VS23 P2 - Virgin Atlantic A340-600 Heathrow - Los Angeles. Takeoff & Climb

[pumchuckpoo]

what is all the shacking at 3.55

[JF15100]

@HeathrowSpottingHD Do you think you had a smooth flight in the A340-600? Is it comfortable? I had a 777-300ER last time and got some turbulence round it, just feels not that stable, how is the A340-600 feels? BTW can you please tell me what's your seat number in this? Thanks

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@JF15100 It's in the description, my seat number. I flew the 77W LAX-LHR-LAX and was much more stable and smooth. The A346 is loud behind the engines, especially when climbing in flight. The 77W is defiantly more stable, probably the most stable I've ever flown to be honest.

I wanna go LA :)

Good Video! I love Flying Virgin Atlantic. Been To Los Angeles a lot of times.

Thanks for Sharing HeathrowSpottingHD. ;)

[BlitKiiD]

Great vid, thanks for uploading

@nicou2fender Its a fantastic terminal! I was always a Virgin flyer but BA really have done well on T5. Flew out of there earlier this year to San Francisco on one of their many 744s.

1:14 Cool a row of ba's

[karleriksmithson]

I love virgin atlantic, when I went on them to new york with my family they gave a bag to my sister and me. Also they had to bags under the seat. :D

[Snafu320]

@yeajidong Just shut up you attention starved child. I love how you have removed the video of yourself which clearly shows that you are no older than 12. You are not a pilot, so what you can copy and paste from Google and look like you are one. Also I doubt a pilot would use the term "drive a plane" or not know the ICAO code for the aircraft they fly.

[mariodebontridder]

awesome vid!!!

[yeaajiadong]

@HeathrowSpottingHD And for goodness sake, if you want to be a pilot, you cant even get the biggest aircraft in the world right. Everyone can be a pilot dude, its just that you have to memorize all the controls. Its not difficult pulling up or releasing the controls, dude! That is incredible! Im 50 already, dude and you are just 18 plus. For when are you going to grow up. Im not lying. Wow, only cowards like you would block me because you cannot face reality.

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@yeaajiadong No everyone can not become a pilot mostly for medical reasons and disabilities. It's not just pulling back a yoke and putting the throttle to god knows what N1. It's called a thing called SKILL which you have to practice for and not just get. Your 50? I think you would be a little bit more mature than you are mate. I blocked you because your spamming my videos, probably disliking, telling bullshit to my subscribers.

[yeaajiadong]

@HeathrowSpottingHD Hi, maybe you have some bad eyes because you didnt read my previous comments. If you read, i did say that that was not my videos. Bollocks, go read it again. Dont just comment and lie without reading anything. And for your pilot training, hope you have a fucking good time there:) Did i say i was 12? Ive never bothered posting any videos on mine because firstly, i dont have the time. And i dont live near the airport. Is there a a388??? Idiot, its a380.

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@yeaajiadong I'm shirt sighted thanks. No I did not waste my time reading your crap I do have a bit of a life.. No you can't read then because I said you looked 12. A388 is a shorter term for writing A380-800 and covers all the other types like -861 -842 etc. Like people use B744. So your wrong by saying it's just A380.

[fabiobuccideassis]

Perfect video. It would be better if was with a Boeing 777, but, it's ok. Nice video.

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@fabiobuccideassis Yep I was going to go with ANZ but they weren't offering a resonable price & weren't flying there new 773's atm as they are having some seats removed or something. My next flight I'm going to make sure its on a 777-2/3 ;) Still first time on the A346 & a pretty nice Aircraft, reminds me a lot of the A380

[fabiobuccideassis]

@HeathrowSpottingHD That's nice. And how is flying the A346? I flew in the A330, and it was awesome. Airbus ir very nice, but i prefer Boeing, how about you?

[carde028]

@HeathrowSpottingHD

The last trip I took I had a choice between an A320 or a 777, paid the extra 70 and went on the 772 lol

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@carde028 Yeah deffo would two! What Route/Airline?

[carde028]

@HeathrowSpottingHD

It was Auckland to Melbourne. Went with Air NZ instead of Jetstar - our version of Easyjet.

Congrats on the training too, Im starting my training with CTC in Hamilton, New Zealand next month. See you in the air in the future =)

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@carde028 Ah awesome! Yeah I know of them. Really? I was looking into CTC if I had to return to the UK for what ever reason. All the best mate!

[Snafu320]

@yejiadong But you're not though. You're an attention starved teenage who has to pose as a pilot. If you're an A380 pilot name all 3 Hydraulic colours and what each of the do/power.

[latioswow]

@yejiadong I'm just colour deficient, a big difference...and there are colour deficient pilots. These pilots are not allowed to fly at night

[Snafu320]

@yejiadong Are you bollocks a pilot!

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@Snafu320 He's not a pilot mate, if he was I'd be very very worried about SIA & VS hiring young Captains like he ''is''

[Snafu320]

@Snafu320 Yeah, amazing how pathetic some people are. Nice video, btw!

