[timfear90]

Amazing, to think that something weighing over half a billion tonnes can seem to float so effortlessly in the air!!

Hi, Great video!

QF107 LAX-JFK actually operates as an A330-200 (SYD-AKL-LAX-JFK). This departure would have been either a MEL or SYD departure.

@benwilliamzVL You're probably right. I tried looking up the departures that day on the Qantas website but the only one they had around that time was to NY. Maybe this one just wasn't published for some reason.

@SchmaveUCSB flightaware (dot) com could easily solve your aircraft use questions... if there's a change in equipment, you would see it on that website.

[svscared]

@SchmaveUCSB It could have been a very delayed departure to Australia. Either that or they switched the aircraft for the day.

@benwilliamzVL not likely the qantas A380's leave at night

[benwilliamzVL]

@qantaspilot95 QF A380's don't fly anywhere else ex LAX. The most likely scenario is that this is QF94 or QF12 running late. A delyed QF departure is the most likely explanation.

I love the T1i, it has such beautiful and accurate video-for not being a camcord. Really love it's video qualities. Thanks for this video, enjoyed watching it...I enjoy watching anything like this, especially at LA and involving Qantas!

top vid!

[hmcdonnell23]

Clarity of this video is quite good; what kind of camera are you using?

[SchmaveUCSB]

@hmcdonnell23 Thanks! I used a Canon T1i DSLR for this video. It takes pretty good videos but only 720p (not 1080p). I also added a little bit of sharpening when I edited it. The lighting was also really good which helps too.

@SchmaveUCSB Nice vid! although, you shuould rephrase your description lol. Me and my girlfriend found it hillarious that you said you went to the airport to SHOOT some airplanes....

[SchmaveUCSB]

@turbofan450 lol, yes, shoot with my camera, haha.
