Nice work. So many flight videos are 85% taxi then the last few minutes are actually flying. Thanks for the good air footage the sea of clouds was pretty with the blue sky.

[@NDSAviation1]

Thanks! A lot of the videos I made since this one have taxi footage in them, but I put time stamps for takeoff so people can skip straight to it. My more recent videos though I'm shifting back to only including engine startup and takeoff/departure footage since I'm personally less interested in the taxi portion and analytics suggest most people aren't either.

wow i was expecting a old generic takeoff video but this video turnout great!
you got a good seat
the camera and sounds are spot on
the 737 flight path and engine sound were on your side
and the weather and time of day was pretty including that cloud break

[@NDSAviation1]

Thanks man! I was still kind of a noob when I shot this video - nowadays I’d like to think I’m better lol

[@danmyh]

breaking through the clouds look so nice as you get a real sence of the speed you're going

[@aero3831]

I like the video and engine sound. Single thing that’s missing is the flight attendant shutting the fck up

[@fd3621]

This safety briefing was way too long, and sounded so monotonous. The thing is, concentration levels drop if the instructions are too long, which negates the effect intended to achieve. They need to be short, crisp, and to the point.

[@KatieJo317]

Sounds like pre recorded instructions and not an actual person lol

[@heroknaderi]

Awesome VIew. I like it.

[@KurtS.87]

I love flying and just watching this is fun for me. I always love the feeling before takeoff. I love the sound of the engine starting and knowing that I am about to be high in the sky!! Can't wait for my trip this summer.

[@NDSAviation1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

How can I get over my fear of flying??

[@KurtS.87]

@@kylewilliams6346 Remember that the chances of dying in a commercial plane crash are extremely low. I think around 1 in 5 million. The pilots are highly trained.

I flew AA before

[@noble_xx1000]

What holder do you use for the phone?

[@NDSAviation1]

Generally speaking, I hand hold for all recordings. In the past I used a ram mount to make it easier to hold the phone at different angles if the window was situated awkwardly but either way I handheld the mount as well. I don’t mount my phone to the aircraft directly because there’s an unacceptable amount of vibration that transfers to the phone.

I like the safety briefing on Southwest so much more ... this (AA) seems so generic and insincere.
