California about to fuel up this rental
0:11

0:13
with some gas because I am heading to
0:15
John Wayne Airport Orange County airport
0:18
and we'll be flying direct flight Delta
0:21

0:25
leaving California
0:27
heading
0:29
into the sky to Detroit Michigan been a
0:32
while since I've been to Detroit I will
0:34
be there for a series of days seeing
0:37
some things enjoying some Michigan
0:41
stuff
0:43
I'm inviting you to join me
0:46
as I take to the skies after I get some
0:49
gases frowned upon
0:51
return a rental car without any fuel in
0:54
look at that look at this right here
0:56
this is how close I am to the airport
0:59
you always want to return a rental car
1:02
full of gas or they will charge you more
1:05
than the fuel is
1:07
join me
1:14
for a flight video
1:14
window seat and I think there's a meal
1:16
today curious to see what kind of meal
1:19
they're going to serve on Delta Airlines
1:21
next to the window
1:24
shall you self pumping gas nozzle
1:27
traffic going by planes going overhead
1:35
price of fuel here in Orange County five
1:36
dollars 29 cents a gallon
1:38
one thing I love about this Airport
1:39
rental car return
1:42
is in the airport catacombs
1:47
do not have to take a shuttle off site
1:50
to go to and fro you just head down to
1:53
the basement into the nether regions of
1:56
John Wayne well that doesn't sound right
1:58
but into the airport itself
2:00
or the parking area is and they have all
2:02
the rental car returns right down here
2:04
and you walk a couple hundred yards
2:06
into the airport proper to your gate
2:26
the catacombs
2:26
try to check this blue elevator up to
2:28
the third floor to my gate
2:32
departure level
2:34
car rental zero
2:36
arrival level public parking lot and
2:39
three departure level
2:50
I like I don't like these machines ask
2:50
how much I weigh wait I don't want to
2:53
tell you
2:54
when I get home I'll weigh myself
2:57
I am looking forward to when I finally
2:59
get home which I'm not heading home now
3:00
I'm headed to Detroit once I get back to
3:03
Celebration I'm gonna get on the scale
3:05
see how much weight I've lost I've been
3:06
doing pretty good on the treadmill
3:22
this is an upper view here you see the
3:22
Duke right down there behind the flag
3:23
well you can see his legs and his his
3:25
boots
3:26
showed this when I arrived
3:30
and now I'm leaving
3:32
there's a pilot right there
3:35
maybe that's my pilot
3:37
so you can see the back side not the
3:41
back side of water but the back side of
3:43
the Duke is right there the general line
3:46
I'm not a general
3:48
but I can go in this line it's only
3:50
about 20 people deep
3:52
22 people deep not too many people
3:56
in the line so it should be smooth
3:57
sailing take a look at this there's a
3:59
little hang glider over here
4:05
yeah look at this there's like
4:05
nobody here quick and easy had to take
4:07
my belt off obviously I take my laptop
4:09
out of the bag which I always keep them
4:11
a backpack right there take my shoes off
4:14
but relatively quick is like kind of
4:16
maybe no more than five minutes
4:19
love it
4:21
I always gotta take the laptop out there
4:24
was one airport recently in the last
4:25
couple weeks I can't remember which
4:26
airport it was I didn't take my shoes
4:27
off and you'll see the one plane going
4:30
behind gate four I am in Gate two I
4:32
think the plane that's going behind gate
4:34
four is pulling into gate two I think
4:35
that is my plane arriving and gonna
4:38
de-board and then clean it up and then
4:40
the we're all gonna get on the plane and
4:42
go to Detroit and I am incorrect that is
4:46
gate number
4:47
three so I'll take a look at gate three
4:50
and then I'll walk over to my gate which
4:51
is gate number two
5:10
and take a look there's some airports
5:10
don't sell gum but Orange County sells
5:12
gum I need to get some for the flight I
5:14
chew it on the chew it when I'm taking
5:16
off and Landing so I'm gonna get some uh
5:18
