HEAVY United 777-300ER Takeoff in Frankfurt for 11 hour flight & En Route Views of Greenland

[@KingOrpheus]

I'm lucky enough to fly commercially quite a bit for work, but I will never understand how people are just not amazed at the concept of regular commercial flight. Every take off and every landing I remain in child-like awe after flying for over 40 years. This video was awesome. Thank you for sharing.

[@thekennethofoz3594]

I fully agree with you. I never had the chance to fly much at all, so now in retirement I do it when I can. Unfortunately, I have back problems which mean I really need to fly business class, so the cost reduces the number of flights I can take. ( Not to mention CoViD of course ). But I go for a window seat when possible. The feel of the power being applied on takeoff thrills me every time. Couldn't have imagined it 100 years ago. Glad to have lived in a time when it became not just possible, but routine.

@@thekennethofoz3594 Completely agree with you. I keep thinking that in another 100 years, trips around the solar system will be routine.

[@Atanu]

@Chowing Scovilles Same here. Been flying commercial for over 40 years, hundreds of flights -- and yet if you see me on a flight, you'd think that it was the first time I was on a plane. Take offs and landings are especially fun.

[@jcoopman43]

Yes, and in addition to that, your reply reminded me that flight itself happened during my late dad's lifetime! Although he passed away in 2012, he was born in 1925. We now think we've seen a lot in our lifetimes: I just imagine what he saw. Rather incredible, when one truly thinks about it all, and about what is often taken for granted these days. I'm not a pilot, but one son was an aeronautical engineering major (over my head, no pun intended!)

@@thekennethofoz3594 I flew across the pond 3x before I was even born (Pan Am 707's)....and I am always amazed, I flew yesterday and was totally entertained and enthralled!

[@nancywillis4400]

My husband flew B777 until his retirement in 2001. Thank you for showing me the beautiful sounds and sights he enjoyed for 37 years. I am thankful for the beautiful view he had before passing in 2018. He loved to fly and was very good at it. This warmed my heart, thank you!

[@nitzer280]

Everything about this is fascinating: the vapor, the sound, the wing flex, the aircraft shadows. Ahhh!

[@Sky.Dog757]

Nothing sounds better then the mighty GE90-115B! Safe travels bro!

[@maxenroute]

Thanks a ton

[@DullesPlaneSpotter]

I was in awe when I saw the footage over Greenland! What a great ride on this 777.

[@bombaytaxidriver]

What a beauty of an engine, and such a sweet melody as well!

[@christopherdaniel4841]

It is absolutely remarkable that we can fly between two very distant points on the globe in just a matter of hours, AND look down on Greenland in the process! How anyone can take that for granted is beyond me. Great video. Loved the takeoff and climb out too.

[@maxenroute]

My thoughts exactly

[@NikolaiUA]

That engine and the Greenland views are equally magnetic. Everything's amazing! The only thing the engine lacks is a human size figure for scale :)

[@aluediytb]

At first I was wondering what's the big deal about take off for 11 hours, and Greenland - then I watched - WOW!! Fantastic clip!

[@xeuropn]

I once flew from Frankfurt to San Francisco on a Lufthansa flight. It was also an 11 hour flight, and flew over the southern coast of Greenland. The pilot announced that passengers on the left side of the aircraft (747 Combi Freighter) could see icebergs on the ocean. Most amazing thing I ever saw.

[@andrewwilliams2193]

Wow, amazing footage of Greenland. Love it.

[@Justathought81]

3rd video ive watched of yours, and its starting to seem you are the king of Takeoffs, amazing shots man!

[@WorldEye88]

The power of the GE90-115B on a B773W

[@NickWmadevids]

Great video! Love hearing the power of those engines along with that wing view! Just curious, what did you use to shoot this?

[@maxenroute]

Thanks! iphone 13 pro max for this video

[@WSAirplanes]

You earned my like! excellent. You gotta love the mighty GE-90

[@sunbulah9779]

This plane most likely used runway 25C for an afternoon take off Westbound departure to SFO as you can see the “Glory” which is the airplane reflection or shadow on the cumulus clouds as the sun shining from the west . Beautiful.

[@sethexodus]

You can see the reflection on the cloud…🔥

[@locoHAWAIIANkane]

She’s on her way here to HNL rn as I write this. God I love those engines!

[@himat]

Wing flex is beautiful to watch

[@Atanu]

@Charly Prevost I always note how when the wing begins flying, how the end of the wing curves up just before rotation.

[@chadsheppard3576]

Definitely a long take off rolls but the GE90 is a beast with 115,000 thrust

[@nipafilms236]

That GE90 sound

[@TheTravelHappiness]

Great sound, great views! 😍

[@schumi246]

Do they line up two planes on the runway at a time there, too?? One at the end, and another about 1000 feet up. The last two times I’ve taken off out of a busy European airport, LHR and CDG, they did that. I was just wondering if that saves time for the plane in the back.

[@lonniepenner4381]

Beautiful departure and views of the mountains

[@stephenmaciolek1935]

Incredible views of Greenland! Awesome video.

Yep - agree. And, have literally 100s of photos of Greenland from yrs of SFO-LHR R/T on VA. "POSH" is the way to get those views...

[@Guerry-3]

Alrighty! I’m so glad to have caught your latest posting on a day I had time to view it. This is your pal from Virginia, Guerry, and I have missed viewing and then making snide remarks about your show. You already mentioned that you were in the experimental stage of using your new camera. I wish I knew something offhand to tell you to help you correct the problem, but I only use my iPhone to make calls. But for what its worth, it appears to be a post-production problem, especially if the video looks good from your downloading it from your camera. Whenever you fly into and out of Frankfurt, is your business in the city, or do you get to drive to some other city? Back when I frequently flew into Frankfurt, United Airlines used Terminal 1, which was being renovated at that time. I just remember that when my flight arrived, so did a lot of other aircraft from countries where they had different hygiene practices. The renovation amassed all of us “Other than EU” passengers together to pass through customs in an area where the ventilation did not operate very efficiently. When I finally made it to my baggage claim, I really felt like showering. From that date forward, I flew Delta to and from Frankfurt, because it used Terminal 2, which was much nicer. Anyway, I hope you were not confined to Frankfurt and were able to get out and visit some of the other places outside of the big city. Indeed, the video of Greenland was very impressive. I would have enjoyed seeing more of it. I did have a flight that flew over Greenland once, but it was mostly overcast, and I was only able to view a small portion of the island. The view you gave us had me thinking of my Ranger School days, when the instructors used demolition to break up the lake ice for us to practice water confidence tests. Let’s just say that a cold shower really does not replicate my experience. How was your flight, though? Did they keep you filled with meals and adequately lubricated with adult beverages? I know the airlines have really cut back on their services, but I hope it is not the case on an 11 hour flight. Well, that is about all I can contribute by way of a comment. Thank-you for sharing. As always, I’m looking forward to viewing your next one.

[@curtislow4711]

Want to see wings flex? Find an airbase where they have B-52s or U-2s. Now those wings really flex as the aircraft lift off. And they are using engineering developed at least 70 years ago.
