    Taking off from Boston Logan International airport in a Boeing 737...
    April 7, 2012 - American Airlines 1247 (737-800)
    Boston Logan to Chicago O'Hare
    Seat 23F
    Lots of ground action on this one. Great climb out right over downtown Boston finishing with a look back to the airport in the distance as we speed up above 10,000 ft and head Northwest. Was a bit bumpy at the start but cleaned up once the captain retracted the flaps.
    Quick index with links to skip ahead:
    Pushback @4:30
    Taxi starts @8:30
    Takeoff @13:20

    1. Yes.
    2. Yes..for the most part.
    3. Always...as in any other airline.
    4. Flying is safer than driving...AA has a high safety record.
    5. No pointers. Just get in there and do it. I was terrified of flying before but I had no other choice (literally). Get a window seat and look out..it's always fun. I've flown about 35 times and am flying out to Sacramento, CA. from Norfolk, VA. next month, I can't wait. Turbulence has been a bit scary once and bad another time...longest hour of my life! :)

    Love this video. I'm going to Logan airport to visit a friend who is landing at Logan for three hours before getting his connection flight to Iceland. I told him to enjoy the views of landing at Logan

      flying is great - don't be afraid, enjoy it.... safer than walking across the street. You'll probably be on a mainline flight (google it) with a crew that flies the same route every day.

    2. It depends on weather and ATC. 3. Im sure they are very nice. 4. They have not had a fatal accident since 2001. 5. Sit at the window, it sounds stupid but if you can see that the plane is flying straight and level your anxiety will ease a bit. Sit behind the wings so you can see them, and remember, an airplanes wings will always flex a bit in flight, there are spoilers, ailerons and flaps on a wing that are supposed to move up and down, todays planes are built to handle severe turbulence.

  • @fdwyerSDMM
    @fdwyerSDMM  Před 12 lety

    They're a really big airline, but they do reasonably well... I end up flying on American all the time because their hub is in a perfect place for flying to the East coast from Southern California. Keeps the lengths of the flights to less than 3 hours for each leg.

    "See how our friends from Delta are taking off..." I love how no matter what airline you fly for or fly on, it doesn't matter. One thing we all have in common is the love for flying.

    for the startup/taxi, the phone was resting on the window ledge... for the takeoff, I held the phone just slightly away from the window on three fingers like a tripod (two fingers on bottom, one on top). If it touches the window the vibration makes the image shimmer.

    @fdwyerSDMM  Před 12 lety

    Believe it or not, a Motorola Atrix smartphone... Video editing cleaned it up. For some reason it does a great job on airplane videos. I'm not complaining.
