US Airways Boeing 757-200 Takeoff from Glasgow GLA Airport

[FujiR500]

The 757 is one of my favourites....has climb power like a mofo....

[JamieT96]

Can you fly to LAX from GLA?

[markuss1977]

Wonder me a lot that more and more US carriers (US-Airways, American) will operate such middle-sized and smaller Boeing 757 aircraft into European Airspace. But I think all these 757 are speciality equipped with First-Class Long-Haul seats.

I am going to las vegas flying with us airways from glasgow to philadelphia then from there to Lasvegas mccarran airport , i think they are a good flight company as i have flew with them going to florida last year at christmas , so i thought they were a fantastic flight and also 5* care taking , they would come round asking all of us if we were ok and if we needed anything

[mc01236]

[jdjemaa]

very smooth

[Joesgurl06]

i really loved this aircraft! i flew on it from phoenix to honolulu and then honolulu to phoenix just last month. I was in 11F the 1st time, awesome flight and then 24E the 2nd time, such a smooth landing which was good cuz it was a red eye and it didn't wake anyone.

[Lonestar371973]

awesome take off

[gullivera]

It always amazes me that those little 757's can do transatlantic flights.

[RE2AY]

why are you amazed that a 757 can fly across the atlantic

is there a problem with that plane

[gullivera]

No no no, from what I understand its one of the most advanced airliners in the world. I'm talking more about the size, compared to a 747 or 777 its quite small (Although its still a large plane), and its surprising to imagine anything other than the "big boys" doing trans-atlantic flights. Its more than capable of doing it though.

[123miste]

There are some 737s capable of transatlantic flights. Check 737-700ER operational range. I recall that one Scotish company uses 737s for flights from Glasgow to Boston or NY?

[sheepdog2c7]

ill never forget my first flight to america for the wrong reasons

[bananamanuk]

Excellent a steady video and just great the way you captured the incredibly clear shadow - that made the video for me.

[Rokluver]

[TWA021]

[8TONY7]

[prepnyc]

[8TONY7]

[swatjosh0745]

yes cameras,mobiles they recommend this too. As companies can not be liable for damage to electronic goods.

[benlawr2000]

which seat number is this? thanks

[Belnahua]

Sorry, cannot remember, but it's the emergency exit seat.

[interstateruler]

I wonder how high that plane went?

[grant19912k7bud]

Orite Did this flight take off on the 22nd August cos if it did i took off the same day on flyglobespan heading to orlnado earlier that morning and our plane was parked right by a US airways and its was the only one i cud see in the airport at the time. wb

[rolercoastercrazy]

[planelover3640]

Alright flying to my hometown airport PHL. That airport is great and has sooo many US airways plane (thats the main airline. Good video

[jackdonekings]

sweet

[JustSteve18]

thats a brilliant vid , 5stars! thats amazing how long the shadow lasts for!!!

how long does the flight to philly take?

cheers

[flyingscotsman93]

when i went it was about 6 and a half hours - thats if us airways dont loose youre baggage like they did with us.

[FlashLighting]

thought u were not allowed to have ur mobiles on when flying on a plane

[Belnahua]

It wasn't a mobile, it's a stills camera that has a 5 minute video function. The steward was actually in the jump seat opposite me, and I asked him specifically for permission.

[Belnahua]

Thanks. It's just a shame the window was so filthy & scratched on the outside, which I never realised during the filming.

[pariahlabel]

Nice Shot... I can't believe how clear and long the shadow lasted.

[gsmaciel]

that shadow was truly great!
