STUNNING MOUNT RAINIER VIEWS | Delta 737-800 Takeoff from Seattle 

Wow! Thank-you so much for sharing. You most certainly captured some “National Geographic” moments with this video, and I cannot think of very much else that will have such a lingering effect in my mind forever. The only truly stunning view I ever experienced was on a flight from LAX to SEA, as we passed over Mt. St. Helens. It looked as if God had taken a giant ice cream scoop against the top and side of a mountain. Forgive my rather lengthy comment, but for years I was stationed at Ft. Lewis in the mid 1970’s, which is just south of Tacoma, and this video brought back so many memories. I had forgotten that it took only about 45 minutes of driving east before we got out of that huge basin of the Sea-Tac area that holds the overcast for about the entire year. But on days when it was clear, there was this certain spot on Ft. Lewis from which we were able to view both the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges. But the one event I remember most about my experience with Mt. Rainier was when a couple of buddies and I took our girlfriends on a day trip to the mountain in the winter. On the way up and when we hit the snowline, we put the chains on the tires, hooked some ropes to the car, and skied up the road on our boots as the car towed us. Then we stopped at this lodge for some hot drinks, and then we headed back. Indeed this is sort of the “Reader’s Digest” version of the day, but it is my most memorable experience with Mt. Rainier. Again, thank-you for posting this video and sharing your experience with us. I am looking forward to viewing your next post.

I was fortunate enough to see Mt Rainer on my flight and it is Majestic! I had never seen a mountain like that before and the one thing that blew my mind was that Mt Rainer is nearly "just" half the height of Mt Everest!

My goodness, this is some of the best footage I've seen! Great job.

Wow. That view of Mount Rainier. 😍😍😍 I flew from Seattle to San Francisco a few months ago and We could see Mount Rainier too but nowhere near this close. 😲

I loved taking off from SeaTac and the view of Mr. Rainer.

My wife and I love SeaTac we visit Mount Rainier every year we stay at Packwood Lodge we love to drive up to the visitor center at Rainier

Thank you for reposting this segment of your trip report. Magnificent! I had fun trying to spot old climbing routes from 45+ years ago.

Absolutely stunning.

Fantastic footage on-board the Delta Airlines Boeing 737-800 taking off at Seattle-tacoma International Airport to Salt Lake City mate

Oh man, that engine sound is like music to my ears. Amazing video, btw, love it

Awesome views!

Mt Rainier reminds me of a pimple on the earths surface!

Fantastic video Alex!! :D

Very nice. Takeoff was northbound. You could see the Olympic mountains to the west. Then briefly Mt. Baker towards Canada as the plane banked east. Then Glacier Peak with Bellevue and Lake Sammamish around 5:00. Then of course Rainier.

There’s also a golf course by the runways at the airport.

Super good!

Amazing video!!!

delta airlines should do more UK Europe routes. agreed.
