...WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO!...especially at 8:30 and the TAKEOFF. Another First Class video ALL THE WAY! American Airlines Flight 99 London Heathrow (LHR) to Chicago (ORD). Commander is Captain (Mrs.) Fitzsimmons a very senior and well respected Pilot at American Airlines and one of the Top 25 in the skies today worldwide! This video is awesome, loud and has very powerful engines + sound throughout the whole video...watch the whole movie as we power up and down throughout the 10 minutes...I had a hard time holding the camera still as I was sucked back into the massive First Class seat!

This was probably THE MOST POWERFUL TAKEOFF I have ever experienced as a passenger. Although not a full PAX payload, we were at MTOW (Maximum Take Off Weight) in part due to a full cargo load. Watch as Captain Fitzsimmons "blasts" off and takes us through the clouds above London towards Chicago (make sure to see the landing too). You can see the engine sucking in half of the air in England and the leading edge of the wing slicing it as we lift off. We made three climbs in between the clouds as she (Cap. Fitzsimmons) masterfully and smoothly took this awesome 777200 to Flight Level 380 (38,000 Feet) cruising altitude. You can hear the Trents whine, growl as we go up and up and then go almost silent ...

Please enjoy. Smart comments only! (My apologies for the spec of dirt on the window.) Make sure to see the landing and my other take off videos!
