To be honest, when I received an email saying a frustrated passenger made a music video to let off some steam after an airline lost his bag, I was very close to deleting it. First off, this concept as been done and secondly — well — sometimes bags get lost and it is by no means is it a good thing, but surely not something to write a story on.
However, I am glad I took the time to click on the link and watch the video. Turns out the bag lost held quite a bit of video equipment worth good money. This meant that the passenger was out his stuff, but he still had the skills to make this classy music video.
Hopefully someday his bag will show up, but until then, enjoy the music.
Recently American Airlines declared bankruptcy. It was a move to try and save the airline, but it has left quite a few people unhappy. One group of folks decided to find some of the humor in a complex situation. Politics aside, this is a pretty well done and entertaining video worth sharing.
A little over a year ago, on March 20, 2011, the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental had her first flight. This video from Boeing highlights how the 747 has revolutionized long-haul flight and how they hope that the Intercontinental continues that tradition.
David Achilles, who is an award winning director and editor (not to mention an avgeek) completed a very impressive time lapse video of his recent flight from Denver (DEN) to Burbank (BUR) and back while on Southwest Airlines. Before you get angry at David for having an electronic equipment on during take off and landing — have no worries, he received permission from the Southwest flight crew.
This video has the same music and same concept, but quite a bit different set up. This one takes you inside a Cessna Grand Caravan with Wings of Alaska.
Wings of Alaska operates a small fleet of Cessna Grand Caravans and Cessna 207s in (can you guess it) Alaska.
The imagery is amazing and really makes me want to go flying up in Alaska.
