Video of Delta 777-200LR arriving from JFK. The footage was taken back in January of 2020. Please enjoy the sights and sounds of a jet that was gone too soon.
I flew into Atlanta for the first time in 1985. Most recently a few months ago. Every single time I’ve gone down there, the landing has always been stormy, and or turbulent.😮😅
I love the 777. As somebody who doesn't really like to fly but will do it anyway, I never felt safer on any other plane than I did the 777. When those engines kick-in on the runway there is no doubt in your mind that you're going to be taking off. For me, it was comforting to feel that power.
This video was filmed right before Covid hit and changed everything. Oh if only the pandemic had never happened! We’d still have the 777’s from Delta 😞
@@tmalone2530 They were talking about it on CNN when we got to Atlanta. I still remember that. But at that time, they were only talking about it in China. How quickly things changed 3 months later.
Well, they do increase drag but really they are to increase lift at slower speeds by providing a greater wing surface and reshaping the wing to create different velocities between upper and lower airflows.
I remember in January 1993 I flew from LAX-ATL on an L1011. It was pea soup on arrival in Atlanta. I didn't see the ground until we were just above the runway about to touch down.
@@ForFlyingOutLoud Many airlines did, Lufthansa went as far as to un-retire their A380s by pulling them back out of the scrapyard. I wish AA did the same with their 757s, 767s, and A330s.
It was the camera seemed like he wasn't holding it right or the phone whatever he was using cause if you watch all these other videos on here they are basically flawless but this is still a good video tho don't get me wrong.
This really wasn't "stormy" weather -- just damp and very overcast (most of my trips to ATL in the past had been sunny and clear for the most part, however). The a/c was landing from the west with the approach to the east onto the northernmost runway (one of five parallel runways at ATL) looking north through the a/c window. There was no rain present at the time of landing nor indication of strong winds occurring (little or no turbulence at all in the video). As a retired flight attendant of over 35 years (Continental Airlines based in Los Angeles), the landing and approach here was a "piece of cake" -- a beautiful touchpoint landing by DL with the 777. ATL is not only the busiest airport in the world, it is also one of the very finest in the world!
"Please enjoy the sights and sounds of a jet that was gone too soon." Why was it gone too soon? Did the baggage handlers forget to unload your luggage?
I've noticed that on bigger jets, the first notch of reverse thrust is harder to hear than the last notch of reverse thrust. I don't know why, but every time I fly on a large jet it is hard for me to hear it. If the plane is heavier, then they may use the last notch which you can hear very clearly. Also after watching the landing after a while, you can hear the reverse thrust very faintly starting at 9:09 or so. It wasn't a long flight as it was from JFK.
