Bermuda425 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Turn up the volume for this STUNNING, Qantas Boeing 737 takeoff from Melbourne Airport [MEL/YMML], Australia. To skip straight to the takeoff, click here: 1:55 To hear an amazing buzzsaw, click here: 3:20 Not only did the weather conditions clear magnificently for the two USAF VC-32A's (Airforce 2) that visited Melbourne this same weekend; they also made way for some incredible flying conditions as seen in this video. Blue skies, light winds and a perfect amount of cloud to add definition to the sky are what ultimately lead to the flawless scenes. For all of you NBA fans, San Antonio Spurs star, Patty Mills was also on this flight, sitting just three rows in front of me which was pretty cool in itself. In saying that, the star of the show was the CFM56's that put on a spectacular show. The roar that was produced was amazing and certainly added to the awesome fun that this departure was!! Thank you for watching and we hope you enjoy this incredible Boing 737-800 takeoff from Melbourne Airport!! ~~~~Boeing 737 in Australia~~~~ The 737 is an aircraft that plays a pivotal roll in air travel here in Australia. Operated domestically by two airlines (Qantas and Virgin Australia), internationally by a large number of airlines (Qantas, Qantas Jetconnect, Virgin Australia, Tigerair, AirVanuatu, Fiji Airways, Garuda Indonesia, Malaysian Airlines, Silk Air, Malindo Air, Air Niugini) and also in the freight sector (Qantas Freight, Nauru Air, Toll). A number of variants of the 737 still operate in Australia: 737-300F, 737-400F, 737-700, 737-800, 737-900; with the 737-800 being the most common and also the particular type found in this video. It is fair to say that the 737 is the most popular airliner in Australia!! ~~~~FLIGHT INFORMATION~~~~ Airline: Qantas Airways Aircraft: Boeing 737-838 Flight Number: QF/QFA 610 Seat: 6A Route: Melbourne Tullamarine [MEL/YMML] - Brisbane [BNE/YBBN] ~~~~WHAT'S NEW~~~~ Next video: The Ultimate Plane Spotting Compilation Previous video: 2x USAF VC-32A Close Up Spoolshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwdyU... ~~~~AIRCRAFT INFORMATION~~~~ Manufacturer: Airbus/Boeing Aircraft Registration: VH-VYG Type: 737-838 C/N: 33995/1736 Delivery Date: 30th June 2005 Engines: CFMI CFM56-7B24 References: https://www.planespotters.net/airfram...

Hobnobs Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I could have put the usual; great video Erik, thanks for sharing.

VH-KDK Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Melbourne? Can't be the sun was shining! Thanks for showing this Erik, beautiful video and some very familiar scenery. The wife has just gone to work so I was able to crank up the volume. Great info too, only ever been on 2 737s though, both 376s, one TAA and one Qantas!

I always relish the reading of all the nice comments! This quote is my favorite, funny you mention it here. But probably it's every aviator's favorite Although often attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, the origin of this quote is somewhat puzzling. According to a discussion on Wikiquote, it was first printed in the science fiction novella “The Storms of Windhaven” in 1975. The authors adopted the phrase from the TV documentary “I, Leonardo da Vinci” written by John H. Secondari in 1965, but incorrectly assumed to be quoting da Vinci. Thus, John H. Secondari himself, or one of his inspirations, could be the source of this semilegendary quote. On 7/21/2016 at 1:37 PM, Turboarrow4 said: Nice video, Erik, thanks for sharing.

I didn't film it just subscribed the channel who uploads this - thus the source indication at the end I was impressed that you can get such a smooth filming with a handhold cam.

I though it's always sunny side up down under!? Though you'll like it as it's your neighborhood. You might as well sing-along with this I've never flown Boeing yet, only Airbus and CRJ but will have a premiere double special in August: B767-300 and 717-200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
