Unfortunately, no I do not have any other videos of the old terminals at DTW.

Hope you enjoyed the flight on 695!

Thanks! Those PW2000s never disappoint.

This was filmed on 31AUG2015.

@@miaviation-railway okay makes more sense

Very nice! Hope you enjoyed the flight on 1702.

Thanks!

Tokyo to Detroit/HND-DTW/RJAA-KDTW via November 507 Delta November, an A350-941.

he was sitting in Delta One Suites

Sure

@@miaviation-railway Is Any Amount & Time Okay?

Yep! Go for it. Thanks for asking.

Enjoy your flight!

@@miaviation-railway thanks! it was great

Technically yes--as the Smith & Davey terminals were conjoined and shared concourses. The C concourse in particular was part of both terminals at one time. I am not sure of the exact gate NW255 used, but if anyone else does, please feel free to mention it here. My guess is considering that it was an MD-82, it would have either used C, D, or E.

@@miaviation-railway I'm a little obsessed with gates used by famous crashes. American 191, Usair 427, etc. are some of the gates I've been to. A little morbid, I know, but it feels kind of spiritrual to see a door where more than a hundred souls entered and left the earth for good.

Thank you! This actually ended up being one of my favorite sounding 717 takeoffs to date. RR/BMW really built a spectacular engine!

Thanks! This was filmed from seat 24A. On DL’s 717 fleet, this same spot is 26A, as the cabin is configured differently.

@@miaviation-railway interesting

They sure do! It’s an excellent added touch to the whole experience on HA.

Thankfully, DL & HA still plan to fly them for the next few years!

Obrigado por assistir este vídeo!

Don’t get me wrong, there is certainly no hiding how much of a crowded relic T1 is in comparison to T2 West & other premier facilities across the globe. But love it or hate it, T1 has been paramount in the success of SAN since 1967. It’s just for that same reason that it is long overdue for modernization…. I suppose a lot of my nostalgia for T1 stems from it being included in many of my favorite trips in the past decade or so, and meeting one of my closest friends there. I’ve also found the rotunda concourses to be surprisingly somewhat cozy and relatively well kept for their age (1982 for the East Rotunda & 1990 for the West Rotunda).

Not sure if you have seen it recently but the old PSA hanger/HQ building has been demolished for the new terminal. I attended an airport board meeting about the T1 project back in 2014 in there and it was a very nice building. The lowest floor was used as a terminal for the LAX services on the old turboprops (E120's Saab's). I was actually sad to see that one go as the building and mural was iconic to SAN.

I saw what’s left of it on my way to T1 before sunrise on 1/13. Only about a quarter of the PSA/Commuter Terminal was still standing. I only ever flew in and out of it once, but it was a very easy to use facility. And that mural you mentioned will definitely be missed!

If I ever connect through there again someday and I have ample time to do so, I’d be happy to. I’m just not sure when that will be so I just don’t want to get your hopes up…

Sure! Glad I could provide answers. I’d been wondering as well, as I usually end up in the T1 West Rotunda, or T2 for DL. Since this terminal is scheduled to be torn down in the next couple years, I wanted to get some footage to look back on after it is gone. As for the current state of the T1 East Rotunda, It is very nice having some extra room to sit down away from the crowds. The coffee shop that opened up where Gates 3-4 used to be is pretty good-I ended up grabbing a snack before I flew out from Gate 9 a few days after I filmed this.

@@miaviation-railway Wow, didn't even realize the coffee shop was new. Only time I've used SAN was about 10 years ago for a Virgin America flight to SFO. I will probably never see either rotunda. Doesn't SW use both concourses? How do connecting passengers do it without getting rescreaned?

Yes, WN does use both rotundas! The only issue is if you fly into 5-10 and fly out of 11-18, you will have to go through the other security checkpoint. Scheduling and ops is as mindful as possible when choosing what planes to park where and so on and so forth to avoid having passengers connect to the other rotunda. But sometimes, it is too challenging to accommodate.

@@miaviation-railway K, doesn't seem very practical. Same thing with the old 2 or 3 gates on the east end of T1 that were demolished.

Agreed, it’s not practical at all. But with the new T1 opening in 2025, that will soon be a problem of the past!

Rest assured, 2304 should be on the end soon enough! It will probably be pulled from mid-set sometime soon, and 2303 & 2308 will get their renovations. As unpopular of an opinion as it is, 2301 has been my favorite cab car for over a decade now and it’s always been great to ride with it-even with the unique fouled horn.

2305 is now in line to be overhauled next, and should be getting started on it right around now.

Nice! Looking forward to it.

@@superbaddy4 How long has it been out? I wonder if we’ll see it back this year. 2302 and 2307 are up after 05, correct?

2305 has been out since November 2022. It was directly replaced by 2306 on the very train it returned to service on, and then 2305 has never been seen running again since then, and only now is finally getting to go in for rebuild after a year of being stored out. 2302 and 2307 are currently sitting in the back line alongside Coach 2204 and both the F59PHIs. Apparently, they might just need maintenance, but their statuses are mostly unclear as of right now.

Funny you mentioned that! When I was on 2301 up from Carlsbad to Oceanside to catch this Amtrak train, I did notice 2304 on the consist.

There might be 2-cars in order to get the wraps onto the rest of the equipment but who knows

Thanks for sharing! Do you happen to know which ones or any in particular that do?

Unfortunately I don’t…

That’s alright!
