Here's an example of a AA B757 in essentially that exact situation after taking off at JFK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wcq6KipBOro


sort by: page size:

its a DL advert, but they did this on a ATL->JFK flight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocbxS5aWUSo

Lol, that reminds me of the plane scene from Almost Famous: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WHOE4UfoimY

Silly link is to the middle of the video after the interesting part.. Here is a better link to just before takeoff https://youtu.be/KYbM-3E11Qo?t=37

There is a similar one of an SR71 tooling around over Cuba at god-knows-what 1000s of feet being asked to move to make way for another airplane. A Concorde goes past, with people in shirt sleeves happily sipping their champagne.

Also maybe: that scene in Airplane!

That reminds me of this guy who did a similar thing to get a Concorde flight - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/3204699.stm

I just searched for it and I found a story about Air Force One that morning in Sarasota:

https://www.jacksonville.com/news/20160904/anderson-morning-...

> Air Force One — the 747 that transports the President of the United States — took off in an unconventional direction and climbed nearly straight-up, like a rocket, at 8,000 feet per minute in the direction of the Gulf of Mexico. No one had ever seen such a steep and urgent ascent.

That's quite a trajectory for a 747.



Here's a short newsreel from the time that includes the flight footage:

Relevant distraction: Nice in cockpit vid of pre takeoff CG and fuel transfer checks, take off, and after checks. 10m.

Low light takeoff, because pretty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7mt6AKKhq4

video of boeing stress-testing 777 wings by deflecting them up with cables, against a stationary fuselage

first thing that came to mind after seeing the video of the crashed plane do a cartwheel on its wing.




Here's one of those RATs in motion on a 777:

Video of flight track and atc recording : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7-zh7Sebr8

If you search YouTube for “Trevor Jacob” there is several pilot folks who have spent tons of time going through every little detail of the video. They’ve reconstructed the flight path, where it landed, you name it. It was one of those “hive mind” kind of deals and it was fun to follow during the month or so after the original video was posted.
