@@nathanw9770 Was in Tampa a few years ago on a family trip - on my way home, I got to watch a FedEx MD-11 taxi by the terminal. Felt a sense of nostalgia for the tri-jets (despite there being one right in front of me, haha) - and got some pics too. :D
I worked as an Air Traffic Controller at MCO from 1988-2002, then at TPA 2002-07 when I retired…Even as busy as it was, we had a lot of fun Pushin Tin!!…
Not only the nose: the muzzle is the same for the three airplanes, and the fuselage itself is common too, in different lengths naturally: after the success of the 707, Boeing decided to produce jets for medium and short range, and to save time, it decided to use the same fuselage of the 707. Douglas made the same, it built the Dc9 starting from the muzzle and fuselage of the Dc8.
AMAZING!!! Look at all those wide bodies!!! Aviation in the U.S. is so boring today! Nothing but narrow bodies 737s and A320s! Notice how little presence Southwest had back then!
This is great. I was born in 93 but remember this like it was yesterday the Tampa part at least. I miss the NWA 727s so much. Even up until 99 a lot of these aircraft were still flying.
I miss when half of all the engines at a given airport were JT8Ds. True story, when I was a tiny kid, I used to watch 727s, thinking the center engine was actually on top of the fuselage, IN the "S" duct, and it was somehow like magic, or mysterious added thrust with no outlet. Same with the L-1011. As an aviation lover since old enough to walk, it really was akin to an amazing riddle to solve. Haha!
Amen to that, my wife started with hem in 86, I knew everybody. They should have either stood alone or merged with Alaska, Frontier or JetBlue. US Air was just awful. I've flown LTU, Midway, TWA, Kiwi, and a dozen more of the great carriers seen here that are now gone. I didn't care for Air Trans or Spirit, but there are a lot of good ones here. The Battleborn Nevada paint job was pretty nice.
"memories" that is the right word , all the Boeing 737-200 , 727-200 , Tristars, DC-10 all are disapeared, the same for some airline companies Laker, Sobelair , TWA, ...
i remember flying out of tampa when i was younger and looking back and seeing all the airlines and variety of aircraft that used to fly into and out of tampa it makes me wonder what happend to some of them. airline travel will never be what it was
When I lived in Clearwater, Florida I drive across the causeway to Tampa & watch the planes from the parking garage & take pictures too, I'd sometimes go to the gate area to watch planes & the ramp people work around the planes. This was between 1988 & until I left Florida in 1994. About a third of these airlines didn't fly there at the time I lived in Florida, only American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Continental Airlines, United Airlines, USAir, Piedmont (before merging with USAIR), former Eastern Airlines & United Airlines. I even walked through the empty Eastern Airlines gate area since trams were still going back & fourth between the ticketing/main terminal to the gate area. I wish I had my camera at the time to take pictures. Anyhow great memories.
I'll never forget how my love for aviation started, when I was young and got on an L-1011 flying to MCO... Wanna say it was northwest but can't quite remember.
Air travel was different before September 11 2001, more people were willing to fly. A lot of those airlines went bankrupt because of September 11. The rest that didn't either turned into codeshare airlines or if they didn't they went bankrupt, or merged with other airlines due to the rising cost of fuel.

Were there any 747s or other jumbo jets at TPA in the late 90s? I'm curious because there have been some there in the past and there are 747 diversions from time to time.
SO many trijets. America has always been behind the curve. By the 1990s the only commercial trijet in active service in Australia was the 727. We'd already transitioned to 737s predominately with a mix of 767s and 747s flying long haul domestic between Sydney and Perth. Then the 717 found favor with some regional airlines and Qantas.
Orlando Airport TSA is the worst airport I’ve been to out of 50 airports. Every time I go through them, the TSA spends more time flirting and touching each other than doing their job!
Where are the 737 Classics (-300/-400/-500)? Surely they were around in 1997. I don't know, now don't call me Shirley. XD No, seriously. Where are the 737 Classics?

