George Bush Airport Houston

Looks like your typical Continental Airlines Boeing 737-500 landing at Houston Intercontinental, BUT it appears we were too high and had to do a go around!!! First time I had to experience that on Continental Airlines. The captain speaks towards the end of the video about the go around. The very next day I had an aborted take-off on a Continental Express Chautauqua flight.

Los Angeles LAX is the fourth busiest airport (2009) in the world by by traffic movements and a major gateway to Asia, Hawaii, and the South Pacific. Many major U.S. airlines, such as American, Continental, United, and Alaska, use LAX as a hub.

Three major traffic routes are visible in the animation. The southern corridor consists of flights to Phoenix, Dallas, Houston and Florida.

The middle corridor runs from Denver to Chicago and on to the northeast. The Pacific coast corridor connects LA to San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.

Compared to other airports, LAX remains busy throughout the night.

The maps from the electronic atlas are animations depicting flight traffic over North America. All animations depict traffic over a 24-hour period as a time-lapse and were captured during the period of March 2003 to September of 2007.

Over 70 individual animations are included on the DVD that can be played at different speeds.

The DVD is accompanied by a 44-page booklet that explains the North American air traffic control system, Aircraft Situational Display to Industry (ASDI), flight mapping, and air traffic patterns.

A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700 lands in Baltimore after a flight from Boston. This flight, as usual for BOS-BWI flights, was scheduled at just about an hour, but flight time that afternoon was 1:47 because of a reroute via Richmond due to thunderstorms. Still, the weather was nice in Baltimore, and the video starts over Annapolis with a view of the United States Naval Academy and Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. On landing, AirTran’s Baltimore Raven’s logojet can be seen taxiing by.

STS-118 was a space shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) flown by Space Shuttle Endeavour. STS-118 successfully lifted off on August 8, 2007 from launch pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida and landed at the Shuttle Landing Facility at KSC on August 21, 2007.
It was the first flight of Endeavour since the STS-113 mission in November 2002, which was the last successful Space Shuttle flight before the loss of Space Shuttle Columbia on STS-107. STS-118 pilot Charles Hobaugh had been the entry team CAPCOM for STS-107. Had the Columbia not disintegrated, it would have been chosen for this mission, which would have been its 29th mission, and probably its only mission to the ISS.
The mission is also referred to as ISS-13A.1 by the ISS program. The mission added two more components to the International Space Station as well as bringing supplies for its crew. The completion of the mission left twelve flights remaining in the Space Shuttle program until its end in 2010, excluding two as-yet-unconfirmed Contingency Logistic Flights.
During and after the mission, the media focused heavily on a small puncture in the heat shield, created by a piece of insulation foam that came off the external tank of Endeavour during liftoff. Foam impact was the cause of the destruction of Space Shuttle Columbia, but the extent of damage was very small in comparison and in a less critical area. KSC Launch Director Michael D. Leinbach mentioned in the post-flight press conference, that upon initial inspection on the ground “Endeavour appears to be the ‘cleanest’ post-flight orbiter since Return to Flight”. On August 31, 2007, NASA reported that the damaged tiles had been removed in the Orbiter Processing Facility, and engineers had found no evidence of heat-related damage to the orbiter structure beneath.

So I really thought I was about to die on this flight. Im usually a light sleeper and any little thing will wake me up. Well, I was passed the F*** out on this flight. Then all of a sudden I was sprung awake by this big bam!!!! I looked out the window and all I saw were clouds and I like oh sh*t we had a midair collision and Im about to die. I was all shaken up took a big breath everything was in slow motion then a bout a couple seconds later I was like wait Im still here and feels like we are on the ground. So I look out again and still saw clouds then looked more closely and was like AHHHHH we landed. I never seen it this foggy before and I cant believe I didnt hear the landing announcement, felt the decent, hear the gears or flaps. I was completely surprised we landed and it didnt help that when I looked out the window all I saw was clouds. When I went to sleep we were in the sky I looked out saw clouds so naturally thought we were still in the sky.

Anyways here we are on a Continental Express ERJ-145 taxing in the fog at Houston Intercontinental.