some spearmint Trident right here a
5:21
little gift shop I don't know what the
5:23
basis on why some airports don't sell
5:25
gum and some airports do but California
5:27
at least OC John Wayne I guess John
5:31
Wayne like maybe John Wayne like
5:33
probably he strikes me as a chewing gum
5:36
kind of guy
5:37
or maybe chewing tobacco I don't know
5:39
did you chewy tobacco or maybe both
5:41
maybe hit a tobacco first so I don't put
5:43
words in his mouth or put tobacco in his
5:45
mouth but
5:46
no John Wayne probably maybe maybe did
5:48
both
5:50
I don't know what Brandy wouldn't shoot
5:52
though you see the reflection of the
5:54
airplanes over there or some artwork
5:55
here this is called late afternoon 1990
6:00
is the name of
6:01
what's the name of this one just wait
6:03
for my plane to arrive looking at the
6:05
artwork
6:06
right here on just basically it's just
6:08
this one gate area
6:10
two is the one at the other end and it
6:12
goes all the way down that way pretty
6:14
easy to find your way around here
6:17
mine still hasn't showed up the gate two
6:20
still empty at least the walkway out of
6:22
the gang way out
6:23
so I'll just stare at number three here
6:25
looks like
6:26
number four over there they got the sky
6:29
chefs and I believe it's gonna be like a
6:31
four hour flight and usually if a
6:33
flight's over two and a half hours three
6:35
hours somewhere in that area they will
6:37
serve a meal in first class so I got the
6:40
window seat they should be getting a
6:42
meal curious to see what they got food
6:43
wise ah perfect timing in fact there is
6:47
gate two there so this is the plane I'm
6:50
gonna be on arriving about half hour
6:52
before boarding begins and about an hour
6:55
before takeoff these are they board
6:56
about 30 to 35 40 minutes beforehand so
7:00
I'm getting this pulling into
7:02
the station you could hear the Roar of
7:05
the engines that self-propels in
7:08
no taxiing mechanism needed on the pull
7:11
in but when it backs up they usually
7:12
have the
7:14
taxi push back
7:16
Tugboat looking thing
7:19
this is my flight right here
7:21
gate two
7:27
I think I'm
7:27
C3 3D Maybe
7:31
getting confused with other flights but
7:33
I've been 3D before maybe I'll be 3D
7:34
again they don't give you any glasses or
7:36
no 3D glasses when you sit in 3D
7:39
be pretty neat if they did the 3D flight
7:42
oh look here comes these Sky chefs now I
7:47
wonder what kind of delicates Delicacies
7:49
for my taste buds they will have look at
7:51
this helicopter up here
7:56
so those I wonder why I choose the words
7:58
in the dialogue with the Cadence
8:01
I don't know what's wrong with me
8:08
they were cones okay I just double
8:08
checked and I am in fact in 3D
8:19
see how they uh well the pilots are
8:19
putting up the little one
8:25
the little windshield Sun Blockers there
8:25
just to keep the Sun and keep it cool in
8:27
the cockpit there
8:31
beehive of activity down there
8:34
so take a look
8:36
here's the little tugboat
8:39
oh they're not tug bug but the little
8:40
tug nut
8:41
back there and they've already got the
8:44
yellow Beam on there preparing for
8:46
pushback already and the plane hasn't
8:48
even deborted yet
8:58
so fascinating plane flight the fact
8:58
that you can go from point A to point B
9:00
all the way across the country in a
9:01
matter of hours just incredible
9:09
connecting it up
9:09
all right here's a view of it from the
9:12
side window and you got the freeway over
9:14
there in the distance Santa Ana off in
9:17
the distance over that way as well so
9:19
this is the this skate number two is the
9:21
farthest gate all the way down at the
9:24
end of the Air Force the first one all
9:26
right looking at the temperature in this
9:27
neck of the woods about the board also
9:30
Anaheim which is just up there over
9:32
America like a couple minutes a couple
9:34
minutes just north of the airport
9:37
78 degrees where I'm heading 85 degrees
9:41
this is interesting there's an air
