Used to work at Birmingham Airport with Swissport as an aircraft cleaner but recently got made redundant on 31st October because of covid now that it won't take until 2024 for the airline industry to fully return to normal.
Did the descent begin at around 15 minutes? I noticed the vibration of the engines completely down at 15:`16. I'd hoped you'd have kept it on, so we could hear the "bing" that the top of the descent and the slowing of the engines. That would have made it more complete. It's always cool to hear the announcement from the captain or the flight attendant when the descent begins, and that bell is always the best. Great sound, though, but I wondered why the captain didn't have it on full throttle for takeoff, but I guess I'll never know. I imagine there may have been a tailwind.
Planes don’t often use “full” throttle for take offs. The runway must be very short & the plane very heavy for the use of full throttle. It’s usually pre calculated “flexi” where lower thrust is needed. More economical and better for the environment. Certainly a 737 leaving Birmingham, without a full load of passengers on a very short flight to Ireland won’t use full power. Would have been a very low powered take off, as far as the 737 is capable
You still could have gotten the entire thing, now couldn't you? No offence, but at least once in a wile, could you capture an entire flight, especially such a short one? Also, you might be interested in flying the Alaska Milk Run which is 6 stops from Anchorage and 4 towns with the final stop in Seattle, Washington. It takes about 6 hours, but these are all 30 to 45 minutes flights except for the last one which lasts 1 hour 35 minutes. A couple other folks have done that, and you'll fly either a 737-7 or a 737-900. And, of course, the Max is back in the air! I'd go in July, because that's when the best prices are available, and the sun is up nearly 21-23 hours. It's just after the Summer Solstice,
