TOP 100 BEST Aircraft TAKEOFFS and LANDINGS from UP CLOSE | 2022 EDITION | Plane Spotting WORLDWIDE

2022 all done! What a year for this channel! I spent a good portion of the year travelling the globe, covering numerous countries and multiple continents, plane spotting at an amazing diversity of airports.

After a rough 2020 and 2021, aviation is finally back on track to its old self! With the loss of some beauties along the way, with many airlines retiring their amazing aircraft, its bitter-sweet, as they introduce other aircraft, and slowly bring some of their other aircraft back into action, such as the A380!

I travelled so much this year, and loved every minute of it! Covering North America at airports such as JFK, Los Angeles, Miami and Vancouver! Covering a large portion of Europe, such as the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, Switzerland and France... just to name a few! As well as covering lots of Asia, including some places such as Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand!! And of course, we can't forget about home! Plenty of trips down the road to Melbourne Airport, lots of travelling up to Sydney, and covering Brisbane and Perth too!

This video features my favourite and the best catches of the year! This video only captures a glimpse of 2022, with so many more I wish I could've included! So enjoy about an hour and a half of some of the best aircraft I caught this year, at some of the most amazing airports across the planet!!

HD Melbourne Aviation does not stop here, as 2023 is going to be even bigger! With plans to travel back to Europe and include the Nordic countries on the first mega trip, and then cover most of the USA and Canada in the second mega trip. Hopefully this year will bring spotting at other places too including possibly Japan, New Zealand, South America, and more!!

Thank you to every single one of you who have watched my content, liked the videos, subscribed, and a special shout-out to every single one of the members of the channel! I cannot do this work without you guys, and I can never thank you guys enough for allowing me to link my life-long passion for aviation as a full-time job!!

I can't wait for what's in stock for 2023, I've got some huge plans as mentioned before, and along with Max who will be joining me for a lot of the growth of this channel in 2023, we are so excited and can't wait to show you guys!

The landing of the USAF 747 is one of the finest bits of aviation photography I’ve ever seen. Just gorgeous.

I'm at loss for words as of this point, I can't think of any more adjectives to accurately describe the splendor of this video!

[michaelduelfer]

So many extraordinary Planes in one Video, wonderful.

[krishnbimanagar]

17:32 A-340 is why I clicked on this vid. Incredible videography.

[briangray]

If by some miracle we could bring back Orville and Wilbur Wright and have them stand halfway down the runway just where these aircraft are lifting off, they probably wouldn't believe their eyes.
