IAH Simultaneous Take off Continental Airlines 737 & ERJ-145 Parallel Boeing

[onthemarkcharters]

Really enjoyed it. Thanks

[vzclubbie]

THAT is awesome! :)

[TheWarbirdPhoenix]

Just imagine,020808,you looked as cool taking off and making a dramatic turn to dissapear into the clouds as they were you,lol

[Pandacapricorn]

wow!!!

[atlshook]

this is sooo cool, i love airplanes

[TJM4WEATHER]

super cool!



[TheViperAttacker]

Finally. The FAA allows drag racing !!!

[puffaliciouschester]

continental could have used that footage for a commercial!

[ProudiPhoneOwner]

Nice!

[MrLuigigreen]

Wow what a video men, its really great, congratulations, regards from México.

[RickO4404]

Parallel takeoffs and landings like that are common. Especially at busier airports. It's perfectly safe as you noticed the distance in the video between where the 737 was taking off and the ERJ was taking off. Therefore, there is plenty of room to maneuver both planes safely away from each other.

[NextLvlProductions]

Beautiful !

[mapleavenue77]

Nice! I had this happen with an American Eagle ERJ out of DFW in Sept 2008. It had never happened before. I was in an AE ERJ too to Shreveport. Cool airports in Texas!

[NJAceSgt]

Awesome! I love how that 737 lifts off and then turns into the clouds.

[loubadown]

nice vid!!!!!!!

[TheAliante]

OHH MY GOD...! A FEW MONTHS AGO I HAD A SAME SITUATION BUT IT WAS WHILE LANDING, MY ERJ 145 AGAINST A 757 :0 but taking off is so much better

i can feel the speed :)

[btman2]

how many times can you get this shot? ...... not many.... Great Video!

[captairborne]

Love how the 737 eventually overtook the ERJ!

[winstonpafo]

What a great video!! I would love that. Flying Continental ERJ to Mexico in December. Can't wait!

[ejuoi]

were the passengers screaming?

[zitro72]

Excellent view, good Video !!! Congratulations!!! greetings from México.

[FlyingWing92]

That was some of the coolest footage I've seen on youtube. Great filming!

[whoisthis3211]

how the hell do people think this is photoshopped...i say its very real ,ive seen it happen before...very cool its wierd because youre used to thing going by you when your taking off but this plane is just stuck in your window and wont go away :)

[jetgreen6]

Niiiiiice!

[TurtleDove38]

Obviously photoshopped. The 737-900 would have whupped it's ass.

[guatemalteco808]

haha! I love this airport! and i love it when another aircraft takes off at the same time! LAWL!

[andriy123100]

racing shiiiiiiit

[MichaelD8393]

Cool, it's like an airplane race, but the ERJ won cuz it's smaller.

[flyguy0507]

Sick bro!

[rfsSenator2012]

drag race hahaha tight video

[dahliametal5]

Dude, Fucking Awesome

[3030mg1]

This has got to be one of the coolest videos ive seen!! Ive never seen that before

[biggare1980]

You gotta love th esound of those turbines on the regional jets!!!!

[Ahmidsviper]

wow that 737 must be fully loaded, very long takeoff run

[shezrat1]

It probably took off later because it is a bigger and heavier plane and it needs more speed to take off. I was in a 737 a few weeks ago and took off from dtw and I compared it to the time I took off in a crj 900 (headed for IAH) on the same runway and the crj 900 took off 8 seconds earlier.

Nice video. It is one of the best or the best take off video I have ever seen!!!!!

[btman2]

the express jet is is alot smaller.....

[hpflyboi]

not really.

[Northern206]

@Ahmidsviper that little ERJ regional can't out-climb the workhorse CFM56-7B though.. Left in the dust! Long live the 737!!

[mrbpdx]

This is a cool video.  I experienced this a lot out of SFO with United and Horizon. It is a cool exprience!

[1091Alcatraz]

wow man this video is awesome! thanks for posting.you must've felt a sort of adrenaline inside at that point didnt you?

[020808]

Yeah I did. I really lucked out on that vid. Got to thank the plane in front me that decided not to take off.

[omhat]

@020808 I remember lfying from Houston Texas to Quito Ecuador once at around 4:30 pm it was thunder and lightning in September of 2005, i love sbarros pizza at houstons airport, love the houston rockets, i miss taking off your mr. ansel adams with that beautiful photography. Continental stands by their name, they give the best service, they go out of your way to make you feel its your second home. I also love the nestle tollhouse cookie restaurant at IAH.

