That's an older -37, with the older style thrust reverse assembly on the back end of those JT3D's, I think is what they are. Amazing; that initial left turn on the climb-out STARTS essentially right after V2. That would be fun to do. Love this video.
I remember flying those old -200s from Bethel-Anchorage countless times. The newer jets are extremely nice, but the old ones had that classic feel, it was awesome. Nice vid!
I wouldn't call it the "Lemon Creek" departure...more like the "OOOOHHHH SHH*^^^^" departure! I'd be screaming bloody murder!! Someone would have to come take a coffee pot to my poor demented head to put me and everyone else out of my misery! (haha!) I don't like flying much; this would be the positive END of me.
@SenorSpode - depends. I don't get sick so much on water. Freuqently do when flying! Then again, I've never been on any really rough water. Not sure I'd handle that very well. I have labrinthytis (sp?) and severe vertigo; twisty/turny roads and jerky camerawork in movies don't go over very well. Be happy you don't have that if you enjoy trick flying!
I got a newsflash. That plane had better be completely de-iced and you guys are loaded light to pull off this stunt. You better not even be close to full capacity.
@stratoleft (1) There was no precipitation falling which would've accumulated on the wings, (2) there was none on the ground at that time, (3) the ambient temperature was not conducive to icing conditions, precip or none, and (4) I think the PAJN staff and Alaska know what they're doing. You've obviously never been to Alaska or flown there. As far as capacity: If they're going to Anchorage, they're probably at 75% MTOW or below.
@SenorSpode Then if there is no ice, as you say, then for all practical purposes it's de-iced, then. Planes do stall, or come close, now and then. It simply depends on where and when. You sure don't want it in this video.
@stratoleft That's why there's a Pilot's Operation Handbook with every aircraft. It shows the parameters of operation, from stall to minimum climb speed, maximum rate-of-climb speed, etc. There's also corporate policy that dictates adhesion to the rules. Flying's largely by feel, but if pilots did that all the time then they wouldn't have college educations or care about their passengers, let alone themselves. I trust Alaska's pilots wholly. Call it unqualified, but I trust them.
I got the exact same plane from TinMouse for my FS2004 and I perform the same procedure flying out of Runway 8. Even on a PC, it's a kick! It keeps you busy, that's for sure. But what a view!
I live in Juneau and whats cool about this departure is that they never turn left taking off Runway 8 they always go right and fallows a channel out of the airfield very odd they would do a left turn after takeoff cool video.
YA ! The Good Old 200's flew in them alot. Looks like even the passengers are flying on the seat of there pants. Great Video there! You get a number #10.
All electronic devices should be shut off. Idiot, and it is not even that wild of a ride. Disneyland teacup rides are more thrilling. Would love to know what airline this was. You should only be allowed to travel by bus from now on.
now they no longer use this obstacle DP; I flew out of there this year and we did a straight-out RNAV climb up the Gastineau Channel; pulled some g doing it in an -800.
WOW! That was a spectacular takeoff. Good video. I know Alaska Airlines has replaced the 737-200`s, but what to they use on flights in Alaska now? The 400 series?
I love interesting Takeoffs but I am less excited about interesting Landings ... I like the acceleration and the feeling of raw power but I don't like the slowing down part that Landings require ... I just want to get up an go fast.
Yeah thats some hardcore climb rate but in the faa approved procedures the climb rates are listed in feet per nautical mile not minute, so the faster you are, the faster you have to climb, which is why you could get into some hot water quick if it was a warm day, had a heavy plane, and a tail wind
Yikes, looks like you'd only have to be off course by a few hundred feet to slam into the side of a mountain. Surprised that procedure is FAA approved, maybe they better take another look at it.
@robinspillman what? lol that makes no sense! it doesn't matter where you are, the planes will be the same size, the difference is the US has alot more airlines that fly planes like the 747.
Reminds me of the praying and cheering flights we used to have on a regular basis flying into Southeast Alaska...praying we would land safely...and cheering when we did!
always felt confident flying the 737-200 cause you always knew there were so many high hours planes out there with more hours than the one you were flying. If something was going to break it would have broken on another high hour plane.
@goyherder That means absolutely nothing theres so many different things that can go wrong. It's a completely different plane with completely different circumstances. If something goes wrong with a boeing 737 with 500,000 hours you think the same exact thing is going to happen to a newer boeing 737 when it reaches 500,000 hours? haha wow
@lolz651 its a 737 only one wing per tip don't name it if you don't know it leave it to people who know about plane you just like them not know about them I know about them and like them
Courcheval, France, yep, know that one. And the shorter, higher version, known as Lukla in Nepal. With Lukla, there's no go-arounds; you botch it, that's all she wrote.
and here I thought the Concords Kenndy1 Depart turn was fun..I am gonna have to try this one.. I bet the aircraft was yelling bank angle, might be the way the cam is held tho.. Looks fuuuuuun
Very cool! I'm glad you kept the video rolling so we could see down Gastineau channel and Eaglecrest. This is also called the Lemon Creek departure. I used to live in Lemon Creek, and every morning at 2am (when the wind was out of the east), Alaska Airlines had a old, loud 727 full of cargo depart runway 8. It was a pretty good alarm clock. A few hours early, but effective.
I've flown in and out of this airport, both in real life and Flight Simulator. Either way, it's a hair-raiser! It's definitely a take-off (or even approach) that will keep you busy and have Mr. Sphincter chewing chunks out of the seat.
I just flew on a 737 200 two days ago, I love that plane, I just do and the flight was the smoothest flight i've had in years. My view however, wasn't nearly as spectacualr as yours I am afraid. this is great
