This newest release features a very unique aircraft that many may not be aware of. While the title shows that this is an A330-300, you might also notice an “E” designation at the end. This signifies that the A330-300E featured in this program is an enhanced version of the aircraft. On our flight from Stockholm to Hong Kong, viewers will be able to see an array of presentations which include crew briefings, MCDU setup, engine startup procedures, detailed cockpit presentations and most importantly, presentations on differences between the legacy A330-300 and the Enhanced version. From the preview photos, it’s clear to see that one of the features of this aircraft is the ability to display the airport diagram on the navigation display. This is a feature that is commonly seen on the newer A350 and the 787. Throughout this video, you will see the captain make full use of this feature, showing just how valuable it can be in getting around a complex airport. While in Hong Kong, Just Planes takes you on a brief tour of the city to showcase what a flight crew might do to unwind after a 10+ hour flight. On our return trip, in addition to capturing much of the action in the cockpit, we also focus on the cabin of the aircraft which features the stunning meals enjoyed by the passengers. SAS certainly offers their customers a top notch product and this segment certain sells the benefit of flying with this airline. While the return trip was quite uneventful, I couldn’t help but appreciate the friendly nature of the flightcrew. The captain was very engaging as he discussed numerous aspects of flying such as crew rest, staying alert, avoiding jetlag and numerous other intriguing topics that I am sure everyone will find enlightening. Learning about the A330-300E was an interesting experience and I certainly hope to see more of this aircraft in the future. SAS and Just Planes have always produced outstanding videos and we can be confident that this intriguing video won’t be the last from SAS. Video Preview & Product Page JUST PLANES SAS A330-300

Featuring the classic 747-300, the A300-600 and the somewhat new A340-600, this program will appeal to the interest of all aviation enthusiast. Our first round trip features the A300-600 which is an amazing aircraft that has been the backbone of many airlines. This aircraft is unfortunately not a common sight in passenger operations today, but it certainly is being used heavily in the cargo sector of the airline industry. As we join the crew from Kerman to Tehran, viewers will enjoy observing as the cockpit is setup for departure and how effortlessly the pilots fly this aircraft. Flying around Iran always offers beautiful scenery and this segment certainly offers some of the best views in this region. Our next roundtrip flight from Tehran to Bandar Abbas features an aircraft few have seen had the opportunity to fly onboard. The 747-300 is a true classic and it is one of the only classic 747 models with a 3 man crew still in operation. Throughout this segment there were many highlights which showcased the team work required to fly the aircraft, in addition to presentations from the Flight Engineer and Captain which covered the routing, briefings and systems of the aircraft. To anyone who loves classic airliners, this is certainly a highlight of this program not to be missed. The final round trip featured in this program takes us from Tehran to Dubai onboard what can be considered to be the most modern aircraft of the Mahan Air fleet. With seven A340-600s in their fleet, It’s quite clear that Mahan Air loves having a 4 engine airliner as their flagship aircraft. To begin our trip, we join the pilots in the cockpit as they complete all necessary procedures prior to departure. With the A340-600 being such a large aircraft, it was no surprise that in order to taxi safely to the runway, the captain needed some assistance via the exterior cameras. This is a unique feature of the A340-600 series and it is one that enables the pilots to steer the aircraft accurately while on the ground. While enroute to Dubai, most highlights features the pilots carrying out their duties with briefings and communication with ATC included. As always, the approach and landing at Dubai was an outstanding highlight given the fascinating scenery surrounding the Dubai airport. For the return flight to Tehran, I was quite impressed with the thorough cockpit presentation by the First Officer in addition to his detailed arrival briefing. This clearly shows that the pilots of Mahan Air are highly professional and are very knowledgeable about the aircraft they fly on a daily basis. While the final segment was somewhat short, it certainly was informative. In the end, I think that this program is certainly well worth having and especially so since it includes a rare look at the 747-300 and the A300-600 in passenger operations. Mahan Air may not be well known globally, but this fantastic program certainly is a nice introduction to this intriguing airline. Video Preview & Product Page

Lionheart Creations is proud to announce the release of its latest plane; the Proton Stingrey. This package is a look into the future of General Aviation with a focus on modern electric propulsion. The Stingrey is a two passenger 'flying wing' that has similar design features to the vintage Arup German sport planes of the 1930's, and also the famous Chance Voight V-173 Flying Flapjack. The Stingrey is designed to be both a STOL Bush plane of the future as well as an extreme aerobatic capable vehicle. The Stingrey features no rudders as it is a flying wing and lifting body. Yaw axis controls are through spoiler panels and computer 'feathering' of the prop fans on each side. This enables the sleek saucer-like craft to do 'flat turns' without banking. The Stingrey has quite a lot of features including a voice system, STOL pods that aim up for short field take-offs, 3 variants from standard Retractable Gear (RG) to Fixed Gear (less expensive, slower, more rugged) FG version, and also the Amphibian model with retractables for both land and water landings. The soundpack features a wild new sound series for an electric plane. For more information, you can learn more about the Proton Stingrey here