This kinda video is a reminder of just how many airlines came and went.
John Iii indeed
I miss the Trijets! I wish the were still around in passenger form. I was lucky enough to get them all except for the MD-11. Beautiful planes.

what a nice video 1998 thru 2003 was a huge aircraft transition period all olds out and in with the new
Ahh Tampa in 1997. Such a great memory to watch!
I worked as an Air Traffic Controller at MCO from 1988-2002, then at TPA 2002-07 when I retired…Even as busy as it was, we had a lot of fun Pushin Tin!!…
I just realized that the 707, 727, and 737 have the same nose design.
Lol. How did you not notice that before?
@@CPS747-8 I don't know

those 737-200 used to dominate
they have been replaced by newer 737s and planes made by embraer and bombardier
Another great video from you... awesome job JustPlanes!
JT8D everywhere
Love these old videos!
This was so much fun to watch and reminisce -- the good ol' days.
This was the golden age of jet airliners when diversity of aircraft designs was at its greatest...
Happy birthday md80
Calidonian Airways DC-10 @ 1:43 memories :) !!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh how I wish we could turn back the clock to those glorious days.

This is great. I was born in 93 but remember this like it was yesterday the Tampa part at least. I miss the NWA 727s so much. Even up until 99 a lot of these aircraft were still flying.
Lots of Fokker 100. And happy to see two of most important flyght companies in Brazil, TransBrasil (already broken) and Varig. Thanks for the video!
Awesome video, it has all of my thumbs up (which is one)

AIRTRAN IN THOSE COLORS :D
It's so beautiful, I wished they would've used it for the 717s.
Damn, I miss America West. Used to fly them all the time.

Oh God, LACSA at 4:32, the best costarrican airline ever..!!! Lineas Aereas Costarricenses S.A.
Where is Aviateca from, and why it has USA registration N...... ?
AVIATECA was from Guatemala and I don't why with N registration varigdc10
Leonardo Corrales
I miss the days where there were so many more operators in the air.
Itd be nice if you had footage in Orlando back when Florida Express was flying their BAC One Elevens.
I bet the spotters there miss the UK charters and others
Oh my God. LACSA from Costa Rica! Tears are pouring out of my eyes.
I live in Clearwater wich is aprox. 30. Min away from TPA I visit there often. :)

Sure miss the 727's and 737-200, does anyone know when the 757's are going to be phased out of service in the U.S.?
What is this? No A320s? It’s a dream come true!

Back in the time when there was diversity and also some paint on the aircrafts.Wonderful vid.
A blast from the past.
beautiful.......... :0
Transbrasil and VARIG! Nice!
3:53 🥝
Most of those airlines don't live anymore.
Airlines are like our lives, they never last forever, there is a beginning and end to everything, sad to say.
Oh wow I miss KIWI what an a awesome airline flew on them with family on the EWR to MCO route and back that's one airline I miss and the 727s
oh, air tran, the memories....
I have a air tran 737 model that has battery still after like 8 years
also I flew with monarch for the first time I was 2 years old in 1999 when I flew with that airline to florida
02:56 - lovely TransBrasil! Miss you, guys....
Love the trijets and the primitive 737s!
Oh poor AirTran 💚
I can tell which clips are at TPA, but where does it change to MCO? Is it around the middle of the video?
None of those planes are flying today! Except for maybe the 757. Sad! Planes are so generic today!
I counted 55 Airlines, how did they fill that many aircraft back then, or didn't they ?

Nice video!!!
Delta had the oldest fleet.....
why did ATC stop using position and hold?
To match the rest of the world which already used the term "Line up and wait".
First flight I’ve ever been on was Air Tran.. 2-4 years before there shutdown
I went to orlando for the first time it was 1998 with air 2000 as first choice which came to Sanford Florida and I was a year old baby
Rich International! Memories...

Orlando Airport TSA is the worst airport I’ve been to out of 50 airports. Every time I go through them, the TSA spends more time flirting and touching each other than doing their job!
767 da trans Brasil !!
Where are the 737 Classics (-300/-400/-500)? Surely they were around in 1997.
I don't know, now don't call me Shirley.
XD
No, seriously. Where are the 737 Classics?
Wow how many of those brands are no longer around today… Which is kind of sad
ORLANDO TAMPA MEMORIAS AVIONES EN LINIA OLANDA CASTEL

الخطوط السعودية كان عندها رحلات دايركت لفلوريدا !! الله يسامح من كان السبب وخلاها توقف .. تعبنا من التطرف والارهاب والضحية المسلمين نفسهم
Damn those 727s and md 11s are so ugly
Obviously you have no taste in beauty !!
ZOMb2010 just because you think those planes look good doesn't mean the whole world thinks the same
jayz4evr actually the whole world thinks the same, you're just the odd man out.
so you must think falcon 50s and 900s are ugly too?
