gate
2:48
d52 d52 oh check out the glass brick
2:51
work here you don't see that too often
2:52
like in an airport in a little entryway
2:55
see a lot of older buildings but rarely
2:57
see it on the entryway into
3:07
airport elevator to Gates this the right
3:07
Gates the DK
3:35
that's an interesting Set of Lights
3:35
right
3:40
there all right this is looking more
3:40
like an
3:42
airport Starbucks over there definitely
3:44
a beautiful Old
3:46
City wasn't in it for very long wasn't
3:49
here for a long time but it was Here for
3:51
a Good Time the best airport in North
3:54
America look at that that is a that's a
3:58
nice Title Here in in Milwaukee with the
4:01
Old Clock up top there which is kind of
4:04
neat look at that's that's a pretty bold
4:06
that's a pretty bold and
4:07
impressive achievement and take a look
4:10
at this how often do you see a bookstore
4:13
like this in an airport renaissance
4:16
renaissance
4:18
books which is a bookstore it's like new
4:21
books and used books inside a freaking
4:24
airport I don't know if I've ever seen
4:26
that
4:27
before if I have I don't definitely
4:29
don't call it here's all the different
4:31
airlines got United North Central
4:33
Transworld Capital
4:36
Northwest American West and there's the
4:39
one I'm flying American air today
4:42
American
4:44
Air did not expect to be walking through
4:46
a bookstore in an
4:58
airport probably the most
4:58
luggage travel it's bookstore in
5:01
existence I'm sure a lot of
5:08
people have their luggage walking
5:08
through here usually when you go to a
5:10
bookstore most people don't have
5:22
luggage interesting right look at this
5:22
Calvin and Hobbs oh that's cool what if
5:26
they have Far Side
5:37
Cliff oh heck yes Far Side Gallery
5:37
number five $7 not a bad deal little
5:41
Gary lson action this was this is well
5:43
was when I was very young but still
5:45
enjoy the humor of The Far Side heck
5:49
yeah I got a little something to read
5:51
you know before I get on the plane I
5:52
probably put it in my bag during the
5:53
plane maybe I can take I probably take
5:55
it on the plane and read it on the plane
5:56
I might get a little little seasickness
5:58
though by reading on a plane
6:00
icept I don't know if reading on a plane
6:01
is the same as like reading in a car
6:03
when I read in a car I get a headache
6:05
maybe I'll try it all right I have now
6:06
stepped into the Mitchell gallery of
6:08
Flight Museum big thanks to the guy at
6:11
the bookstore who said hey if you're
6:13
around there's some a couple other
6:15
unusual things in this airport check out
6:17
the Museum of Flight a few doors down
6:19
from the bookstore so I thanked him for
6:21
that and said I would definitely check
6:23
it out there is a Museum of Flight in
6:27
here as well which is really really
6:28
awesome I me sometimes you'll see like
6:30
little displays similar to something
6:32
like this in airports but you rarely
6:35
well not all I want to say rarely but
6:37
it's not every day you go to an airport
6:39
and see a fullon Museum of Flight and
6:43
here's General William Mitchell which I
6:45
believe the airport is named after I
6:47
believe that is the airport name is
6:50
named it's MK but I believe it's also
6:52
William Mitchell Airport I could be
6:55
wrong on that but I believe seeing
6:57
seeing the name there's his
6:59
musette bag M tte bag it's used when he
7:05
was second Lieutenant station in the
7:07
Philippines a couple old Airline chairs
7:18
there FF strike Captain FS FF
7:18
stripe airport landing oh wow an airport
7:21
landing register December 7th 1941 when
7:24
the Pearl Harbor they grounded all
7:26
flights except scheduled Airlines
7:28
airports and aircraft were affected
7:30
aircraft owners required to render the
7:31
aircraft inoperable not new use and
7:33
guarded civilian Pilots outside the V
7:36
vent
7:37
Zone were permitted to fly as long as
7:39
they designed protected airports
7:41
official Landing register or setup for
7:44
those flights so that's what this is
7:47
right there this is the official
7:48
register they had they had to jot down
7:51
all the different names of those who
7:53
were flying imagine if he still had to
7:55
do that in this day and age if he had a
7:57
written scribbl down book as opposed to
8:00
doing everything everything
8:09
online and looking at this gentleman
8:09
here kind of reminds me of the Guard
8:13
from Sha Shank Redemption he's been in a
8:15
lot of other stuff I think he was in a
8:17
few things recently too but doesn't he
8:19
kind of look like the guard from
8:22
Shashank I mean that was way before that
8:24
actor's time but kind of resembles him a
8:27
