The baggage system is awful and it’s far from everything

I really miss that old airport. This coming from a multigenerational Denver native. Dad had a little different opinion on this being a 30 year United pilot :-) RIP, dad.

How are you Cheyenne Citizens? This Uncle Mike checking on you. God be with you " Wyomingians"

A good friend of mine lived out in Montebello then. I remember going over to his place having a few beers and watching the parade :-) it was kind of sad for me growing up in Denver watching the old airport go down the road.

Invaluable video. Thank you. In the second half of 1989 my family flew on Continental Airlines from Sydney to the US, via Honolulu. I recall that we flew to Denver at some point. Looking at a route map from back then, it seems likely we flew Honolulu direct to Denver, rather than from Honolulu to Los Angeles. If this is correct, we must have flown into Stapleton. I was too young (and probably too jetlagged) to appreciate the experience at the time, though I recall the lovely stewardesses and how kind they were. I wish I'd known I was in an airport that was only a few years away from shutting forever and on an airline that would cease to exist. I also wish I'd paid closer attention to what aircraft I was travelling on. I assume it was a 747-100 though maybe a DC-10?

almost all these aircraft have gone on to fly a new life for alpine

Реально красивый самолёт. Дай Бог вам здоровье и мягкой посадки.

wow that hawker pilot was crazy to take off in that

That is so crazy, wow! Just, wow!

How long were they there? I just watched them land and am waiting for them to take off.

Jug Hill, Peter Peelgrane, Mike Silva, and Rob Marshall (with his dog) were the news helicopter pilots who ruled the Denver skies and airwaves from the late 1970s until the late 2000s. Those familiar names we'll never hear again.

Stapleton was more than sufficient for the Denver area. But Pena wanted to get Denver on the map so to speak and create a huge mega-metropolis with DIA and a bunch of other ambitious projects.

That's lewis Hamilton plane

El del despegue es un Citation Cessna mire el timon de progundidad entonces?

GOTTA LAND THAT PLANE.

I saw a few Battleship United planes.. while Stapleton will be missed (and is now damn near nonexistent as it has since been turned into housing.. all the remains is the control tower.. and the neighborhood bearing the same name.. has since changed as well..)

just flew over me in oklahoma. interesting stuff

I worked for Continental in Seattle but would go to Denver a lot and went to Stapleton more times than I can count. Thank you for this video of time gone by. I would trade my house in right now to go back to these times.

Question for anyone who knows, please forgive my ignorance here. When they shut down an airport like this, are airlines offered to create a hub to use the entire airport or is that just not feasible?

They travel in pairs.

Do they always travel in pairs ? I saw 2 over California exact same format.

How could they have a live video of the first flight arriving? How did that 737 to MCI get to DEN? Was it in the convoy from Stapleton?

What's wild is that Denver skyline has a handful of buildings, now it's nearly doubled...

Our Company Jet. I was on that flight that day.

Here's the tanker taking off from McGrath Alaska! ruclips.net/video/YA9ciowD8wU/видео.htmlsi=_t1JhnS9j2ugUNhr

I'm a Denver native, born in 1957. In the 60's, Dad would take us kids to just outside Stapleton, and we'd watch the planes go overhead just a hundred feet or so during take-offs and landings. When friends or family flew, we'd gather up the family and head to the airport. We'd gather around the gate to wait for their arrival or to see them off. In the eighties, I worked for Continental Airlines out of the flight kitchen on Smith Road, catering flights. That was one of my all-time favorite jobs. What I miss most about Stapleton is the openness and freedom I felt there. Sometimes, while waiting for my flights to cater, I would wander the concourses late at night. Nobody bothered me, there was no TSA to hassle people, and the airport just felt peaceful and calm. Stapleton International Airport has always been and will always be a huge part of my life.

Right when I saw the start of the ground vehicles driving them all the way from Stapleton airport all the way to Denver International Airport I first thought how in the world do they have the energy on the ground vehicles itself because I didn't think they'd last that long until a couple of seconds later they said United Airlines had a good few that broke down....1% of the fleet is definitely good news since I thought it'd be much higher due to the extremely long drive.

Dang Anne Trujillo just retired on Nov 2023 at Denver 7.

Stapleton was such a great airport. Moved to Colorado in 1992 and remember flying in there often before it closed.

12:15 56 and peoria i live by there now in montbello and its so different now

This colour is perfect👍👍💪🏼👌👌

Yup the APU is so damned loud like the G200 it’s parked away from everything else. Junk like the G200 “Galaxy” it trys to “replace”. Get rid of this piece of junk and let Gulfstream design a quality product from the start.

Man that’s one sexy looking aeroplane!

Stapleton was an extremely busy airport for it's size. United and Continental had big hubs there. It was convenient for both because of it's location.

Nice!

I love the Aztec flew in one in 1987 in Ireland my home country I was only 13 flew over the David Bowie concert in slane co. Meath over slane castle was amazing

It was so stupid to close Stapleton and build DIA. First, all they needed and had room for was another concourse. Second, it was 10 minutes to the financial district downtown. Third, we all know about the shady dealings with the contractors building DIA. Fourth, DIA is out in the middle of nowhere and there is lots of wind shear. Not to mention it is built in an old Native American burial ground. Lastly the place is so creepy.

I can still hear Fortunate Son playing over the sound of the rotors 😂

love the big DC-10's

Ahhh my home away from home. Im from scottsbluff NE not far away.

I saw 4 Ospreys the other day there, it was a great scene!

I was born and raised in Denver left in 1977 floor there to go to Florida I loved Stapleton. I became a plane spotter and it was an amazing airport now I’m in Florida. Went to the new airport in 2016. It’s nice but nothing like Stapleton.Stapleton was amazing.
