A beautiful video. The take-off must have looked and felt a lot different from the upper deck. And you back-taxied down a portion of a runway - I don't think I've ever seen that done at LAX. Thanks for posting!
@@ptcla Thank you! It was indeed a very unique experience and I’m very grateful I was able to relay that feeling to you as best I could through a screen. I’ve got a big trip coming up in December… 4(!!) Lufthansa long haul flights (A330s, A340s, 747s) in and out of Frankfurt, so make sure to subscribe for more! ✈️
Technically yes, but the direction we taxied was on runway 6R (the rightmost of two runways with a heading of 60). 6R and 24L are the same strip of land and each code only differentiates the direction. In this case we taxied towards the city (6R) and took off out towards the Pacific ocean (24L). Thanks for watching!
@@marklee1462 😂. Good thought but that was out of the captain’s control, it was the departure vectors given to him by air traffic control who’s responsible for managing Southern California air traffic. We ended up taking a series of left turns and crossing the coast in the reverse direction over Seal Beach with a northeast heading bound for Britain. Thanks for watching!