little oh wait was that Charles Lindberg
8:29
maybe that
8:30
was Charles
8:31
Lindberg Spirit of St Louis oh the
8:33
Spirit of St Louis is parked at the
8:35
Milwaukee County Airport today's General
8:37
Mitchell International Airport there's a
8:40
photo of it back in
8:43
1927 it was parked
8:45
here okay I'm going to assume that's who
8:47
that is even though it doesn't say it
8:50
looks like that's probably what that is
8:52
got the Milwaukee pinnet there in the
8:54
airport this is a nice little cute
8:56
little airport it's got a lot of good
8:58
stuff to do while you're waiting I
8:59
should probably go ahead and get through
9:02
the checkpoints though just to make sure
9:03
I'm not going to be late for my flight
9:05
cuz you never know how you know going
9:06
through going through security works out
9:09
and there he is General William Mitchell
9:11
there is a bust of his head right here
9:15
next to the elevator and when in the
9:18
city you're going to see a lot of Miller
9:20
stuff around as well not called Miller
9:24
Park anymore at the baseball stadium but
9:25
Miller still prominent around here
9:27
greatly all right so passing back past
9:29
the Mitchell gallery of flight the
9:30
bookstore and heading to my gate check
9:32
out the attitude of gratitude compliment
9:35
complimentary oh the compliment tree
9:38
compliment tree here at the Mike Side
9:42
Street Market which has a pretty good
9:44
little mural there on the side oh in
9:47
fact there is a brewery shop right here
9:51
I love this clock right here I got a
9:53
little time before I had need to get
9:54
into d52 but that's the time also I
9:57
heard about this and I'm glad I got to
10:00
see it with my own
10:07
eyes I think this is the only airport
10:07
that has one of these
10:10
areas
10:11
Reco how do you pronounce that
10:16
reculation area Recon population area
10:20
Recon population area it's the only
10:23
airport it has one of
10:25
these from what I heard
10:28
anyway awesome so nicest TSA agents ever
10:32
sometimes I get a really nice TSA
10:34
agent but this is like the most
10:39
nice TSA folk that I as far as a a
10:44
conglomerate group like all of them so
10:46
nice
10:47
here saying goodbye to
10:56
Milwaukee another lowkey
10:56

11:28
Brew merchandise and another clock it is
11:32

11:34
look at this little look at the seats
11:36
over here looking out on to the tarmac
11:38

11:40
that way I think that's a 51 through 56
11:43

11:44

11:45

12:10
there also the Milwaukee
12:13
airport has gum I always like to show
12:17
which airports sell gum and which
12:18
airports don't a lot of them don't some
12:21
of them do all right we went with the
12:22
small the smallest portion of piping hot
12:24
caffeinated beverag just cuz we would be
12:26
getting on a plane I would have to keep
12:27
jumping up and down to go to the
12:29
facilities got a Pikes Place with a
12:31
little tiny bit of cream and sugar
12:33
little Pikes Place drip coffee also it
12:36
was kind of nice the Starbucks here at
12:38
the dgates they weren't playing top 40
12:40
music they were playing like Smooth Jazz
12:43
it was like a smooth jazz Vibe looks
12:46
like it's going to be a very small
12:50
plane to DC for the first
12:53
leg the first section of this lay well
12:56
the first
13:00
the first flight I should say two
13:03
flights one
13:11
destination not a huge
13:11
plane in fact I think the seat I have is
13:14
not seated next to anyone it's just a
13:16
one seater on the one
13:18
side and then two seats on the other
13:21
side so I think my seat there isn't
13:23
anyone sitting next to me on the first
13:25
section the first flight to DC from DC
13:28
down probably be a lot bigger air air
13:30
line or bigger airplane I'm having
13:33
trouble talking this coffee hasn't
13:35
kicked in
13:54
yet door's going
13:54
down don't believe they're going to walk
13:56
out on the tarmac yep there goes the def
13:59
52 you hear
14:01
the the alarm Bell as that thing pulls
14:10
in gang way
14:11
there believe that's what that's
14:14
called it's like a little accordion
14:16
thing it's going to push itself up
14:17
against the be fun to walk out onto the
14:20
concrete though
14:44
and if there anything like it was when I
14:46
took this small plane into
14:48
Burbank I think my luggage my carry out
14:51
luggage the roll around one I'm probably
14:54
going to have to have like a subtle
14:56
check in and then pick it up at exit
15:04
this so funny looking how that thing
15:04
just like sers itself up against
15:15
this okay there is an option that I
15:17
could just have
15:19
it arrive at my final destination or CU
15:23
I think the next plane is going to be a
15:25
