Hello again, so glad I could be "a very friendly seatmate in seat 28F." I saw my little cameo at the end, yay! I planned to overdub my video with music, but I liked hearing the message from the captain, and the voices around us echoing the wonderment you described. Feel free to reach out if you'd care for any clips or stills to use on your blog. All my "eclipse" and Sweepstakes award videos are on my channel, SeaSkiAndMe, but I have some unpublished footage I won't be using. My favorite thing about this flight was not the eclipse, itself, but the atmosphere. Truly a "party in the sky." These days, we are so used to hearing about unruly or rude passengers. Not on this flight! Instead it was a spirit of cooperation, jubilation, and absolute joy that sailed across country culminating in Indianapolis. It made me feel really good about my fellow humans who reside on this spinning rock with me.

I knew I wanted to see and photograph the eclipse, but I was not ready for the awe inspiring experience it was. Even the very best photos do not do it justice. Everything from the temperature changes, crickets suddenly chirping, 360 degree sunset to the sun just POPPING out at you in the sky is something I will never forget. Seeing it at 30,000+ feet sounds incredible. I too saw it in Dallas and considering how horrible the weather forecast was for viewing, I feel unbelievably lucky to have witnessed all of totality amidst tons of broken clouds.

I went to Russellville Arkansas to do the same. The lack of dynamic range in photo formats and displays of today really is an injustice to how it looks in person. Really glad I brought a set of high end binocs with me. Not many mention the crickets lol. That was one of the first things I noticed

I was at work at a construction site in Hewitt Tx and right before the eclipse everyone shut down to watch and it was such a mesmerizing experience such a peaceful but powerful energy to be involved in

Very cool! You may know this, but in 1973 Concorde spent 74 minutes in totality with its supersonic ability to roll back the clock and outrace the sun. I was lucky enough to zip down to DAL on JSX to see this one. Amazing.

Nice vid. Many thanks. I saw my fair share in Munich, Germany in 1999 when we had an ace total eclipse too. Saw it on the ground. Far better I'd say. You witness the whole of nature stop and go quiet. No birds singing and no police with their sirens.

That's one thing I didn't get. The best viewing spot I could find was on top of a bridge over an interstate highway. There was a lot of road noise and no animals nearby. It was a trade-off. I wanted view up more than view sideways. I'm not disappointed with my choice. Would have been cool but oh well.

Going with unassigned seats was a gutsy call! Glad it worked out! They did a cool job making it a full experience. Great video as always!

The stars surrounding the strange corona exposed sun in the sky adds to the surreal experience. You have to "experience" one at least once in your life, even if its just for a few minutes.. you'll remember it forever.

Cool, but I'll stay on the ground. On August 11th 1999 I witnessed a complete solar eclips in Luxembourg. It was insane. Not just the eclips itself but also the feeling a got, I can't describe it, and eery feeling. I think kind of a instinctive kind of fear. Even I knew what was happening. The was no wind before the eclips started, and all of a sudden the wind picked up fast. We were in a rural area with horses on a field next to us. They went to their night stay when the eclips started, and when after 3 minutes it got light again the horses were confused, and not happy. Jumping running making noises. That was insane as well. I hope I will be able to go to the solar eclips in 2026 in Spain. Exactly at the place I always stay.

I remember back in 1991 when I was only 6 years old I went to my grandma's house to enjoy the total solar eclipse and it was AMAZING AND UNDESCRIPTIBLE (did I say it right?) and everything around the phenomenon was kind of strange, dogs start to bark, some birds were returning to their nests and the colors and the wind starting to blow was so beautiful to remember, now that I'm 38 watching the people in Mazatlán, Sinaloa enjoying this event again gaves me goosebumps all over my body... Took me back to my beautiful childhood... But one thing is for real: you guys, the whole passengers and the Southwest crew made this event unique, flying 38,000fts and see the moon's shadow covering the flight path it's something to remember in a very special place in your lives and that place istbe heart and in your memory, I send you greetings from Mexico City. ❤🎉

Traveled to Arkansas to see it, one of the craziest 3 minutes of my life. slowly darkening over 40 minutes and you can't see the change without glasses until the totality occures at which point there looks like a massive blackhole in the heart of the sun and it becomes 9 pm during the heart of the daytime. Great stuff!

At 7:48, I was at the speedway watching the eclipse and tracking flights and I remember seeing your flight fly over! I wish I knew that was you, I could of got a cool pic of your plane! 😀

I was so fortunate to watch the Eclipse from my back porch in Hamilton, Ohio. Thank God the clouds got out of the way just in time! Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did!

We are in Kaufman County, TX and had 100% totality for about 4+ minutes! What an amazing experience! I'd check out the next one on the ground!! Cheers to you both!

Man only 10 minutes, I am in Indy and we got 3.5 half just sitting in the yard. Need the Concorde back just for eclipse flights now. 74 minutes of totality tracking over Africa in 1971.

What an awesome experience! Southwest really knocked this one out of the park, and you guys must have gotten into a good stream for the plane to fly at 600mph. Awesome video Jeb and Suzanne!

Yes! I’m glad you finally did another southwest video! Please keep them coming! I love them!

We were lucky enough to have the eclipse go right over us in northeast Ohio! it was an awesome experience. During the total darkness we can still see blue skies in the distance horizon 360 degrees around us.

Amazing. Once in a lifetime opportunity :)

Always great to see a Jeb and Susan video. Seeing/experiencing a total solar eclipse is still on my bucket list. Need to be on the ground to get the full effect. Being 35kft up you get all the light coming in from the "horizon".

My city (Cleveland) was in the path this Monday, it was truly an amazing experience.

I watched this eclipse at the Indy airport and rode this exact same plane home. If only I payed attention I could have said hi haha

I saw the eclipse in totality during the 2017 one…. Unless you’ve seen it 100% in totality you don’t understand. It’s amazing.

The times I've flown Southwest, the airlines has always been awesome. Kudos. The one time, we were flying into Las Vegas. As we were early, the gate was not yet available. The Captain got clearance to fly over the Grand Canyon for a few minutes, then back, allowing the left and right sides of the plane to get a glimps, and at a much lower altitude since we were setting up altitude for approach.

Nice video guys. I live in the path of totality in Arkansas and I think we may have seen your plane going over. It was a day never to be forgotten.

I was on a SW flight from Philadelphia to Chicago, crossed passed Cincinnati a few minutes ahead of time but got a pretty good view of the eclipse.

One of a kind view from the sky! It reminds me of when I saw a SpaceX launch on my flight home to Orlando last year. We saw it as we passed Jacksonville and were cruising at around 30k feet....it was one of those view you can't get from the ground - it was EPIC!
