AirTran 717-200 Full Departure from Orlando with Safety Announcements (GREAT ENGINE SOUND)

[@NickChangArt]

That engine spool-up brings back memories from my first airplane trip. I was in second grade going to L.A. on an American Airlines 767. all the newer planes like the A330s don't have that epic spool-up anymore.

[@Jeffh737]

I agree, the taxi isn't as fun anymore without hearing the spool up! Even some newer A320s are so quiet and it's just dull! Thanks for sharing a memory!

[@Jeffh737]

It is impossible to comprehend the sensation one feels at 11:50 , that is the best part of any flight, and with thousands of flights each day, several hundred thousand can sit back, and relish the feeling of departure....

[@airtrafficman972]

The engine sounds at takeoff and during taxi are spectacular, but my favorite part is most definitely the engine start at 4:05. WOW!! The deep rumble of engine start, while it does seem to be louder on the 717 than say a 737, is something that many aviation videos don't capture very well. So awesome video man! (despite the dirty windows on those old birds ;-) )

[@Jeffh737]

Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate your generous feedback. I definitely agree that the sound of the 717's engines is one of the nicest noises I've ever heard. I also really like the sound of the Embraer 145s, now that's an incredible spool up, especially for an RJ.

[@airtrafficman972]

Jeffh737 I've never flown on an ERJ and haven't watched many videos of them but now i know what spool up to look up next time, thanks for the suggestion!

Southwest FL Jets the 717's are new so they maybe 7 or 6 years old.

I've departed on this runway with Southwest on Nevada One! I remember the blue hangar in the background, because it was my old spotting location before a relocated to Tampa.

[@Jeffh737]

Thank you! Yeah I'm really looking forward to see them with Delta, but I sure will miss seeing Citrus...this truly is the end of an era.

[@imready31]

I feel the same way about Delta's DC-9-50 fleet. I LOVE THE DC-9-50s. Im really gonna hate to see them go. But like I said earlier, the 717-200 will be welcomed in my book!!!

[@skaterkid901]

If I may, for us impatient folk - for the engine spool sound, go from 11:10

[@imready31]

Very nice video. Can't wait until they are in Delta's fleet, hopefully flying out JAN. Really wanted Southwest to take them but oh well!!!!

[@Jeffh737]

Thanks Brandon bro!

[@tomcat561]

great sounds!

[@Jeffh737]

Thanks man!

[@SirensAndElevators]

No other aircraft has a better spool up than these! And I'll be flying one on Delta in less than two weeks! And yes I made sure my seat is in the back

[@Jeffh737]

***** Haha good, no better seat than right next to those engines! Enjoy your flight!

[@Jeffh737]

Thank you, that was my intention, to bring the average youtube viewer on a flight!

[@robertchutney]

Nice, but the taxiing was endless:-)

[@Jeffh737]

Goodness gracious you are correct! I have no idea what I was thinking sharing this monster long departure. But then again, many do like the taxiing and safety announcements.

[@Jeffh737]

Yeah, its ashame :/