little larger plane I'll be able to put
15:27
it above my head so the small plane
15:29
I have opted to
15:32
valet I'm going to valet the heck out of
15:34
my bag which means I'm going to leave it
15:36
at the bottom and then once I leave it
15:38
at the bottom I'm going to pick it up a
15:40
little bit afterwards and I'm going to
15:41
use my Valley claim check and pick it up
15:44
and take it with me that way I'm not
15:47

25:44
I don't normally see especially from an
25:47
airport window like this group not group
25:51
seat 4f is what I'm sitting on this
25:53
plane 4f I always get the window seat I
25:56
would say 99 out of 100 times I will get
25:59
the window seat because I want to be
26:01
able to film out the window and see what
26:03
I'm flying over that's the best part of
26:05
flying
26:59
airplane all right well
26:59
close but
27:11
no got on got ready to take off and now
27:11
ready
27:18
boarding not
27:18
good
27:20
not not not
27:23
good not
27:25
good at all I've had experience in this
27:30
usually when that happens it's going to
27:32
be a long day this really might be a a
27:36
clincher on how often I end up taking
27:39
layovers I had this happen just the
27:41
other day and it did not end
27:44
well not that I have a choice sometimes
27:47
in doing layovers
27:49
but gosh why is it always on the
28:11
say very I'm crossing my fingers but
28:11
this is nothing but why would we have
28:13
got off the
28:14
plane just to Orlando we still have
28:18
maintenance on board we still waiting
28:19
for update we do not have make purch
28:22
time yet this remain on the boarding
28:24
area in main passengers to Orlando still
28:27
waai for maintenance to give us a
28:30
departure time so please remain on the
28:32
boarding
28:33
area please remain in the boarding area
28:36
maintenance has not given
28:38
them an estimated time of when it's
28:40
going to be fixed so they said remain in
28:42
the boarding area they could be good
28:44
news or maybe they just want you to stay
28:46
close so that they can alert you on bad
28:49
news kind of been saying it out here
28:51
probably about a half hour give or take
28:53
not too bad but see how the evening
28:56
progresses
29:00
and it still has the little tug
29:02
mechanism vehicle there for the push
29:04
back so they haven't dismounted
29:07
dismounted that yet and they haven't
29:08
started unloading the luggage
29:11
yet looks like they got the fuel thing
29:13
hooked up to it you're at
29:17
d42 the pilots are still in
29:27
there so the pilots haven't gotten out
29:27
of the cockp
29:34
at so those are all positives but not
29:34
necessarily meaning that this thing's
29:36
going to get off the ground
29:44
today usually when you get off of a
29:44
plane they make you get off of a plane
29:46
you don't really get back on for like a
29:48
long time if at
29:51
all all right the door's open passengers
29:53
traveling to 1763 service to Orlando
29:56
gate number D40 uh right is reporting
29:59
please come back to gate number
30:01
d42 passengers traveling to Orlando
30:03
reporing just 5 please come back to gate
30:10
number all right don't mind if I yeah
30:10
the other night same kind of thing
30:12
happened and it was a 6-h hour
30:15
delay and we had a switch completely
30:18
switch uh planes
30:20
so heck yeah we're taking off well
30:23
hopefully Wheels first small under the
30:26
seat in front of you those passengers SE
30:28
in the all
30:31
your I was looking up other flights to
30:34
Orlando
30:36
differentes the only thing I could find
30:38
to get there tonight would have been
30:41
down to Miami lay over there and then
30:43
Orlando up arriving at
30:45
midnight and I thought about flying to
30:48
Miami running a car driving up cuz I
30:50
really want to get back tonight so I'm
30:52
really glad this worked
30:54
out again haven't taken off yet but it
30:56
looks like it's going to
31:09
1763 service to Orlando and
31:09
um I will be right back to you I've got
31:11
my ground crew talking to me I can't
31:13
talk to both of you at one okay right
31:14
back to we do expect to push in
31:16
hopefully just about another 5 to 10
31:18
minutes we're waiting for maintenance to
31:20
finish up paper
31:22
work they did advise us to go ahead and
31:26
board the air aircraft however so that
31:28
uh usually is an indicator that they're
31:30
going to be within 15 minutes of
31:32
completing their
31:33
tasks so once we get the go ahead from
31:35
them we will be uh good for push back
31:37
and take off uh try to make up as much
31:39
time as we can on the way to Orlando do
31:42
expect a mostly smooth flight today
31:44
however seat belt sign is off it's going
31:45
