Lufthansa Airbus A340-600 - fantastic take-off in Newark into the Sunset

Lufthansa Airbus A340-600
D-AIHQ
July 20 2011
Fantastic evening take-off on RWY 22R into the Sunset bound for Munich Germany.
Nice views of New Jersey, the new Meadowlands Stadium including the U2 360 tour stage - they played there that night, Upper Manhattan including George Washingtone Bridge and then Upstate New York.
Fligh time to Munich that night was 7 hours and 12 minutes

I love this plane so much! Almost cried when I heard they are discontinuing them. :(

[@larissaa3465]

dont worry you can still order that planes and they are still in service they are out of production because the orders given for that type were finished and all orderd planes were produced

[@chrispaw1]

DragonLady895 you cannot order this plane anymore. It will not be produced again.

[@ChrisZoomER]

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen!

[@jaiiwg5570]

A340-600 is one of my favourites. Gotta love the long & slow takeoff. :)

[@mono14]

thank you for not adding music to this amazing clip. the plane done the singin, excellent.

[@SeaForests]

Agree, some airplane videos have the music in the background for the entire video, ITS SO ANNOYING!😭

[@aspirem3802]

Gonna miss the A340... It has FOUR engines!

[@aspirem3802]

***** no it is out of production due to the fuel consumption and b777 competition

[@VoraciousAvgeek]

Actually it has 2 decks it has stairs down to lavarotory

[@nintendoshark]

+Lone Peak Ski Bum But I like the single decker quad-jets the most. That the 747 and A380 has 4 engines is still not the same...

[@mrshadow5132]

I flyed one of these

[@energybengt]

You have captured the elegant and fantastic beauty that is one of the favorite things of my being alive in this universe! The mood of a dusty sunset takeoff .... that embryonic feeling of being encapsulated aboard a self-propelled craft of such power and independence .... soaring into the skies above our earth ... it never gets common to me, never loses it's romance, excitement, thrill or magic. I LOVE the sound of jets. It's like being in the womb again!!!! Coziest place to be is in a jetliner!

[@dbn52]

I have no words to describe the sunset.No matter how many times I watch this it is totally breathtaking

[@markusanttila1544]

Nice that you zoomed at the Meadowlands Stadium (video 4min.15sec). Me an my wife were there just then enjoying U2 - 360' Tour concert. (Well, maybe the concert was already over during this flyby) Somehow this video took me back to that unforgettable night in my life.

[@VoraciousAvgeek]

MY FAVORITE AIRCRAFT

[@gaatutube]

Thank you ... I felt like I was sitting inside ... very smooth and quiet takeoff.

[@hansentj]

You know why this video feels so good? Because you're leaving Newark. Leaving Newark is the most rewarding feeling in the world. You know....because it's Newark.

[@TeanoZ]

BRAVO! I loved it when the Landing Lights were turned on! I got so excited and I wasn't even the one flying!

[@Noble6233]

Simply Beautiful.

[@AndrewTGreen]

Those ARE nice sounding engines. Thanks! Shouts to all you engine lovers!

[@TheMarcogoon49]

truly fantastic video...can't stop watching it....the view...whoa!

[@planecrush772]

WOW!!!What a beautiful dusk at NYC...Thx for sharing

[@niklakislakis6557]

Oh how I love that sound...peace of mind!!...yeah

[@gunnerjohnson4103]

Those Trent 500s have a calm sound

[@kenpalmer1965]

This is a fabulous video and I absolutely love it! I especially like the view of the parked planes in the background before the plane actually takes off as well as the all of the runway and terminal building lights. The view of the highway,freeway or interstate as the plane leaves the grouns is also awesome. Great job!

[@RazorBackBone]

One of the BEST take-off videos I have ever seen!! Very few have taken going into the sunset. I really enjoyed it so much, thanks so much buddy, keep up the good work!

[@roybatty100]

just stunning,thanks for posting

[@SilverCloud50]

One of the most beautiful videos ever seen. I have never tried to takeoff in that time of the day before, but I wish that I will experience something like that someday.

[@GaCCow]

Nothing better then seeing a city from above at night! It amazing how big some cities are:)

[@stuies4100]

Easily the best take off video on youtube

[@654321825]

This video has been in my Recommendations List for like 4 months, decided to check it out, and uhh.... it was well worth my time. Good job :)

[@kharnakcrux2650]

Always try to schedule for sunset takeoffs. gets me teary eyed every single time.

