These bizarre vehicles were once used instead of jet bridges to drive passengers directly on to their planes! Now, they are used to ferry passengers between the main terminal and the two satellite concourses at the airport

Definitely old school. But, yes very cool for avgeeks (like me) who enjoy all those live plane spotting channels like Big Jet TV. I first saw these giant vehicles on the movie, Airport 1975, which was filmed in part at Dulles, of course.

I haven't flown out of Dulles in well over 10 years, but I can't believe they are still using these ridiculous things. Thanks for the video.

I think it's cool, you get to see planes up close.

International arrivals have to ride on them still, but it’s now optional for departures with the underground train

My cousin's father in law fixed those mobile lounges in the 1960s. Got the VIP tour of IAD in 1968.
