As a retired airline pilot who has flown this approach, I found it very satisfying to watch and well done. I like the callout of the landmarks as well. Thanks for the memories.

We used to visit Washington every fall. The colors were so beautiful as we approached, pretty much the same flight path. We always had a beautiful Cadillac limousine waiting for us, and always asked for the same chauffeur. We’d check into our B&B, and run to the street to catch a cab to Hillwood for lunch and tour the estate. We’d end the afternoon having drinks at The Willard Hotel in the Round Robin Bar. The same bartender would always be arriving for her shift, and she always remembered us and our drink order. We sat at a table in the window relaxing until we had to dash back to change for dinner. We always picked whatever restaurant was new and well reviewed. Then we’d end the evening at J.R.’s. We miss those trips.

As a lifelong Washingtonian this was really nice to watch--thank you. FYI at 2:20 the buildings you point to are Sibley Memorial Hospital; the Aqueduct property is off to the side, on the other side of the water pool . The park at 5:08 is Gravelly Point and it's a great place to watch planes land/take off as they fly directly overhead.

I used to live on the top floor of a building in Rosslyn, and airliners used to fly 100 ft or so above the building at times. They couldn't make the jog towards Georgetown you made.

@Mike Lavelle "and the World dismissing him"... We love him here, he knows what needs to be done. He has to fight every step of the way though, It must be like trying to drive a car but the passengers are doing their best to dismantle it and throw the bits out of the windows on route. If your politics are screwed its because the Democrats are not Democrats anymore, they are neoliberals and Globalists. I am tired of seeing court case after court case over the most pathetic of matters with your whole media network pressurising anyone that ever ever knew Trump to dish some more dirt on him, and it doesn't matter how trivial or ridiculous it is, it can always be spiced up a bit before feeding to the masses eh?. Migrant caravan?????? what a load of crap! Nothing spontaneous about that, it was organised and funded to challenge Trump's proposed southern border controls.These people were used as pawns by wicked corporations, institutions and wealthy individuals. How easy it is to manipulate the audiences to this and every other theatre they create, how blind those audiences are to the facts that the ones that are ripping up the train tracks are the ones that are pointing the finger at the train driver. Millions of you are just sucking all the bullshit down but I suppose its no surprise, there are staggeringly wealthy Globalists corporations behind these campaigns against him, the psychology of marketing is what they have invested and depended on for decades. The simplest marketing ploy of all? Make it "love v hate" even if it has nothing to do with either. Wake up, drink some coffee, look around and think, maybe then you can recognise who are the real individuals, institutions and Corporations bringing your Country down to satisfy their own selfish agendas.

Now there's an interesting post due to the fact you gave me my B777 rating ride (FO) in 2009! At the 1/2-way point of the simulator session, you put it on freeze and said it's time for a break. My Captain partner and I kind of looked at each other a bit dazed. You said "well, great guys, you two are doing just great!". I looked at you and said "really? if that's the case I'd REALLY hate to be the guys who are not doing so well!" (We passed. I now laugh, but i can't forget you). I'm a new 737 Captain now, and making my first landing into DCA in just a few days. Thought i'd come to this great institution of learning, youtube, and figure out how it's done. Hope you're enjoying retirement.

@richardoconnor8984 4 жыл бұрын

Quite likely the best major city airport landing in the US. As someone who enjoys passing time at Gravelly Point -- the park that's a stone's throw from the runway -- I've often wondered about the altitude of the airplanes as they pass overhead (you can see the park in the video). One-hundred feet, according to the onboard computer. For this reason kite flying, baseball/softball are not permitted at the park. Rugby, however, is. I absolutely adore that park. Watching planes take off and land every 35 seconds on a regular weekday never gets old.

What a great video. Thanks. I stayed close to the airport and Gravely point a few years ago and just couldn't get my eyes of planes landing almost on the top of my head. I recommend it to anyone who likes this. I met a pilot at my hotel. Very friendly. He'd been to my country (Slovenia), loved the beer and girls :), so he was very willing to share with me a few details. This right turn just before the city really looks way more dramatic from the ground so I asked him about it and he said it was the last bit of fun in commercial flying. By the way to all who intend to visit DC. This area, Pentagon 2 if I remember correctly is a nice place to stay. Especially if you like to hike, jog or ride a bike. Right next to the Potomac is a trail that leads right into the city and passes near Pentagon and Arlington. I did it every morning with my wife. Hot, humid sometimes but glorious. It starts near the airport.

My uncle (dad's oldest brother) lived in Silver Spring for like 30 years and my parents and I decided to go there (he now lives in Las Cruces, NM). If i ever go back to D.C. in my life, I'd DEFINITELY go to Gravelly Point and watch the landings. Back to the landing, I'd like to try this on FSX or the new Microsoft Flight Simulator coming out some time this year. Was this an ILS approach?

Bob Hymel, USAF (Ret) was at work early, sitting at his ground floor desk in the Navy Department exactly where the terrorist airliner hit the building, killing him instantly.
