Someone: "I am going to kill the president of the United States."
JPATS: "You've unlocked bonus miles!"

ryanair
Yeah but that’s not American is it?
United
Pure Competizione I think it’s American-owned even if they fly to places other than the US
Eric Xue ryaniar is european
During 9/11, JPATS was one of the only aircraft which were allowed to fly after the attacks.
I was going down the comments, looking to see if anyone brought that up.
That nice little place where you can do waterboarding at Guantanomo Bay isn't going to get filled up by itself now ain't it
"one of the only aircraft" bro do you even English???
@@kobesn1fan24 nothing wrong with that english at all, from an englishman.
@Jacob C. lol
Fun fact :
Leg room on JPATS planes are bigger than most budget airlines, it means prisoner have a better leg room than YOU ! yes YOU who fly with budget airlines.
Speaking from experience?
You are correct. I am 6'5" and have been a "passenger" on JPATS for 5 total flights. I was (even considering the waist chain, handcuffs, and shackles) more comfortable than I was on my 2001 flight on EVA Air to the Philippines. A JPATS flight is not something I would recommend, but it is not the horror show that CON-AIR made it out to be.
@@ubergeek1968 why have you been on 5 JPATS flights?
@@Wheagg touring the US, i assume
@@pu239 in PRISON?
An eleven day layover? It's like trying to fly on Spirit airlines.
buh'dump-SWISH!
@J ronnn /r whoooossshh
False, i chose spirit airlines because i needed a cheap plane ticket on very short notice. Apart from being very uncomfortable the trip was on time and that's what matters.
@J ronnn I take it you live in a forest and only breathe the purest air? Studies have already shown that a cell phone is dirtier than a public restroom, we do what we can to *reduce* not eliminate exposure, as it is impossible.
Bruh, Spirit airlines treat their passengers as prisoners
That sponsor transition was so smooth i didnt even notice it was an add until you said HAI.
Ikr it’s so smooth on most of them

I have a topic suggestion: How and why the worlds tallest buildings exist. From a financial, economical, and physical standpoint.
The world's tallest buildings exist because they are not all the same height. Someone HAS to be tallest, the shortest, and the averagest.
acoow lol that’s exactly what Sam would say
seems more like something for Wendover Productions rather than HAI
As for why: There's a reason why skyscrapers usually look like a giant d!@k. ;)
It's a city notoriety and tourism promotion thing. Not much to do with actual need for office space slash residential demand. The Burj Dubai has a large amount of vacancies. The World Trade Center, rest in peace, had a large amount of vacancies.
Planes: *exist*
Half as interesting: write that down
I like planes
They do this so the prisoners cant dig straight down

Alien? Is this the planes they use to fly aliens from New Mexico to Area 51?
The FBI would like to know your location
No, that would be JANET out of Las Vegas, I think he has a video about them already.
@@Fitch93 We all know HAI is secretly run my the government.
We'll find out soon enough when we storm the place.
Foreigners without legal documents or permit were considered as alien right?
"It's sort of like connecting through Newark Airport." Sheer brilliance.
Agreed. I have had to connect through Newark a handful of times and it's been less than fun every time
Any excuse to dunk on Newark.
Prisoners need a vacation too sometimes, which is why they made this airline in the first place. Prisoners can now visit other prisons whenever they like.
don't be silly. that would make sense
Crazy you did a video on this. We had a JPATS plane come through the airport I work at last month. We just had to fuel it. You were completely right about the grumpiest flight attendants ever. They made sure we were moving fast, not looking around the plane or bothering anyone on it. They got refuelled and left within 45 mintues.
guaranteed they assigned a dude to the flight instead of the fuel bunny who wears shorts and rolls up her sleeves *rrrrrrraaaarrrr*. nothing personal lol. i miss the ramp
it's almost as though you suggest our government is wasting money - they never dare
Pp
doesnt matter what do they use, they will always load more money to the final bill.

Can't we just ship them all to Australia like the good old days?
Or Georgia.
Side note: Georgia was initially a prisoner colony, just like Australia. Only difference is that Georgia is better than Australia because there is a lack of many venomous snakes, deadly birds, giant kick boxers with long tails,bears that are constantly high, dinosaurs, and Australians.

