Cool video! Saabs are great planes. That seemed like a long takeoff roll though

The noise inside the Saabs is unreal when they hit full power on the runway!

Interesting how they assigned you to Runway 28. I've never witnessed a departure off of that outboard runway. Must have been a long taxi too

@BobWeaver112 Three of my four flights started or arrived on 28 on this day. Was always a long way...

@BobWeaver112 When atlanta airport is in the FTD(Full Triple Departures) configuration, ATC usually directs Props/Turboprops who are departing to the North and West to depart the northernmost departure RWY(8R/26L), while directing Props/Turboprops departing to the South and East to take off of the southernmost runway RWY(10/28). This way, at peak times, larger aircraft departing rwy 9L/27R don't have wait for the smaller propeller aircraft to get out of the way before they are able to take off.
