Southwest Airlines 737 MAX 8 - Gorgeous Takeoff from San Jose, CA (SJC)

This flight was the start of a bucket list item: Fly the 737 MAX into Long Beach, California. After a through stop in San Jose I was filled with excitement as we pushed back and prepared for takeoff. Unfortunately I was unable to film the previous landing in SJC on this same aircraft because a flight attendant took issue with me filming and demanded that I stop. Being the same crew as the inbound flight to SJC I had to be more discreet with this takeoff and subsequent landing so I had to film freehand, which I hadn’t done in about 3 years, so I apologize for the shaky video. It’s not the product I am used to putting out. The departure out of SJC is always scenic and beautiful but it was 100% more amazing experiencing it on the MAX 8.