to stay that way until I know it's safe
31:46
for to get up out of your seat please
31:48
don't get up until I have that seat belt
31:50
sign off it could be 20 to 30 minutes
31:52
maybe even a little more than that into
31:54
the flight before we have reach our
31:56
final Cru count have
32:06
insurance all right basically what the
32:06
captain was just saying they're still
32:08
doing maintenance but they feel as if
32:10
that once they start filling the
32:11
paperwork out they could leave within 10
32:13
or 15
32:15
minutes so I went ahead and reboarded
32:17
the plane and once the paperwork is
32:18
filled out we're going to have a push
32:20
back and take
32:27
off again see what happens not uh not
32:27
doing it job not doing what it was
32:29
supposed to do and they don't have
32:30
another part to use so they're going to
32:32
have to take this aircraft out of
32:33
service and look for a spe so we are
32:36
going to have to ask everyone to depl
32:38
the aircraft I'm very sorry I know it's
32:40
a big inconvenience and I had a way to
32:43
make it not be this way I
32:52
would all that coming a mile
32:52
away got to get off the plane
33:02
look the draw up the
33:02
draw I'm just curious you just St one
33:05
set of groundhog de all right customer
33:07
service line is very extensive probably
33:09
everyone on the plane I went and talk to
33:11
the customer service and the only
33:13
options is to go to Miami and then have
33:15
a layover from Miami back to Orlando but
33:17
then I'm taking a chance on a layover
33:18
there not happening so I have opted to
33:21
just waited it out they said if the
33:23
flight is still delayed if it gets
33:25
canceled they'll give me a hotel for the
33:27
night I don't want to stay in DC I have
33:29
things to do tomorrow in Orlando
33:31
but that's the only option there's also
33:34
one other option there was a 745 or 7:30
33:37
which is boarding you know another hour
33:39
from now I could have flown directly to
33:42
Tampa there was a seat on that there
33:44
were three seats on that which are
33:45
probably going to be booked up now
33:47
because that line was pretty long ran
33:48
over was the first one in line and I
33:51
opted away from that because I would
33:52
have had to take either an Uber from
33:55
Tampa to MCO or rent a car car and drive
33:59
all the way to Orlando International to
34:01
get my car so I'm just going to wait it
34:03
out I do have things to do in the
34:06
morning in
34:08
Orlando you know what just got to roll
34:10
with the
34:12
punches not going to stress too much
34:14
over it I'll stress a little bit over it
34:17
but it's all
34:23
good and now I'm kind of thinking worst
34:23
case scenario if I get stuck in DC the
34:27
things I was going to do when I got into
34:28
Orlando tomorrow I wouldn't be able to
34:30
make it in time so do I just stay in DC
34:33
a few
34:45
days
34:45
cruddy all right Pilots are getting off
34:48
that plane so that plane is definitely
34:51
100%
34:52
not and so my method is just to roll
34:55
with the punches now this is the line
34:57
there's every single person on the plane
34:59
is trying to
35:00
rebook now I might get
35:08
lucky and maybe they bring another plane
35:08
in long as I get to Orlando tonight if
35:10
not I'm staying in DC and if I don't get
35:12
back to Orlando tonight I'm staying in
35:14
DC for a little while all right while
35:16
I'm standing here I just hearing some
35:19
murmurings from one of the employees
35:21
lady came in and said that we're about
35:24
to board this one again everyone's over
35:26
in that other line rebooking flights and
35:28
they just said that they're about to
35:29
reboard this one oh my good
35:38
Lord all right this is
35:38
insane everyone's over there rebooking
35:40
their
35:42
flights and now they're being called
35:44
back over the Ste the flight
35:47
attendants and now we're going to board
35:49
here to that whole line of people over
35:52
there are booking other flights and now
35:55
for the third time we're about ready to
35:57
get on this air all right Pilots heading
36:00
back
36:01
in third times's a charm maybe
36:05
possibly the crew is going to double
36:07
check if everything is okay to work
36:10
we're going to give them about 15 to 20
36:12
minutes just to make sure that
36:13
everything is fine to be in the boarding
36:16
area with your boarding taes ready and
36:17
available to scan we'll keep you update
36:20
in 10 more minutes whenever they ready
36:22
to Bo we're going to start the boarding
36:24
process all right number three walking
36:28
down this jet
36:30
way holy
36:33
Lord I bet the flight's probably less
36:36
people on the flight now though because
