Midwest Airlines MCI-MKE (takeoff)

[i8nrx8]

Great video!!!! R.I.P Midwest. my dad flew there for almost 20 years.....and they all got screwed over......this company will be missed!!!!

[headz51230]

I've connected in MCI probably a dozen times on the old Midwest and they always hauled ass like this heh. I miss those guys

[gavind38]

Taxi fast enough?

[105Raptor]

@gavind38, i thought that was the takeoff for a min lol

[airbuscrazy]

aww i just realized this vid could become a piece of history, cause there's no more Midwest, and in 10-25 years 717's will prolly be fairly scarce.

[Erich64x2]

@airbuscrazy to even fly on one is rare, only Airtran and Hawaiian in the U.S,

[usgeosurvey]

my cousine is a pilot for midwest

[boeingnerd77]

has midwest airlines ceased operations or there 717's

[boeing7372]

only on the 717s republic now operates all mainline and express flights using (Embraer E170, E175, E190, and E135/145) and now Frontier Airbuses on some routes

[RCT3fanatic95]

yep beginning of november they did (2nd of november i think). now its the E-Jets and the 135 and 145. Frontier will also be doing services to west coast destiantions and some east coast like Boston and such for republic, covering the routes midwest had for mke. So sad!

[boeingnerd77]

will they still have thier choco chip cookies'freshly baked on board'

[RCT3fanatic95]

yes i believe they will be still be serving them. But i believe Frontier crew are having a fit about it because its a "extra chore". I learn this from my dad who works at MKE in airport Operations.

[vanhalo]

Ah the BMW/Rolls-Royce BR705.

[JMG717]

BR715-A1-30 actually

[JMG717]

Must have been a light load. I wonder why he was taxiing so fast, was he late for tea with Hoeksema? Or maybe he wanted to walk in on his wife and the neighbor a little early. lol

[satexadmin]

lol @ his taxi speed...

[DirectFilms]

Go to my video where I show the entire plane and how it looks like. It shows the old configuration where every seat was a first class seat.

[westernstar4964]

Music to my ears

[planedude1]

never flown midwest but they dont have as many flight to and from minneapolis as they used to.

[ny1092]

That 717 just floats right off the ground.

[headz51230]

On YX I should say now I'm NWA

[headz51230]

I used to be YX FF..A lot of my flights are out west and the last time I was in LA my flight home was a 717 LAX-MCI-MKE, pretty sweet.

[jec8992]

Kansas City has a big ass airport LOL!

[N605JB]

what seat were you in?

[airbuscrazy]

Uh, can't remeber exactly, I moved around throughout the flight, but this must've been, 17 or 18.

[StellaInc]

Kool guys MKE also home to me. Great VId 5*

[betterthenumusicvids]

I love Midwest because it's my hometown airline in MKE. But they aren't doing so great right now, I hope they don't go bankrupt.

[airbuscrazy]

Yeah, my dads a copilot for their md-80s, likely he'll be layed off

[YxJames]

Nice, MKE is my home.
