    I wish Austin had a upper outdoor viewing area for watching planes like other cities.

    I bet by 2040, Austin will serve more international cities, such as Paris, Toronto, Frankfurt, and a couple of Asian cities like Tokyo and Seoul.

    0:58 97? I remember ABIA opened for passengers in 1999. Unless he’s talking about the freight ramp - which opened first.

      EXACTLY!! After all, Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport closed down/shut down forever on the night of July 6-7, 1998, and was immediately replaced by Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok International Airport on its own island 🏝️ entirely made out of reclaimed land near the city, and Austin Robert Mueller Municipal Airport had the same fate as Hong Kong Kai Tak 10 months later on the night of May 22-23, 1999, and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) immediately took its place, just as Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok International Airport replaced Kai Tak Airport.
      When the reporter incorrectly stated 1997, I was like, wait a minute, that’s NOT true! That 1997 claim is WRONG! Because Austin Robert Mueller Airport was preceded in closure by its Chinese counterpart- Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport- in 1998, and then Robert Mueller Airport followed Kai Tak Airport in 1999- a mere 10 months after the famous Kai Tak Airport’s closure.
      Austin Robert Mueller Municipal Airport was preceded in closure by Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport in 1998.
      In turn, both Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport (closed in 1998) and Austin Robert Mueller Airport (closed in 1999) were both preceded in permanent closure by Denver’s Stapleton International Airport in the U.S. State of Colorado in 1995.

    Why is the new terminal right next to the taxi ways, and not on the south side of the taxi ways? And why make a bridge that would give planes height restrictions (that would be a very tall bridge) and build a tunnel instead?

    1:03-1:04 Ahh, an American Airlines Boeing 727-200 parked at the gate in the rotunda terminal of Austin’s soon-to-be Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport (that’s Austin-Mueller Municipal Airport!), as a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-200 taxies past the AA B727 for 🛫 at Runway 13R, with my beloved Austin Aero in the background! ❤❤❤❤❤️
    RIP 🪦 Robert Mueller Municipal Airport of Austin, Texas 1930-1999

    We have Military Cargo Transports landing at the airport ? That was a C-17 they showed on the runway.

    • @OliversElevators
      @OliversElevators Před 3 lety

      Yeah, ABIA was built at the site of the old Bergstrom military base, so there’s still a lot of military action that goes on there. One of the runways is very long, so it can accommodate large military planes.

      1:12 It’s probably there because of Mabry. Idk why the army and Air Force just reroute those planes to San Antonio or Killeen.

    After all, BOTH Hong Kong and Austin had their original main airports designed in 1925 and 1930, respectively. Both cities’ airports underwent massive upgrades and updates over the years and decades that followed- all the way up to their final years of service, 1997 and the first half of 1998 (Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport), and 1998 and the first four-and-a-half months of 1999 (Austin Robert Mueller Airport), serving their cities and communities well throughout all those years and decades. Finally, LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, both cities eventually grew in size and population, outgrowing their airports significantly, to the point of leaving no more room for their airports to expand and grow and neighborhoods and business districts increasingly encroaching onto airport premises, leading to both cities permanently closing their airports down close to the end of the 20th Century and immediately replacing their old airports with newer, larger airports. The larger, newer, more-modern powerhouse airports Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok International Airport and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport immediately opened and replaced Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport and Austin’s Robert Mueller Airport, respectively, upon the closures of their respective predecessors.
    Therefore, I will say it again: Wouldn’t it be AWESOME 🤩 if there were a nonstop flight or nonstop flights between Austin and Hong Kong???
