My Delta Airlines Flight Experience From Orange County To Salt Lake City - Weird Delay & Turbulence

Delta Airline Flight OC To SLC

[@slcbuilds3687]

That turbulence is standard operating procedure coming into salt lake city in summer afternoons. The thermals that come off the mountain range there create a lot of turbulence on warm days. Makes great hangliding or parasailing along the Wasatch front.

[@GDS_Michelle]

You’ve been going to scare nights for the past week and a half BUT it’s the airplane bell that scared you? You’re funny 😂❤

[@joep2576]

Hey Adam, those are static wicks protruding off the back of the wings, and not lightning rods! They allow static electricity build up to bleed off the aircraft. Safe travels!

[@AnimationGoneWrong]

almost "reverse lightning rods"! LOL

[@beckyyoung725]

I wonder if Adam reads comments 😊

[@JonLeary]

@@beckyyoung725 he does for sure

[@KathyHollister]

Adam, every time you show the plane wings, I think of the Twilight Zone episode with William Shatner.

[@trish5556]

Yes, I am surprised he does not mention that, but maybe he is afraid the flight attendant will hear him and get upset. Years ago my son told the stewardess there was something on the wing in a William Shatner voice and she was not amused!

[@ericlindenmuth7517]

Oh my gosh I would have taken the $800!! John Wayne has the steepest take off of any airport, because of the noise over the houses in Newport Beach. The engines are throttled back to slow the aircraft down to get more lift.

[@jimwest6571]

Yeah, I've flown out of John Wayne airport a couple of times and those noise-abatement takeoffs are a little un-nerving if you are not prepared for it. You take off fast and go to a very steep climb, then they throttle back the engines, and you get a "floating" and a little "sinking" feeling until they get over the ocean and then engines go back to normal. Another reason for that steep take-off roll is that John Wayne airport has a very SHORT runway, and the local surrounding cities won't let the runways be lengthened. At least that is what I was told by some local folks there.

[@Dawnfluh]

I always find your airplane travel vlogs so soothing. Your voice and the white noise from the plane is so calming 😌. I do agree with others that TSA Pre✅ is worth it. We don’t travel a ton and we love it!!! Stay well, Adam! Love from Wisconsin!

[@michellebrown6037]

Soothing indeed

[@Mystery_102]

Yes it will definitely put you to sleep. 🙄

[@marysalmon2367]

flew into salt lake airport recently and was also struck by its beauty. spent just a brief time there before driving up to Yellowstone. would love to go back and explore more, when its a bit cooler. I noticed many places out west do not use air conditioning, even the restaurants. very strange. I was informed by a Yellowstone employee that the electrical grid in the park cannot support air conditioning. i'll be interested to see what areas you explore next. And Delta is by far my favorite airline. Best customer service. And starbucks coffee.

[@Purdey921]

Flaps are the flight surfaces nearest the cabin. Ailerons are smaller near the wing tip. Spoilers are the larger ones toward the middle of the wing. They slow down the plane by stopping airflow, creating drag. If Lightining strikes a plane it can create St.Elmo’s fire. Maybe with the static rods on the fairings that doesn’t happen any more. Went to LA in the mid sixties and took off from O’Hare over an approaching thunderstorm. Awesome to see lighting going down from clouds beneath us!

[@sandrap6321]

I love how everything reminds Adam of something from the movies.

[@DisAmy33]

$800 if I didn’t have a planned event - I would’ve been up & out! 😂

[@randymccoy9189]

Best vloger on youtube hands down. Thanks Adam

[@peetie3970]

800 bucks for 4 hours of my time ...shoot sign me up

[@richardschindler8822]

The procedure you spoke of, the regrading of the engines after takeoff is what they call, noise abatement. There are a set of microphones off the end of the runway and if your too loud you can get fined. So you get what they call a high deck angle so you get higher up and away from the microphones. You also pull power back, not off !!!!! Then once you’ve passed the sound sensitive area on the ground it’s business as usual. How do I know this, I’m a retired corporate pilot and took off from John Wayne as well as many other airports that have the same procedure for takeoff oh so many times. Always fun .

[@Purdey921]

No stalls are a good thing!😊

[@patriottowing4973]

Looking out the window always makes me think of the old black and white movie about the creature out on the wing …either Hitchcock hour or the twilight zone it was a classic 😅

[@maureen14]

Me too

[@trish5556]

That was a Twilight Zone with a young William Shatner.

