water blast meet at a point and holding it there for a while when u have no visual of the other cft and water dripping all over your windshield........well we are made to do the impossible,so salute to all the firefighters out there.... jai hind.
Vishnu Venugopal I’m replying a long time from now, but when you make that arc normally it’s coordinated between the trucks and they both tilt the water cannon say 60 degrees up, and if it’s a cobra you should be able to do that perfectly via the touchscreen
Youre not a fire fighter
My ass 😂
Hi cptn joe! I've just recently discovered your videos, and i love them! As an ATC, I've seen a fair number of salutes over the years. My last supe was a very awesome guy, and he coordinated a salute for me on the day i retired. It was an awesome and emotional experience that I'll never forget!
Watching this video gave me goosebumps; thinking of retiring captains, military personnel who’ve died in service, new planes, old planes, and new airlines all being honoured by an airport’s employees in this way, like a great big ‘thank you’, just made me feel good. Humanity is great sometimes 😊
My wife loves to be greeted by a shower of affection from me.
FRANTIC ™
Not that shower
Ahahaha!
What kind of shower?
some kind of insider joke kid...
why do not all women like showers of affection?
Kennedy Steve is hilarious!
SJ Navaid found you here as well
Moazzam Baig I have found you two twice today
Manuel Bonet really..on which channel?
Legend
Moazzam Baig I'm not sure right now, let me check...
Edit: I can't find the specific video
If there's a newly built airport, does this mean water salute will be done to all arriving and or departing aircraft?
Likely not.
I'd like to think so. I can picture having fire hydrants running for like a week straight.
No they will spray the entire airport with water so expect a slippery floor when entering aircraft it may cause you to fall on the *TARMAC* but thats okay the ground control will come and help you board
I think the do the first one to arrive
@Airbus A340-600 i made it bigger just for you

I remember when Delta retired the last L1011. It got a water salute before taking off. Very emotional as the L1011s were used a lot ATL to FLL. Back in the day, I was weekly passenger, and it was such a pleasure. My favorite plane ever. The water salute seemed so perfect.
The Airberlin part killed my heart :(
Patrick W. I think it also killed Joe's. He lost all seniority ranking and had to begin from the bottom again at Cargolux. At least there's approximately zero chance of Cargolux going bankrupt.
R.I.P.
same... 😭💔
Firetrucks: All hail the queen! (sprays water)
B747: Why its quite lovely to be back. Thank you!
As a member of the Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting crew in Denver, I had the honorable duty of preforming many water salutes for retiring Captains and inaugural flights. I miss working at the airport and being around airplanes all day.

This is the coolest of aviation traditions! When I was in the Navy, I was witness to two of them. One on land and one at sea!
With so many water salutes for new flights and stuff, I feel the meaning just gets watered down...
Get out
@@joshcanttakeajoke2853 over your head like a water salute?

Won’t they get wet of the water?
Are planes water resistant??

