Powerful United 737 MAX 9 Engine Start, Taxi, and Takeoff from Chicago O'Hare

[@bradfoster874]

The takeoff and thrust reversers on landling are my favorite. Love the rush.

[@westcoastaviation_]

Couldn't agree more!

[@DrBearAviation]

From your angle, we can clearly appreciate what a high bypass ratio engine really is.

[@westcoastaviation_]

The engine view was indeed incredible! Thanks!

How Cool😎Shot Of The Engine Love To Hear The Two CFM LEP-18 Turbofan Engines Starting Up

[@crphoto303]

It's so quiet onboard these that you can actually have a normal conversation.

[@RandolphMcguttersmelf]

It’s not the engines nowadays - it’s the wind going by at 500 mph and a/c blowing.

[@camagnew9191]

Beautiful take off…straight up…loud n proud! 20:37

[@camagnew9191]

Thank you for the tour of ORD taxiways. Great video👍

[@westcoastaviation_]

Thank you! :)

[@v1spotter]

Beautiful Leap-1B sound!

[@westcoastaviation_]

Agreed! Thanks! :)

[@ricardosam8050]

Lovely clear clip

[@westcoastaviation_]

Thank you!

Had to fly on one of these a few weeks back , and I remember I was told that it was one of the brand new maxs that were delivered to the airline just a few days prior. I was scared beyond belief and I remember during takeoff I had my eyes shut. I got off as a shaky mess afterwards. I still remember the tail number which was n8910q

[@westcoastaviation_]

I was definitely nervous myself, flying them for the first time!

[@Redacteddontaskwhy]

737 max's are perfectly safe.

[@paprika82]

Nice, "buzzsaw" from the TurboFans on takeoff!

[@stevenmascarin8016]

The 737max is my favorite one

[@bradfoster874]

Damn I got rush sitting at the table watching this.

[@westcoastaviation_]

Great to hear!

[@SYDAirlineEnthusiast]

Taxi seemed unnecessarily long as you circled around the airport by taxing to the north side and then back to the south side when you could have just gone straight to the south side.

[@westcoastaviation_]

KORD definitely has some unique taxi patterns. Thanks!

[@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102]

13:05 Construction on the satellite terminals for ORD21

[@westcoastaviation_]

There was so much construction! Thanks! :)

[@NZ255]

Long time to start those Leaps

[@westcoastaviation_]

Indeed, the sound is always terrific though! Thanks! :)

[@aviationandotherstuff6571]

Lol. Exactly what I was thinking. Compare to the 737 NG, these take an eternity 😊

[@Curvelz]

Fast taxi!

[@Transportationviews]

Why is the engine start so long on the max?

[@CngDelta757]

Bowed-Rotor motoring.

Hey man!

[@westcoastaviation_]

Hello! :)

[@tonyhernandez3227]

Destination???

[@westcoastaviation_]

Los Angeles :) Thanks!

[@candacepost2137]

Long ride on the taxi way. He didnt even take off on full runway.

[@westcoastaviation_]

Chicago O'Hare is truly a busy airport! Thanks!

The guy reading the instructions before takeoff made me cringe. He reads like a third grader! Otherwise, great video as usual!

[@westcoastaviation_]

Thank you!

[@HDNYCAviation]

20 min video - 18 on the ground and 2 in the air. Lol

[@joshuarees3722]

I've never flown in first class

[@westcoastaviation_]

I hardly ever fly first class, but when I'm able it's pretty nice! I hope you get the chance to soon!

[@TOXOTIS63]

@@westcoastaviation_ Is that First Class? Looks like Economy Plus, seat 7F

[@westcoastaviation_]

@@TOXOTIS63 Spot on! Economy Plus Seat 7F was my seat

[@mariamutz2452]

I never been in airplane

[@westcoastaviation_]

It's a very enjoyable experience to some and not for others. I hope you get the chance to soon! :)

[@DrBearAviation]

@@westcoastaviation_ It is always enjoyable for me, not matter how cramped the seat is, no matter how long the flight is, and no matter how badly flight attendants treat passengers. I do not mind even being in a cargo hold. 😄 As long as I am in the moving fuselage and knowing that engines are still spinning, I am happy and satisfied.

[@westcoastaviation_]

@@DrBearAviation That's great to hear!

[@tim4977]

Boring!

[@camerong819]

Then don't watch. 🤡

[@jace_Henderson]

@@camerong819i mean, he’s gotta watch it to know whether or not it’s boring right?
