Delta A220 Rocket takeoff from John Wayne Orange County airport 

"Shhh!! Be very quiet! We are flying over rich people's neighborhoods." A direct quote from one of the flight attendants on a Southwest departure during that "Rocket Ride" takeoff.

It's always fun sitting next to a nervous passenger taking off from SNA. They get really nervous when they hear the engines rev down.

I love the rocket take-offs from John Wayne Airport especially when there was only 11 people on board an Alaska Airlines MD-80 years ago!

In nineteen eighty six we flew out of john wayne airport in a 737-300 and captain anounced the steeper take off and said engines will be pushed to 100%,i loved it!!!

I live about 8 miles from SNA directly under the most frequently used flight path. The sound of the P&W engines are very unique which must be due to the geared fans. Very much a mechanical whine as the engine speed changes. Before I retired I worked a lot with Bombardier on a new type of galley refrigeration mainly because the electrical generators are not operated at a constant speed so the frequency changes in line with the engine revolutions. Unfortunately I retired before before the C series entered commercial service so never got to fly in it. I wish it every success.

The “Whale sound” of the A220’s engines are amazing at 1:36

Very smooth and quiet take-off.

Love the sound of those Pratt & Whitney 1500's!!!

Oh yea SNA...A noise ordinance airport, don't wanna disrupt the snobby's below.

Views of that coastline never get old! Great engine view as well!

SNA's take off path goes over super wealthy areas of Newport Beach, so they hold back after off the ground and quietly slips out to the oceans before they are allowed to rev up the engine again. If you have a funny captain, he/she may say "shh... we are flying over rich people, so we have to be quiet..."

I absolutely want to fly out of there for this E-Ticket rocket ride experience. Can’t wait!!

Flying out of John Wayne is quite an experience. One of my favorite small airports.

Love taking off from John Wayne, The rocket take off and the bit of a drop to level off is crazy fun! I miss visiting California and SNA. Thanks for the great footage.

Beautiful humming engines.

anyone who has taken off from SNA knows that feeling of weightlessness when the plane levels off. Sometimes you will get an audible gasp from other passengers when who aren't expecting it.

SNA Noise Abatement Procedure. Its mostly a pitch maneuver for the first 1,000 feet. Computer spits out 2 different pitch attitudes to fly. One for climb to 1,000 feet and the other for the level off as the engine cutback begins. No configuration changes till you clear the shore line or specific DME. Clean up and off you go after that.

My grandparents live under that flight path. They bought the house in 1950.

Superb clip! I'm glad you posted a video highlighting the A220's specialty: Easily launching from short runways!

Brings back good memories. When I was a kid I would fly every summer from Idaho where I lived to visit my grandparents in Newport Beach. I always loved the steep SNA takeoffs. Was really fun when I got to takeoff in a UAL 757 from there.

What a beautiful view 😍

We took off from there years ago right after they made the rule. I didn't really notice much difference other than leveling off sooner, which is fine with me.

Beautiful!

I used to fly in & out of John Wayne SNA a lot. Takeoff out of SNA is like a roller coaster ride. Once, right after takeoff, right when they throttle down the engines over Newport to quiet the noise and the plane is vulnerable, we had a bird strike. Something large and white whizzed beneath my window and hammered into the starboard engine. It was a large pelican. Luckily, it bounced off the engine housing, instead of getting sucked INTO the engine. Had that happened, I might not be typing this.

1:52 great engine sound of takeoff

I flew on a Delta A220 for the first time a couple months ago, from BOS to DFW and back. Nice, comfortable plane!

Steepest rate of climb that I remember from childhood is, 757 (with Rolls Royce RB211s) and MD 83.

That spool up though 🔥🔥🔥

Really nice footage.

Amazing performing the shorter takeoff of the A220! 🤩🛩️🛫

Those silent PW engines make me miss the 757 even more

AMAZING

Ahh yes John Wayne. Don't want to break that Noise Abatement over New Port Beach.

Glad Harrison Ford was not flying in while they were taxi/hold on runway. The reason for that dramatic noise abatement people are all the old cronies in Laguna and Newport Beach who don't like airplane noise from their multi-million dollar mansions. I say make NOISE, BE LOUD!

Love the a220

Very swift indeed!

Experienced that take off and levelling on an America West 737 a very long time ago. The pilot did warn us.

Some P&W, GE and RR engines are humming for spooling up the throttle.

