One of the best compilations of heavy departures I've ever shot! ATL is one of my new favorite airports for spotting. Hope you all enjoy the video! Filmed March 2, 2019 Camera: Sony AX33 Follow me on Instagram! / leppaviation

For clarification, (because I'm seeing a lot of comments about it) this was filmed on March 2nd (which it says in the description), which was before the 737 MAX was grounded. That's why they are still flying in this video.

Just wondering where exactly you're filming at ATL. Obviously it's runway 9/27 so are you in the parking deck? I've heard that it's a great place but the police quickly show up to hassle you if you have a camera. Thanks!!

I was on a flight once where you could tell (feel and hear) the gear was down after takeoff for quite a while. Captain finally came on and said they had a temp sensor overheat on one of the wheels and couldn’t put the gear up. We flew like that for 10-12 minutes then you could hear the gear go up. No further issues (other than costing them extra fuel).
@fliegerj5 жыл бұрын
I don't think it had the range. We once hard broke a C-17 at Ramstein and they had to fly in a special Boeing crew (non-military) and they flew the plane stateside (Kelly AFB TX, I think) with the gear down and had to do seven enroute A/Rs. C-17s westbound were notoriously short-legged to begin with. We'd launch from ETAR empty for CHS and always had to make a gas-n-go at DOV or WRI.

Whether it’s Atlanta, Detroit, or wherever, I absolutely LOVE watching takeoffs from this angle! Please give us more. My favorite shot is when they are up off the ground, with their gear already up (or mostly up) before they pass the camera line. That way you catch a glimpse of them in the configuration in which they are really meant to be; sleek, streamlined, and haulin’ ass.😉

As late as 1967, Constellations from Delta and DC-7s, DC-6s, Martin 404s, Convair 540s....all the propairliners, could be seen then....now THAT was a joyous sight to watch all these back in those days!!

@davidhoffman12785 жыл бұрын
Somebody mentioned something I had forgotten about. The gear is sometimes left down to cool the brakes and tires after long taxiing and braking operations were needed to get to the runway. A blown tire or blazing hot brakes is not something you want in the enclosed space of a gear well. One interesting issue is that sometimes idle thrust is so powerful compared to the friction working against the aircraft's forward movement that the pilots ride the brakes a lot as they taxi to the runway. That may send brake and tire temperatures into an unacceptable range for immediate enclosure by the gear doors.

A lot of their fleet is aging, but there are also plenty of brand new aircraft in their fleet. 737-900s, A321s, A350s, A220s, A330neos, and the incoming A321neo. I’d say about half, if not more, of Delta’s fleet is under 6 years old.

You know what's ironic about it? American Airlines has the newest fleet and the oldest cabins. When you step into a 25 year old Delta 757, you'd think it was a new plane looking at the seats and video screens. And one nice thing about an old fleet is you know the carrier will put more effort into maintaining them knowing they're going to be using them longer.

And is there a good time in the morning because with the sun being in the West in the afternoons, the pics can get real backlit real fast. Thanks man!
Wow... just 1 year ago and there is lots of aircrafts that will not fly again (don’t fly but will come back or not come back) like the MD-80, Delta 777, 737 Max which is coming back. But there is lots of them!
