Trip Report (videos and photos slideshow), Vlog, POV recording, travel, planes, scenery, United states of America.
Part 1: -Window seat/left side/behind the wing POV, of early morning takeoff from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) in Phoenix, Arizona. Climb-out to the east, with a left turn to the northeast, ascent above a few clouds, flight attendant announcements after surpassing altitude of 10,000 feet. After sunrise, clear and sunny day.
-Awesome views of: Sky Harbor terminals & runway, Papago Park, Camelback Mountain, Scottsdale, 101 loop freeway, Northern Mesa, 202 loop freeway, downtown Phoenix & I-10 freeway in distance, South Mountain in distance, McDowell Mountain Park, Highway 87, Tonto National Forest, Interstate 17 freeway. Late summer, late monsoon season. Just before September 11th.
-Early morning flight up to Denver International Airport (DEN) in Denver, Colorado. To catch connecting flight to Orlando, Florida. Southwest Airlines, Boeing 737-700 aircraft. PHX to DEN to MCO. PHX-DEN-MCO.
-Part 1 of my long-time-coming return trip to Orlando, Fl and the east coast U.S.A. in general. I hadn't been to the east coast (NY) since 2011, hadn't been to Florida since 2008, hadn't been to Colorado since 2010.
Part 2: -Window seat/left side/behind the wing POV, of morning approach and landing into Denver International Airport (DEN). Landing in Denver, Colorado. We passed over the Rocky Mountains (duh), heading east and south of the airport, before turning left to the north, lining up with the runway. Downtown Denver to the west of us in the distance. Touchdown!
-Flight attendant "welcome" announcements. Very quick taxi to the gate. Cloudy and sunny day. Fresh air! Farmland!
-Awesome views of: Rocky Mountains range, Centennial, the entire Denver metropolitan area, Aurora, Buckley Air Force Base, E-470 freeway, Interstate 70 freeway. Late summer, late monsoon season. Just before September 11th.
-Early morning flight up to Denver International Airport (DEN) in Denver, Colorado. To catch connecting flight to Orlando, Florida. Southwest Airlines, Boeing 737-700 aircraft.
-Part 1 of my long-time-coming return trip to Orlando, Fl and the east coast U.S.A. in general. I hadn't been to the east coast (NY) since 2011, hadn't been to Florida since 2008, hadn't been to Colorado since 2010.
Part 3: Some footage and photos inside Denver airport's Southwest terminal. A single photo from window seat while parked at gate (DEN to MCO flight).
*Yes, sadly, there is an obvious void. I originally filmed the pushback, taxi to runway, takeoff from, & climb-out of Denver (direct east departure). I can't recall what happened, but those specific videos (video files) were totally lost. When the time came that I finally edited this trip report video, they couldn't be found anywhere (I searched, I tried). I didn't realize the files were missing before, and could swear they were transferred (copied) successfully with everything else. Either I was wrong and they were never actually copied, or were accidentally deleted at some point. I just don't know, it sucks. I was upset and pissed, but had to move forward. So this video continues (skips) to inflight footage. Ironically, if this was the complete trip report as intended, it'd be well over 2 hours. Making the insane upload time (over 15 hours as is) even longer. Slow internet speed in my apt!
Part 4: -Window seat/right side/behind the wing POV, of final approach/landing and touchdown at Orlando International Airport (MCO). Landing in Orlando, Florida. Touchdown! Flight attendant "welcome" announcements & taxi to the gate. A very cloudy yet sunny and warm evening.
-Awesome views of: Heavy yet beautiful scattered thunderclouds all around. Orlando Executive Airport, Downtown Orlando, Central Florida metropolitan area, Lake Conway, Roadways 527 & 528.
-A tropical kind of weather/climate with high humidity. Late summer, late monsoon season. Just before September 11th.
-Afternoon connecting flight from Denver, CO to Orlando, Florida. Southwest Airlines, Boeing 737-800 aircraft. A long day of travel. I originated from home in Phoenix, Arizona.
-Part 2 of my long-time-coming return trip to Orlando, Fl and the east coast U.S.A. in general. I hadn't been to the east coast (NY) since 2011, hadn't been to Florida since 2008, hadn't been to Colorado since 2010.
-I visited/stayed with family in Lakeside, Florida. Visited Tampa for very first time (at night). Long awaited/solo return visits to Universal Studios Florida & Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando.