This program features a roundtrip flight from Casablanca to Montreal onboard the 747-400 and it features many interesting highlights that will appeal to all aviation enthusiast for years to come. After taking the viewers on an exterior walkaround of the aircraft, our First Officer takes us to the flight deck where the remaining departure procedures are completed. Once airborne, there were numerous segments which featured stunning scenery and presentations from the pilots covering our routing and other intriguing bits of information on the 747. Throughout the first flight to Vancouver, it was quite evident that both of our pilots truly loved flying the 747. In a presentation made by the First Officer, it was quite evident that she was especially fond of the 747-400 while also enlightening the viewers on how she got into aviation. Her story, while not especially unique, was inspiring and I am sure that many young viewers will be interested in knowing how they can also become a pilot. During the Captain’s presentation, we learn about his career, the operations of Royal Air Maroc and the operations of the B747. While we all enjoy the flying aspects of these videos, learning from experienced pilots is always an enjoyable and enlightening feature of these programs. The final highlight worth mentioning centers on the return flight to Casablanca. During this segment the viewers will have the opportunity to experience a cockpit presentation by the First Officer which was sufficiently detailed for anyone wanting to learn more about the 747 cockpit layout and systems. Personally, I’ve always enjoyed the cockpit presentations featured in these programs and I’ve found that on each occasion, you can learn more and more about the same aircraft. To conclude, I think that this program was a unique and memorable look at the operations of the 747-400. I appreciated the excitement and professionalism of the crew and I also enjoyed the fine editing done by the producer of this program. With numerous cameras throughout the cockpit, there was no shortage of perspective and just in case you missed something, the periodic replays were a nice addition. With this being the second program to feature Royal Air Maroc, it’s quite evident that this airline loves sharing its passion for aviation. It is my hope that we continue to see more of this airline in the future and perhaps more featuring the Queen of the Skies.

Typically, an airline will pulls out all of the stops to ensure that this particular flight will be a memorable one. In this video, we not only have the opportunity to experience the celebratory atmosphere of an inaugural flight to Miami, but we will also be getting a taste of what it’s like to flying onboard a new airline. Air Italy was formed in 2018 after the merger of Meridian and the previous Air Italy. With Qatar Airways having a 49% stake in this airline, we can be sure that there can only be good things to look forward to from this airline in the future. Though the airline plans on having a fleet of 787s and 737 MAX aircraft, presently they are utilizing an A330 for their long haul operations while also using older 767s and 737NGs which will soon be replaced. For our flight to Miami from Milan, we start off with a view of the lounge area as the passengers and employees enjoy some of the treats provided by the airline for this special occasion. Once onboard the aircraft, our flight crew begins the necessary preparations for our flight by setting up the MCDU and completing their departure briefing. In addition to this being an inaugural flight, we also are privileged to experience a line check in action as one of our pilots is evaluated. If you are interested in how a line check is done, there is a very nice presentation on this process while enroute to Miami. Other highlights enroute included presentations from the pilots on our routing and some insightful information on the future plans of this airline. Another interesting highlight was a presentation that centered on the role of a flight attendant and the services available in the cabin of this aircraft. To the average flying passenger, or someone considering a career avidation, perhaps this is a segment you may find quite interesting. After an uneventful but beautiful landing in Miami, it was a great experience to witness a water cannon salute from the cockpit (this was also done at the departure airport) and it was also a nice touch to include a brief boat tour of Miami prior to our return flight. For the return flight to Milan, fans of the A330 will be quite pleased with the cockpit presentation which showcases some of the advanced systems of this aircraft, while also enjoying some of the most amazing views from the cockpit prior to landing. For viewers who are particularly interested in the visual aspect of this video, Just Planes has done an outstanding job in camera placement and in their editing to ensure that the viewers enjoy an immersive experience during all phases of flight. My personal favorites were the landing and departure out of Miami which was a scenic and enjoyable experience. Ultimately, if you are an aviation enthusiast at heart, this video surely worth adding to your collection and we certainly look forward to seeing more from this new and promising airline.
