What a beast

[@clothestravel]

Omg I kept waiting for that flight attendant to shut the heck up so I could listen to the glorious sounds coming from the engine startups.

[@krazy330]

Very cool I was on this flight also. I was heading to Aspen, Colorado 👍

[@petrussian8253]

why are the ailerons so short on a big long wing? is it because the turn the aircraft with the rudder

[@bombaytaxidriver]

Noticed all the chimney smoke was blowing east to west, yet everyone was landing and taking off on the westerly's? Odd!

[@TB-um1xz]

Not really odd. It happens almost every day along the west coast shoreline.

[@xen_zz242]

Was the flight smooth

[@planesguy]

Very smooth and fast. Had an amazing tailwind the whole way.

[@767kevin]

woah didnt know they went to 753 for DEN; i remember it was 752 20yrs ago :D does anyone know why it makes the high pitched hum the whole flight? presuming PTU/hydraulics?

[@SYDAirlineEnthusiast]

I once flew on the 772 from den for sfo.

@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast they are running 772 from SAN - IAD right now to try and dominate Alaska Air’s new entrance to the market on that route resulting in a 70% capacity increase from their prior 737 equipment

[@SYDAirlineEnthusiast]

@@767kevin but that will cost more money in terms of fuel though. If it was a 787, then, money could be saved as less fuel is needed for a 787 to fly the distance a 777 would. A 787 would be more profitable than a 737 for this as less fuel is needed and more passengers can fit.

[@ecoRfan]

Believe that high pitched sound starting at the beginning of this is the hydraulics