Prisoners must use Brilliant to escape JPATS and US Marshalls.
Don’t know. Never happened.
No, I heard one of them did it with Skillshare
This was a pretty good video, interesting info and it made me chuckle a couple times, but I was a bit frustrated that you used the part about Piper Kerman's "review" of the airline exclusively as a sponsor transition (though it was smooth). I wanted to hear a bit about what it's like from someone with first hand experience, and what she thought about it, you could've at least put in a one sentence quote from her :(. I especially loved the shot you took at the USA's prison industry and absurd fear of welfare at the beginning though!
0:32 Yeah, their people are morbidly thicc
R. Kelly truly wasn’t lying when he believed he could fly.
Ohh 😅😂😂🤣🤣
I remember in the Early 2000's the JPATS 727 would land, like clockwork, every Thursday between 11am and 1pm in Terre Haute. Was fun to see, especially since it was a 727-100 and there weren't too many of them flying in "Commercial" Service in the US.
1:27 alien transportation system
area 51 intensifies
Lmao I didn't notice that
It refers to immigrants. More often than not, the airline is used by ICE to transfer detained immigrants to Texas and drop them at the border, or fly them to the captial of countries that agree to let the US drop their citizens there directly (for countries that don't, they just drop the immigrant on a commercial flight).
i love 2019

Aviation-spotter we got our target.

Wendover Productions:Hippity Hoppity your idea is my property.
Well that also apply in his second channel, apparently.

The transition to the ad honestly floored me 😂 I didn't expect to see OITNB here
If you think 26 years old for a plane is ancient, come to Canada my friend :)
Here in the States, Kalitta Charters out of KYIP on Ypsilanti, MI is still flying a plane that carried the Beatles in the 1960s.
But then, Kalitta is a "small" charter airline...
@@kdarkwynde I'm aware, though I didn't know of that Beatles fact! Just today actually, a Kalitta Dassault Falcon 20 (built in 1967) arrived at my home airport. That is absolutely ancient for a private jet
I swear, I'm gonna die watching a HAI video about planes
Some say they make these planes disappear over the Bermuda Triangle
and in the U.K you get a ship ride for a few months to battle royale island now with killer flora and fauna expansion.
Since hollow points are designed to not go through the target, it would also hypothetically reduce the chances of the round going through the first target and hitting a second target. Awesome video, btw!
I used to work at a facility that housed federal inmates. The paperwork required to release an inmate to go on one of these airlifts was ridiculous. Also, it is US Marshal, not Marshall.
I hope you weren't a SHU guard at Victorville, I may have to hate you.
If you’re going to be pedantic, you need to also be accurate. There is one US Marshal per district. The rest are deputy or chief deputy US Marshals.
@@hometownmedic7355 All that I was pointing out is that there are not two L's, which I notice since Marshall is my last name. I wasn't going into rank or any other designation. Talk about being pedantic...
It's cool you put Oakdale, LA in there. We used to get JPATS flights on a weekly basis in Alexandria, LA. I used to have to load the plane with people. It was a really fun job.
You got me good. I was expecting you to talk about the conditions on the JPATS planes, but the vid ended.
They should put more prisons in the air, so that way if the criminals mess up they will crash and burn
Genius
Con Air is a great film man, what are you on about :D
That transition from video content to Audible advert was smooth asf