I had been warned about the take off from Orange County.. Basically they lock the brakes put the engines to the wall. and release the brakes. Once you reach a certain altidue they idles the engines and you coast until you are clear of the residential areas.. It's wild I can tell you that..Thankfully the captain came on and told s exectly what was going on since this was going to be a very differnt take off..

Probably only 85-90% thrust too. Sweet airplane.

Fantastic stuff - Perfect view of the entire engine nacelle and the wing. Good luck on the channel keep it up! 5:18 would make a better thumbnail also

Excellent 👍 subscribed

Excellent video. Do you use a suction cup mounted to the window? If so, which one? Thx

Nice takeoff with *no buzzsaw!* 🤩🤩🤩

This is awesome, what camera did you use? Quality is on point!

Those Pratt & Whitney engines are so quiet!

Damn I need to fly out of here someday. My upcoming trip will be out of LAX.

Great vid! What seat is this?

the a220 can take off really quickly if its half empty. the problem is when its a full plane with tons of bags

I've been on planes that take off like this out of Sacramento so many times I've lost track and this doesn't look any different to me. I don't get what the point here is maybe I need to actually be on a plane taking off from this airport because it doesn't appear to be out of the ordinary. Should fly lower, or slower, don't commercial airlines cruise at over 30,000 feet? How should they get there?

Those engines are really quite

But note how _quiet_ the A220 is, thanks to the PW1100G geared turbofan engines. As a result, this type of plane is well-suited for the type of noise-restricted airports like SNA.

My mother and I went to visit my brother for Thanksgiving about 7 years ago originally had LAX tickets and he made us change them over to John Wayne because it was easier for him to pick up which makes sense but then everyone started telling me about to takeoff from John Wayne and how scary it is and I’m not freaked out passenger not horribly but it still seems unnatural So Everyone’s telling me how scary these pick ups off I start looking on RU-vid and watching them in hearing about what it feels like and you’re being very prepared to be scared I couldn’t tell any difference because it was a great pilot or I feel that up a lot more in my head I mean I have to admit I have flooding literally the worst weather consistently I’ve told people if you’re scared of the weather I don’t get on the plane. And honestly that was probably some of the best weather ever flown in. LoL

Why does the A220 need this noise abatement protocol when it is already very quiet? Shouldn't the regulations allow exceptions?

Looks like a bit of rust on the wing above the engine mount. 😲😲😲

Why does the engine reach full takeoff power after staying at moderate takeoff power for a few seconds?

Sad Airbus lover noises!!! Lol!!! 😂

You'd think spooling back the engines on that plane would create more noise if it caused the whale song noise to happen over Newport Beach.

It’s a great aircraft, low noise level, smooth takeoff. But as far as rocketing is concerned, the 717 beats it. And the MD-90 beforehand.

damn

Do they ever land and takeoff going east or does the wind always come from the ocean?

Idk why these engines need to be revved down. They're so quiet. Only on a v2500 they would need to throttle down

The first time I ever took off at John Wayne I though I was gonna die. No heads up from the pilot like they seem to always do now...

Noise abatement is mandatory at this airport

Noise abatement. Pilots sometimes warn the passengers of steep climb-outs.

The runways are so short it's like being flung from a slingshot!

It’d be kinda funny if you’re next to a nervous passenger and when the engines spool down a bit you yell” OH SHIT THE ENGINE FAILED”.

Departure in 757 is even better.

that PW is quiet!.. oh were in the air now? lol

The engine howl 😩😩😩

Noise Abatement

A220s sound more like Airbus planes than CRJs. They don’t sound like CRJs at all.

One of THE QUIETEST jets in the short haul market right now. And they FAR surpass the Boeing MAX's. Look for them to take over in the near future folks.

Nothing unusual at the airport you can’t fly your aircraft in there if u can’t do that. It’s required to operate out of the airport

i see a normal take off.....whats the big deal?

What’s the fuss about here?

like taking off from an aircraft carrier

Noise abatement No Rocket Quiet Please

😂😢👧

I hate how quiet this plane is.

Definitely not a 757.

A noise ordinance at an airport? Really?

People: Let's move near an airport under the flight path. Same people: Oh it's so loud, let's complain about it. Idiots.

It became an Air Bus due to D J Trump parts made in Belfast

Weak as shit. 757 makes noise

Who cares...French Jet...lib

What current plane would you ..could you compare the 220? 737 700? 319?
