Vintage Plane Spotting at KPHX (Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport) - 1986

Arizona’s Family Video Vault team is giving you a rare glimpse of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in 1986, featuring classic aircraft and long-gone airlines like PSA (Pacific Southwest Airlines), Republic Airlines, and TWA (Trans World Airlines). What makes this footage even more remarkable is the view of a much smaller Sky Harbor and a modest downtown Phoenix skyline — a striking contrast to the modern, fast-growing city we know today.