[@010102201]

You passing through those doors at Salt Lake made me think of the opening to the classic Get Smart LOL...safe travels my friend!

[@GregsGameRoom]

"Technology amazes me" you said. What blows my mind is how quickly we came from Kittyhawk in 1903 to the first Transatlantic passenger flight in 1939. We've been masters of the skies ever since!

[@IFIXCASTLES]

I have to agree Greg. Flying is simply amazing. I flew U control gas airplanes as a child. I built most of them from a balsa kit. The good old days!

[@rickstevens1479]

My Dad who was born in 1917 remembers when as a schoolboy his class would all run outside when they heard an airplane flying nearby.. from that to watching moon landings . We have all lived through so many changes .🤔

[@TheOriginalMaxGForce]

Masters of the skies? No. What we actually do is cram 200 people in a metal tube at 35,000 feet for 2 hours and dare God to kill us.

[@trumphatesyou]

The internet started around 94. So in a little less then 30 years we have gone from dial up to everything being reliable on the technology. So why do people say that time traveling can not be possible? The Terminator movies are becoming Sci-Fa!

[@cak5171]

Or the fact that we went from 1903 to landing on the moon in 66 years. That's so crazy to me.

[@OmnipotentEnt]

7:40 - you're correct, John Wayne has a super strict noise ordinance in place with a lot of considerations at takeoff. Airbus planes command you to pull back the throttle to the climb setting so there's always a thrust reduction, but especially noticeable at this airport. I fly 737s and do not enjoy flying in/out of this airport.

[@jennielauber8308]

I know the Salt Lake Airport well. It is weird to see you here in Utah and in CA near where I grew up. Happy and safe travels especially with the hurricane coming.

[@3897anel]

Oh no I was hoping to see you at Knott's Scary Farm Thursday! 😌

[@youmarc11]

$600!! For the $800 I would have jumped out in a parachute!

[@spacefren3826]

Did he show the people along the way so that we can people watch? No? Ok, I’m not watching the video. See ya.

[@mustangcindy1303]

I thought your flight number sounded a little familiar. One leg of my vacation that I took last week was Delta 2427. The numbers were just reversed for yours. Yeah I went through a lot of turbulence coming back to Orlando cause of the afternoon storms. The pilot actually had to stop the drinks and snacks from being served and told the flight attendants to get seated. I just watched the movie I was watching, “It’s A Wonderful Life” and didn’t even worry about it even though the plane was being jostled a lot.~~ Even though I don’t like being stuck in an airport for many hours I don’t think I would have passed up an offer of $800 to get on a later flight.

[@markthomas6980]

$5.69 for a gallon of gas. In Florida it’s $3.29

[@Naotakun]

Those lightning rods are to discharge static build up from friction with the air. However I still wanna see what you described! Hope you enjoyed the new Salt Lake Airport( opened about 2 years ago). My family loves it although if you have to go or come from terminal B it's a much longer walk. Hope you make it to the sandlot filming locations of you haven't yet.

Just 10 days ago I flew into Salt Lake City to transfer to Minneapolis. Where the airport is pretty, the lay out is nuts. I had to take steps down, walk a ways and then take stairs up to the next level and all the way down to the end to board my next flight. The airlines was also Delta. I was exhausted by the time I boarded my flight. I really don't like the Salt Lake City airport

[@susanboatman7913]

Good day, sir!

[@KB-xd5wq]

TSA Precheck.....try it. And speed brake slats on top of wings.

[@NewWaveFan1]

I was flying home from SLC in 1995. When the captain came on, and said, "Folks be patient we are trying to get the landing gear to come down to land safely, we will have to circle the airport for a few times first". Ha thought he was going to have to land it on its belly but finally the wheels came down.

[@SenatorBulworth]

If they offered $1,000 would you have bitten, ATW? $1,200?

[@Idreallyrathernotthanks]

"Um actually" plane guy here...lol Flaps...not technically wings. They lower in increments to generate lift that the plane needs as it slows down and naturally loses lift. Also used on takeoff to help get airborne and climb away from the ground quicker. Static wicks...discharge static electricity. Could be caused by lightning but also simply by friction of moving through the air or clouds. Don't want a spark near an engine or wing.

[@jimwest6571]