[fedoc69]

i wonder , if passengers from 737 saw the EMB145.. hope theres a video around :)

[no8do2008]

have you seen the planes taking off at newark?

[jmella]

Lets see who wins on lift-off.

AND the ERJ-145 wins!

[josesince82]

Nice!

[redcarsarasota]

This is one of the coolest videos on youtube, it captured something that doesn't happen all the time from a passenger point of view, thanks for posting!

[arnoldy09]

is it dangerous when its rainy ?

[020808]

No, it just like driving in the rain. Take ur time.

[nighthauke]

Wow, really cool.

[romino707]

Hey! Is that even safe?? The two planes could collide? That's not against FAA regulations or anything? I thought there was like a minute between take offs

[020808]

This is very safe and quite common. The planes are on parallel runways and there is enough room between the runways to allow to planes to take off at once.

[bigkevinpetrona]

lol wow thats a funny video and i have to say i have never seen that happen either this is a first for me but even though u guys toke off first the next aircraft was still in front of u guys when it was air-born cause he stayed a lil longer so it had built up more speed than u guys still freaking kool video man i dont see that happeneing at my work place kewr there is always a delay there

[Mysticlambo]

that was....rly cool!

[Heretic210]

is that an american DC-10-30 on 1:46 ?

[awin123]

EIther a DC-10 or MD-11 American retired both in the early 2000s though it looks to be in American livery and it does look like an DC-10 model.

[zildjiandrummr12]

Looks like a Martinair MD-11 to me.

[777janek]

haha!awoesme!

[risewiththelive1]

Awesome!!!!!

[th992000]

Really good! This most well be very funny:P

[cubsrule2040]

One would usually expect a 737-800 to go faster down the runway for take-off than the ERJ-145 because the 738 needs more runway and it's heavier. Haven't you seen the video of someone in a Continental 737-800 and took off at the same time a Southwest 737-700 took off? In that one the 737-800 went faster down the runway for takeoff than the 737-700, but the 73G took off first. I'm pretty sure that a 737-800 would have to go faster down the runway for take-off than an ERJ-145

[cubsrule2040]

hilarious but rude comment

[4841253]

You may find it funny but my pocketbook does'nt.  What's so rude about that?

[cubsrule2040]

It says this guy weighs 255 lbs, and wonders if fat people could fit in a seat on the plane

[Scote1992]

wow, that's a great video!

[jack9547]

the same thing happened to me, but it was during a landing here.  I don't know why I didn't take a video.

[albear972]

Dude, that's bad ass! I took a couple of vids taking off and landing from the same airport and Conti 737 HOU to LAX, I gotta put it up, not as cool as yours ;) it's hard to keep conspicuous filming while hiding your camera. ;)

[Theladismad]

WOW! that's insane

[davidcisneros8]

what the heck that could not happen hee hee

[risewiththelive]

Since I'm a plane geek, you made my day! Thank you soo much for posting this...This is awesome! Would you recommend Continental Airlines to me? I'm flying to EWR very soon.

[praetorian2150]

looks like the 737 had a centrifugual supercharged and the erj a twin screw. anyone that knows cars will laugh

[dan10024]

Epic!!

[aerialpic]

Better hope your chief pilot doesn't find out that filming is going on during passenger flights below 10,000 feet...Pilots have lost their jobs doing this...Great video by the way!

[futureb737pilot]

im not trying to be the smart ass here but the pilots cant loose their jobs because of this its not a radio device

[MAYINSANTI]

....CONGRATULATIONS MY FRIEND!

[gerorozco]

great video!! i love my rj, but those bigger jets can haul some butt. Continental rules too!!

[RichardDdog]

Now that's just ballin it would've made my day damn there's nothing better than aviation

[tester4200]

That was awesome!!!

[luckycharm786]

VERRRYY NICCEEE!!!! it was like a race lol nice one!

[Hannibal103]

Fantastic video! Thank you for sharing.

[752fan]

very close together. when you fly out of ATL, sometimes you take off the same time as TWO ther planes ATL is on of the only airports that can perform tripple takeoffs and landings

very nice video!!!

[ronja108]

Thats really cool, almost like a setup in flightsim.

[VICKYBARALLON01]

omg going through the skys is so fun your heart is like going up and dwon everyone on the plane goes ah and laugh loool!

[ibook133]

I love when planes land/take off into and out of clouds, kinda magical.