[rachaelmatt]

Brilliant video mate! Looks awesome at 10:30 with the sun reflecting off the wing! Cant wait until I fly Virgin again which hopefully should be early next year!

[john2llm]

wait.. no inflight meals?!?!?!? just drinks and a "light snack"?!?!?!? WTF?!?! an 11 hour flight with just a light snack?!! i am NEVER flying british or american airlines ever!!! im sticking to Emirates, air france and lufthansa thank you very much!!

[rachaelmatt]

@john2llm Wait what!? Where did they say that!? I've flown with Virgin many times on shorter flights than this and we had 2 meals! Gatwick to Barbados which is about 8 hours 40mins we had 2!

[john2llm]

@rachaelmatt when the woman started talking during the climb she was like "blablabla entertainment system blablabla a drink service blablabla alcohol with moderation blablabla and a light snack before landing" !! it surprised me!! i hope @HeathrowSpottingHD sheds some light onto this!!

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@john2llm Huh? There was a proper meal and 2 snacks. Eat a burger before and take crap loads crisps and you will be fine

[john2llm]

@HeathrowSpottingHD oh sorry.. must have misheard.. :P btw i LOOOOOOOOOOOVE your vids!! ive been subscribed since early 2010!! anyways thanks for clearing up that misunderstanding! although its kinda true what i said about the american airlines' services! trust me i have been on one (delta).. not the best, but it was ok..

[airfoxtrot2006]

Very cool, i like your commentary on what phases the plane is doing, reminds me of my train spotting friend who says the numbers of each coach out loud lol! Hope you had a great holiday.

[latioswow]

I want to become an airline pilot...but I don't think I will ever make it :(

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@latioswow You will if you have the determination, i get that feeling all the time but think about everything and it will go away!

[latioswow]

@HeathrowSpottingHD thanks for the support!! but I'm just worried that my eyes won't pass the test

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@latioswow No Problem, don't worry about that asshole. He's not a pilot and he's about 12 years old. Ignore everything he said. The pilots on board my flight had glasses on, i'm short-sighted and have prescription sunglasses and flying school said its fine and should get me through my medical! 

[latioswow]

@HeathrowSpottingHD Thanks man, you encouraged me a lot!:) but I really have to start taking care of my eyes if I want to become a pilot!

[yeaajiadong]

@HeathrowSpottingHD heathrow Spotting got all his facts from my youtube profile and its incredible that he stated all of them here. As credible as it is not, you can check out the airlines websites if you like and not make some random comments here. I didn't say that pilots couldn't wear glasses! They can because most do, i only said cannot be above 500 degrees and no colour blindness! i wear glasses too! You bollocks i bet you are the one 12 because you cant even understand a single sentence!

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@yeaajiadong Yes because you have lots of facts on your youtube channel? I have a name it's on my channel. When did I say you said pilots couldn't wear glasses? Making up lies AGAIN! Yes i'm 12, i lied about leaving school etc. And ''You Bollocks i bet you are the one 12'' doesn't really make sense does it? Mate i've made a good point on all your pathetic comments, now please go troll on someone ele's videos and live a fake life! Post a video with YOU in the flighdeck saying your name ;)

[jonny96]

@HeathrowSpottingHD That TAM aircraft at the start looks a lot nicer! haha

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@jonny96 Haha I was a bit more jealous watch BA's 773 takeoff! Not a big fan of Airbuses long haul fleet if i'm honest! The A320s are great but anything more just isn't a smooth ride. Awful breaking on this aircraft as well.

[phimister7]

What airline do you want to fly for?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@phimister7 My first Airline will be who ever is hiring! Not going to be fussy on that one at all. Once i get my hours & experience i'd look to join EK on the 777 fleet as they offer such a good program and opportunities. I doubt i'll ever fly for a British Airline and live back in the UK, will most likely be a US Airline. AA should have some jobs around the time i should finish my training so will keep and eye out for that!

[AlphaFilms1337]

lool cheeky fire

[Flightmode747]

did i hear "3 dme" @5:30 and other commands from the cockpit or am i hearing things???

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@Flightmode747 Well someone picked up on it ';) was me lol.

[Flightmode747]

@HeathrowSpottingHD lol great commentary i was starting to think either the pilots left the cockpit door open and talk really really loud or you managed to slip a microphone into the cockpit lol

[smarttubber123]

damn that ascent was pretty fast!

[boeingnerd77]

sounded like a rough max thrust

[reedyspeedy12]

thats a big que at 1.35 :O

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@reedyspeedy12 Yeah! 7 Airbuses in that queue and 1 taking off, still had an Air Canada 767 in front of us and Iberia A320 behind!

[AlphaFilms1337]

Nice one again mate, how late did ya leave?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@AlphaFilms1337 Check out the Flightaware in the description ;)

[AlphaFilms1337]

@HeathrowSpottingHD thats looong lol
