Spectacular!!! Flew in this baby back in 2005 operated by AirTran Airways. It was an incredible experience, especially during takeoff and Approach. Just an awesome Aircraft!
Flew on one back in January 2, 2020 before the pandemic from ATL to PIttsburgh. I always pick a window seat next to the engine love what I call the mini Mad Dog.
I got over my fear of flying on a 717 back in 2005. Took an AirTran flight from Atlanta to Minneapolis to meet a girl. Sat on the plane for 2 hours before we took off, if I remember they had to switch out the co-pilot, not even sure now. Sitting there I realized I had no control and needed to stop anticipating what was next and just go with it.
I did the same exact thing after my 7th flight in two weeks .. on a 717-200 I decided if I don’t make it I don’t .. atleast I lived and got to experience everything I did it will be over fast 💨 even if I don’t. I then finally calmed down and quit panicking!
@@redcomic619 The RR BR715 engines on the 717 are very powerful for the aircraft's size, which allows it to take a steeper angle of climb and get to cruise altitude faster. :)