36:38
people were
36:40
rerouted I almost did I almost went to
36:56
Tampa they definitely were not planning
36:56
on getting back on of this plane cuz
36:58
they had removed up the luggage now
36:59
they're putting the luggage back on of
37:00
course mine is above my head yeah I
37:03
think they were all willing and ready to
37:06
just transfer to a different plane not
37:08
that plane
37:09
but man this is just so weird again
37:12
speaking I'm up at the front of the
37:13
airplane you can see me if you want to
37:14
look um we've got 11 passengers that are
37:18
still supposed to be going with us that
37:19
have not yet uh shown back up at the
37:21
gate we're trying to give them a
37:22
fighting chance to go with us
37:24
still so we're not going to wait we're
37:26
not going to wait very long but we're
37:27
going to wait a few more minutes and
37:29
just try to get as many people that were
37:30
supposed to be on this flight back on it
37:33
to explain what happened earlier with
37:35
the mechanic Interruption that we had
37:37
mechanical Interruption our
37:40
mechanics thought they communicated
37:42
correctly to our maintenance control
37:45
people in Dallas regarding an issue that
37:48
they saw with the
37:49
airplane the communication failed the
37:52
people in Dallas misunderstood what
37:55
mechanics here in Washington saw
37:58
that's why they took the airplane out of
38:00
service and in the time it took us to
38:04
get from here downstairs to our crew
38:07
Lounge they tracked us down and found us
38:09
and told us about the miscommunication
38:11
and told us that the airplane is
38:12
actually in fact good to go so there was
38:16
never anything wrong with the airplane
38:17
that was anything that was uh even
38:20
worthy remotely worthy of taking it out
38:22
of service it was all due to a
38:23
miscommunication so I'm very sorry again
38:26
we're going to wait a few more minutes
38:27
to try to get uh a few more passengers
38:29
back that we've lost that uh are in the
38:32
airport somewhere once we uh either get
38:35
them or get word from our uh
38:39
uh basically our ground service manager
38:42
that uh we need to go anyway that's when
38:44
we'll go shouldn't be more I don't think
38:46
than 5 or 10 minutes and the airplane is
38:48
uh again completely ready to go we'll
38:50
have you on your way as quickly as we
38:51
can once we get our last few people
38:53
thank you for your patience
42:46
a lot later getting into Orlando than I
42:46
originally planned but you know what I
42:49
got back to Orlando so pretty happy
42:51
about that all these little stands are
42:55
closed restaurants are closed
43:02
closed going to pick up my car and I
43:02
almost made the decision to fly to
43:05
Tampa and it was also Daytona I could
43:08
have flown to Daytona and thankfully I
43:11
did not do that because I would have
43:13
been it would have been kind of really
43:14
inconvenience to go from those places
43:17
there's also the Miami and then Miami
43:19
hit a layover come back up coming back
43:21
up to MCO the reason I didn't do that
43:24
because then that would have been two
43:26
layover uh with my luck I would end up
43:29
having I would ended up having an issue
43:32
with the layover in Miami so it worked
43:34
out I held my ground and I made it to
43:37
Orlando few hours late but I'm here and
43:41
I was a little stressed out because
43:43
bright in early
43:44
tomorrow got some stuff going
43:47
on and didn't want to miss that but if I
43:51
did actually over the next 3 days I had
43:54
plans I have plans tomorrow next day and
43:57
the next day but if for some reason I
43:59
was to have missed the plants tomorrow I
44:02
would have just stayed in DC and because
44:03
if I would have not made it home by
44:05
tomorrow would have put the wheels in
44:07
motion where the other days really
44:10
wouldn't have made a lot of sense to
44:11
come back for either and I probably
44:13
would have just stay
44:14
but seeing DC from the air reminds me I
44:18
need to get back over to DC so I'm going
44:20
to put that on the list at some point
44:24
this
44:24
year and get up there for a few
44:46
now very mow over to my car I think I
44:46
parked in B everything is closed up even
44:49
that store Gat your down and that's
44:52
going to do it for today going to bck my
44:55
car back at
44:58
Orlando I love flying until things
45:02
happen that make me not love flying had
45:05
some bad experiences with layovers and
45:07
delays
45:09
and I
45:11
really did not think the third time was
45:14
going to be a charm on that
45:16
one I'm
45:19
back see you in the next video the Vlog
45:21
thanks for watching the Vlog is over
