[@MarechalAviador]

This captain is so kind and nice.

[@burnabyemergencyphotograph8683]

MTNR Aviation you could say that again.

[@ThomasNovLoh]

I like that sound of the CFM56 engines.

[@stupidgoose356]

ThomasNovLoh still not better than the Trent XWB

[@BGFutureBG]

And that was only a FLEX takeoff setting. The roar on TO/GA is even better on them :P

[@speedbird1668]

the best feeling is when the pilots advance the throttles all the way and feeling the aircraft race down the runway and takeoff!

[@deeanna8448]

Definitely! I love that feeling!

[@oofie2315]

I always feel like I forgot something

[@davidtsw]

Yeah except for when you're in the A340 in which case they advance the throttles all the way and nothing happens.

[@brianbarry5039]

@@davidtsw you could make the same case for the a330 and a320 as well.

[@misterak4603]

indeed

[@Thunderdog73]

Excellent crew on a great scenic climb-out...thank you!

[@paulmendonca4766]

The night take off was amazing. Played this video twice with head phones.
Best job in the world

[@anostalgic3402]

Just don’t know how to explain it, but damn there is just something so special and exciting about these dawn departures from SoCal towards Europe 😍

[@dankuettel5063]

SWISS....my favorite. BTW, I have ground handled the Challenger that was behind them many times. Its a small world

[@examfinger8461]

Perfect vid. Thank you for filming

[@MattsAviationChannel]

Great video of this Swiss A340! Huge like!!

[@shahimagesyt]

I really miss the Swiss A343s at SFO. But the 77Ws aren't bad either.

[@Aviationist2k24]

Another amazing video from JP you are the best love the footage keep em rolling

[@justplanes]

Thank you very much Richy! Very kind of you.

[@Aviationist2k24]

I'm from New Zealand so I'm wondering if your have any air newzealand aircraft footage that would really top the cake if yous posted that thanks

[@kristensorensen2219]

Always enjoy Swiss Air; great professional crews and real service.

[@max20817]

This must be the best job in the world

[@justicewarrior9187]

Thank you so much!
I would like to see more of the flight planing 👍

[@FlyersAviation]

Sensational Footage JustPlanes Team!👍

[@valoriepoindexter8173]

I look at every one of these videos, and i'm just still amazed at how and why anyone would want to do THIS, I love to see the scenery from up in the Sky ✈❗😨😐

[@vagasint.4345]

Valorie Poindexter lol it is great when you can get a glimpse of it. The thing is your are so busy flying you don’t have much time to enjoy the view
It’s still a great and fulfilling job.

[@nankervisj]

Interesting that a lot of the Swiss guys don't seem to make the FLEX callouts during takeoff etc. that a lot of airlines do.

[@NuhadMannan]

The captain is really generous!

[@Captain-Fly]

My favorit JustPlanes Blu Ray .... takeoff amazing from SFO ..

[@ziauddinkhan5699]

Very nice, looked really special on my 55 inch tv.

[@emanueltavares2290]

Such a cool occupation!!

[@vagasint.4345]

Emanuel Tavares best one in he world 😉

[@sapanavarani9747]

At 7:52, pilot flying says "gear up", after that pilot notflying says "positive rate". Who was early and who was late?

[@theplanespotterguy]

Sapan Avarani you should say positive rate first and then gear up

[@joijaxx]

Beautiful!

[@justplanes]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chandrashekharyadav5744]

So so beautiful.. 😊

Fantastic cockpit.

[@goldenstateaviation2861]

Wow I’m used to LX39 being a 777-300ER

[@hussnajj1603]

My fav plane is the A340-300

[@joek5882]

Swiss has been using the 777-300ER on this route for some time now...an older video perhaps?