I have just watched how my Croatian football team who won the silver medal on the football world cup got water salute, when they came here in Zagreb in Croatia with Airbus a319, then I reminded myself to this video. They deserve it! Bravo HRVATSKA!
Really cool! Thanks for sharing and congratulations to Croatia!
Filip Kuna Sincere congratulations to Croatia from France. They were solid.
Sanctus de Mattis Quantico France deserve it also 😏
FranceBetter I HATE CROATIAN POEPLE
Congrats to Croatia.Do impossible things happened! Never in my life that I watched a game of a small nation try to beat a bigger one for a World Cup trophy so intense.Never got my eyes from the TV,sad to see you failed.Will be on the history book to write that an Eastern European countries beating up Western European countries.Can't wait for my trip to Split to attend my friend wedding there
I had this happen when I came home from Iraq. It was pretty cool.
Vanilla Gorilla Likewise.
Ty both of you for your service :)
cory collier , I appreciate it brother.
and u did it with blood in Iraq
cory collier service?
what service did you do other than killing civilians to steal oil and "solve" a problem you caused yourself
I was on a Delta 737 from IAD to SLC which turned out to be the last flight for the retiring captain. Not only was there a water canon salute that we taxied through, there was cake & sparkling cider for everyone at a reception in the gate area. It was a remarkable event for all of us.
I had water salute once... but then I woke up in the wet bedding.
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
That's a trap.
Lmao🤣
😂😂😂
I think that's called a ''golden shower'', not a water salute but words are open to interpretation, i guess...
Its very good you've back,
We're thankful for your dedication and attention for us.
Tnx buddy
Joe will you be getting a water salute? Hope you do, you deserve it.
He already got it when he landed in Serbia
zz12345aaa12345zz Fr! Good for him. Must have been one of his best life moments.
Yeah! I'm so glad, he totally deserved it!
@zz12345aaa12345zz
why did he get a water salute when he landed in Serbia?
@@jesses-m did you even watch this video
I was on a plane once that had the honorof escorting a fallen soldier home from war to be laid to rest. When we landed in his home town, the airport arranged this to happen for the family to witness their gratitude for the sacrifice their soldier had made. It brought me and everyone else on board to tears.
"Shower of affection".....If I didn't know any better, I would have thought the term was a euphemism for a golden shower.
I had a similar thought, but I would consider "golden shower" a euphemism already.
when i grow up i want to be a plane
You can do it. My cat is now a Viking trireme
i’m rooting for you!!
Me, I want be bacteria
when i grow up i want to be a toaster
Lol
I saw water salutes at our airport when chartered planes return with WWII veterans after their trip to see their memorial in DC.
At my small regional airport roughly 50-70 flights a day we have a lot of make a wish, and the fire fighter do salutes
I'm working from one year as ground crew in Pisa International Airport and the first time that I saw a water salute I was so excited! (First flight from Casablanca with Air Arabia).
Thanks for your channel, I'm learning so many things 😍
‘Cause the fire brigades at airports have way too much time on their hands‘ would be MY first guess 👀🤷🏼♀️😅
Isn’t that a good thing
Eric Gentry True that 🤔😯😂👍🏻
Swede Potato Pie I know that from first hand
Always a good day when emergency workers dont have to do their job
Makes sense. Emergency workers should have too much time on their hands most of the time - if they didn't, then you'd be understaffed for a real emergency.
It's scary coincidence that Mentour Pilot and you uploaded a video with the same topic 3 hours after each other. It's probably a sign of the universe that you have to collab with each oter ;-)
Leo mentour took his down
He’s going to let Captain Joe have this one and upload his later.
David R it’s happens all the with people that produce similar content. I notice that it happens with Tom Scott, wendover etc
Just a coincidence.
It happens relax, people will see your comment David and will take the suspicious comment serious, it's not a problem, move on Investergater
I love simultaneous landing/take off operations..don't you..?? Whats wrong whith it..??
I have been a part of a funeral detail for a fallen soldier as he returned home from the battlefield and he was given a water salute along with other fallen soldiers, airmen, sailors, and Marines. I also been on the aircraft when we received a water salute when we returned home from deployment.
They also do it for troops returning home from deployment
Yeeess!! Kennedy Steve got a shout out from Captain Joe! That made my day. They should’ve given him a water salute up in the tower.
You finally uploaded !!!! Could you make videos about choosing the right flight school ?
i LOVEEEEEE that it’s called a Shower of Affection, that’s so cool!
When flying back from Afghanistan in a C17 we thought we were getting a water salute as we were taxing in...turns out we had just hit some large birds and they were hosing off the guts before disembarking us to our reception and homecoming.
Captain Joe, It’s funny you showed San Francisco Airport for some of the clips. It’s interesting because they stopped doing water salutes due to the drought we had a couple years back. It really sucks they don’t do them anymore.
How many golf courses are still green?
A fire engine made the mistake once and fired foam instread resulting in the flight being cancelled.
At Heathrow, we do it occasionally, If not a water salute we have 3 or 5 leader vehicles lead in the aircraft.
oof
*O O F*
*OoF*
*o O f*
OOF
Proud to say I’ve checked “help organize a water cannon salute for a retiring captain” off my aviation bucket list.
I love stuff like this. Thanks for sharing!
4:12 "I've been there and I've don't that and I do not need to see it again" 😂😂
In Soviet Russia planes gets salute by flame throwers.
I can't stress it enough ........Thank you so much Captain Joe to take the time out of your busy life to educate us all , thank you.
Safe journey on all your flights .
Bless you .
I love the way the captain makes the announcement during landing and take off.. 😊 😊 Big THANK YOU for your work.. 😊
My friends laundry was water saluted by his mom
Concord did not have his last water salute 😢
But the last passenger MD-11 did have it.
I was on an Honor Flight with my grandfather. We flew with a bunch of war vets. We went from KSYR>KIAD. Got the water salute at arrival at Dulles, and arrival home at Hancock. We apparently caused several delays at KIAD. Everything stopped as people lined up to welcome the vets to DC. Nobody could get through except our group. All sorts of color guards, etc. welcoming us. Even random people stopped what they were doing. The overhead PA system at the airport announced our arrival. It was an amazing experience. I'm getting emotional thinking about it...
Wow! I want to be a Flight Attendant and I also see this video will really help me to relate with the Aviation Industry. Thanks for sharing, Captain!
Haven't clicked on a video this fast for a while...
Andrew Can me too .
Haha. Makes two of us
No three of us.
My Dad is a retired Delta Captain. My mother, brother and I were onboard his final flight - MD-11 in the mid 90s- where he had a water salute. I was very proud of him. The passengers didn’t seem very interested at the time. The first officer was super cool and made it memorable. It was exciting for me and I was very proud of my Dad . Maybe with the passing years it has become more interesting to people. Thank you for your video, I had no idea of the history.
Edmontonian here! Never knew this happened not even an hour away from me, but good job on the pronunciation as well! Many people put the strain on the wrong part of the word, so it comes out sounding weird, but you aced the pronunciation. Fun fact, I flew on KLM I'm pretty sure the same sort of time as the inaugural flight!
Anyways, love your videos, keep making them :)
This gave me goose bumps. This is camaraderie, this is peace. Cheers Captain.
Oh I thought all those water fountains were just for planes where passengers found my mix tape.
Joe,
I was sitting in the KLM flight in this video
I'm sure I was on the last flight of the pilot of Swiss in the video that you show (4:39) .Pretty good video btw as usually
Great video! Video idea: a few years ago the carpet (yes, the CARPET!) at the PDX, Portland (Oregon) International Airport was changed. The hysterical goings-on over the love the old carpet got, is almost unbelievable, yet very funny. I would love to see your take on that story. Granted, it's not directly about flying, but about the surface passengers and crews walked on to the airplanes. I am sure, with your sense of humor, you could make an entertaining video about PDX'old carpet. :-)
It would be phenomenal, if you manage to get an interview with Kennedy Steve (or Boston John)! :D
That would be a dream come true! hope this video reaches him :)
Or Pearson Dave from Toronto… even his voice has a very similar tone like Kennedy Steve (but he less frequently educate the tugs and I never heard him say "Spendid!")
I believe that Kennedy Steve has retired and Boston John went to San Juan, PR a while back as a manager w/ATC. Miss them both. All the best Joe.
The canadian airports and particularly the Montreal international Airport (YUL) doesn't use water salute but maple syrup salute ! Just for your information :-)
:-)
John did you lost your sens of humor or what ? :-)
Lmao hope the passengers brought pancakes
Colonel Astatine, you must know that every single passenger landing in Canada in a "saluted airplane", reveive 3 fresh pancakes at the departure airport, especially to enjoy this maple syrup at the arrival airport ! Am I the first one who reveal this tradition ? Really ? :-)
Hahaha you must be kidding
that was a neat video i didnt know anything about the water salute i just thought at first when i saw the thumbnail and title you were just goin to talk about a wash down and i was thinkin really a 6+min video on washing off salt but that was something new i didnt know about and thanks
Hey Joe I live in Wellington New Zealand (nearish to Auckland btw) and when Singapore Airlines started their SQ247 stopping service via Melbourne there was a water salute and the plane (including captain, and first officer) was greeted by a traditional Maori Haka dance and than there was a hangi greeting (which seemed to off put the pilots a bit lol!) it was pretty cool.
captain Joe i have actually seen a water salute on a domestic flight here in Kenya (Jambo Jet)
Oh, really. Awesome
*Sees Captain Joe new video notifications *
Me: *happy* :D
Same
Generalofkills Genofkills me too
I've been through 3 of these on my trips to Hawaii. I always assumed they were just washing the plane and thought nothing much of it. Now that I'm aware it has more of a meaning, I think I'll pass on a congratulatory praise.
16000 thousands hours of flying and yet i learned something today ! Thats the reason one I love my job so much! Thank you and Good luck in your career Capt Joe!
So everyone's just gonna ignore the fact that this was on their reccomended?
Literally everyone that clicked on this video who isn’t a plane fanatic is here because they *didn’t* ignore the fact that this was on their recommended.
naah I found this when I was looking through his videos
Was not disappointed
Who's disliking this video.. like what exactly could have possibly offended you from this video?
Maybe they're drunk. Mistakenly disliked the video. Lol
I live in Illinois and, after snow storms when the weather gets better, I give my car its random showers of affection via my local carwash.
Captain Joe,
Your videos are so entertaining and informative. I love your channel. I always feel a little smarter after watching an episode.
Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.

