God, this brings back memories. ORD to LAX and back again, twice a year, to my girlfriend's college, 2002 to 2006. There's really nothing like soaring out over the ocean (though that confused the hell out of me the first time, lol) then rounding back and getting a beautiful aerial view of the Grand Canyon. Happiest years of my adult life.
Absolutely agree, except the trip was reversed for me. I lived in WLA/SM for almost 20 years and would fly home to the Midwest over holidays. I was always so excited to be off work for 2 weeks and see family and girlfriend that I didn't mind being treated like cattle at check-in and security. I hated coming back for the first few days after vacation was over but then I'd catch a sunset, take in some ocean air, and see the bay encircling us (18:00 is a good example). It was like the city putting its arm around me and saying welcome back. LA's like that. A prospective lover who alternately entices you, then ghosts you, then lifts you up and makes you believe anything is possible, then gives you half a phone number and tells you to figure the rest out. Watching this video is the first time I've actually missed it since I moved away.
That butterfly preserve area use to be a whole neighborhood called surfridge. It got torn down decades ago.... and if you go in there you can see streets, manhole covers, palm trees, fire hydrants, and storm drains
757 sit back and enjoy the ride. Flew from Portland Or to Atlanta years back in a 757, then flew back in a 767. The 757 was a real pleasure and felt like a rocket when departing.
I used to watch a lot of someone else's channel for airplane take offs and landings. But I see that your channel has much clearer video, so I'll watch your channel's videos.
If you ever get a chance to visit Los Angeles you should definitely do it! There are so many fun things to do there, and the weather is almost always perfect. I'm from Dallas and I fly out to LA quite often just for fun on a weekend. You should also plan to visit Santa Catalina island, right off the coast, beautiful place and super nice town of Avalon there.
On the outside seeing the planes, the RB211 roars while the PW2000 thunders. Both have beautiful engine sounds. They at times can have similar "notes" but will always be different due to the fan blades, the cone that's in the very middle of the fan blades and the shape/size of the entire engine. ❤❤❤😊😊
Alright! Best part of the video was from 7:34-7:37!!!!(nice view of a NY Mets hat in the window reflection!!)😎👍🧢⚾🏟️ But in addition to that nice views of the water and the whole surrounding LA area after takeoff!!👍👍✈️🛫
