re: Lufthansa 747 passengers get a little surprise during landing attempt at LAX

I was thinking the same thing, do they record every landing?

I'm subscribed to them and a few other channels. It's no different than any other hobby.

Yeah I didn't know until recently out of the blue Youtube recommended a British guy that does it who's pretty entertaining and it reminded me of when my dad used to take me to the airport to watch planes when I was a kid.

Problem is that the Youtube algorithm is like an annoying girlfriend where I watch one plane video and now it starts spamming my recommended feed with them trying too hard please me.

The narrators have been doing this a while. Many of the pilots heading in and out of LAX watch their channel. Sometimes a pilot that landed yesterday will show up as a guest commentator the next day on his day off. The pilots also know where these guys are set up and will wave at them or signal with their lights as they’re taxiing down the runway.

I like watching the ones in FLL and MIA because they get a lot of traffic. You see some pretty cool stuff. There are a few air shows in the area that come through and you can see some awesome planes. Even saw a stream where the President was flying in. Pretty cool to see Air Force One fly in.
