WOW! Can't say I've ever seen a major airport that dead in my whole life. Nobody else has, either! Yeah, the major highways in and around MA here are all dead like that, too. I'm loving it, though, lol - the commute to visit my dad every Sunday usually has me near my breaking point with the traffic. The past month it's been smooth sailing. A tolerable ride for a change! Anyway, thanks for the video, and glad you're healthy, Jim! Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. 😊

Two weeks ago, we flew Southest (Palm Beach Intl to Baltimore) with 69 passengers on board, then (Baltimore to Manchester, NH) with 29 passengers. All airports extremely quiet, as you experienced in this trip.

Checklist: Landing gear welded down, good one Jim!

Nice video! I wish you were able to land at Tuskegee! I graduated from there! Stay safe!

Things are pretty much back to normal at the airports down here in FL. A lot more traffic in the air and on the ground. This is an interesting video and will serve as a reminder of what happened in April 2020. Nice job on the video and nice looking Caravan!

I flew from Little Rock to Fort Walton Beach on Northwest Airlines September 20, 2001. 7 people on the flight. On my return to Memphis for a layover, there were 8 other passengers and I knew 4 by their 1st name. It was surreal. Also, was that KCDK out your window at 4:41? I'm almost sure it is. I love flying into that little strip.

I was on the very first international flight allowed out of LAX after 9/11 and my cab driver was freaking out when we pulled up to the terminal...it was just us and the proverbial tumble weeds. No one, and I mean NO ONE was there.
