VIDEO TLDR AND UPDATES

Welcome to a rather unique video! I was asked by the incredibly talented Captain Dan from Lufthansa if I would like to film his final flight on the Airbus A340 before his transition to the A350. With his help, I managed to obtain footage from inside the flight deck as the plane was arriving. The added views provide so much more insight both to myself and viewers as to what goes on inside the cockpit upon landing. It truly was a treat to partner with Dan on this one.

To Dan, if you're watching: Thank you for all the work you've done to help make this collaboration possible. I wish you the best of luck with your transition to the A350. If you're ever back here in Vancouver - let me know and I'll be there spotting for you ;)

Hope everyone enjoys this interesting video, Euro videos coming next!

The Story of YVRgopher
YVRgopher originally started as a school math project in May, 2020. Over the course of the pandemic, plane spotting has become a passion and a hobby of mine. Each video I make is filmed and edited with excitement as well as dedication. My goal is to create a video that connects me with people who are like me and who have the same passion as I do.

With each video, I am putting more time and effort into video quality, sound engineering, colour grading, title design, and more so that all my wonderful viewers can experience the hype and overall wonder that aviation brings into the world. If you like my content, I would strongly recommend you subscribe (using the link above) so that you never miss a video!

Thank you all for your kind words of support and appreciation! Enjoy the video :)