Topic: has something to do with airplanes
Wendover productions: ITS FREE REAL ESTATE
I’m sure their landings are probably better than Ryanair’s
Every HAI video - subtle jokes that only some will understand.
THIS VIDEO - Amazing material! Keep up, dude, keep up!
BLV (St. Louis) Airport is only like 15 minutes away from me. They most likely land at the connecting Airforce base (Scott Airforce Base). I will definitely look into it more because I’d like to see one land. Great video by the way!
They should replace those Boeing 737-400s with the 737 MAX.
Then call it 737 SuperMAX
It would only be fair if they were to fly only people that will get a death sentence.
Jason Dykstra it would be more comfortable though
If I were in prison I would gladly take a 737 MAX flight.
And the pilot??
In the transition at around 1:03 (and in some other parts of the video), you can see a very faint audible watermark.
Nice sense of humor, you make the whole thing really Fresh :)
PLEASE upload more.i watched all your hai videos and some o watched twice over.
Someone (not Sam) maintains a playlist and keeps it current and you can put them on shuffle, which makes the re-watches a lot more fun. I do it all the time when I'm cleaning the house.
For Sam, being in plane jail isn't a terrible punishment, but a great pleasure
This show is educational and hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing and I learn something too.
My dad is one of the air Marshall’s here in okc. Kinda of cool seeing a video of what he does
I did 10 years straight in federal prison. And had to ride on an airplane about 20 times and alot of long bus rides across country. They call that desiel fuel. It's a secret punishment they do to inmates. They will fly you around for weeks to months at a time non stop. Or drive from California to Georgia and back to California. It's really uncomfortable and you start loosing your mind.
Welcome onboard JPATS Flight 1786, flight time will be roughly 2 hours, 15 minutes, and flight will be landing at Fremont County Airport, where you'll get an exclusive ride to a fun destination! On behalf of the entire crew, relax and enjoy your flight.
0:40 Explained the Tay-K situation perfectly
At 0:57 Sam mentions a "cross company criminal road trip" which I will choose to believe inspired HAI's crime spree
A couple of corrections and additions: First, the Marshals are NOT armed while in flight, all firearms are stored in the baggage holds and the Marshals arm themselves before allowing any inmates to exit the craft.
Second, the flights are not segregated by sex or by affiliation, females (or trans) are seated in the front and males in the rear, with seats filled back to front. Gang rivals are separated only by seat distance (unless someone is heading to SuperMax (ADX) for gang-related offenses, which would usually mean a dedicated flight).
Third, some JPATS planes are 737's, but a few are MD-80's. ALL are piloted by US Navy personnel.
I know this because I have made five total JPATS flights, as a passenger.
One of the prisoners takes over and says "I am the captain now"
Dude I was getting kinda scared we haven’t had a plane video in a month.
Wow, I went to McNeese State which is in Lake Charles ... no idea JPATS came through there.
Hilarious as always. Keep up the good work!
3:05 The 737-400 is so old that it has beard on it lol.
Never fails to deliver great content!
I live in OKC and the JPATS 737s regularly fly over, always neat to see those older 737s
I love that Audible watermark though out the entire video. Nice one HAI
So for a country with no national airline... how many airlines does the US run?
Why don't we just kickstart a HAI Airline to satisfy him😂
You always come crawling back to the planes.
And I love it.
I've been on con air.....7 times. Flew from Oklahoma City, to Kansas City, Atlanta, Harrisburg, and Newberg. I got shipped around the BOP for a long time.
Wendover is back with another plane video! I just wonder, are we scraping the bottom of the barrel or are there more plane topics I am unaware of?
Dude this is HAI. Get your channels right man 😒
@Earth Titan no the more topics you go in to the more you can go deeper in to it.
I remembered when China Eastern's 777 was hired to return criminals from Spain... just 76 of them occupied the entire 777. I mean, how spacious will that be!
Great Person except it’s a Boeing, which means it would crash 🤔
Great Person that’s a boeing 777-300ER produces by Boeing company. Are you suggesting that Boeing is a Chinese company?
Aayush Ganesh good god you are good at memes
Loved all the references dropped throughout the video about past videos 👌
Your voice is like a halfway point between Real Life Lore and Wendover. (Awesome video btw)
*Nicolas Cage intensifies*
Lmao Emirates first class? This is the real deal for luxury.
I did some Federal Time in the 1990's, and during my various trial and conviction stages was transferred around on a plane that was some sort of 707 or 727 with "Florida Marlins" markings on it. I guess the Feds confiscated the team plane at some point in time and put it into undercover use. The pilot I saw a few times had some sort of club foot. The plane would always lose lots of altitude suddenly for no reason and then fly back up. Or, it was just a very ruff ride with constant turbulence. Not something you appreciate when you are handcuffed and shackled. The U.S. Marshalls were always pretty nice though.
I wonder what the cost of transferring one prisoner from X to Y is in this system, compared to commercial aviation. Not saying general aviation should be used, I’d just be curious.
I'd imagine that either way a big part of the cost is the marshals. If using dedicated planes allows for a lower marshalls to prisoners ratio it could well be more economic, even if the cost per seat mile of the planes themselves was higher.
Justice Prisoner and ALIEN Transportation system????
Can't be too many aviation topics left on the HIA list
Sam: hold my aircraft model ✈️
Thank you for not bombarding me with countless adds throughout the duration of all your videos.
What I look forward to most on these videos is how you manage to plug in the end of the video to the videos sponsor 😂
Didn't anybody notice, that ther is an audible watermark in the background the whole video?
Horst Huber woah. You’re right 😳
I can't find it
@ "Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System"
ALIEN? Does this plane also carry alien in and out of area 51?!? Storm JPATS, they can't stop all of us.
Nope, that's "aliens" as in undocumented immigrants. Besides "Con Air", JPATS' other nickname is "ICE Air".
JPATS would pick them up after JANET transferred them out.
I love and hate the fact you don't pad your videos I want ten minutes but also love how concise it is!
Imagine being hauled onto a prisoner aircraft and not knowing whether you're being taken to another state or straight to Gitmo.
