Approach and Landing on Runway 27 Center at Chicago O'Hare
As we approach O'Hare, we fly north along the Fox Valley western suburbs. Then, a right turn eastbound flying over the close in northwest and north shore suburbs exiting out over Lake Michigan near Wilmette/Winnetka. Another series of right turns gets us lined up for runway 27 Center. Just before landing you can see the lights of runway 22 Right. As we rollout, note the China Airlines 747 freighter on the north cargo ramp with its red blinking collision lights on.

Finally! Smooth Air!
Переглядів 2721 годину тому
We finally smooth out at 35,000 feet about 40 to 50 miles northwest of Memphis Tennessee over northeast Arkansas. Pretty much a smooth flight the rest of the way to Chicago. Our flight path took us just to the west of the Missouri bootheel, the western suburbs of St. Louis, then we crossed over into Illinois near Quincy.
BUMPY BUMPY BUMPY!!!

Almost continuous light to moderate turbulence since we left Houston. When the flight attendant makes the announcement about staying seated with your seatbelt securely fastened in case of rough air, you best be heeding that suggestion/warning for sure! I don't think a suction mounted GoPro on the window would have helped to steady the filming.
Mother Nature's Fireworks Show
Переглядів 4021 годину тому
Quite the fireworks show from 34,000 feet. Lots of lightning from several different thunderstorm cells. Had the seatbelt cinched up tight. Glad I was not underneath one of them! The fading evening twilight made for a nice backdrop too.
Troublesome Thunderstorms Detour
Переглядів 13921 годину тому
We were a good 20 maybe 30 miles east of this cluster of storms but still plenty bumpy. Seat belt cinched up tightly! This cluster of storms was situated mainly around the Lufkin, Sam Rayburn Lake Texas and extended eastward to the Toledo Bend Lake area along the Texas/Louisiana border, then extending to just west of Shreveport. Great lightning display as it got dark.
Runway 15 Left Take Off
Переглядів 303День тому
We follow a United 737 for runway 15 Left. On 15 Right, you see a United A319 followed by an A320 getting ready for take off on the parallel. Enjoy the sounds of those Pratt & Whitney's spooling up with that "wookie" sound effect. Tremendous roar and thrust as we zoom down the runway!
Hydraulic Pump Action and Engine Start Up

Love the sound of those hydraulic pumps doing their thing. And then the Pratt & Whitney engine start ups. MMMMM....music to the ears!
Push Back from Gate C45
Переглядів 240День тому
30 minutes late on push back due to a 15 minute ground stop, T-Storms of course, ATC spacing and a luggage snafu. The 737-8 Max you see off our left wing tip just arrived from Tampa. The triple 7 with the elevated catering cart at the open aft door followed us out as we taxi to Runway 15 Left.
Descent and Approach Runway 26 Right in Houston
Переглядів 142День тому
Finally, our descent and approach to Houston's 26 Right. Love seeing the condensation streamers when the flaps are deployed. I could kick myself for messing up filming the actual touchdown and rollout. Sorry about that. We actually arrived about 5 minutes early. Already a humid 82 degrees at quarter to nine in the morning.
My O'Hare to Houston Trip
Переглядів 8День тому
Flew on a United A321NEO from Chicago to Houston on Tuesday, September 24th. Very cloudy, rainy, and foggy on the trip down until we crossed over into Oklahoma from Missouri. Wound up videoing the seatback IFE to track the progress of the flight. Kudos to United for a great IFE system. Really liked using it. Cabin on the 321NEO is top notch too. Very comfortable seat and legroom too. In fact, I...
Right Hand Dogleg Turn towards Houston

We pass by just to the east of Shreveport Louisiana, and once we get to Alexandria we make our sharp almost 90 degree turn to the west and head towards Houston.
Mid Flight Snack and Drink
Переглядів 15День тому
Continuing our flight to Houston we leave Missouri and extreme eastern Kansas and head into Oklahoma where it finally cleared up enough to view the ground. Flew right smack dab over downtown Tulsa which was cool to view from 34,000 feet. Pre-ordered that trail mix for 6.00 USD which was just a smidge pricey, but not unreasonable in my opinion. Bag was large and very full and fresh too. Apprecia...
Landing back at O'Hare on Runway 28 Right
Переглядів 1103 місяці тому
This is the last video in my series of six videos of my round trip from O'Hare to Minneapolis aboard a Delta 717 MD95 Mad Dog. We landed a few minutes early and fortunately for us, the thunderstorms stayed west and south of the field. Geez, even with eight runway choices at O'Hare, there was still a rush hour back-up in the take-off cue. I counted 15 planes waiting for take-off!
Fast Taxi and a TURN AND BURN
Переглядів 3013 місяці тому
Nobody was in front of us this evening, so we boogied right along at 13 to 15 knots to runway 30 Left for take off. Pilot put the pedal to the metal when we lined up. Listen to the sound of those Rolls Royce BR700-715's come to life as we roar down the runway!!! After a series of shallow right hand banks, we proceed east-northeast bound somewhere over North Central Wisconsin between Rhinelander...
Pushback Complete...Engine Start Up
Переглядів 1583 місяці тому
Pushed back two minutes ahead of schedule from gate F1. Cool sounds of number one engine first, then number two second. Registration Number N989AT. Note the regular non-neo A321 at the gate next to ours. Got a great view of the engine nacelle, flaps, spoilers/speed brake, ailerons from seat 26A.