9:43
quality issue
9:45
doesn't look like it's gonna be too bad
9:47
there though not like not like it's
9:48
Florida hot this guy's taking my way too
9:51
much 3D
9:54
seat D Row three
10:29
the first half the fight should be uh
10:29
pretty smooth once you get over close to
10:31
the Rockies though
10:40
yeah it's gonna get bumpy Over the
10:40
Rockies
10:42
uh
10:51
fish on the west southwest
10:51
uh 10 miles visibility a few clouds at 4
10:54
000 scattered twenty five thousand
10:56
temperatures
11:53
oh there's the Orange County Fair down
11:53
there oh look there's the fairgrounds
12:15
area down here between the mountains and
12:15
the valley kind of reminds me of an area
12:18
that a lot of movies were filmed on like
12:20
Lethal Weapon and a few other ones could
12:23
be the same one
13:46
the option that they had was a
13:46
cheeseburger
13:48
they did have some salads with it so
13:50
they only had four salads and people
13:52
that ordered
13:54
course how the grilled chicken salad so
13:58
I asked what else they have they said
13:59
all they have is a cheeseburger that's
14:01
what I got a cheeseburger
14:12
it looks pretty good though it also
14:12
comes with a triple chocolate chunk
14:14
cookie and
14:53
hot
15:40
Canyons down there
16:01
you want some more snacks through too
16:01
take a look at these
16:42
thank you
18:02
play over Chicago
18:42
five minutes we'll be coming to the
18:44
cabin shortly if you find anything you
18:45
like to discuss
21:53
as far as I can as far as I can recall I
21:53
have never
21:55
flown in or out of Detroit first time
22:00
unless my memory is slipping but I don't
22:02
think I have
22:59
yeah I've never been in here before
22:59
first time in the Detroit Airport
23:03
nice some stores in the airport have
23:05
merchandise of the cities they're in
23:08
that are called something else but this
23:10
store is actually called Detroit that's
23:14
the name of the store Troy then there's
23:18
DTW he said
23:27
Detroit Michigan established 1806 the
23:27
t-shirts
23:29
one city to another look at the size of
23:32
this gumball machine
23:34
over here
23:36
well she was talking to me
23:43
yes two for a dollar 50 cents you get a
23:43
big gumball
23:47
that's one of the workers where the
23:47
rental cars wasn't he instructed me to
23:48
pass the gumball machine and just keep
23:50
walking this way well that's a big
23:51
ceiling in here look at this
24:02
the U.S flag down here at the end
24:02
this is nice like I feel like I'm
24:04
walking through a mall
24:06
a lot of airports I like that now
24:10
big shopping centers you're welcome
24:19
all right this is the bridge to parking
24:19
and also the bridge to ground
24:21
transportation
24:24
you look over here this must be where
24:26
the pickup area is
24:27
quite a few cars down there all very
24:31
congested
24:33
lurking in the shadows
25:04
I was probably going to take off before
25:04
I get to him that's the shuttle bus over
25:05
to the park unlike John Wayne this one
25:08
you gotta take a bus like most airports
25:11
you gotta take a bus over to the park
25:14
I got my rolling luggage put away I got
25:17
my backpack with me
25:50
let's see the control tower way way over
25:51
there
25:51
it's a nice little ride over here
26:03
yeah definitely don't want to walk out
26:03
glad they had a shuttle
26:05
they were cones
26:13
rental car time I have now acquired a
26:13
rental car take a look at these
26:15
interesting blue Bridges here

26:28
evenings
26:36
give or take a day be here for a few
26:36
little bit of a time difference too it's
26:37
already almost 9 00 P.M
26:40

26:43
heading back east
26:45
from where I was in California
26:52
I'll be in Detroit for a little series
26:52
of days
26:54

26:55
kind of late I'm gonna turn in for the
26:58
eve and then start off tomorrow
27:00

I can't even tell you the last time I
27:30
was even in Detroit

27:35
years ago that might have been the last
27:36
time I was in Detroit proper
