Champion Air 727 Video, and Mystery 747

[PhilDernerJr]

I took this video over 6 years ago. Watch its roll...there's a white 747 with a unique tail in line. Anyone know who?



Listen to the voice in the beginning as well. I don't know who was with me! Anyone have an idea?

Nippon Cargo? I know one of their fleet wound up with Southern. Maybe in the state of a partial repaint?

Hey Phil, here's your mystery 747. Probably taken around the same time you shot that clip..

You're right, Omar! Art was almost definitely with me that day! That's doesn't account fo the British accnet I think I hear in the clip, but that photo was taken minutes after.

Speaking of, here's a shot taken during my clip:

Nifty. Never knew Cargo Air Lines had a house livery. I've only ever seen them in the cloud camo scheme.

Is that the day NYPD picked you all up Phil? Art refused to go in the Paddy wagon and drove himself. PM him Phil, he would know who that is. Could be Andy Martin maybe?

[PhilDernerJr]

Good call, it just might have been Andy!

I don't think that was the NYPD day....pretty sure it was sunny that day. This was filmed in the morning, and I the NYPD thing was int he afternoon....it my memory serves me correctly.

that was probably 696,or 293 great ships, the take off run was long because we were loaded to the brim with jet a and peeps,heading for either Cancun,or Punta Cana. it could have been me in the cockpit,that year,'03 based at JFK,was one of the highlights of my career,great flying,and a I had a crashpad 10 minutes from my old neighborhood, it was all good.
