For the first time in nearly two years, the Boeing 737 Max took to the skies above the United States, with paying passengers onboard. I was one of those passengers. I recorded the entire flight, in crystal clear 4K, so you too can fly on this historic flight! Join me on American Airlines flight 718 from Miami to New York.

I'm very happy to have that kind of support my friend. I try not to be one of those channels who has "too many" ads. I've seen some channels who have 12 ads for a 8 minute video. I try to limit them to an acceptable number. Thanks for the support!

@@sla31 Maybe next time...a view with the front of the engine??? I think that would be really cool

[@sla31]

I try to have a good mix of in front of and behind the wing. Assuming schedules don’t change, I do have some United 737-9 Max flights coming up where I will be in front of the engine. If you don’t want to wait for those new videos. You can always check out my first flight on the max. I was in front of the engine on that flight. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmfWpmtvbN5padE

Great flight dude! Especially loved the approach! Glad to have the MAX back! 😁✈️👍

[@sla31]

I'm glad to have the Max back too. Thanks for watching!

[@ktjmitchell7722]

I’ve been waiting a long time for this! Can’t wait to jump on one in June!

[@sla31]

Thanks for watching my friend!

[@trainguy7261]

A perfect flight!! Nothing wrong with the MAX with the updated software. All of the grounded MAX planes will return to flight in the coming months. Good job!!!

Wow looks stunning even in 1080p on my iPad Pro!👍

I think the scariest part for me is how i couldn’t tell whether this video was from microsoft flight simulator or real life lol

[@showmoke]

Yeah, I know - flight simulators for PC's these days are getting hard to distinguish from the real thing. I use X-Plane 11 myself and with enhanced detailed payware addon scenery, it looks really great.