Captain, what is better that a water salute video to welcome 2020 in Dubai time zone! Very emotional!
Seeing fire trucks with their lights on all lining up spraying water on the plane could start a panic among the passengers! Hahahaha
I only half to turn my head 90° to see a Concorde right now (im at a hotel and out side my window is the run way and on the side of the airport i can see it)
Nicky h225 The fake model?
I was on a Central Valley Honor Flight flying Veterans from Fresno CA to Washington DC in May 2018, upon departing Fresno our flight was honored with two water canons. Upon arriving at Baltimore Washington International Air we were welcomed with a second water canon salute.
thanks for the lesson!
That moment when you hear Joe mention your very own airport: SALT LAKE CITY!!
But we all know JFK better lol
isnt salt lake city in the state where all the mormons and guys with like 6 wifes are at
@@KaidenAT Regrettably... yes.
3:05 :O I was on that flight! From Amsterdam
Got4MinutesRB How do you know that was your flight?
I lived in Edmonton
Was not expecting my city to be mentioned. Really cool!
On my way to Vegas, the plane got a bath and it was pretty cool to watch from inside.
Can you make videos about Boeing 747 which YOU are piloting ?
Plzzz Joe plzzz.
Being reviewed at the moment :)

I remember on the news when I was little the last concord landings at Heathrow Airport they did the water salute for the retirement of the aircraft.
Felt Very happy that your sharing