[blackhoumor]

wow^^

thats scary

[rnrdude76]

drag racing planes ha

[gusgus777]

I was thinking the same thing! lol

[cbatiste]

lol me 2. the plane the camera was in was like, "yes we got the lead. he'll never catch up". the other plane zooms past. "damn bastards with their turbo boost"

[yeshudeep]

amazing footage

[bubbajex]

kewl

[iranair777]

'Lets see who can get to V1 first :p'

[ovatsug1]

do you even know what v1 is?

[iranair777]

Why the hell would I want to include V1 in the sentence if I dont know what it is?! Honestly, people these days!

btw, It means the go/no go point where depending on the runway length and the weather conditions the speed at which you can abort the take off from without a overrun

[NickoD999]

excellent

[Fabiomueller1655]

ddddddddddddddddddddd

[B3rettaZ26]

awesome vid!!!

[allflight57]

awesome video! that as cool to see the 737 disappear right into the clouds

[stuckinpodunk]

great video, i work in ops at iah, so i'm always on these runways on the ground, but don't see it from the passenger view very often...awesome perspective!

[ACCAASSS]

I keep coming back to this...to watch. Amazing to see the raw power of a 737 compared to the ERJ

[akrudolphy]

nice! i've seen paralell landings before but never have i seen paralell take offs and i do fly quite often. congrats on the footage.

[stiffler1979]

Very cool video ! I have never seen this before.

[shamsheer123]

wow

[ke3wh]

wow

[ACCAASSS]

this is a 5 star video. zero questions asked. Amazing plane, clouds etc.

[michaelballack]

how was the ride??

[jsimms516]

THAT IS A HOT ASS VIDEO Congrats on that kinda footage, perfect

[niamh301]

the same ting happened 2 me landng in SFO. i was on a united 757 while bside was a british airways 747!!

[blackberryalex]

the same thing happened to me when i was taking off in denver

it is an amazing site to see

the video quaility was amazing i must say

[atenco01]

See Landing in Phoenix by atenco01...Cool side by side landing... Great video, thanks for sharing...

[jimmyrussell23]

impressive

[PW4056]

Well, when you think about it, the Embraer ERJ-145 is smaller, so it can get into the air at a slower speed. Interesting to see two take-offs at the same time like that, though. I've never seen that before.

[jetdillo]

That's pretty freakin' cool dude.

It's rare to catch something like that.

[racsito39]

Flawless, that was just flawless! :)))

(5/5)

PS: Imagine if someone else was taping your aircraft and then upload to youtube, now that would be 2x awesome.

[skylimitone]

Excellent!

[Roxas305]

ha it looked just like a race and then the other just tilted into the cloud...

[EnteiRocks]

at kind of boeing were u in?

[ryr737]

he wasnt in a boeing he was in an erj-145

[geoff421]

Very nice vid...the 737 must've been pretty full but it was interesting to see how even tho the embraer was the first to become airborne, the power of the 737 engines won out in the end

[ayospanky]

that was amazing

[ecrdab747]

The embraer had a very good start but I think that in the end, the 737 won the race.

[PLANESARECOOL94]

great video. You really lucked out this time!

[EnteiRocks]

wow u and dat otha plane took of at da some time

[crisgarver]

hey Slytherin2 that´s houston intl

[Slytherin2]

Yes, I know. I said that big cities and airports such as Houston, Phoenix, New York, etc. have dual take-offs and landings like this.

[1VOLCOMSTONE]

cool video!

[crisgarver]

wow i´ve never whatched a double takeoff

nice

[Slytherin2]

Yeah pretty cool! In big airports like Houston or Phoenix, for example, sometimes 2 or 3 take off and/or land at the same time. :)

[020808]

Thanks, for the comments everyone. Glad you all like it. This one is my favorite on here. Things just worked out great on this flight. I noticed that I tend to sit on the otherside of the plane on take offs from that runway, so I really lucked out on this flight.

[franzd03]

Nice. It's almost as if the two planes were racing. Yours got off first so I guess you won.

[Manu2455]

Nice Video congratulations.

[UAL012]

That was AMAZING. One hell of a job!

[TexanHotty]

WOW!!! Thats one of the most awesome take-off vids I've seen! (And I can assure you, I've seen hundreds of them!) Thats great!! I loved it!!!!

[jmu2008]

AWESOME video! I have been enjoying all of your videos quite a bit, thank you for posting!

[020808]

Thanks, glad u like em.

[faintexas]

I work for Co, thanks for a rare shot.

[seichorn]

absolutely awesome! Too bad there wasn't more video.

[020808]

thanks, it was just all clouds after we took off

[pipercub55]

A rare shot! Nice!
