Awesome Vid Man!!!!!! Im going on an Air Tran 717 later this month! CANT WAIT! I will be in row 25 on the way out and 26 on the way back, do you think that from the window seats there, I will be able to see the engine like that? Thanks :)
I like AirTran because it has destinations all over from little places. Were only the big airlines have all the destinations only in 3-4 cities. Their hub. Like DL, AA, CO, US, UA, and all the others wouldn't have straight flights from ex: Huntsville to Orlando Non-stop. Tho when I fly usually its on of those listed. Mostly I use AirTran for those last minute great deals!
Excellent take off video. Love how the water on the windows give a visual indication of the speed and the condensation flying past the wing just after lift off. Great sound as well.
I fly Airtran out of Sarasota on occasion and they have been pretty good so far, and I like the 717. To get to the Airtran gates you have to pass the US Air Gates, and every time I have been there - without fail - the US Air flight has been delayed or canceled due to mechanical problems. They must fly 30 year old soviet surplus jetliners or something.
I flew my first time with AirTran on a Boeing 717. First time I heard the groan of the engines, I got chills down my spine. Watching your video brings back those memories. Loved it!
Such a nice sound. Reminds me of a holidayflight I made in the early 90´s from Germany to Palma de Mallorca. I was flying with Aero Lloyd (ceased operations in 2003). They used the MD 83 and it also had this amazing sound. DC 9, MD 80-90, 717 a great jet family. I miss them here in Germany.
I'm flying from Baltimore to Aruba via Atlanta in September for my mom's wedding. But we're flying AA back home because Aruba service is only on Saturdays. lol
Yes, but surprisingly, I just flew on a 717, AirTran 998 to be exact, and that buzzing, it was not as intense as that, but I could only pick it up on camera, besides that spool up of The Rolls-Royce engines, sounds just like a normal jet.
This aircraft isnt old at all its probably from the 2000s they started makng 717s in 1996 and quit in 2006 and most of airtrans are from the 2000s so this plane is maybe only 5-7 years old,Great takeoff airtran just started service here in Charleston and I flew to Florida with them they are the best airline there is
@interceptorcrj Airtran almost had us take off with a back cargo door open....waiting to spool up on the deck....after a four hour delay. I think I've had better
you know...after a four hour delay...a taxi to takeoff and than a realization that a cargo door was open 30 seconds before takeoff from the pilot in the plane behind us....I really don't agree.
@PALLEN8112 B717s are actualy the updated glass cockpit version of the MD80. Boeing 717s like the one in this video were not developed until 1996. You are thinking of the old DC9s and MD80s.
