    When I was growing up near Saint Louis-Lambert International Airport, Air Illinois flew the Twin Otters to smaller communities in the Land of Lincoln and the Show-Me State. The original Frontier Airlines also flew Twin Otters from Denver to smaller communities in Colorado and Nebraska.

  • @ireumiobseum
    @ireumiobseum 3 роки тому

    The 'thing' that happened during takeoff was most probably a run-up. It is commonly done for prop engines prior to takeoff though not every takeoff. Usually it is done if it's the first flight of the day. Some do it at the holding point with brakes on before entering the runway, depending on airline procedures.

    Hey great video covering my country's national airline, be it the domestic route, yeah it is a short trip, Judging by the video it seems it was a while ago, Do hope you enjoyed your trip. The part when the plane went full throttle then they idled, probably an engine throttle check or a mistake by the pilot, normally they stop on the runway, power up with the brakes on i think then quickly release and the plane accelerates and takes off. Maybe a Twin otter pilot can correct me.