[@stevezr1059]

This is one of the best take-off videos I have seen. Excellent job and thanks for keeping the sight on the leading edge of wing instead of panning around the cabin. Keep up the great work.

[@energybengt]

Yes. I haven't often flown through to dawn or dusk landings ... but that is a special feeling for sure. Enjoyed your description here too ... all these magical things in our world around us! It's easy to take things for granted, but it's just as easy to appreciate them and get excited about things too, from an ant crawling on a sidewalk to the hydraulic whir made by flaps extending outside your window at 20,000 feet (or whatever altitude)!

[@alext2963]

wow, great views. stadium and night lights. Very nice

[@mariababyface]

Beautiful. The smoothest take-off. Thanks for the upload :-)

[@GustavoDeSantaFe]

Simply marvelous. Thank you for sharing!

[@loveaviation]

great video. I go to newark often since i live close and just watch the planes taking off and landing there for hours at a time.

[@compteck7]

I love how the A340 is bashed by so many and yet it is the only aircraft that can make the worlds longest non-stop flight.

[@MrOvnours]

Wonderful sound! So cosy and mild...

[@TheSteve6912]

Thank you jay for the info on this particular aircraft.

[@jarashawixzagzoog]

Amazing video ! I miss being in an airplane !

[@Jeff-xr2eq]

That sound is like no other on the a340-600!! Pure power!!!

[@ursa41]

BEAUTIFUL AND BREATHTAKING!!!!!!!!!! Reminds me of the annual trip to Spain my wife and I take every year to visit family & friends in September, on an Iberia Airlines Airbus 340 out of JFK to Madrid !! Just watching this vid gave me goosepimples! Soon we will experience this AGAIN..October 5th departure! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING...LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Kyleinasailing]

Actually, the A340 - 500/600 are brilliant aircrafts. But fuel prices have killed four engines. Ask the people who fly them.

[@streamingeagle1]

fuel prices are so low now, historically low. I don't buy this argument.

[@speedbird1598]

And low fuel prices mean twinjets are even cheaper. a 777-300ER does the job as good as an A340 or better no matter what.

[@limitlessmaxmode5668]

I hate the A-340,it seems the sick brother of then747 :-/

[@seboll13]

The thing is, aircrafts like A350-900, 77L or 77W can do better than the A340 today as they consume less fuel and can fly further. It's probably why the A340 disappeared. But I agree, the -500/600 versions are probably some of my favourite aircrafts.

[@visionist7]

@@speedbird1598 it doesn't do the job better than an A340 when you lose and engine over the middle of the ocean ;-)

[@MrBear1967]

Incredible job...loved every second of it

[@ursa41]

Thank you.I was probably so enthused in watching the vid I paid it no mind at first. Excellent!

[@Ashraf300991]

Beautiful take off at sunset ... Two thumbs up....

[@MrMillenium67]

[@jsnnav17]

Once again great video!! You never let me down!

[@zyrtec3]

Love the 0:50 sight of the cones accelerating plus the air moisture condensing at the inlets! Awesome!

[@vitam25]

Nice video for a nice moment. Thanks for posting.

[@brkitdwn]

gorgeous aircraft and livery

[@JuanGMartinez]

Very nice video, stable. Great sunset also. Thanks

[@piotrek556655]

What a fantastic views.... wow

[@dennispnut]

Amazing sound. Really thanks.

[@youchris67]

That "buzzing" noise from the engines that you hear when you sit in front of them is the main fan blades chopping up the air. Analogous to propellor blades if you were riding in a turboprop airplane. Man, how cool those engines sound as they rev up for takeoff and power down after takeoff. Glad to know they're other nerds like me who who pay attention to this stuff.

[@tankman_tv9332]

Its actually the fan blades going supersonic, which makes that low pitched buzz, the high pitched scream is probably the fan blades cutting the air

[@xhighalert]

Wow, I love the condensation from air pressure when they spool up.

[@ryxtoob]

Thanks for these videos, very nice camera work and so picturesque. Looks like a very pleasant flight indeed, I saw the landing one as well.

[@sh1886]

Well, this video is awesome , just the sound of jet engine!! After a bad day this helps me so much more than anythin else!!!love it
